Chapter 6: Basic Network Configuration

This section provides you with information on basic network configuration. Basic network settings 
can be derived from a DHCP server or entered manually through TCP/IP Setup.

Using DHCP the device requests and obtains an available IP address from a DHCP server. The 
device also obtains other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, DNS server, 
Time server and other IP parameters from the DHCP server. 

Using manual TCP/IP Setup the IP addresses and other networking parameters are entered 
manually through the web based Administration Page. The static IP addresses are unique, 
provided and managed by your system administrator.

When configuring a Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 Solution, it is strongly recommended to 
configure:

Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 using static IP address

Media resources using DHCP

Base stations using DHCP

If the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 Solution is configured as recommended above, it is 
possible to assign options to the DHCP server making it extremely easy to configure all media 
resources and base stations. 

If the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 is configured using DHCP, it is necessary to assign a 
reservation for the device on the DHCP server. 

 

When using DHCP on base stations and media resources, the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 
6500 must have either a static IP address or IP address reservations assigned to the DHCP 
server.

 

When the Spectralink Wireless devices are set up to DHCP, you need to use UPnP to 
discover the Wireless devices. The devices will appear under Network and Other Devices as 
“<device name>-<Serial number> “, for example, Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500-8442621 
or MR6500-84532341.
