Configuring IP Calling

If your system is part of a LAN, use this section to configure the system to work 
with the LAN.

Go to System Info > Admin Setup > LAN/H.323 > LAN/Intranet > LAN & 
Intranet.

Configure these settings:

Host Name

Indicates the system’s DNS name.

The LAN Host Name:

must begin with a letter and end with a letter or number

may include up to 63 letters, numbers, and hyphens

is not case sensitive. 

Note: If you change the Host Name, the system restarts.

WINS Resolution

Sends a request to the WINS server for WINS name resolution.

DHCP

Specifies how the system obtains an IP address.

Client — The system gets an IP address from the DHCP server 
on the LAN. The DHCP server also supplies the DNS server 
address, default gateway, subnet mask, and WINS server 
address. If the DHCP server is not available, the system cannot 
get an IP address.

Off — The IP address will not be assigned automatically. You 
must enter the IP address, DNS server address, default 
gateway, subnet mask, and WINS server address manually.

Server — The ViewStation FX or VS4000 system’s internal 
DHCP server assigns up to 12 IP addresses to network devices. 
Assigned IP addresses range from 1.1.1.2 to 1.1.1.14. 
To use this option, you must enable it during a SoftUpdate. For 
more information, see 

.

Note: Do not use this setting if the ViewStation FX or VS4000 is 
connected to a LAN with a DHCP server.
The setting will not take effect if the system is on a LAN with an 
active DHCP server. 
If the system has previously been configured as a DHCP server, it 
reverts to being a DHCP client when it is connected to a LAN and 
restarted.
