2. Press “menu”.
3. Choose “config”, then “Network”, Then “Static IP”.
4. Hard Phones are part of the 192.168.1.0/24 network. The server is set at 192.168.1.3/24. The Hard phones can be set at any other unused IP address except the default gateway of 192.168.1.100. Enter IP Address such as 192.168.1.55.

Configuring X-Lite soft phone
This lab will assist you in enabling X-Lite 4 soft phone voice communication using User ID extensions. When you open X-Lite 4, you should be able to enter your party’s extension and hit call. This lab demonstrates how to configure the terminal for dialing and receiving calls.
