4 Swisscom (Switzerland) Ltd Standard settings for DHCP address distribution Under Settings, Network, choose the Basic Settings tab. Under Network Settings and IP Address Distribution, you will see the current IP settings of your router. When the router is delivered (factory settings), the IP address distribution settings are as follows. The router s IP address is and the subnet mask is This means that the router can address 253 devices in your network (LAN). The DHCP server of the router is enabled. The IP addresses to are earmarked for static IP addresses that can be permanently assigned to a device in the network (LAN). The IP addresses to are earmarked for dynamic IP addresses and are assigned by the DHCP server of the router. The IP addresses to are designed for IP telephones (VoIP) used in the LAN. See also Advanced Settings. The address ranges x and x are blocked for use in the LAN. These addresses are reserved for the Guest WLAN, for example. Swisscom recommends that you do not adjust the standard settings where possible. 1.6 Changing IP address distribution Under the Basic Settings tab, you can adapt IP address distribution for your network (LAN) according to your needs. Network Settings: Here you can determine the router IP addresses for your network (LAN). With the subnet mask, you can determine how many IP addresses are available in your network. IP Address Distribution: Enable or disable the DHCP server of the router Adjust the range of dynamic IP addresses, start and end of distribution range Adjust the IP address of the router (gateway)(normally identical to the IP address of your router)

6 Swisscom (Switzerland) Ltd VoIP end device separation By separating (separate IP range) VoIP and Internet traffic, it is possible to reduce jitter (phase noise) and thereby improve voice quality. Under VoIP IP Address Distribution, enter the first six characters of the MAC address of your VoIP telephones, e.g. Aastra telephones, in the OUI field. Each manufacturer has a different MAC address. Depending on the number of VoIP end devices, define the distribution range for each MAC address under Range Starts at IP Address and Range Ends at IP Address. Save the settings by clicking on Save. If you now connect a VoIP telephone of the defined manufacturer to your network (LAN), a corresponding IP address will be assigned to it.
