Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)
The Voice Gateway includes Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), which is a Quality of Service (QoS)
feature. This feature is enabled, and the Voice Gateway uses it automatically with clients running
applications that support WMM.
WMM QoS provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on
four categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the
benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application must be WMM-enabled.
Legacy applications that do not support WMM, and applications that do not require QoS, are
assigned to the best-effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video.
From the main menu, under the Setup heading, select Wi-Fi Multimedia. The Wi-Fi Multimedia
screen appears:
The default setting is
Auto
. You can change the setting to
On
or
Off
. If you make a change, click
Apply to change the settings.
LAN IP Settings
The gateway is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a DHCP
server. The LAN IP settings are explained below:
•
LAN IP address.
This is the IP address of the gateway.
The default is 192.168.0.1.
•
Subnet mask.
This is the LAN subnet mask of the gateway. The default is 255.255.255.0.
Combined with the IP address, the subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses
are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router.
Figure 4-7
Note:
If you change the LAN IP address of the gateway while connected through the
browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to
the new IP address and log in again

These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private
networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to
use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in the LAN IP page.
•
DHCP Server.
By default, the gateway is a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server. See
“Using the Gateway as a DHCP Server” on page 4-8
.
•
Starting Address and Ending Address
. Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by
setting the Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address. These addresses should be part of the
same IP address subnet as the gateway’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing
scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.253. The range of IP
addresses between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.9 can be used for devices with fixed (or static)
addresses.
•
DHCP Reservation Lease Info.
View information about each PC that has been assigned a
DHCP lease by the gateway. The MAC address of the PC, IP address assigned and the
expiration time of the DHCP lease are listed. You can manually revoke the DHCP leases by
clicking Clear DHCP Leases.
Using the Gateway as a DHCP Server
By default, the gateway is a DHCP server. It can assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway
addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The default wireless voice gateway address is its
LAN address. The wireless voice gateway assigns IP addresses to the network computers from a
pool of addresses specified in the Starting Address and Ending Address fields. Each pool address
is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
The gateway delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•
An IP Address from the range you have defined.
•
Subnet Mask.
•
Gateway IP Address is the gateway’s LAN IP address.
•
Primary DNS Server, if you entered a Primary DNS address in the Basic Settings page;
otherwise, the gateway’s LAN IP address.
Note:
If another device on your network is the DHCP server, or if you will manually
configure the network settings of all of your computers, select No for the DHCP
Server. For more information about DHCP and IP addresses, see the link to
“Preparing a Computer for Network Access:” in Appendix B
.

•
Secondary DNS Server, if you entered a Secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings page.
Configuring the LAN IP Settings
You can use the LAN IP Setup page to configure LAN IP services such as the IP address of the
gateway and DHCP.
To configure the LAN IP:
1.
Under the Advanced heading on the main menu, select LAN IP. The LAN IP screen displays.
2.
Enter the following information:
•
LAN IP Address.
The LAN IP address that you want to assign to your gateway. The
default is 192.168.0.1.
•
Subnet Mask.
The subnet mask for your network IP address. The default is
255.255.255.0. (Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the default subnet mask.)
•
DHCP Server.
To to assign IP addresses to your computers automatically, select Yes. To
disable the DHCP Server and assign IP addresses to your computers manually, select No
.
Note:
The gateway implements a DNS Relay function. When it receives a DNS request
on the LAN, it passes it to the DNS server specified on the WAN. It then relays the
response back to the original requesting PC.
Figure 4-8
Note:
If you select no for the DHCP server setting, then you must assign a static
IP address to your PC in order to reconnect to the gateway and enable the
DHCP server again.
