PAP2T static IP

Hi,

I have my PAP2T working ok with a dynamic IP. I would like to set it to use a static IP, so that I can set up QOS on my Dlink router for it.

I went into the web panel (btw, userid: user, password: 123) and set...

DHCP: No
Static IP: 192.168.1.201
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

It restarts, and I can log into the web panel now at 192.168.1.201 just fine. But, the ATA is not registering with VOIPo. If I set it back to dynamic, then it registers again ok.

I was thinking maybe this has to do with the DNS addresses are not specified when in static mode, but I also don't see anywhere where I can set the DNS addresses.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Your dlink should be able to statically assign your device the same address every time. You have to set it up. Might get you by if all else fails...

Ok, I was not aware it could do that. Can you point me to instructions on how to (just in case this cannot be fixed in the PAP2T)?

Edit:
Duh, I figured out how to reserve an IP (on the Dlink). Just do a DHCP Reservation under Setup -> Network settings.

Would still like to fix static IPs in the PAP2T though.

I do my entire network that way just because I can go in easily and see what a particular device is in case Ive forgotten.

Ive never had a pap2 but on the Linksys rt31p2 model there was a dns entry in the admin pages.

In the PAP2T, I see the entries for DNS in the system tab screen.

This the page?

Same on all models?

Yes, but on the provisioned one I just got, they have the DNS servers filled in with what I recognize to be OpenDNS IPs..

208.67.220.220

208.67.222.222

Here's mine, secondary DNS is blank:

Was your provisioned?

Let's be sure we're talking about the same box. Mine is a PAP2T recently sent to me from VOIPo...provisioned, and it is rock solid.

Mine is BYOD. It is a PAP2T. I had 2 1/2 years of no outages with these settings. Recently I had about 2 weeks of not registering, but it has been solid again for the last week.

I left mine as it was provisioned and I can't imagine anything working any better.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that it stays this way.

Well, here is my System page, in Advanced mode:

I guess the difference is I am logged in as User. So, does this mean you have to be in Admin mode to set up static ip?

The answer is...yes.

However, and I don't know for sure, you might ask support if they can hard code this in for your config profile.

I am BYOD. I have configured my DNS servers to be the DNS servers that voipwelcome.com uses (hostgator: 67.18.54.31, 67.18.54.32). That way, if Voipo makes a change (say where sip.voipwelcome.com points to or another server), I get the updates as soon as they hit that domain's DNS server (instead of me having to wait for the TTL to expire on where ever the domain is cached along the way since it could take 24-48 hours depending for my ISP's DNS servers to update these entries). I asked Voipo if they cared what DNS servers we used and they said they did not. I can only recommend using their DNS servers; otherwise, you should use your ISP or OpenDNS (or your router if it's running a caching DNS server).

Why do you have DHCP set to YES if you want to set STATIC IP?

Edit: Tried it without success too. Info page shows NO DNS settings and no option provided for DNS entry. Admin Privileges probably required.

Sorry, I did have it at no when I was trying static IP, but I am running dynamic now (and was when I took the screen shot), and just reserving the IP in my router.

The PAP2T has a voice menu system built in through which you can set a static IP. You can get the user manual at http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/...PAP2T/download. Instructions start on page 8.

Basically, pressing '****' puts you into the menu system. From there you enter a numeric code for the option you want (see below). Finish your entries with the '#' key. Use a single '*' for the period in IP addresses.

'101#' change DHCP
'111#' set static IP
'121#' set subnet
'131#' set gateway

Please see the user manual for more detailed instructions.

I hear "Invalid option" when I try to enter 111#
