Setting the Network  
11.3  
When the media phone is connected to a network, you can set the network type and the  
access mode based on your requirement.  
The network settings are associated with the authentication of the media  
phone. Therefore, do not change the settings if not required. Otherwise, you  
may not be able to use the services properly.  
The media phone supports the following network types:  
z
When you use the network cable to access a broadband network, select Ethernet.  
z
When you use Wi-Fi to access a broadband network, select Wi-Fi.  
The Wi-Fi type is classified into two modes:  
z
Basic mode: The access point is selected by searching in the wireless network.  
z
Point-to-point mode: The access point is selected by entering the SSID.  
If you want to set a WEP key for the access point, you need to tap  
Advanced, and then Set WEP Key, to set the WEP key. The WEP key  
must be same as the parameters of the access point, or you will fail to  
access the Wi-Fi.  
Each network type supports the following three access modes:  
z
Static IP: In this mode, set a fixed IP address for the media phone based on the IP  
address of the access gateway. As the gateway support the routing function, no  
dial-up connection is required for network access.  
z
Advantage: The IP address of the media phone is fixed and thus maintenance is  
easy.  
z
Disadvantage: When the gateway settings are changed, you need to reset the  
network parameters of the media phone.  
z
DHCP: The access gateway assigns an IP address automatically to the media phone.  
To access the network, the gateway needs to activate the DHCP service and support  
the routing function. No dial-up connection is required for network access.  
z
Advantages: The operations are easy and the network parameters of the media  
phone do not need to be reset when the gateway setting is changed.  
z
Disadvantage: The IP address of the media phone is not fixed.  
49  
 
HUAWEI MC850/MC851 Media Phone User Guide  
11 User Settings  
z
PPPoE: When the access gateway is in bridge mode, a dial-up connection is  
required. Therefore, when you use this mode, you need to contact your service  
provider for the account and password of the dial-up connection.  
z
Advantage: The broadband network is exclusively occupied by the media phone,  
and thus the bandwidth is stable.

12 Handset Registration  
The MC850 provides a digital cordless handset. Though the MC851 does not provide a

using the cordless handset, you need to register it with the base unit.  
Registering a Cordless Handset  
12.1  
You can register up to five cordless handsets to your base unit. The media phone  
assigns a number to each handset according to the registration order of the handsets. For  
example, the number assigned to the first handset that is registered is 1, and the number  
1 is displayed on the LCD of that handset. The registration code is 1590.  
The registration code cannot be changed. Ensure that you store the  
registration code properly as only those who have access to the code can  
register a handset.  
To register a handset, do as follows:  
Step 1 Access the handset registration menu as follows:  
1. In standby mode, press MENU to display the main menu.  
2. Press  
repeatedly to select Handset on the screen, and then select  
Select.

Step 3 Perform the registration operations on the handset as follows:  
1. Press the up or down navigation key to select the number of the base unit  
with which you want the handset to register, and then select Select. If  
there is only one base unit, select base number 1. If searching for a base

3. Enter the registration code 1590, and then select Select.  
If the registration is successful, the handset will return to the standby mode and the  
handset number (for example, 1) will be displayed on the LCD of the handset.  
A handset can be registered with up to four base units. A base unit can be
