WAN Configuration Type on the SPA 300 and 500 Series IP Phones

Objectives

WAN networks are used to connect to the internet. The SPA 300 and 500 series can be configured to either have a DHCP IP address or a static IP address. These settings should be changed depending on how you plan to use your IP phone. The static IP option is best if you need to access the phone via web interface frequently and the DHCP option is best if you want to use any web features.
