Figure 1-7 LAN Port Setting (Mode Selection)
•DHCP – This mode should be selected If the network device functions as a DHCP host, This
allows the HT-812P to obtain all related network information / settings from the DHCP host.
•Static IP – This mode sets the LAN port IP manually which can either be a public or private
IP. Other network settings (Subnet Mask, Default Route, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS)
should also be entered accordingly.
Figure 1-8 LAN Port Setting (Static IP)
•PPPoE – This selection is intended for broadband connection (ADSL / Cable modem) that
requires dial up / authentication using PPPoE protocol. Both User Name and Password
are required. Please consult your service provider for more information if needed. One
advantage with the PPPoE dial up is that the IP address obtained for the LAN port is
normally a public IP.

More advanced parameters for 802.1q VLAN and MAC settings are available. Please consult
your network administrator for assistance if needed.
PC PORT
The PC port is intended to provide an Ethernet connection to other network devices (for
example: PC, network HUB.). Two modes of operation are available:
1. Bridge mode - This mode allows the network traffics at the PC port to be bypassed to LAN
port. This means that the network device share the same network segment as the LAN
port. There is no IP address assigned to the PC port.
2. Fixed IP - This mode sets the PC port IP Address (private IP) and Subnet Mask manually.
This creates a new network segment for the network devices connected to the PC Port.
Figure 1-10 PC Port (Fixed IP)
To simplify network IP assignments, enable the DHCP Server for the PC Port. This allows
network devices connected Port to obtain network IP and related information from the PC
Port. Please consult your network administrator for proper settings of the DHCP Server

1. Single Server Mode – This mode allows SIP registrations to only one SIP Server / Proxy;
however, it can support up to 4 registrations of different SIP numbers and names (referred
as “Contact” in the webpage). A backup server option is available and it will be used once
registration to the primary server fails. Line 1 to Line 4 keys are predefined for the
“Contact1”, “Contact2”, “Contact3”, and “Contact4” respectively. This allows the user to
specify which identity (Contact: SIP number and name) will be used for the call. The default
is to use the contact information for Line1 (“Contact1”). Below shows the webpage for
Single Server Mode.
Figure 1-12 Single SIP Server Mode
2. Multiple Server Mode – This mode allows up to 4 SIP registrations to up to 4 different SIP
servers / proxies as shown below. Each registration is referred as a “Profile”. Line 1 to
Line 4 keys are predefined for Profile 1 to 4 respectively. If a “Profile” is not defined, the
corresponding Line key is disabled. If a call is made without pressing a Line key, the
default line to be used is Line 1 (Profile 1). Below shows the webpage for Multiple
Server Mode.
