your IT department and click the “Save Config”
button.

already been configured into the network to get
through any firewall(s).

any changes to the MC4000 system before logging
out.
IF YOUR NETWORK USES DHCP
1. Check the “Enable DHCP” box.
2. Click “Save Config” box (it will take several
seconds before you receive a message that you are
now offline. At this point the unit is now running in
DHCP mode).
3. Change your computer system’s IP address back to
their previous settings from Note 1.
4. Type CB4000 in the browser’s URL address bar to
access the CB4000.
NOTE 1: Record your computer’s current IP settings
BEFORE making any changes. You will need to reset
back to these original settings once you’ve assigned an
IP address to the CB4000.
NOTE 2: If you need to get back to the CB4000 default
IP setting simply hold the reset button next to the phone
jack for 5+ seconds, then release.
