Before you can start using the VoiceGear SkyBridge gateway it must be configured correctly to access
your network. All VoiceGear SkyBridge gateways come pre‐configured to use DHCP in order to obtain
network IP. It is recommended to configure the gateway to use a static IP whenever possible. In case
your DHCP server is configured to lease IP addresses infinitely, you can skip the static IP assignment and
simply use the automatically assigned IP since it will not change when the gateway is restarted.
4. To assign a static IP to your gateway, please follow the steps below:
a. Select the “Change IP” option to bring up network settings screen.

b. Select “No” when prompted to “Configure with DHCP?” in the next screen.
c. Enter your static IP settings, net mask and gateway addresses when prompted in follow up
screens.
d. Check your settings and select “Yes” when asked to “Please confirm your information” in the
final screen.
e. Once you have updated your static IP settings, the VoiceGear SkyBridge gateway will
automatically restart all networking services.
f. When networking restarts you will be taken back to the main network settings screen.
g. Select “Change Hostname and DNS” option to setup hostname, domain and DNS settings.
h. Update all settings as necessary and select “Close” to dismiss this setup screen.
i. Select “Configuration finished” option from the main network settings screen ‐ this will take you
back to the main VoiceGear SkyBridge terminal console screen. Select “Reboot and shutdown”
