• optiPoint 410 standard (CorNet IP)
• optiPoint 410 advance (CorNet IP)
• optiPoint 420 standard (CorNet IP)
• optiPoint 420 advance (CorNet IP)

You can also run the optiPoint application module on optiPoint 500 telephones, but these do not support the Java function.

• To optimize browser-based administration:
  • You should know the IP address of the optiPoint telephone with the optiPoint application module module you wish to configure.

You can also connect a PC (e.g. laptop) directly to one of the telephones listed above using a LAN cable ( socket on the underside of the telephone).

See References to find out where you can obtain additional information on the different topics.
