Selecting and dialling a connection via its line suffix
You can configure up to six VoIP numbers on your phone in addition to the fixed
line network number and the Gigaset.net number. A (line) suffix is assigned to each
number (line) of your phone:
u the fixed line network number has the suffix #0
u VoIP numbers have the suffixes #1 to #6 (£Page 122)
u and the Gigaset.net number has the suffix #9
When dialling, you can use this line suffix to specify the connection via which you
would like to call or be charged.
~ Enter the number of the party you wish to call.
~ Add the suffix of the connection (your phone number) from which the
call is to be made and charged to.
c Press the talk key.
The connection is always made via the line with the assigned suffix, regardless of
whether you press the talk key c briefly or press and hold.
Entering an IP address (provider-dependent)
You can also dial an IP address instead of a phone number using VoIP.
¤ Press the star key * to separate the sections of the IP address
(e.g. 149*246*122*28).
¤ If necessary press the hash #key to attach the SIP port number of the person
you are calling to the IP address (e.g. 149*246*122*28#5060).
You cannot dial IP addresses using a line suffix.
If your VoIP provider does not support the choice of IP addresses, each part of the
address will be interpreted as a normal phone number.
Example
If you enter the number 1234567890#1 and press the talk key c, the number
1234567890 will be dialled via the first VoIP connection in the configuration.
Please note
u If you specify a suffix for which no VoIP connection is configured in your base
station, the VoIP status code 0x33 will be displayed. The number will not be
dialled.
u You have activated the Automatic Fallback to Fixed Line option with the Web
configurator (
£ Page 136):
If the attempt to establish a connection via VoIP fails, an attempt is made auto-
matically to establish the connection via the fixed line network.
