Gigaset A580 IP – more than just making calls
You can use your phone to make calls and send and receive SMS messages both via
the fixed line network and also (cheaply) via the Internet (VoIP) without a PC. – Your
phone can do much more besides:
u Make calls with brilliant sound quality (High Definition Sound Performance
HDSP,
£ Page 9) – for internal calls or calls via VoIP.
u Press a button each time you make a call to indicate whether you want to call
via the fixed line network or the Internet (
£ Page 39).
u Register up to six handsets on your base station. With your base station, you can
simultaneously conduct two calls via VoIP and one call via the fixed line network.
u Multiline: Create up to six VoIP accounts with different VoIP providers. Together
with your fixed line number and the Gigaset.net number, your phone can then
be reached via up to eight different phone numbers.
u Assign each handset its own VoIP number as a send and receive number. If a
member of your family is called on their VoIP number, only their handset will
ring (
£ Page 137).
u You can also use the VoIP accounts with different providers for cost control pur-
poses. When dialling, specify the VoIP connection/the VoIP account you want to
use for its lower rates (
£ Page 39).
u Setting dialling plans for phone numbers or area codes enables you to automate
the selection of the cheapest VoIP account (
£ Page 140).
u Use Gigaset.net for VoIP calls. Connect your phone to the mains power supply
and the Internet, and enjoy free phone calls on Gigaset.net – without making
any further settings (
£ Page 48).
u Configure the phone connection for VoIP without a PC. Your phone's connection
assistant downloads general data about your VoIP provider from the Internet
and guides you through entering your personal data (VoIP/SIP account). This
makes it easy for you to start using VoIP (
£ Page 21).
u If necessary, make any further VoIP settings on a PC. The phone features a Web
interface (Web configurator) that can be accessed via your PC's Web browser
(
£ Page 110).
u Make sure your phone is always up-to-date. Keep yourself informed about
firmware updates on the Internet and download them onto your phone
(
£ Page 101).
u You can reduce the transmission power by activating Eco mode (£ Page 81).
Have fun using your new phone!
Your Gigaset A580 IP has a protected operating system that offers increased secu-
rity against viruses from the Internet.
