Saving messenger access data
The messenger client in your base station enables instant messaging (immediate mes-
sage transfer, chatting). The phone supports the XMPP messenger (Jabber).
In order for you to use your phone's messenger to "go online" and "chat" on the Internet,
the access data of a messenger server must be saved on your phone.
Your phone is already registered with the Gigaset.net Jabber server. An account has been
assigned to your phone. You can chat to other Gigaset.net subscribers via this account. To
do this you need to create a buddy list on the PC (see "Setting up Gigaset.net Jabber
account" on page 138).
You can also register with another instant messaging provider that supports XMPP Messen-
ger (Jabber). You must then save the messenger server address and your access data on
your phone.
You can define a Resource name and a Priority for your phone. Both are required if you are
logged in (online) with the messenger server with several devices (phone, desktop PC and
laptop) at the same time using the same Jabber ID.
The Resource name is used to distinguish between these devices. The phone cannot log in
with the messenger server if it does not have a resource name.
You should assign a Priority as each message will only be sent to one device for each Jabber
ID. The Priority determines which of the devices receives the message.
Example: You are online using one of your phone's handsets and your PC both at the same
time. You have assigned your phone (Resource name "phone") Priority 5 and your PC
(Resource name "PC") Priority 10. In this case, any message addressed to your Jabber ID will
be sent to your phone.
¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Messaging ¢ Messenger.
¤ In the Messenger Account field, select whether you wish to use the Gigaset.net Jabber
server or another provider's messenger server (Other).
The access data for Gigaset.net is already stored in the base station. It is displayed in Jab-
ber ID, Authentication password and Jabber server. With this data you can also register with
the Gigaset.net Jabber server through your PC.
¤ Enter the user ID (max. 50 characters) and password (max. 20 characters) that you used
to register with the messenger server in the Jabber ID and Authentication password fields.
If you have selected Messenger Account = Gigaset.net, the fields are preconfigured with
your Gigaset.net account.
¤ In the Jabber server field, enter the IP address or the DNS name of the messenger server
with which you are registered for instant messaging.
Max. 74 alphanumeric characters.
If you have selected Messenger Account = Gigaset.net, the field is preconfigured with the
name of the Gigaset.net server.
¤ Enter the number of the communication port on the Jabber server in the Jabber server
port field. The default port is 5222.
If you have selected Messenger Account = Gigaset.net, the port number is preconfigured.
¤ Enter a resource name (max. 20 characters) in the Resource field.
The default is: phone.
