You can now establish VoIP connections within Gigaset.net (page 40).
Making settings for VoIP telephony
Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to phone any other numbers on the Internet, the
fixed line network or the mobile phone network, you need the services of a VoIP provider
who supports the VoIP SIP standard.
Precondition: You have registered with such a VoIP provider (e.g. via your PC) and set up
at least one VoIP account.
The following phone settings are necessary in order for you to use VoIP. You can obtain the
following information from your VoIP provider:
u Your user name with the VoIP provider, if this is required by the VoIP provider
u Your registration name
u Your password with the VoIP provider
u VoIP provider general settings
The connection assistant will help you with the settings.
Starting the connection assistant
Precondition: The base station is connected to the mains power supply and a router. Your
router is connected to the Internet (page 17).
Tip: Leave VoIP activated as the default connection for your telephone (default setting,
page 105). The telephone then attempts to establish a connection directly to your VoIP pro-
vider's server after the connection assistant is closed. If incorrect/incomplete information
means that the connection cannot be established, messages will be displayed (page 21).
As soon as the handset battery is sufficiently charged, the message key f on the handset
will flash (approx. 20 minutes after you have put the handset in the charging cradle). Press
the message key f to start the connection assistant.
Automatic configuration:
If your provider supports "automatic configuration", you will receive an "auto configuration code"
from your provider instead of an authentication name and password.
You will need to set the VoIP configuration with the auto-configuration code via the Web configurator
on the base station (see page 113 "Connect the PC with the telephone's Web configurator" and
page 122 "Configuring the VoIP connection")
Please note:
Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assignment of the IP address. In order for your router to "rec-
ognise" the phone, dynamic IP address assignment must also be activated on the router, i.e. the
router's DHCP server is activated. Turn to page 109 to find out how to assign your phone a static IP
address if necessary.
