First steps
Setting up the phone – installation wizard
The procedure below requires that your phone is automatically assigned an IP
address by the router (i.e. DHCP is enabled on router and phone).
In exceptional cases (e.g. if DHCP is not enabled on the router), you will have
to assign a static IP address to the base for LAN access. You must enter this IP
address on the handset before carrying out the following steps (
In order to be able to make calls with your telephone over the Internet, you must
configure at least one VoIP connection on your telephone. You can configure VoIP
connections using the following methods:
u Using a web-browser on your PC to access the telephone web configurator.
Instructions for configuring the first VoIP connection using the web configurator
can be found in the quick guide that comes with the device.
u Using your telephone's installation assistance on a connected Gigaset handset.
This method is described below using the Gigaset C59H handset as an example.
Configuration is the same for Gigaset C610H, SL78H, SL400H, S79H or S810H.
Auto configuration:
The configuration process for VoIP connections is automated for some VoIP providers. The provider creates a configuration file with all required VoIP access data
(the general VoIP provider data and your personal account data). This file is placed
on a configuration server on the Internet for downloading to your phone.
Your provider gives you a configuration code.

2. Connection wizard
The connection wizard enables you to assign previously configured connections
(fixed line connection, Gigaset.net and VoIP connections,
¢ page 45 and
¢ page 17) to internal parties as receive and, if applicable, as send connections.
Internal parties are the registered handsets and (for Gigaset N300A IP) the base
answering machine.
u Receive connections are the phone numbers (connections) on which you can
be called. Incoming calls are only forwarded to the internal parties (end devices)
for which the relevant connection is assigned as receive connection.
u Send connections are the numbers that are sent to the called party. The net-
work provider calculates charges based on the send connections. You can assign
each internal party a number or the associated connection as a send connection.
u Each connection (number) of your phone can be both a send as well as a receive
connection. You can assign each connection to several internal parties as send
and/or receive connection. It may only be assigned to one answering machine
as a receive connection.
Default assignment
All configured connections are assigned as receive connections to the handsets
and the local answering machine 1 for the Gigaset N300A IP at registration/startup.

Making calls
You can make calls on a Gigaset handset connected to your base.
Please note
You can make up to three external calls at the same time via your base, depending on the quality of your DSL connection.
Making an external call
External calls are calls made via the public telephone network (fixed line, mobile
phone network) or via the Internet (VoIP).
To make an external call, you need to define one of the phone connections as a
send connection. You have the following options:
u Assign a connection to the handset as a send connection permanently
¢ page 127).
(
You can use a "fallback" via a display key (
u Select a send connection on the handset each time you make a call.
Permanently assigned send connection
Prerequisite:
A specific connection (fixed line or VoIP connection) is assigned to the handset as a
send connection (
~c Enter the number and press the talk key. The number is dialled.
Or:
cPress and hold. A list of your phone's connections will be displayed.
qSelect a connection.
§Dial§/wPress the display key or the middle of the control key.
~Enter the number. The number is dialled approximately 3.5 seconds
Instead of the talk key c, you can also press the speaker key d on the handset
to make a call in speaker mode.
In this user guide, each of these variants is indicated by "Press the talk key c".
The dialled number and the send connection used are shown in the display (e.g.,
via IP2). The connection name you have assigned is displayed where available. Otherwise, the standard name is used.
¢ page 127).
after the last digit is entered.
Making calls
¢ page 120).
37
Page 39
Making calls
Please note
u If a dialling plan has been defined for the dialled phone number
¢ page 152), then the connection specified in the dialling plan will be
(
used to establish the connection instead of the send connection. If the
phone number is blocked by a dialling plan, it will not be dialled. Not possi-ble is displayed.
u If you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed line, you may also have to dial the
area code for local calls (depending on the provider). You can avoid having
to dial your own area code by entering it in the configuration and activating
the Predial area code for local calls via VoIP option (see Web configurator).
u You have activated the Automatic Fallback to Fixed Line option with the
Web configurator. If an attempt to make a call via a VoIP connection fails, the
phone automatically attempts to establish the connection via the fixed line.
u Gigaset.net numbers ending with the suffix #9 are automatically dialled via
the Gigaset.net connection. The calls are free of charge (
¢ page 45).
Selecting a connection at each call

connection (

Please note
u You can cancel the dialling process with the end call key a.
u You are shown the duration of the call while the call is in progress.
u Dialling using the directories or the handset's call and redial lists saves you
retyping numbers.
u If you have multiple handsets registered to the base, you can make internal
calls free of charge (page 115).

Using an alternative connection/connection list on the display key
Prerequisite: You have assigned an "alternative connection" or the list with all con-
figured connections to a display key on the handset (
§Sel. Line§ Press the display key.
qSelect a connection.
c/§Dial§ Press the talk key or display key.
~ Enter a number. The number is dialled approximately 3.5 seconds after
the last digit is entered.
Any dialling plan (
ber is ignored. The selected send connection is always used.
¢ page 152) that has been defined for the dialled phone num-
¢ page 120).
Calling 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).
If your VoIP provider does not support the dialling of IP addresses, each part of the
address will be interpreted as a normal phone number.
Dialling emergency numbers
Dialling plans for emergency numbers (e.g., the local police emergency number)
are preset on the phone for certain countries. Emergency calls are then always
made via the fixed line.
However, you can change the connection through which each emergency number
should be called (e.g., if the phone is not connected to the fixed line). You must
make sure, however, that the VoIP provider for the selected connection supports
emergency numbers. If the VoIP connection is deleted from the configuration, the
emergency call can no longer be made.
If no dialling plans for emergency numbers are preset on your telephone, you
should set dialling plans yourself. Assign them to a connection that you know supports emergency numbers. Calls to emergency numbers are always supported by
fixed lines.
Please note: If no dialling plans are defined for emergency numbers and you have
programmed an automatic local area code, the code will also be prefixed to emergency numbers as soon as they are dialled via a VoIP connection.

Making calls
Displaying the phone number you are calling (COLP)
Prerequisites:
u Your network provider supports COLP (Connected Line Identification Presenta-
tion). You may need to activate COLP with the provider (ask your provider about
this).
u The called party has not activated COLR (Connected Line Identification Restric-
tion).
For outgoing calls, the phone number of the connection on which the call is
received is displayed on the handset.
The displayed number may differ from the number you have dialled. Examples:
u The called party has activated call divert.
u The call is answered by another connection within a PABX system.
If there is an entry in the directory for this phone number, the corresponding name
will be displayed.
Please note
u The actual number of the connection you have reached (or the assigned
name) is displayed instead of the called number during call swapping, conference calls and consultation calls.
u When the phone number is copied to the directory and the redial list, the
dialled number (not the displayed number) is copied.
Ending a call
aPress the end call key.

Accepting a call
An incoming call is indicated on a Gigaset handset in three ways: by ringing, by a
display on the screen and by the flashing speaker key d.
Please note
Only calls to the receive connections assigned to the handset are signalled
¢ page 128).
(
The following applies in particular if VoIP connections are configured on your
base:
u If you have not assigned the receive connections on your phone, all incom-
ing calls are signalled on all registered handsets.
u If you have assigned connections but not assigned a connection to any
handset or answering machine as the receive connection, calls on this connection will not be signalled.
Gigaset N300A IP: If the number is only assigned to an answering machine,
calls will not be signalled. If the answering machine is switched on, it will
accept the call.
u If a call cannot be assigned to any connection on the phone, this call is sig-
nalled on all handsets.
You can accept the call on the handset by:
¤ Pressing the talk key c.
¤ Pressing the speaker key d.
¤ Gigaset N300A IP: If the receive connection is assigned to an answering machine
and that answering machine is not busy with another call:

Calling Line Identification
When you receive a call, the caller's number is displayed on the screen if the following prerequisites are met:
u Your network provider supports CLIP, CLI.
– CLI (Calling Line Identification): The caller's number is transmitted.
– CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation): The caller's number is dis-
played.
u You have requested CLIP from your network provider.
u The caller has arranged CLI with the network provider.
Call display
If the caller's number is in the handset's directory, the caller's name will be shown.
You can use the display to decide which receive connection the call is directed to.
Example of display:
42
Or:
1 Number or name of caller
2 Receive connection: Indicates which of your phone numbers the caller has dialled. The
name you set when configuring the phone or the default name is displayed (Fixed Line or
IP1 to IP6). For calls from Gigaset.net, for Gigaset.net is displayed.
The following is displayed instead of the number:
u External, if no number is transmitted.
u Withheld, if the caller has withheld Calling Line Identification (page 47).
u Unavailable, if the caller has not arranged Calling Line Identification.

Making calls
Adopting the name from the online directory
Instead of the phone number appearing in the call display, you can display the
name under which the caller is saved in the online directory.
Prerequisites:
u The provider of the online directory you have set for your telephone supports
this function.
u You have activated the "display caller name" function via the Web configurator.
u The caller has authorised Calling Line Identification and has not suppressed the
function.
u Your telephone is connected to the Internet.
u The caller's number is not saved in the handset's local directory.

Notes on calling line display (CLIP)
The number of the caller is shown in the display of your Gigaset phone handset by
default. You do not have to make any other settings on your Gigaset telephone.
However, if the caller's number is not displayed, this can be due to the
following:
u You have not requested CLIP from your provider
u Your telephone is connected via a PABX or a router with an integrated PABX
(gateway) that does not transmit all information.
Is your telephone connected via a PABX/gateway?
You can establish this by checking for an additional device connected between
your telephone and home connection e.g., a PABX, gateway etc. In most cases, simply resetting this device will remedy the situation:
¤ Briefly disconnect the PABX power plug. Re-insert the plug and wait for the
device to restart.
If the caller number is still not displayed:
¤ Check the CLIP settings of your PABX and activate this function if necessary. In
the user guide for the device, search for the term "CLIP" (or an alternative term
such as "calling line identification", "phone number transmission", "caller ID"
etc.). If necessary, contact the device manufacturer.
If this does not resolve the problem, it is possible that your network provider does
not provide the CLIP service for this number.
44
Have you ordered the calling line display service from your network
provider?
¤ Check whether your provider supports calling line display (CLIP) and that the
function has been activated for you. If necessary, contact your provider.

or the date of birth for the biorhythm. You can delete this configuration data
again at any time.
The information services use the HTTP protocol.
Further information about the Gigaset.net service data saved can be found at
