First steps
Installing the base station
The base is designed for use in dry rooms in a temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.
¤ Set up the base at a central point in the building.
Please note
Pay attention to the range of the base. This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside buildings. The range is reduced when Eco
Mode is activated (
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to the
multitude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings, the
occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
Warning
u Never expose the telephone to any of the following: heat sources, direct sun-
light or other electrical appliances.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.

3. Connecting the base with a router (Internet)
Data protection notice
When the device is connected to the router, it automatically contacts the
Gigaset support server to make it easier for you to configure the devices and to
enable communication with the Internet services.
For this purpose, every device sends the following device-specific information
once every day:
u Serial number/item number
u MAC address
u Private IP address for the Gigaset in the LAN/its port numbers
u Device name
u Software version
On the support server, this information is linked to the existing device-specific
information:
u Gigaset.net phone number
u System-related/device-specific passwords
Further information about the Gigaset.net service data saved can be found at
www.gigaset.net/privacy-policy
Your base features a LAN connection that you can use to connect the base to a
router.
Connection to a router is required for Internet telephony VoIP (Voice over Internet
Protocol). You can set up and configure up to six accounts (VoIP phone numbers)
from one or more VoIP provider(s) on the phone.
You also need a connection to the router for the following features on your phone:
u You want to be notified as soon as new software is available for your phone on
the Internet.
u You want the date and time on your phone to be updated by a time server on
the Internet.
u You want to use info services and/or online directories on your phone.
You can also connect a PC to the router if you want to set your phone via its Web
configurator.
For Internet access you need a router connected to the Internet via a modem (this
may be integrated in the router).

of the base
Please note
For telephony via the Internet, you need a broadband Internet connection (e.g.,
DSL) with flat rate (recommended) or volume rate and a router that connects
your phone to the Internet. You can find a list of recommended routers on the
Internet at:
www.gigaset.com/service
From here, go to the FAQ page and select your Gigaset IP telephone. Search for
"Router", for example.
1 Insert a plug from the Ethernet cable supplied (Cat 5 with 2 RJ45 Western mod-
ular plugs) into the LAN connection socket at the side of the base.
2 Then insert the second Ethernet cable plug into a LAN socket on the router.
As soon as the cable connecting the phone and router is plugged in and
the router is switched on, the key lights up on the front of the base
(paging key).
As soon as a handset is registered with the base, you can create VoIP
connections within Gigaset.net (

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.

The configuration file is only transferred via a secure connection (TLS authentication). If the TLS authentication fails, the message key f flashes. Press the message key to display the Certificate error - Please check your certificates in the
Web configurator. message. Press the right display key to confirm the message.
Log in to the Web configurator (
The Security (¢page 150) Web page tells you why the secure connection could
not be established and what you can do.
If the configuration file fails to download (e.g., because the configuration server is
not available), the phone keeps trying to establish a connection until the file is
downloaded successfully to the phone.

You will see the following display:
First steps
Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to phone any other numbers on the Internet,
the fixed line or the mobile network, you need the services of a VoIP provider who
supports the VoIP SIP standard.
Prerequisite: You have registered with a VoIP provider (e.g., via your PC) and set up
at least one VoIP account (IP account).
To use VoIP, you now need to enter the access data for your VoIP account. You will
receive all the necessary data from your VoIP provider. This will include:
Either:
u Your user name (if requested by the VoIP provider).
This is the user name of your IP account (caller ID), frequently identical to your
phone number.
u Your authentication name or login ID
u The (login) password registered with the VoIP provider
u General settings for your VoIP provider (server addresses etc.)
Or:
u An auto configuration code (activation code)
Your Gigaset phone's IP wizard can help you make these entries.

2. Connection wizard
The connection wizard enables you to assign previously configured connections
(fixed line connection, Gigaset.net and VoIP connections,
¢ page 45 and

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

Some e-mail providers allow you to deactivate spam protection or show spam
e-mails in the incoming mail list.
Other e-mail providers may send a message to the inbox when a new spam email is received. This is to inform you that a suspected spam e-mail has been

Data protection notice
The information services enable you to use a Gigaset telephone to call up
selected information, such as weather forecasts.
The inventory data corresponds to that of the VoIP service.
When you use the service for the first time, a standard profile is created with
configuration data for the device. You can then change and store the configuration data specific to your device, for example, the city for the weather forecast
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
www.gigaset.net/privacy-policy
You can use your phone to retrieve online content from the Internet i.e., request
info services that are provided specifically for the telephone. The info services available are constantly updated. A default selection has already been made.
