Introduction
u Gigaset handsets
– Up to 100 handsets can be connected and 30 DECT connections can be made
simultaneously (calls, eMail checks, connections to online directories and the Info
Centre).
The following handsets are recommended: Gigaset SL610H PRO, SL400H, S810H,
E49H.
Further information relating to the functions of the handsets in connection with
the Gigaset base stations can be found in the Accessories section (
and on the Service page at www.gigaset.com/pro/gigasetn720
– Subscribers can accept or initiate calls in all DECT cells with their handset
(Roaming), and can also switch between the DECT cells during a call (Handover).
A handover is only possible within the same cluster.
Configuring handsets
The functions of a handset on a Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell System are described
in this document using the example of the Gigaset SL610H PRO handset. Detailed
information about this handset and other approved Gigaset handsets can be found in
the relevant user guide. These are provided on the product CD or on the Internet at
www.gigaset.com
u PAB X
You can connect your DECT telephone system to a PABX for VoIP, ISDN or analogue
telephony, e.g.,
– A Gigaset T500 PRO or T300 PRO
– A PABX from another manufacturer
– A PABX over the Internet (hosted PBX)
The PABX
– Establishes the connection to a public telephone network
– Enables central management of telephone connections, directories, network
mailboxes
u Forming clusters with the Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell System
You can divide DECT base stations that you have installed at your location into several
independent groups, i.e., clusters, and manage them using one Gigaset N720 DM PRO
DECT Manager (
This means DECT domains that are a long way apart can be managed from a central
point. The DECT Manager is connected to the base stations and the PABX via the local
network and is therefore not dependent on DECT ranges. It guarantees access to the
centrally configured IP connections, directories etc. However, a handover of handsets
between clusters is not possible.

Introduction
Planning your DECT wireless network
Careful planning of your DECT wireless network is the prerequisite for successful
operation of the Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell System with good call quality and
adequate call options for all subscribers in all the buildings and areas belonging to the
PABX. When deciding how many base stations are needed, and where these should be
positioned, both the requirements for the capacity of the PABX and its wireless coverage,
as well as many ambient conditions, must be taken into consideration.
The "Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell System - Site Planning and Measurement Guide"
provided on the enclosed product CD will make it easier for you to plan your multicell
DECT network, explain the necessary preparatory work for the installation and describe
how to carry out measurements in order to find the best positions for your base stations.
Please read these instructions before starting installation.
Gigaset also offers the Gigaset N720 SPK PRO (Site Planning Kit) to help you measure the
wireless coverage and signal quality on your DECT network. Information about setting up
and using the Gigaset measuring equipment can also be found in the "Gigaset N720 DECT
IP Multicell System - Site Planning and Measurement Guide".

the device to your local network via a switch/hub or directly with a router. A VoIP PABX is
required for Internet telephony. This must be accessible via the local network and must
have network access (to the Internet and/or the analogue or ISDN telephone network).
Otherwise it will only be possible to make calls within the LAN.
You also need a PC connected to the local network, so that you can configure your
telephone system via the Web configurator.
Caution
Each base station contains two DECT modules with their own MAC address, which are
connected to a LAN port via an integral Ethernet switch.
To prevent security warnings, you will need to allow MAC address cascading on your
corporate network.

Preparing to use the telephone system
To start using your Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell System, you must now perform the
following steps:
u Register base stations to the telephone system and synchronise them
u Register handsets to the telephone system, configure and assign VoIP accounts
Registering base stations to the DECT Manager
Before starting to register the base stations, please ensure that you have the installation
plans available, which you created during the planning phase of your DECT network.
You need the MAC address of the installed base stations and the following planning data:
u Name, location
You can select any name for the base station. This should contain its location, to enable
the relevant Gigaset N720 IP PRO to be found quickly for maintenance purposes.
u Synchronisation level
Base stations that combine to form a DECT wireless network must synchronise with
one another to ensure a smooth transition of the handsets from cell to cell (handover).
As a base station in a multicell DECT network often has an inadequate connection to
some of the other base stations, you must set up a synchronisation hierarchy.
Detailed information about synchronisation planning can be found in "Gigaset N720
DECT IP Multicell System - Site Planning and Measurement Guide".
u Cluster structure
Groups of base stations that are a long way apart must be assigned to different
clusters.
First steps
Please note
Synchronisation always refers to a cluster. You can set up several clusters that are not
synchronised with one another, so there is no possibility of a handover between
clusters.
To register the base stations, set up clusters and define the synchronisation hierarchy,
please use the Web configurator on the DECT Manager. This is described in Section
Configuring the system on the DECT Manager (
£ page 58).

page (
The window shows a list of all DECT base stations connected to the local network
which have not yet been registered. The base stations are identified by their MAC
address and by the date and time of their initial contact with the system.
¤ Register all the base stations that are to belong to your telephone system, as described
in section "Registering base stations".
Synchronising base stations and forming clusters
¤ Open the Preferences ¢ Network and connectors ¢ Base station synchronisation
£ page 70).
page (
The registered base stations are displayed.
¤ Assign each base station to a cluster.
If you only want to manage one cluster, assign all the base stations to the same cluster
number.
¤ Assign the planned synchronisation level to each base station.
Be aware that synchronisation level one can only be assigned once.
¤ Save your settings.
Synchronisation starts automatically. If synchronisation is successful, this is indicated by
the DECT 1 / DECT 2 LEDs on the Gigaset N720 IP PRO base stations (
£ page 23).
Registering handsets and assigning VoIP accounts
All the handsets to be used for making calls on the Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell System
must be registered on the DECT Manager. When registering, the handset is permanently
assigned a VoIP connection as the receive and send connection.
Up to 100 handsets can be connected.
The following handsets are recommended: Gigaset SL610H PRO, SL400H, S810H, E49H.
Further information relating to the functions of the handsets in connection with the
Gigaset base stations can be found in the Accessories section (
Service page at www.gigaset.com/pro/gigasetn720

£ page 123) and on the
Page 19
First steps
Setting up VoIP connections
Before you start registering the handsets, please make sure that there are sufficient
accounts available from your local VoIP PABX or from a VoIP provider, and that you have the
login data to hand. You can set up accounts from a maximum of ten different providers.
First configure the VoIP connections.
¤ Log in to the Web configurator (£ page 59).
¤ Open the Settings ¢ VoIP providers page and create an entry for each provider
£ page 73).
(
Registering the handset
Handset registration must be initiated in parallel on the DECT Manager (a) and on the
handset (b). To do so, the handset must be located in at least one cell of the DECT
network, i.e., close to a base station which is registered on the DECT Manager.
a) On the DECT Manager
¤ Open the Web configurator and log in (£ page 59).
¤ Open the Settings ¢ Handsets (£ page 75) page and press the Add button. You can
decide whether you want to set up a handset with new data, or transfer the data from
a handset that has already been set up.
¤ Select the VoIP provider from the list and enter the login data for the account the
handset is to use to make calls.
¤ Start registering the handset for this account.
The DECT Manager is now ready for registering. A registration PIN is generated and
displayed.
b) On the handset
¤ Start the registration procedure on the handset in accordance with the handset's user
guide.
A message appears on the display stating that the handset is searching for a base that is
ready for registration.
If the handset has found a base, you will be asked to enter the registration PIN.
¤ Enter the four-digit registration PIN, produced on the DECT Manager, on the handset.
c) On the DECT Manager
¤ Confirm the message Registration successful. by clicking OK.
Once registration is complete, the handset returns to idle status. The handset name is
shown in the display. If not, repeat the procedure.
Please note
The handset name is either the Username or Display name for the VoIP account to
which the handset is assigned. You can set this in the Web configurator (
Immediately after registration, the handset is assigned the VoIP connection as the receive
and send connection (incoming calls are signalled on the handset and can be answered).
You can now make calls with the handset.

Making calls
You can make calls using any handset registered to your Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell
System. Prerequisite: You are located in the cell of at least one of the base stations
registered to the telephone system.
The cells of the base stations together form the DECT wireless network of the telephone
system. You can initiate or answer calls on a handset across the whole wireless network
and change cells during a call (handover). Prerequisite for handover: The base stations
involved must be assigned to the same cluster and must be synchronised (
Each handset is assigned a send and receive connection (£ page 76).
If your Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell System is connected to a PABX that permits the
formation of groups, VoIP connections can also be assigned to groups. In this case, you
will also receive calls on your handset that have been sent to your group number.
The Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell System uses a VoIP PABX or the services of a VoIP
provider for Internet telephony. The availability of some phone functions depends on
whether they are supported by the PABX/provider and whether they have been enabled.
If necessary, you can obtain a description of the services from the operator of your PABX.
Please note
Depending on the specifications of your PABX, you may need to dial an access code
for calls outside the area covered by your VoIP PABX (

u The PABX connected to the Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell System is not forwarding
all the information.
¤ Check the CLIP (phone number display) settings of your PABX and activate this
function if necessary. In the user manual for the device, search for the term "CLIP" (or
an alternative term such as "calling line identification", "phone number identification",
"caller ID" etc.). If necessary, contact the device manufacturer/supplier.

Date and time are set in the Web configurator of the DECT Manager (£ page 92) and are
synchronised system-wide on all base stations and Gigaset handsets.
Synchronisation is carried out in the following cases:
u If the date or time has been changed on the DECT Manager.
u If a handset is registered to the telephone system.
u If a handset is switched off and switched back on again, or is outside the wireless range
of the telephone system for more than 45 seconds and then comes back into range.
u Automatically every night at 4.00 am.
You can change the date and time on the handset. This setting only applies for that
handset and will be overwritten when the next synchronisation takes place.
The date and time are displayed in the format set for that handset.
Please note
The date and time can only be set locally on handsets which only support the simple
GAP standard. No synchronisation is carried out.

The IP address comprises four individual groups of numbers with decimal values from
0 to 255 that are separated by a dot, e.g., 192.168.2.1.
64
Page 65
Configuring the system on the DECT Manager
Please note:
– The IP address must be included in the address block used by the router/gateway
for the local network. The valid address block is defined by the IP address for the
router/gateway and the subnet mask (see example).
– The IP address must be unique across the network, which means that it must not be
used by another device connected to the router/gateway.
– The fixed IP address must not belong to the address block that is reserved for the
DHCP server for the router/gateway.
Check the settings on the router or ask your network administrator.
Example:
Router IP address: 192.168.2.1
Network subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DHCP server address block 192.168.2.101 – 192.168.2.254
Possible IP addresses for the DECT Manager 192.168.2.2 – 192.168.2.100
Subnet mask
The Subnet mask specifies how many parts of an IP address the network prefix must
comprise.
For example, 255.255.255.0 means that the first three parts of an IP address must be
the same for all devices in the network, while the last part is specific to each device. In
subnet mask 255.255.0.0, only the first two parts are reserved for the network prefix.
Enter the subnet mask that is used by your network.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address for the standard gateway through which the local network is
connected to the Internet. This is generally the local (private) IP address for your
router/gateway (e.g., 192.168.2.1). Your DECT Manager requires this information to be
able to access the Internet.
Preferred DNS server
Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. DNS (Domain Name System) allows
you to assign public IP addresses to symbolic names. The DNS server is required to
convert the DNS name into the IP address when a connection is being established to
a server.
You can specify the IP address for your router/gateway here. This forwards address
requests from the DECT Manager to its DNS server.
There is no default setting for a DNS server.
Alternate DNS server
Enter the IP address for the alternate DNS server that should be used in situations
where the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.
Device Name in the Network
The product name of the DECT Manager is displayed in this field. You can change this
name to identify the device in the network.
65

Configuring the system on the DECT Manager
Configuring a HTTP proxy
¤ Select whether you want to release a separate proxy server in the network for your
DECT Manager.
¤ If Ye s , enter the IP address for the proxy server in the Proxy server address field.
¤ The default setting for the Proxy server port is 80. Change this if your server uses
another port.
VLAN Tagging
A local network can be divided into logical subnetworks known as VLANs (VLAN = Virtual
Local Area Network, Standard IEEE 802.1Q). Multiple VLANs share a physical network and
its components, e.g., switches. Data packets from a VLAN are not forwarded to another
VLAN. VLANs are often used to separate the data traffic of different services (Internet
telephony, Internet TV etc.) and to define different priorities for the data traffic.
You can run your DECT Manager and a PC used to configure the DECT Manager on a
separate VLA N. In this case, you ente r the VLAN identifiers (VLAN tags) for your VLAN. Your
network operator will supply you with this data.
Caution
If you operate the PC in a different VLAN from the DECT Manager, you will no longer
have direct access to the Web configurator of the DECT Manager from the PC.
¤ Select Ye s if you do not want to use a VLAN (default setting No).
¤ Enter the VLAN identifier for your virtual network in the VLAN Identifier field.
Caution
If you enter an incorrect value for VLAN Identifier and save the settings, you will no
longer be able to access the DECT Manager from the PC used for configuration. If you
then reset the DECT Manager to a static or dynamic IP address, this will also disable the
VLAN tagging (see Resetting the IP configuration and password, page 24). You will
then need to reinstate the DECT Manager's access to the local network (
¤ Select VLAN Priority to transfer the PC data.
66
£ page 64).
Page 67
Configuring the system on the DECT Manager
Prioritising VLANs
Data packets from VLANs can be prioritised. The priority determines whether the data
traffic from a VLAN is given preferential treatment by the network components. You can
define the priority for voice and data separately. In the case of a local network with a lot
of data traffic, you can achieve better quality phone connections by giving a high priority
to voice data.
Range of values and assignment of values to service classes (according to IEEE 802.1p):
0 No priority (Best Effort)
1 Background services, e.g., news ticker (Background)
2 Not defined
3 General data services (Excellent Effort)
4 Control services, e.g., routing (Controlled Load)
5Video
6 Voice data (Voice)
7 Top priority for network control software (Network Control)
Saving settings
¤ Click on Set to save your settings on the IP Configuration page.
Configuring and synchronising base stations
The Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell System automatically recognises the base stations,
but they need to be confirmed, activated and synchronised.
To do this you will need a list of all base stations, each with the MAC address of a DECT
module and the location in the building or a unique name for the cell. You will find the
MAC addresses for the DECT modules on the sticker attached to each respective Gigaset
N720 IP PRO base station.
Registering base stations
Settings ¢ Network and connectors ¢ Base station registration
The window shows a list of all DECT base stations connected to the network which have

Security settings
The DECT Manager supports the establishment of secure data connections on the Internet
with the TLS security protocol (Transport Layer Security). With TLS, the client (the phone)
uses certificates to identify the server. These certificates must be stored on the base.
You can also set the Remote Management function on this page.
Settings
¢ Network and connectors¢ Security Settings
This page contains the Server Certificates and CA Certificates lists. These show the
certificates stored in the DECT Manager. The certificates have either already been saved

71
Page 72
Configuring the system on the DECT Manager
The Invalid Certificates list contains the certificates received from servers that have not
passed the certificate check when establishing a connection, and certificates from the
Server Certificates/CA Certificates lists that have become invalid (e.g., because they have
expired).
You can remove certificates and download new certificates to the DECT Manager and you
can also accept or reject invalid certificates.
If the connection to a data server on the Internet is not made because the phone does not
accept the certificate received from the server (e.g., when downloading your eMail
messages from the POP3 server), you will be prompted to open the security settings Web
page.
The Invalid Certificates list contains the certificate used to make the connection. You can
display information on the certificate by highlighting it and clicking on the Details
button. This information includes who issued the certificate (certification authority) and
for whom, as well as its validity period.
You must use the information to decide whether to accept or reject the certificate.
If you accept the certificate, depending on its type, it is transferred to one of the Server
Certificates/CA Certificates lists (even if it has already expired). If a server responds again
with this certificate, this connection is accepted immediately.
If you decline the certificate, it is transferred to the Server Certificates list with the label
Reject. If a server responds again with this certificate, this connection is rejected
immediately.
Remote Management
If you permit remote management, you can also access the DECT Manager Web

Wizard for selecting provider profiles
Gigaset offers a range of provider profiles that you can use for configuration. The Gigaset
N720 DM PRO searches for a provisioning file on the network and downloads a provider's
configuration data and default settings from this file. You will use this data later to assign
VoIP accounts to the handsets (

Enter data manually here for a VoIP PABX or a provider for which there is no existing
profile. You can obtain the data from the PABX administrator or your VoIP provider.
¤ Enter the IP address for the VoIP PABX in the Proxy server address field.
Occasionally you will need to adjust the following settings to correspond to your router
settings:
– If you cannot hear the caller on an outgoing call, you may have to switch between
outbound proxy server mode and STUN use. The STUN or outbound server replaces
the private IP address of your DECT Manager with its public IP address in the sent
data packets. If you operate your DECT Manager behind a router with symmetric
NAT, STUN cannot be used.
– If you are sometimes unavailable for incoming calls, you may have to adjust the
value in NAT refresh time:
If you have not activated port forwarding or set up a DMZ on the router for the
DECT Manager, an entry in the routing table for the NAT (in the router) is required
to make the phone available. The DECT Manager must confirm this entry in the
routing table at certain intervals (NAT refresh time) so that the entry stays in the
routing table.

¤ If these settings are to apply to all configured handsets, click on OK.
Settings for codecs
The voice quality of VoIP calls is determined by the Codec used for the transmission.
To increase the quality, more data must be transmitted. Depending on the bandwidth of
the DSL connection, this can then lead to problems with the volume of data – especially
if several VoIP calls are made simultaneously – so that the transmission no longer takes
place smoothly.
Both parties involved in a phone connection (caller/sender and recipient) must use the
same voice codec. The voice codec is negotiated between the sender and the recipient
when establishing a connection. You can select the voice codecs to be used for this VoIP
account and specify the order in which the codecs are to be suggested when a VoIP
connection is established.
¤ Select the required codecs and define the sequence in which they should be used.
The following voice codecs are supported:
G.722 Outstanding voice quality. The G.722 wideband voice codec works at the
same bit rate as G.711 (64 kbit/s per voice connection) but at a higher
sampling rate (16 kHz).
G.711 a law/G.711 μ law
Excellent voice quality (comparable with ISDN). The required bandwidth is 64
kbit/s per voice connection.
G.726 Good voice quality (inferior to G.711 but better than G.729). Your phone
supports G.726 with a transmission rate of 32 kbit/s per voice connection.
G.729A Average voice quality. The necessary bandwidth is less than or equal to 8
kbit/s per voice connection.
You need a licence to use the G.729 codec. You can activate this on the
Advanced VoIP settings page (
£ page 84).
¤ If these settings are to apply to all configured handsets, click on OK.

Export and import local directory
The Web configurator has the following options for editing and coordinating the
directories of the registered handsets.
u Save the local directory to a PC. Entries are stored in vCard format in a vcf file on the
PC. You can download these files onto every registered handset. You can also copy
directory entries to your PC address book.
u Transfer contacts from a PC address book. Export the contacts in vcf files (vCards) and
transfer them to the directory on the handset using the Web configurator.
u Delete the local directory from the handset.
If you have edited the directory file (vcf file) on the PC and would like to load this
modified directory to the handset, you can delete the current directory on the handset
before the transfer.
Tip: Back up the current directory on your PC before deleting it. You can then reload it
if the modified directory is affected by formatting errors and some, or all, of it cannot
be loaded onto the handset.
Please note
u You can find information on vCard format (vcf) on the Internet, e.g., at:
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard

local calls (depending on the provider).
You can set your phone so that the access code is automatically predialled when any VoIP
call is made in the same local area, and also for national long-distance calls. This means
that the access code is set before all phone numbers that do not start with 0 – even when
dialling numbers from the directory and other lists. The exceptions are numbers for which

Settings
DTMF in VoIP connections
To send DTMF signals via VoIP, you must first define how key codes should be converted
into and sent as DTMF signals: as audible information via the speech channel or as a "SIP
Info" message.
Ask your provider which type of DTMF transmission is supported.
You have the following options:
¢ Tel e ph o ny ¢ Advanced VoIP settings
¤ If you activate the option Ye s , the phone automatically attempts to set the suitable
DTMF signalling type for the current codec for each call.
¤ If you disable the No option, you can use the other options to specify the DTMF
signalling type.
¤ Enable Audio or RFC 2833 if DTMF signals are to be transmitted acoustically (in
voice packets).
¤ Enable SIP Info if DTMF signals are to be transmitted as code.
Enabling the G.722 wideband telephony codec on the DECT network
Both parties involved in a phone connection (caller/sender and recipient) must use the
same voice codec. The voice codec is negotiated between the sender and the recipient
when establishing a connection.
The G.722 codec (wideband connection) enables high voice quality, but only a maximum
of four simultaneous connections per base station.
¤ Enable the G.722 codec to permit wideband transmission for all handsets on the DECT
network.
84
Page 85
Configuring the system on the DECT Manager
Enabling the G.729 codec
The G.729 codec allows telephony with very low bandwidth requirements and is
recommended if minimal network capacity is to be used. You select the codecs for the
VoIP connections in the "Advanced settings" for each handset (
You need a licence to use the G.729 codec. A maximum of ten licences is available; these
must be activated. The DECT Manager needs to connect to the Internet for this.
When using G.729 you can also save bandwidth and transmission capacity by
suppressing the transmission of voice packets during pauses (default: No).
£ page 78).
¤ Activate the Ye s option for Enable Annex B for codec G.729 to enable the
transmission of data packets during pauses. The participants will then hear
background noise during pauses, similar to the sound heard during a "traditional"
phone call.
Configuring call transfer
Participants can transfer a call to another participant as long as the PABX/provider
supports this function. The call is transferred using the handset menu (via the display key)
or using the R key (

¤ Determine target address automatically
The participant is automatically determined by the number entered and the SIP
information.
¤ Derive target address
You specify how the target address is to be determined:
– from the SIP URL
– from the SIP contact header
Please note
For IP telephony, the call is transferred via the SIP protocol.
The unique address is derived from the SIP-URL (SIP-URI). As well as the SIP-URL, the
SIP contact header contains additional information for transferring data between the
sender and recipient.
u Specify whether the first call is to continue while the second participant is being called,
when a call is forwarded. There are two ways of doing this:
– For attended transfer: This procedure ensures that the call actually takes place.
– For unattended transfer: The first connection to the participant is ended after the
call is transferred.
Defining R key functions for VoIP (hook flash)
Your PABX/VoIP provider may support special performance features. To make use of these
features, your phone needs to send a specific signal (datapacket) to the SIP server. You can
assign this "signal" as the R function to the R key on the handsets.
¤ Enter the data received from your provider in the Application Type and Application
signal fields.
If the user presses this key during a VoIP call, the signal is sent.

Defining local communication ports (listen ports) for VoIP
This setting only has to be changed if the port numbers are already being used by other
subscribers on the LAN. You can then specify other fixed port numbers for the SIP and RTP
port or ranges of numbers for the SIP port.
The following communication ports are used for VoIP telephony:
u SIP port
The communication port via which the phone receives (SIP) signalling data. The
default standard port number is set to 5060 for SIP signalling. You can use values
between 5060 and 6000.
If several VoIP phones are operated on the same router with NAT, it makes sense to use
randomly selected ports. The phones must then use different ports so that the router's
NAT is only able to forward incoming calls and voice data to one (the intended) phone.
¤ Activate Use random po rts and specify a number range for SIP port from which the
ports are to be chosen.
u RTP port
Two consecutive RTP ports (consecutive port numbers) are required for each VoIP
connection. Voice data is received via one port and control data via the other. The
system uses additional ports for the base station connections (32 ports per DECT
module), based on a specified base port. Default setting for the base port: 5004.
The RTP port range calculated for the DECT modules is displayed on the Own base
station data page (
