Gigaset S675 IP – more than just making calls
Gigaset S675 IP – more than just making calls
You can use your phone to make calls both via the fixed line network and also (cost effectively) via the Internet (VoIP) without a PC.
Your phone can do much more:
u Make calls with brilliant sound quality using High Definition Sound
Performance (HDSP) for either internal calls or calls made via VoIP
£ Page 11) – for internal calls or calls via VoIP.
(
u A simple press of a button each time you make a call indicates whether you
want to call via the fixed line network or the Internet (
u Register up to six hand sets on your ba se s tation. Wit h your b ase sta tion , you
can simultaneously conduct two calls via VoIP and one call via the fixed line network.
u Multiline: Create up to six VoIP accounts with different VoIP providers.
Together with your fixed line number and the Gigaset.net number, your phone can then be reached via up to eight different phone numbers.
u Assign each handset its own VoIP number as a send and receive number. If
a member of your family is called on their VoIP number, only their handset will ring (£ Page 168).
u You can also use the VoIP accounts with different providers for cost control
purposes. When dialing, specify the VoIP connection/VoIP account that you want to use for its lower rates (
u Setting dialing plans for phone numbers or area codes enables you to
automate the selection of the most cost-effective VoIP connection

u Configure the phone connection for VoIP without a PC. Your phone's con-
nection assistant downloads general data about your VoIP provider from the Internet and guides you through entering your personal data (VoIP/SIP account). This makes it easy for you to start using VoIP (
u If necessary, make any further VoIP settings on a PC. The phone features a
Web interface (Web configurator) that can be accessed via your PC's Web browser (

VoIP – making calls via the Internet
With VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), your calls are not made via a fixed con- nection as with the telephone network, but rather they are transmitted via the Internet in the form of data packets.
You can take advantage of all the benefits of VoIP with your phone:
u You can make cost-effective calls in high voice quality with callers on the
Internet, the fixed line network or the cell phone network.
u VoIP providers will give you personal numbers, with which you can be
reached from the Internet, the fixed line network and any cell phone net­work.
To use VoIP, you need:
u A broadband Internet connection (e.g. DSL) with flat rate (recommended)
or volume-based price.
u Internet access, i.e. you need a router that will connect your phone to the
Internet. You can find a list of recommended routers on the Internet at: www.gigaset.com/customercare From here, go to the FAQ page and select your Gigaset-IP phone. Search for
"Router", for example.
u Access the services of a VoIP provider. You can open up to six accounts with
different VoIP providers.

Gigaset HDSP – telephony with brilliant sound quality
Gigaset HDSP – telephony with brilliant sound quality
Your Gigaset IP phone supports the broadband codec G.722. With your base station and the corresponding handset, you can make calls via VoIP with brilliant sound quality (High Definition Sound Performance).
If you register further broadband-capable handsets
(e.g. Gigaset S67H, S68H or SL37H) with your base sta­tion, internal calls between these handsets will also be conducted via broad­band.
Prerequisites for broadband connections to your base station are:
u For internal calls:
Both handsets are broadband-capable, i.e. both of them support codec G.722.
u For external calls via VoIP:
– You make the call from a broadband-capable handset. – You have selected codec G.722 for outgoing calls ( – Your VoIP provider supports broadband connections. – The recipient's phone supports codec G.722 and accepts broadband con-
nections.
£ Page 163).
Please note
The VoIP service Gigaset.net (£ Page 54) supports broadband connections.

Installing the base station

The base station is designed for use in closed, dry rooms with a temperature range of +41°F to +113°F.
¤ Set or hang the base station up at a central location in your house or apart-
ment.
Please note
Consider the range of the base station. This is up to 328 yards in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 54 yards 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.
For information on mounting the base station on the wall, see Page 250.
Warning
u Never expose the telephone to any of the following: heat sources, direct
sunlight or other electrical appliances.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.

First steps

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 cellular phone network, you need the services of a VoIP provider who supports the VoIP SIP standard.
Prerequisite: You have registered with such a VoIP provider (e.g. via your PC) and set up at least one VoIP account.
To use VoIP, you need to enter the access data for your VoIP account. You will receive all the necessary data from your VoIP provider. This will include:
u Your user name (if requested by the VoIP provider) is the user identification
(Caller ID) for your account, which is often 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.)
Your phone connection assistant can help you make these entries.
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. Configure VoIP using the auto-configuration code via the base station Web configurator.

Starting the connection assistant

Prerequisite: The base station is connected to the electrical power supply and a router. Your router is connected to the Internet (
Please note
Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assignment of the IP address. In order for your router to "recognize" the phone, dynamic IP address assignment must also be activated on the router, i.e. the router's DHCP server must be acti­vated.
If the DHCP server cannot or should not be activated, you must first assign a fixed IP address to the phone. For further information, see Page 139.
As soon as the handset battery is sufficiently charged, the Message key fon the hand­set will flash (approx. 20 minutes after you have put the handset in the charging cradle).
