Gigaset C450 IP – more than just making calls
Gigaset C450 IP –
more than just making calls
Your phone lets you make calls both via
the fixed network and (cost effectively) via
the Internet (VoIP) without using a PC.
And your phone can do much more
besides:
u Press a button each time you make a
call to indicate whether you want to
make a call via the fixed network or via
the Internet (page 17).
u Register up to six handsets on your
base station. Your base station allows
you to use one handset to make a call
via the fixed network and another to
make a call via the Internet at the same
time.
u Configure the phone connection for
VoIP without a PC. Your phone's conÂnection wizard downloads general data
about your VoIP provider from the
Internet and guides you through enterÂing your personal data (account). This
makes it easy for you to start using VoIP
(page 10).
u If necessary, establish any further
VoIP settings on a PC. The phone has a
Web interface (Web configurator) that
can be accessed via your PC's Web
browser (page 46).
u Assign your own password (system
PIN) to protect your device and the Web
configurator from unauthorised access
(page 40).
u Send and receive SMS messages via the
fixed network (page 28).
u Save 100 phone numbers on your
handset (page 24).
u You can programme the keys of your
phone with important phone numbers.
The phone number is then dialled by
simply pressing the respective key
(page 25).
u Use the handsfree function to keep
your hands free when making a call
(page 18).
u Use your handset as an alarm clock
(page 39).
Your Gigaset C450 IP has a protected operating
system that offers increased security against
viruses from the Internet.
Have fun using your new telephone!
VoIP – Making calls via the
Internet
With VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol),
your calls are not made via a fixed connecÂtion as in the telephone network, but
rather they are transmitted via the InterÂnet 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 with
high voice quality with subscribers on
the Internet, the fixed network or the
mobile phone network.
u Your SIP provider will give you a per-
sonal number, with which you can be
reached from the Internet, the fixed
network and any mobile phone netÂwork.
To be able to use VoIP, you need the folÂlowing:
u A broadband Internet connection (e.g.
DSL) with flat rate or volume-based
price
u Internet access, i.e. you need a router
that will connect your phone to the
Internet.
u Access to the services of a VoIP pro-
vider. Open an account with a VoIP proÂvider.

First steps
Initial charging and discharging of
batteries
Battery charging is indicated in the top
right of the display by a flashing battery
icon e, V or U. During handset
operation, the battery icon indicates the
charge status of the batteries (page 1).
The correct charge status can only be disÂplayed when the batteries are first fully
charged and discharged through use.
¤ To do this, leave the handset in the
charging cradle without interruption
until the battery icon stops flashing in
the display (approx. 13 hours).
¤ Once the batteries are fully charged,
remove the handset from the charging
cradle and do not put it back again until
the batteries are fully discharged.
Note:
After the first battery charge and discharge,
you may replace your handset in the charging
cradle after every call.
Please note:
u Always repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and insert
them in again.
u The batteries may warm up as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
u After a while the charge capacity of the
batteries will decrease for technical reaÂsons.

First steps
Making settings for VoIP
telephony
Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to
phone any other users on the Internet, the
fixed network or the mobile phone netÂwork, you need the services of a VoIP proÂvider who supports the VoIP SIP standard.
Precondition: You have registered with a
VoIP provider (e.g.via your PC) and set up
an account. The provider must support
the VoIP SIP standard.
The following phone settings are necesÂsary in order for you to use VoIP. You will
receive all information from your VoIP proÂvider.
u Your user name with the VoIP provider,
if this is required by the VoIP provider
u Your regis tration name
u Your password with the VoIP provider
u VoIP provider general settings
The connection wizard will help you with
the settings.
Starting the connection wizard
Precondition: The base station is conÂnected to the mains power supply and a
router. Your router is connected to the
Internet.
Tip: If VoIP (IP) is activated as the default
connection for your phone (default setÂting see page 41), the phone will attempt
to make a direct connection to the server
belonging to your VoIP provider after the
connection assistant is closed. If incorrect/
incomplete information means that the
connection cannot be established, mesÂsages will be displayed (page 12).
Note:
Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic
assignment of the IP address. In order for your
router to "recognise" the phone, dynamic IP
address assignment must also be activated on
the router, i.e. the router's DHCP server is actiÂvated. Turn to page 43 to find out how to
assign your phone a static IP address if necesÂsary.
If the handset battery is sufficiently
charged, the message key f on the handÂset will flash (around 20 minutes after you
have put the handset in the charging craÂdle).
¤ Press the message key f.
You will see the following display:
Start VoIP

~Enter the system PIN of the
base station (the default is
0000) and press
Note:
The connection wizard will also start automatÂically if you try to establish a connection via
the Internet, before you have made the necesÂsary settings.
You can also call up the connection wizard at
any time via the menu (page 42).

First steps
Downloading VoIP provider data
The phone establishes a connection with
the Siemens server on the Internet. ProÂfiles with general access data for various
VoIP providers can be downloaded here.
The message Select country is displayed.
After changing the display:
qSelect country and press
§OK§.
Select provider is displayed.
After changing the display:
qSelect VoIP provider and press
§OK§.
The necessary data for your VoIP provider
is downloaded and saved on the phone.
Note:
If the data for your VoIP provider is not offered
for download, you must make the necessary
settings with the Web configurator at a later
stage (page 51)
Press the display key §Back§. You can then conÂduct the following steps with the connection
assistant (see "Entering VoIP user data").
Entering VoIP user data
Depending on the VoIP provider, the
following information will be requested
in sequence:
Username:
If this is required by your proÂvider, enter name and press
§OK§.
Authentication Name:
Enter name and press
Authentication Password:
Enter password and press
§OK§.
§OK§.
Completing the VoIP settings
Once all the necessary entries have been
made, the handset reverts to idle status.
If all the settings are correct and if the
phone can establish a connection to the
VoIP server, then the internal name of the
handset will be displayed:

First steps
No connection to the Internet/VoIP server
If one of the following messages is disÂplayed instead of the internal name after
the connection assistant is closed, then
either a fault has occurred or your inforÂmation was incomplete:
Server not accessible!
The phone has no connection to the InterÂnet.
¤ Check the cable connection between
the base station and the router (the
LED on the base station must light up)
and the connection between the router
and the modem/Internet connection.
¤ Check whether the phone is connected
to the LAN.
– It may not have been possible to
dynamically assign an IP address to
the phone
or
– You have assigned a static IP address
to the phone that has either already
been assigned to another LAN sub-
scriber or does not belong to the
router's address block.
¤ Find the IP address using the hand-
set menu:
§Menu§ ¢ Settings¢ Base
¢ VoIP Configuration ¢ (enter sys-
tem PIN)
¢ IP Address
¢ IP Configuration
¤ Start the Web configurator with the
IP address (page 46).
¤ If no connection can be established:
change the settings on the router
(activate DHCP server) or the
phone's (static) IP address.
SIP registration failed!
u Your personal data for registering with
the VoIP provider may have been
entered incompletely or incorrectly.
¤ Check your entries for Username,
Authentication Name and AuthenticaÂtion Password. In particular, check
your use of upper and lower case.
To do this, open the following menu
on your handset:
§Menu§ ¢ Settings
¢ Base ¢ VoIP Configuration
u The server address for the VoIP server
has not yet been entered, or has been
entered incorrectly.
¤ Start the Web configurator.
¤ Open Settings¢ Telephony
¢ Vo IP Web page.
¤ Edit the server address where neces-
sary.
Note:
If port forwarding is activated on your router
for the ports that have been registered as the
SIP port (Standard 5060) and the RTP port
(Standard 5004), then it makes sense to switch
off DHCP and assign the phone a static IP
address (otherwise you may not be able to
hear the other party during VoIP calls):
– Via the handset menu:
§Menu§
£ Settings £ Base
£ VoIP Configuration £ (enter system PIN)
£ IP Configuration £ IP Address
Or
– Via the Web configurator:
¥ Open Settings£IP configuration
Web page.
Â¥ Select IP address type.
Please note that the IP address and subnet
mask depend on the router's address block.
You must also enter the default gateway and
DNS server via the Web configurator
(page 50). The IP address for the router is genÂerally entered here.

You will find other messages and possible
measures in the Questions and answers
section on page 61.
Belt clip and headset
By using a belt clip and headset (optional)
you can easily make your handset a conÂstant companion both inside the building
and in its immediate vicinity.
Attaching the belt clip
There are notches for attaching the belt
clip on the side of the handset at approxiÂmately the same height as the display.
¤ Press the belt clip onto the back of the
handset so that the protrusions on the
belt clip engage with the notches.
The tongue of the belt clip must face the
battery compartment.

Making calls with VoIP and the fixed network
Making calls with VoIP and
the fixed network
Making an external call
External calls are calls made via the public
telephone network (fixed network) or via
the Internet (VoIP). You can use the talk
key c when dialling to select what type of
connection you want to use (fixed netÂwork or VoIP). One particular connection
type is set as the default connection for
your phone. The default is VoIP (for how to
change the setting if required, see
page 41).
¤ Enter the required number/IP address
using the keypad.
¤ Press the talk key c briefly if you want
to make the call via the default connecÂtion.
Or:
¤ Press and hold the talk key c if you
want to make a phone call via the other
connection type (the non-default conÂnection).
Notes:
– If there are at least two handsets registered
to your base station, you can use one to
make a call via the fixed network and the
other to make a call via the Internet (VoIP)
at the same time.
– If you use a different GAP-compatible hand-
set to the Gigaset C45, all calls will be made
via the default connection, even if you
press and hold the talk key
to use the non-default connection to make
a call, enter a star (*) at the end of the
number.
– If you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed
network, you may also have to dial the area
code for local calls (depending on the VoIP
provider). You can avoid this by entering
the area code in the configuration of the
base station (via the Web configurator, see
page 56). It will then be inserted automatiÂcally for local calls.
c. If you want
Cancelling the dialling operation
You can cancel the dialling operation with
the end call key a.
Entering an IP address
If you are making a call via VoIP, you can
enter an IP address instead of a phone
number.
PPress the star key to separate
the parts 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 (page 85) to the IP
address (e.g.
149*246*122*28#5060).
Notes:
– Dialling with the directory (page 24) or last
number redial list (page 26) saves repeated
keying of phone numbers.
– You can assign a number from the directory
to a key for speed dialling (page 25).
– You can edit or add to any phone number
selected by means of quick dial or from the
directory and use it for the current call.
Ending a call

network or VoIP). To record all calls, you
should therefore set up network mailÂboxes for both fixed network and VoIP.
Note:
You can only set up fast access to one of the
network mailboxes.

¤ In the Address Assignment area, select
the IP address type.
Select Obtained automatically if you want
your phone to be assigned a dynamic IP
address by a DHCP server in your local netÂwork. No further settings are necessary for
the local network.
Select Static if you would like to set up a
static IP address for your phone. A static IP
address is useful, for example, when Port
Forwarding or a DMZ is set up on the
router for the phone.
The following fields are displayed when
you select IP address type = Static:
IP address
Enter an IP address for you phone. This
IP address allows your phone to be
reached by other subscribers in your
local network (e.g. PC).
192.168.2.2 has been preset.
Please note the following:
– The IP address must be from the
address block for private use that is
used in the router. This is generally
block 192.168.0.1 –
192.168.255.254 with Subnet mask
255.255.255.0. The subnet mask
determines that the first three parts
of the IP address must be identical
for all subscribers in your LAN.
– The static IP address must not
belong to the address block (IP pool
range) that is reserved for the DHCP
server. In addition, it must not be
used by another device on the
router.
If necessary, check the settings on the
router.
Subnet mask
Enter the subnet mask for your device's
IP address. For addresses in the address
block 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254.
The usual address for the subnet mask
255.255.255.0 is preconfigured in the
default settings.
Default gateway
Enter the IP address for the standard
gateway, by means of which the local
network is connected with the Internet.
This is generally the local (private) IP
address for your router. Your phone
requires this information to be able to
access the Internet.
192.168.2.1 has been preset.
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 connecÂtion is being established to a server.
You can specify your router's IP address
here. The router forwards phone
address requests to its DNS server.
192.168.2.1 has been preset.
50
Web configurator
Alternate DNS server (optional)
Enter the IP address for the alternative
DNS server that should be used in situÂations where the preferred DNS server
cannot be reached.
Click on Set to save the changes.
Click on Cancel to reject the changes.
Allow access from other networks
The default setting for you phone is that
you can only access your phone's Web
configurator via a PC that is in the same
local network as your phone. The subnet
mask of the PC must match that of the
phone.
You can also allow access from PCs in
other networks.
Warning:
Expansion of access entitlement to other netÂworks increases the risk of unauthorised
access.
It is therefore recommended to deactivate
remote access again if you no longer need it.
¤ Open Settings¢ IP configuration Web
page.
¤ In the Remote Management area, activate
the option Yes to permit access from
other networks.
To deactivate remote access, click on
the No option. Access is then limited to
PCs in your own local network.
Access to the Web configurator services
from other networks is only possible if
your router is set accordingly. The router
must pass on the service requests from
"outside" to Port 80 (standard port) of the
phone. Please also read the user guide for
your router.
To establish a connection, the public IP
address or the DNS name of the router
and, where applicable, the port number
on the router, must be indicated in the
Web browser of the remote PC.
VoIP telephony
Make the settings that your phone
requires to access your provider's SIP
server. For the majority of VoIP providers,
you can make the most important setting
on your handset (page 42). The Web conÂfigurator allows you to extend the possibilÂity of these settings.
If your VoIP provider general settings are
not available for download in the provider
list on the Internet, you must make these
settings using the Web configurator as folÂlows.
¤ Open Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Vo IP
Web page.
¤ In the working area, enter the configu-
ration data as listed below into the
areas SIP, Listen ports, Network and Voi ce
codecs.
Area: SIP
Enter the configuration data that is necesÂsary for accessing your VoIP provider's SIP
service. You will receive this data from
your VoIP provider.
Authentication Name
Specify the registration or authenticaÂtion Id agreed with your VoIP provider.
The registration ID serves as the access
ID that your phone must specify when
registering with the SIP proxy/registrar
server. The Authentication Name is
mainly identical to the Username, i.e. to
your Internet phone number.
Authentication password / Confirm
authentication password
Enter the password that you have
agreed with your VoIP provider in the
Authentication password field. The phone
needs the password when registering
with the SIP proxy/registrar server. The
password is concealed when entered.
Re-enter the password in the Confirm
authentication password field.
51
Web configurator
Username
Enter the caller ID for your VoIP pro-
vider account. This ID is usually identi-
cal to the first part of your SIP address
(URI, your Internet phone number).
Example: If your SIP address is
"987654321@provider.com", enter
"987654321" in Username.
Domain
Specify the last part of your SIP address
(URI) here.
Example: For the SIP address
"987654321@provider.com", enter
"provider.com" in Domain.
Display name (optional)
Enter any name that should be shown
in the other party's display when you
call him via the Internet (example:
Anna Sand). All characters in the UTF8
character set (Unicode) are permitted.
This name must not exceed 32 charac-
ters
If you do not enter a name, Username is
displayed.
Ask your VoIP provider if this feature is
supported.
Proxy server address
The SIP proxy is your VoIP provider's
gateway server. Enter the IP address or
the (fully-qualified) DNS name of your
SIP proxy server.
Example: myprovider.com.
Proxy server port
Enter the number of the communica-
tion port that the SIP proxy uses to send
and receive signalling data (SIP port).
Port 5060 is used by most VoIP provid-
ers.
Registrar server
Enter the (fully-qualified) DNS name or
the IP address of the registrar server.
The registrar is needed when the
phone is registered. It assigns the pubÂlic IP address/port number to your SIP
address (Username@Domain) that were
used by the phone at registration. With
most VoIP providers, the registrar
server is identical to the SIP server.
Example: reg.myprovider.com.
Registrar server port
Enter the communication port used in
the registrar. It is mainly port 5060 that
is used.
Area: Listen ports
Specify the phone's local ports for VoIP
telephony here. The ports must not be
used by any other subscriber in the LAN.
SIP port
Specify the local communication port
that the phone should use to send and
receive signalling data. Specify a
number between 1024 and 49152. The
default port number for SIP signalling is
5060.
Note:
Ports 0 to 1023 should not be used,
because these are often used by standard
applications.
RTP port
Specify the local communication port
that the phone should use to send and
receive voice data. Enter an even
number between 1024 and 49152. The
port number must not be the same as
the port number in the SIP port field.
If you enter an odd number, the even
number just below it will be set
(e.g. if you enter 5003, 5002 is set).
The default port number for voice
transmission is 5004.
52
Note:
Ports 0 to 1023 should not be used,
because these are often used by standard
applications.
Web configurator
Use random ports
Click on the option Yes, if you do not
want the phone to use fixed ports for
SIP port and RTP port, but rather to use
any free ports.
The use of random ports makes sense if
you want several phones to be oper-
ated on the same router with NAT. 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.
If you click on No, the phone will use
the ports specified in SIP port and RTP
port.
Area: Network
If your phone is connected to a router with
NAT (Network Address Translation) and/or
Firewall, you must make a few settings in
this area so that your phone can be
reached from the Internet (i.e. can be
addressed).
Through NAT, the IP addresses of subscribÂers in the LAN are concealed behind the
public IP address of the router.
For incoming calls
If port forwarding is activated or a DMZ is
set up for the phone on the router, no speÂcial settings are required for incoming
calls.
If this is not the case, an entry in the NAT
routing table (in the router) is necessary in
order for the phone to be reached. This
entry is created when the phone is regisÂtered with the SIP service. In the interest
of security, this entry is automatically
deleted at certain intervals (session timeÂout). The phone must therefore confirm
its registration at certain intervals (see
NAT refresh time, page 53), so that the
entry stays in the routing table.
For outgoing calls
The phone needs its public address in
order to receive caller voice data.
There are two possibilities:
u The phone requests the public address
from a STUN server on the Internet
(Simple Transversal of UDP over NAT).
STUN can only be used with asymmetÂric NATs and non-blocking firewalls.
u The phone does not direct the connec-
tion request to the SIP proxy but to an
outbound proxy on the Internet that
supplies the data packets along with
the public address.
The STUN server and outbound proxy are
used alternately to work around the NAT/
firewall in the router.
STUN enabled
Click on Yes if you want your phone to
use STUN as soon as it is used on a
router with asymmetric NAT.
STUN server
Enter the (fully-qualified) DNS name or
the IP address of the STUN server on
the Internet.
If you selected the option Yes in the
STUN enabled field, you must enter a
STUN server here.
STUN port
Enter the number of the communicaÂtion port on the STUN server. The
default port is 3478.
NAT refresh time
Specify the intervals at which you want
the phone to update its entry in the
NAT routing table. Specify an interval in
seconds that is a little smaller than the
NAT session timeout.
As a rule you should not change the
preconfigured value for the NAT refresh
time.
53
Web configurator
Outbound proxy mode
Specify when the outbound proxy
should be used.
Always
All signalling and voice data sent by the
phone is sent to the outbound proxy.
Auto
Data sent by the phone is only sent to
the outbound proxy when the phone is
connected to a router with symmetric
NAT or blocking firewall. If the phone is
phone is behind an asymmetric NAT,
the STUN server is used.
If you have set STUN enabled = No or
have not entered a STUN server, the
outbound proxy is always used.
Never
The outbound proxy is not used.
If you do not make an entry in the Out-
bound proxy field, the phone behaves
independently of the selected mode,
just as with Never.
Outbound proxy
Enter the (fully qualified) DNS name or
the IP address of your provider's out-
bound proxy.
Note:
With many providers, the ou tbound proxy is
identical to the SIP proxy.
Area: Voice codecs
You can influence the quality of your VoIP
connections via the parameters in the
Voice codecs area. In addition to the lan-
guage codecs used, you can activate/
deactivate "Silence Suppression" and
specify the language and earpiece volume
(VoI P Volume).
Your phone supports various voice Codecs
for digitalising (coding and decoding)
voice data. The voice Codec used on a
phone connection has a significant influÂence on the voice quality, e.g. through the
time need to code/decode (voice delay).
The choice of voice Codec is a compromise
between voice quality and the necessary
bandwidth.
Both sides of a phone connection (caller/
sender side and receiver side) must be
using the same voice Codec. The voice
Codec is negotiated between the sender
and the recipient when establishing a conÂnection.
Set the voice Codec that your phone sugÂgests when establishing a VoIP connecÂtion.
You can choose between the following
voice Codecs supported by your phone:
Outbound proxy port
Enter the number of the communica-
tion port used by the outbound proxy.
The default port is 5060.
54
Web configurator
G729
Average voice quality. The necessary
bandwidth is less than 8 Kbit/s per
voice connection.
To save additional bandwidth and
transmission capacity, on VoIP connec-
tions that use Codec G72 you can sup-
press the transmission of language
packages in pauses ("Silence Suppres-
sion", Enable Annex B for G729 option).
Then, instead of the background noises
in your environment, your caller hears
a synthetic noise generated in the
receiver.
Please note: "Silence Suppression"
may mean a deterioration in the voice
quality.
G711 a law/G711 µ law
Excellent voice quality (comparable
with ISDN). The necessary bandwidth is
64 Kbit/s per voice connection.
G726
Good voice quality (inferior to that with
G.711 but better than with G.729).
Your phone supports G.726 with a
transmission rate of 32 Kbit/s per voice
connection.
¤ In the VoIP Volume parameter, specify
the amplification level of the voice and
earpiece volume.
With some VoIP providers it may be the
case that the voice/earpiece volume is
too low or too high. Volume regulation
via the handset may then be insuffi-
cient.
You can pre-adjust the volume via the
VoI P Vol ume parameter. You specify
whether the adjustable volume range
on the handset should be raised or low-
ered. The following choices are availa-
ble:
Low
Voice/earpiece volume is too low. If you
activate this option the volume is raised
by 6 dB.
Normal
The voice/earpiece volume does not
need to be raised/lowered.
High
Voice/earpiece volume is too high. If
you activate this option the volume is
lowered by 6 dB.
¤ In the Enable Annex B for G729 field, state
whether, when using Codec G729,
transmission of data packages for
pauses is to be suppressed (Yes).
¤ Apply the voice Codecs that your phone
suggests with outgoing calls into the
Selected codecs list.
Click in the Available codecs list on the
voice Codec that you want to apply
(you can mark several entries using the
Shift key or the Ctrl key). Click on the
<Add button.
¤ Move the voice Codecs that you do not
want the phone to use into the Available
codecs list.
Also select the voice Codec in the Avail-
able codecs list (see above) and click on
the Remove> button.
¤ Sort the voice Codecs in the Selected
codecs list into the order in which they
should be suggested to the receiver
when a connection is established. To
do this, use the Up and Down buttons.
When establishing a VoIP connection, the
phone suggests the 1st voice Codec in the
Selected codecs list to the receiver to begin
with. If the receiver does not accept this
voice Codec (e.g. because it does not supÂport it), the 2nd voice Codec in the list is
suggested etc.
If the receiver does not accept any of the
voice Codecs in the Selected codecs list, the
connection is not established. An approÂpriate message will be displayed on the
handset.
55
Web configurator
Notes:
– You should only deactivate Codecs (put
them in the Available codecs list) if there is a
particular reason. The more Codecs are
deactivated, the greater the danger that
calls will not be able to be established due
to unsuccessful Codec negotiations.
– With incoming calls, all supported voice
Codecs are always permitted.

Setting DTMF signalling
For example, DTMF signalling is required
for playing and controlling some network
answer machines via digit codes.
For VoIP specify how DTMF signals should
be transmitted: as audible information in
the voice channel or as a "SIP Info" mesÂsage.
Ask your VoIP provider which type of
DTMF transmission it supports.
¤ Open the following Web page:
Settings
¢ Telephony ¢ DTMF.
¤ In the RTP Mode field, specify whether
DTMF signals are to be transmitted
acoustically (in voice packages). If so,
activate Audio; otherwise, activate no
DTMF via RTP.
¤ In the Via SIP Info field, specify whether
DTMF signals are to be transmitted as
code. Activate Yes or No.

You can save the annoying need to dial the
area code for local calls by activating the
Area Code Predialling function. In VoIP calls,
the area code entered is then prefixed to
all numbers that do not start with 0 – even
when dialling numbers from the directory
and other lists.
¢ Telephony ¢ Dialing Plans.
¤ Enter your area code in the Area Code

¤ Click on the Yes option next to Predial
area code for local calls through VoIP to
activate the function.
If you click on No you must enter the
area code even for local calls via VoIP.
Numbers in the directory must always
contain the area code for dialling via
VoIP.
¤ Click on Set to save the settings.
Please note that if the option is activated, the
area code is prefixed to all phone numbers that
do not start with 0 and are dialled via VoIP.
This is especially the case for numbers of the
network answer machine (page 33) and,
if the Emergency calls always via fixed line option
is deactivated (see below), for emergency
numbers.
56
Web configurator
Changing settings for dialling emergency
numbers
The default setting for your phone is that
emergency numbers are always dialled via
the fixed network – irrespective of which
connection type you select. The fixed netÂwork always supports emergency numÂbers (e.g. establishing connection to the
local police emergency number).
These emergency numbers are already
preconfigured in your phone's default setÂtings. They are displayed on this website,
but cannot be changed.
You can enter an additional emergency
number.
You can deactivate the setting for emerÂgency numbers to always be dialled via
the fixed network.
Warning:
If you deactivate the Emergency calls always via
fixed line option, make sure that your VoIP pro-
vider supports emergency numbers.
¤ Enter a phone number as an additional
emergency number in the User-editable
number field.
¤ If you click on No next to Emergency calls
always via fixed line, the connection via
the connection type that you indicate
during dialling is established (e.g. by
pressing and holding or briefly press-
ing the talk key).
If you click on the Yes option, your
phone always establishes the connec-
tion via the fixed network when dialling
one of the emergency numbers
(default setting).
¤ Click on Set to save the settings.
Specifying the server for firmware
updates and starting the update
If necessary, you can load updates of the
base station firmware onto your phone.
You can either download the updates
directly from the Internet or from a PC in
your local network.
Using the Web configurator you can specÂify from where the firmware should be
loaded.
¤ Open the following Web page:

VoIP status codes
If you have problems with your VoIP conÂnections, activate the Status on HS function
(page 44, page 58). You will then receive
a VoIP status code that will support you in
problem analysis. Also enter the code durÂing problem analysis by the Service
department.
In the following tables you will find the
meanings of the most important status
codes and messages.

Appendix
Voice quality and infrastructure
With your Gigaset C450 IP you have the
possibility of making calls with good voice
quality via VoIP.
However, your phone's performance with
VoIP – and therefore the voice quality –
also depends on the properties of the
entire infrastructure.
The following VoIP provider components
are just some of the things that can influÂence performance:
u Router
u DSLAM
u DSL transmission line and speed
u Connection paths over the Internet
u If necessary, other applications that
also use the DSL connection
In VoIP networks, the voice quality,
amongst other things, is influenced by the
"quality of service" (QoS). If the entire
infrastructure demonstrates QoS, voice
quality is better (fewer delays, less echoÂing, less crackling etc.).
If, for example, the router does not have
QoS, the voice quality is not as good.
Please see the specialist documentation
for further information.
Notes:
You should observe the following for good
voice quality:
– When making calls using VoIP, avoid per-
forming other Internet activities (e.g. surfÂing the net).
– Irrespective of the Codec used and the net-
work capacity utilisation, note that voice
delays can occur. Therefore, allow your
VoIP calling partner to finish speaking. Do
not interrupt him or her.
Searching for service

You may need the service information of
your phone (base station and handset) for

Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330,
Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser
GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU
Library Public License, version 2, hence the
version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to
ta ke away you r freedom to share an d cha nge it.
By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses
are intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change free software--to make sure
the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License,
applies to some specially designated software
packages--typically libraries--of the Free SoftÂware Foundation and other authors who decide
to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you
first think carefully about whether this license
or the ordinary General Public License is the
better strategy to use in any particular case,
based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referÂring to freedom of use, not price. Our General
Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
you have the freedom to distribute copies of
free software (and charge for this service if you
wish); that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it; that you can change the software
and use pieces of it in new free programs; and
that you are informed that you can do these
things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restricÂtions that forbid distributors to deny you these
rights or to ask you to surrender these rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsiÂbilities for you if you distribute copies of the
library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the
library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must
give the recipients all the rights that we gave
you. You must make sure that they, too, receive
or can get the source code. If you link other
code with the library, you must provide comÂplete object files to the recipients, so that they
can relink them with the library after making
changes to the library and recompiling it. And
you must show them these terms so they know
their rights.
71
Appendix
We protect your rights with a two-step method:
(1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer
you this license, which gives you legal permisÂsion to copy, distribute and/or modify the
library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it
very clear that there is no warranty for the free
library. Also, if the library is modified by someÂone else and passed on, the recipients should
know that what they have is not the original
version, so that the original author's reputation
will not be affected by problems that might be
introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat
to the existence of any free program. We wish
to make sure that a company cannot effectively
restrict the users of a free program by obtaining
a restrictive license from a patent holder. ThereÂfore, we insist that any patent license obtained
for a version of the library must be consistent
with the full freedom of use specified in this
license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is
covered by the ordinary GNU General Public
License. This license, the GNU Lesser General
Public License, applies to certain designated
libraries, and is quite different from the ordiÂnary General Public License. We use this license
for certain libraries in order to permit linking
those libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library,
whether statically or using a shared library, the
combination of the two is legally speaking a
combined work, a derivative of the original
library. The ordinary General Public License
therefore permits such linking only if the entire
combination fits its criteria of freedom. The
Lesser General Public License permits more lax
criteria for linking other code with the library.
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public
License because it does Less to protect the
user's freedom than the ordinary General Public
License. It also provides other free software
developers Less of an advantage over competÂing non-free programs. These disadvantages
are the reason we use the ordinary General
Public License for many libraries. However, the
Lesser license provides advantages in certain
special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a
special need to encourage the widest possible
use of a certain library, so that it becomes a deÂfacto standard. To achieve this, non-free proÂgrams must be allowed to use the library. A
more frequent case is that a free library does
the same job as widely used non-free libraries.
In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the
free library to free software only, so we use the
Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular
library in non-free programs enables a greater
number of people to use a large body of free
software. For example, permission to use the
GNU C Library in non-free programs enables
many more people to use the whole GNU operÂating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/
Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is
Less protective of the users' freedom, it does
ensure that the user of a program that is linked
with the Library has the freedom and the
wherewithal to run that program using a modiÂfied version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying,
distribution and modification follow. Pay close
attention to the difference between a "work
based on the library" and a "work that uses the
library". The former contains code derived from
the library, whereas the latter must be comÂbined with the library in order to run.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISÂTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any soft-
ware library or other program which contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder or other
authorized party saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this Lesser General Public
License (also called "this License"). Each licenÂsee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software funcÂtions and/or data prepared so as to be convenÂiently linked with application programs (which
use some of those functions and data) to form
executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such softÂware library or work which has been distributed
under these terms. A "work based on the
Library" means either the Library or any derivaÂtive work under copyright law: that is to say, a
work containing the Library or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated straightforwardly into another lanÂguage. (Hereinafter, translation is included
without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred
form of the work for making modifications to it.
For a library, complete source code means all
the source code for all modules it contains, plus
any associated interface definition files, plus
the scripts used to control compilation and
installation of the library.
72
Appendix
Activities other than copying, distribution and
modification are not covered by this License;
they are outside its scope. The act of running a
program using the Library is not restricted, and
output from such a program is covered only if
its contents constitute a work based on the
Library (independent of the use of the Librar y in
a tool for writing it). Whether that is true
depends on what the Library does and what the
program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies
of the Library's complete source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on
each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the
absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy
of this License along with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of
transferring a copy, and you may at your option
offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the
Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work
based on the Library, and copy and distribute
such modifications or work under the terms of
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all
of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software
library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry
prominent notices stating that you changed the
files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be
licensed at no charge to all third parties under
the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a
function or a table of data to be supplied by an
application program that uses the facility, other
than as an argument passed when the facility is
invoked, then you must make a good faith
effort to ensure that, in the event an applicaÂtion does not supply such function or table, the
facility still operates, and performs whatever
part of its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute
square roots has a purpose that is entirely wellÂdefined independent of the application. ThereÂfore, Subsection 2d requires that any applicaÂtion-supplied function or table used by this
function must be optional: if the application
does not supply it, the square root function
must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work
as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work
are not derived from the Library, and can be
reasonably considered independent and sepa-
rate works in themselves, then this License, and
its terms, do not apply to those sections when
you distribute them as separate works. But
when you distribute the same sections as part
of a whole which is a work based on the Library,
the distribution of the whole must be on the
terms of this License, whose permissions for
other licensees extend to the entire whole, and
thus to each and every part regardless of who
wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim
rights or contest your rights to work written
entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise
the right to control the distribution of derivative
or collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work
not based on the Library with the Library (or
with a work based on the Library) on a volume
of a storage or distribution medium does not
bring the other work under the scope of this
License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordiÂnary GNU General Public License instead of this
License to a given copy of the Library. To do
this, you must alter all the notices that refer to
this License, so that they refer to the ordinary
GNU General Public License, version 2, instead
of to this License. (If a newer version than verÂsion 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public
License has appeared, then you can specify that
version instead if you wish.) Do not make any
other change in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is
irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU
General Public License applies to all subsequent
copies and derivative works made from that
copy.
Th is op ti on i s u se fu l wh en yo u w ish to co py p ar t
of the code of the Library into a program that is
not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a
portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in
ob je ct c ode o r ex ecut able for m u nde r the ter ms
of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you
accompany it with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for softÂware interchange.
I f d is tr ib ut io n o f o bj ec t c od e i s ma de by of fe ri ng
access to copy from a designated place, then
offering equivalent access to copy the source
code from the same place satisfies the requireÂment to distribute the source code, even
though third parties are not compelled to copy
the source along with the object code.
73
Appendix
5. A program that contains no derivative of any
portion of the Library, but is designed to work
with the Library by being compiled or linked
with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".
Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative
work of the Library, and therefore falls outside
the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library"
with the Library creates an executable that is a
derivative of the Library (because it contains
portions of the Library), rather than a "work
that uses the library". The executable is thereÂfore covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such
executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses mateÂrial from a header file that is part of the Librar y,
the object code for the work may be a derivative
work of the Library even though the source
code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if
the work can be linked without the Library, or if
the work is itself a library. The threshold for this
to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical
parameters, data structure layouts and accesÂsors, and small macros and small inline funcÂtions (ten lines or less in length), then the use
of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of
whether it is legally a derivative work. (ExecutÂables containing this object code plus portions
of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the
Library, you may distribute the object code for
the work under the terms of Section 6.
Any executables containing that work also fall
under Section 6, whether or not they are linked
directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you
may also combine or link a "work that uses the
Library" with the Library to produce a work conÂtaining portions of the Library, and distribute
that work under terms of your choice, provided
that the terms permit modification of the work
for the customer's own use and reverse engiÂneering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy
of the work that the Librar y is used in it and that
the Library and its use are covered by this
Li cense. You must sup ply a copy of this Lic ense .
If the work during execution displays copyright
notices, you must include the copyright notice
for the Library among them, as well as a referÂence directing the user to the copy of this
License. Also, you must do one of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corÂresponding machine-readable source code for
the Library including whatever changes were
used in the work (which must be distributed
under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work
is an executable linked with the Library, with
the complete machine-readable "work that uses
the Library", as object code and/or source code,
so that the user can modify the Library and then
relink to produce a modified executable conÂtaining the modified Library. (It is understood
that the user who changes the contents of defÂinitions files in the Library will not necessarily
be able to recompile the application to use the
modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for
linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism
is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the
library already present on the user's computer
system, rather than copying library functions
into the executable, and (2) will operate propÂerly with a modified version of the library, if the
user installs one, as long as the modified verÂsion is interface-compatible with the version
that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer,
valid for at least three years, to give the same
user the materials specified in Subsection 6a,
above, for a charge no more than the cost of
performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, offer
equivalent access to copy the above specified
materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a
copy of these materials or that you have already
sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the
"work that uses the Library" must include any
data and utility programs needed for reproducÂing the executable from it. However, as a speÂcial exception, the materials to be distributed
need not include anything that is normally disÂtributed (in either source or binary form) with
the major components (compiler, kernel, and
so on) of the operating system on which the
executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts
the license restrictions of other proprietary
libraries that do not normally accompany the
operating system. Such a contradiction means
you cannot use both them and the Library
together in an executable that you distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a
work based on the Library side-by-side in a sinÂgle library together with other library facilities
not covered by this License, and distribute such
a combined library, provided that the separate
74
Appendix
distribution of the work based on the Library
and of the other library facilities is otherwise
permitted, and provided that you do these two
things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy
of the same work based on the Library, uncomÂbined with any other library facilities. This must
be distributed under the terms of the Sections
above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined
library of the fact that part of it is a work based
on the Library, and explaining where to find the
accompanying uncombined form of the same
work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link
with, or distribute the Library except as
expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense,
link with, or distribute the Library is void, and
will automatically terminate your rights under
this License. However, parties who have
received copies, or rights, from you under this
License will not have their licenses terminated
so long as such parties remain in full compliÂance.
9. You are not required to accept this License,
since you have not signed it. However, nothing
else grants you permission to modify or distribÂute the Library or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not
accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
distributing the Library (or any work based on
the Library), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conÂditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Library or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or
any work based on the Library), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the origiÂnal licensor to copy, distribute, link with or
modify the Library subject to these terms and
conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliÂance by third parties with this License.
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or
allegation of patent infringement or for any
other reason (not limited to patent issues), conÂditions are imposed on you (whether by court
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict
the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License.
If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaÂneously your obligations under this License and
any other pertinent obligations, then as a conÂsequence you may not distribute the Library at
all. For example, if a patent license would not
permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library
by all those who receive copies directly or indiÂrectly through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumÂstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply, and the section as a whole is intended to
apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce
you to infringe any patents or other property
right claims or to contest validity of any such
claims; this section has the sole purpose of proÂtecting the integrity of the free software distriÂbution system which is implemented by public
license practices. Many people have made genÂerous contributions to the wide range of softÂware distributed through that system in reliÂance on consistent application of that system; it
is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she
is willing to distribute software through any
other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly
clear what is believed to be a consequence of
the rest of this License.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library
is restricted in certain countries either by patÂents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
copyright holder who places the Library under
this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those counÂtries, so that distribution is permitted only in or
among countries not thus excluded. In such
case, this License incorporates the limitation as
if written in the body of this License.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish
revised and/or new versions of the Lesser GenÂeral Public License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present
version, but may differ in detail to address new
problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version
number. If the Library specifies a version
number of this License which applies to it and
"any later version", you have the option of folÂlowing the terms and conditions either of that
version or of any later version published by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Library does
not specify a license version number, you may
choose any version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the
Library into other free programs whose distriÂbution conditions are incompatible with these,
75
Appendix
write to the author to ask for permission. For
software which is copyrighted by the Free SoftÂware Foundation, write to the Free Software
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions
for this. Our decision will be guided by the two
goals of preserving the free status of all derivaÂtives of our free software and of promoting the
sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLIÂCABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARÂTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILÂITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERÂFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU.
SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICÂING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLIÂCABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER
PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBÂUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIAÂBLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEÂQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE
OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSÂTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE
OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New
Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to
be of the greatest possible use to the public, we
recommend making it free software that everyÂone can redistribute and change. You can do so
by permitting redistribution under these terms
(or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordiÂnary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following
notices to the library. It is safest to attach them
to the start of each source file to most effecÂtively convey the exclusion of warranty; and
each file should have at least the "copyright"
line and a pointer to where the full notice is
found.
<one line to give the library's name and a brief
idea of what it does.>

This library is distributed in the hope that it will
be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY;
without even the implied warranty of MERÂCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICUL AR

Also add information on how to contact you by
electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work
as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign
a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necesÂsary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

ALG
Application Layer Gateway
NAT control mechanism of a router.
Many routers with integrated NAT use
ALG. ALG lets the data packets in a VoIP

Client
Application that requests a service

Codec
Coder/decoder
Codec is a procedure that digitises and
compresses analogue voice before it is
sent via the Internet and decodes –
i.e.translates into analogue voice – digÂital data when voice packets are
received. There are different Codecs
that vary, for instance, according to the
level of compression.
Both parties involved in the telephone
connection (caller/sender and recipiÂent) must use the same Codec. This is
negotiated between the sender and the
recipient when establishing a connecÂtion.
The choice of Codec is a compromise
between voice quality, transmission
speed and the necessary bandwidth. A
high level of compression, for example,
means that the bandwidth required for
each voice connection is low. However,
it also means that the time needed to
compress/decompress the data is
greater, which increases execution
time for data in the network and thus
impairs voice quality. The time required
increases the delay between the sender
speaking and the recipient hearing
what has been said.
78
Glossary
Consultation call
You are making a call. With a consultaÂtion call, you interrupt the conversation
briefly to establish a connection to
another participant. If you terminate
the connection to this participant
immediately, then this was an enquiry
call. If you switch to and fro between
the first and second participants, it is
called Tog gli ng.
CW
See Call waiting.
D
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Internet protocol that regulates the
automatic assignment of IP addresses
to Network subscribers. The protocol
is made available in the network by a
server. A DHCP server can e.g. be a
router.
The phone contains a DHCP client. A
router that contains a DHCP server can
assign the IP addresses for the phone
automatically from a defined address
block. This dynamic assignment means
that several Network subscribers can
share one IP address, although they use
it alternately and not simultaneously.
With some routers you can specify that
the IP address for the phone is never
changed.
Displayed name
VoIP provider feature. You can specify
any name that is to be shown to the
other party call instead of your phone
number.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
DMZ describes a part of a network that
is outside the firewall.
A DMZ is set up, as it were, between a
network you want to protect (e.g. a
LAN) and a non-secure network (e.g.
the Internet). A DMZ permits unreÂstr ic ted ac cess fr om th e I nter ne t to on ly
one or a few network components,
while the other network components
remain secure behind the firewall.
DNS
Domain Name System
Hierarchical system that permits the
assignment of IP addresses to Domain names that are easier to note. This
assignment has to be managed by a
local DNS server in each (W)LAN. The
local DNS server determines the IP
address, if necessary by enquiring of
superordinate DNS servers and other
local DNS servers in the Internet.
You can specify the IP address of the
primary/secondary DNS server.
See also: DynDNS.
Domain name
Name of one (or several) Web server(s)
on the Internet (e.g. Siemens-Home).
The domain name is assigned to the relÂevant IP address by DNS.
DSCP
Differentiated Service Code Point
See Quality of Service (QoS).
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line
Data transfer technology which allows
Internet access at e.g. 1.5 Mbps over
conventional phone lines. RequireÂments: DSL modem and the appropriÂate service offered by the Internet proÂvider.

DynDNS
Dynamic DNS
DNS is used to assign domain names
and IP addresses. For Dynamic IP Addresses this service is now
enhanced with "Dynamic DNS". This

Wired LAN.
F
Firewall
You can use a firewall to protect your
network against unauthorised external
access. This involves combining various

fixed network. As there is little comÂpression, the necessary bandwidth is
approx. 64 Kbit/s per voice connection,
but the delay caused by coding/decodÂing is only 0.125 ms.
"a law" describes the European standÂard and "µ law" describes the North

G.726 delivers a good voice quality. It is
inferior to the quality with Codec G.711
but better than with G.729.
G.729A/B
Standard for a Codec.
The voice quality is rather less with
G.729A/B. As a result of the high level

rate and wiring.
Infrastructure network
Network with central structure:
all Network subscribers communicate
via a central Router.
Internet
Global WAN. A series of protocols have
been defined for exchanging data,
known by the name TCP/IP.
Every Network subscribers is identifiaÂble via its IP address. DNS assigns a
Domain name to the IP address.
Important services on the Internet
include the World Wide Web (WWW),
Email, file transfer and discussion
forums.
Internet Service Provider
Enables access to the Internet for a fee.
IP (Internet Protocol)
TCP/IP protocol on the Internet. IP is
responsible for the addressing of subÂscribers in a Network using IP addresses, and routes data from the
sender to the recipient. IP determines
the paths (routing) along which the
data packets travel.
IP address
A unique address for a network compoÂnent within a network on the basis of
the TCP/IP protocols (e.g. LAN, InterÂnet). On the Internet, domain names
are usually assigned instead of IP
addresses. DNS assigns the correÂsponding IP address to the domain
name.
The IP address consists of four parts
(decimal numbers between 0 and 255)
separated by points (e.g.
230.94.233.2).
The IP address is made up of the net-
work number and the number of the
Network subscribers (e.g. phone).
Depending on the Subnet mask, the
front one, two or three parts make up
of the network number and the rest of
the IP address addresses the network
components. The network number of
all the components in any one network
must be identical.
IP addresses can be assigned automatiÂcally with DHCP (dynamic IP addresses)
or manually (static IP addresses).
See also: DHCP.
IP pool range
Range of IP addresses that the DHCP
server can use to assign dynamic IP
addresses.
L
LAN
Local Area Network
Network with a restricted physical
range. A LAN can be wireless (WLAN)
and/or wired.
Local IP Address
The local or private IP address is the
address for a network component in
the local network (LAN). The network
operator can assign any address he or
she wants. Devices that act as a link
from a local network to the Internet
(gateway or router) have a public and a
private IP address.
See also: IP address.
Local SIP Port
See SIP port/Local SIP port.

Glossary
M
MAC address
Media Access Control Address
Hardware address by means of which
each network device (e.g. network
card, switch, phone) can be uniquely
identified worldwide. It is composed of
six parts (hexadecimal numbers), sepaÂrated by a "-" (e.g. 00-90-65-44-00-3A).
The MAC address is assigned by the
manufacturer and cannot be changed.
Mbps
Million bits per second
Unit of the transmission speed in a netÂwork.
MRU
Maximum Receive Unit
Defines the maximum user data volÂume within a data packet.
MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit
Defines the maximum length of a data
packet that can be carried over the netÂwork at a time.
N
NAT
Network Address Translation
Method for converting (private) IP addresses to one or more (public)
IP addresses. NAT enables the IP
addresses of Network subscribers
(e.g. VoIP telephones) in a LAN to be
concealed behind a shared IP address
for the Router on the Internet.
VoIP telephones behind a NAT router
cannot be reached by VoIP servers (on
account of the private IP address). In
order to "get around" NAT, it is possible
to use (alternatively) ALG in the router, STUN in the VoIP telephone, or for the
VoIP provider to use an Outbound proxy.
If an outbound proxy is made available
you must allow for this in the VoIP setÂtings for your phone.
Network
Group of devices. Devices can be conÂnected in either wired or wireless
mode.
Networks can also differ in range and
structure:
– Range: local networks (LAN) or
wide-area networks (WAN)
– Structure: Infrastructure network
or Ad-hoc network
Network subscribers
Devices and computers that are conÂnected to each other in a network, e.g.
servers, PCs and phones.
O
Outbound proxy
Alternative NAT control mechanism to
STUN and ALG.
Outbound proxies are implemented by
the VoIP provider in Firewall/NAT enviÂronments as an alternative to SIP Proxy Server. They control data traffic
through the firewall.
Outbound proxy and STUN servers
should not be used simultaneously.
See also: STUN and NAT.
P
PIN
Personal Identification Number
Protects against unauthorised use.
When the PIN is activated a number
combination has to be entered in order
to access a protected area.
You can protect your base station conÂfiguration data with a system PIN (4Âdigit number combination).
Port
Data is exchanged between two appliÂcations in a Network across a port.
83
Glossary
Port Forwarding
The Internet gateway (e.g. your router)
forwards data packets from the Inter-net that are directed to a certain Port to
the port concerned. This allows servers
in the LAN to offer services on the
Internet without you needing a public
IP address.
Port Number
Indicates a specific application of a
Network subscribers. Depending on
the setting in the LAN, the port
number is permanently assigned or
else it is newly assigned with each
access.
The combination of IP address/Port
number identifies the recipient or
sender of a data packet within a netÂwork.
Pre-dialling
See Block dialling.
Private IP Address
See Public IP address.
Protocol
Describes the agreements for commuÂnicating within a Network. It contains
rules for opening, administering and
closing a connection, about data forÂmats, time frames and possible error
handling.
Proxy/Proxy Server
Computer program that controls the
exchange of data between Client and
Server in computer networks. If the
phone sends a query to the VoIP server,
the proxy acts as a server towards the
phone and as a client towards the
server. A proxy is addressed via the
IP address/Domain name and Port.
Public IP address
The public IP address is the address for
a network component on the Internet.
It is assigned by the Internet Service
Provider. Devices that act as a link from
a local network to the Internet (gateÂway or router) have a public and a local
IP address.
See also: IP address, NAT
Q
Quality of Service (QoS)
Describes the Quality of Service in comÂmunication networks. Differentiations
are made between various Quality of
Service classes.
QoS influences the flow of data packets
on the Internet e.g. by prioritising data
packets, bandwidth reservation and
packet optimisation.
In VoIP networks, QoS influences the
voice quality. If the whole infrastrucÂture (router, network server etc.) has
QoS, the voice quality is better, i.e.
fewer delays, less echoing, less crackÂling.
R
RAM
Random Access Memory
Memory in which you have reading and
storage rights. Such items as melodies
and screen pictures are saved in the
RAM after being loaded onto the phone
via the Web configurator.
Registrar
The registrar manages the Network
subscribers current IP addresses.
When you register with your VoIP proÂvider, your current IP address is saved
on the registrar. This means you can
also be reached when on the move.
84
Glossary
Ringback when the call is not answered
= CCNR (Completion of Calls No Reply).
If a participant does not respond when
called, a caller can arrange an autoÂmatic ringback. As soon as the destinaÂtion phone has completed a call and is
free again the caller is rung back. This
feature must be supported by the
exchange. The ringback request is
automatically cancelled after about
2 hours (depending on the VoIP proÂvider).
Ringback when the number is busy
= CCBS (Completion of Calls to Busy
Subscriber). If a caller hears the busy
tone, he or she can activate the ringÂback function. As soon as the connecÂtion is free the caller is rung back. As
soon as the caller lifts his receiver the
connection is made automatically.
ROM
Read Only Memory
A type of memory that can only be
read, as opposed to RAM which can be
both read and written.
Router
Routes data packets within a network
and between different networks via the
quickest route. Can connect Ethernet
network and WLAN. Can be the gateÂway to the Internet.
Routing
Routing is the transmission of data
packets to another subscriber in your
network. On its way to the recipient,
the data packet is sent from one router
to the next until it reaches its destinaÂtion.
If data packets were not forwarded in
this way, a network like the Internet
would not be possible. Routing conÂnects the individual network to this gloÂbal system.
A router is a part of this system; it transÂmits data packets both within a netÂwork and from one network to the
next. Transmission of data from one
network to another is performed on the
basis of a common protocol.
RTP
Realtime Transport Protocol
Global standard for transferring audio
and video data. Often used in conjuncÂtion with UDP. In this case, RTP packets
are embedded in UDP packets.
RTP port
(Local) Port by means of which voice
data packets are sent and received for
VoIP.
S
Server
Makes a service available to other NetÂwork subscribers (Clients). The term
can indicate a computer/PC or an appliÂcation. A server is addressed via the
IP address/Domain name and Port.
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
Signalling protocol independent of
voice communication. Used for estabÂlishing and ending a call. It is also posÂsible to define parameters for voice
transmission.
SIP Address
See URI.
SIP port/Local SIP port
(Local) Port by means of which SIP sigÂnalling data is sent and received for
VoIP.
SIP Provider
See VoIP provider.
SIP Proxy Server
IP address of your VoIP provider's gateÂway server.
Static IP address
A static IP address is assigned to a netÂwork component manually during netÂwork configuration. Unlike a Dynamic IP Address, a static IP address never
changes.
85
Glossary
STUN
Simple Transversal of UDP over NAT
NAT control mechanism.
STUN is a data protocol for VoIP tele-
phones. STUN replaces the private IP
address in the data packets of the VoIP
telephone with the public address of
the secure private network. To control
data transfer, a STUN server is also
required on the Internet. STUN cannot
be implemented by symmetric NATs.
See also: ALG, Firewall, NAT, Outbound proxy.
Subnet
Segment of a Network.
Subnet mask
IP addresses consist of a fixed network
number and a variable subscriber
number. The network number is identiÂcal for all Network subscribers. The
proportion of the IP address made up of
the network number is determined in
the subnet mask. For the subnet mask
255.255.255.0, for example, the first
three parts of the IP address are the netÂwork number and the last part the subÂscriber number.
Symmetric NAT
A symmetric NAT assigns different
external IP addresses and port numbers
to the same internal IP addresses and
port numbers – depending on the
external target address.
T
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol
Transport Protocol. Session-based
transmission protocol: it sets up, moniÂtors and terminates a connection
between sender and recipient for transÂporting data.
TLS
Transport Layer Security
Protocol for encrypting data transmisÂsions on the Internet. TLS is a superorÂdinated Transport Protocol.
Toggling
Toggling allows you to switch between
two callers or between a conference
call and an individual caller without
allowing the waiting caller to listen in.
Transmission rate
Speed at which data is transmitted in
the WAN or LAN. The transmission rate
is measured in data units per unit of
time (Mbit/s).
Transport Protocol
Controls data transport between comÂmunication partners (applications).
See also: UDP, TCP, TLS.
U
UDP
User Datagram Protocol
Transport Protocol. Unlike TCP, UDP is
a non session-based protocol. It does
not establish a fixed connection. The
data packets (datagrams) are sent as
Broadcast. The recipient is solely
responsible for making sure the data is
received. The sender is not notified
about whether it is received.
URI
Uniform Resource Identifier
Character string used to identify
resources (e.g. Email recipient, http://
siemens.com, files).
On the Internet URIs are used as a
unique identification for resources.
URIs are also described as an SIP
address.
URIs can be entered in the phone as a
number. By dialling a URI you can call
an Internet subscriber with VoIP equipÂment.
86
URL
Universal Resource Locator
Globally unique address of a domain on
the Internet.
A URL is a subtype of URI. URLs identify
a resource by its location) on the Inter-net. For historical reasons the term is
often used as a synonym for URI.
User ID
See User recognition.
User recognition
Name/number combination for access
e.g. to your VoIP account.
V
Voice Codec
See Codec.
VoI P
Voice over Internet Protocol
Calls are no longer established and
transmitted via the telephone network,
but via the Internet (or other IP netÂworks).
VoIP provider
A VoIP, SIP or Gateway Provider is an
Internet service provider that provides
a Gateway for Internet telephony. As
the phone works with the SIP standard,
your provider must support the SIP
standard.
The provider routes calls from VoIP to
the telephone network (analogue,
ISDN and mobile radio) and vice versa.
W
WAN
Wide Area Network
Wide-area network that is unrestricted
in terms of area (e.g. Internet).
