Operating the base station from the handset

The SX303isdn and SX353isdn or CX203isdn und CX253isdn base stations support the S44, S1, SL1, C34, C32, C1 and C2 handsets. In conjunction with a Gigaset handset, your base station offers you a variety of features. You can use a particular range of these features depending on the handset you are using.

You can find operating instructions for your handsets on the enclosed CD or on the Internet at www.siemens.com/gigaset.

Using the example of "Assigning a ringtone melody to an MSN", operation of the base station from the following handsets is described below:

◆ S44,

◆ S1 and SL1,

◆ C34,

◆ C1, C2 and C32.

The meaning of the symbols used and information about operation of your handset can be found in the corresponding operating instructions.

Preparing the base station for use

Operating the base station from a S44 handset

The central operating element of the S44 handset is the control key p, which has four direction arrows and the associated symbols. Pressing the various icons (up, down, right, or left) opens a different function. In the operating instructions, the side you need to press is marked with a black triangle, e.g. key v for right = Open menu.

Preparing the base station for use

Preparing the base station for use – Getting started wizard

A few settings are necessary before using your base station. The Getting started wizard (page 15) is designed to help you with this. It can be called up at any time using the display on your base station (page 15) or using an added=feature S44, S1 or SL1 handset (see handset operating instructions). The following settings can be set one after the other.

◆ Date and time

◆ Show/hide answering machine 1… 3 (on CX253 or SX353isdn)

◆ Find out/enter the MSN for your connection

◆ Set the device type for the connected device

◆ Set the receive MSN

◆ Set the send MSN

◆ Outside line code (when using a PABX)

Alternatively, you can make settings on your base station using a PC (see operating instructions for PC software).

Operating instructions for the S44, S1, SL1, C34, C1, C2 and C32 handsets can be found on the enclosed CD and on the Internet at www.siemens.com/service

What is an MSN?

MSN = Multiple Subscriber Number. You can apply for up to ten different telephone numbers for one multiple ISDN connection. An MSN is one of the phone numbers assigned to you without an area code.

You telephone uses the MSN entirely as you require. The following differentiation is made:

◆ Receive MSN: Phone numbers you may be called on. You can assign the receive

MSNs to specific internal users (terminals) (page 94). Incoming calls are only forwarded to the terminals to which the relevant MSN has been assigned. Terminals can be e.g. handsets or answering machines.

◆ Send MSN: Phone numbers that are identified to the person you are calling. The

network operator calculates charges based on the send MSN's. You can assign a fixed send MSN to each internal user (page 94).

Internal users

You r base station is assigned the fixed internal number 10. Possible internal users are:

INT11 – INT: Handsets

INT41 – INT48: Data modules

INT91 – INT93: Integrated answering machine

Example of how to assign an MSN:

You have applied for four MSN's, two for business use (MSN1, MSN2) and two for private purposes (MSN3, MSN4). Four handsets are connected to a base station. Two handsets (Int.11 and 12) and the answering machine AM 91 are intended for business use, and

Ring delay

When ring delay is activated, an incoming call is signalled on the base station after a delay (e.g. after 5 ring cycles – the number is adjustable). Ring delay can be set individually for each internal subscriber and for each receive MSN (page 103).

In the example, an incoming call to MSN1 is only to be signalled on handset Int.11 if Int.12 does not answer the call. To achieve this, activate a ring delay for Int.11 and MSN1 (e. g. 5 ring cycles). The call for MSN1 is signalled directly on Int.12, but is only signalled on Int.11 after the 5th ring cycle.
