Gigaset C470 IP/C475 IP – Morethanjusta telephone
Gigaset C470 IP/C475 IP – More than just a telephone
Your phone lets you make calls both via the fixed line network and (cost effectively) via the Internet (VoIP) without using a PC. – Your phone can do much more besides:
u Press a button each time you make a call to indicate whether you want to call via the
fixed line network or the Internet (page 31).
u Register up to six handsets on your base station. With your base station, you can simul-
taneously 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 144).
u You can also use the VoIP accounts with different providers for cost control purposes.
When dialling, specify the VoIP connection/the VoIP account you want to use for its lower rates (page 32).
u Setting dialling plans for phone numbers or area codes enables you to automate the
selection of the most cost-effective VoIP connection (page 149).
u Determine which of your phone numbers should be answered by the Gigaset C475 IP
answer machine (page 145).
u Use Gigaset.net for VoIP calls. Connect your phone to the mains power supply and the
Internet, and enjoy free phone calls on Gigaset.net – without making any further set­tings (page 41).
u Configure the phone connection for VoIP without a PC. Your phone's connection assist-
ant 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 (page 19).
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 (page 125).
u Use instant messaging on your handset. Go online and see which of your messenger
contacts (buddies) are also online. Exchange SMS messages with your buddies or simply give them a call (page 86). A free messenger account is already set up for you on the Gigaset.net Jabber server (page 153).
u Let your phone tell you, without requiring a PC, about new e-mail messages in your
mailbox (page 83). Use your handset to delete old e-mail messages from your mailbox.
u Make sure your phone is always up-to-date. Keep yourself informed about firmware
updates on the Internet and download them onto your phone (page 117).
u You can reduce the transmission power by activating eco mode (page 25).
Your Gigaset C470 IP/C475 IP has a protected operating system that offers increased security against viruses from the Internet.
Enjoy using your new phone!

VoIP – making calls via theInternet
VoIP – making calls via the Internet
With VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), your calls are not made via a fixed connection as in 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 mobile 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 mobile phone network.
To be able to use VoIP, you need the following:
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.siemens.com/gigasetcustomercare Once you are on the Web page, open the FAQ page and select "Gigaset C470 IP" or
"Gigaset C475 IP". Search for "Router", for example.
u Access to the services of a VoIP provider. You can open up to six accounts with different
VoIP providers.

First steps

Making settings for VoIP telephony

As soon as the cable connecting the phone and router is plugged in, the key lights up on the front of the base station (paging key).
You can now establish VoIP connections within Gigaset.net (page 41).
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 mobile phone network, you need the services of a VoIP provider who supports the VoIP SIP standard.
Precondition: You have registered with such a VoIP provider (e.g. via your PC) and set up at least one VoIP account.
The following phone settings are necessary in order for you to use VoIP. You can obtain the following information from your VoIP provider:
u Your user name with the VoIP provider, if this is required by the VoIP provider u You r regi s tratio n name u Your password with the VoIP provider u VoIP provider general settings
The connection assistant will help you with the settings.
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.
You will need to set the VoIP configuration with the auto-configuration code via the Web configurator on the base station (see page 125 "Connect the PC with the telephone's Web configurator" and page 134 "Configuring the VoIP connection")
18
First steps
Making settings for VoIP telephony
Starting the connection assistant
Precondition: The base station is connected to the mains power supply and a router. Your router is connected to the Internet (page 17).
Tip: Leave VoIP activated as the default connection for your telephone (default setting, page 117). The telephone then attempts to establish a connection directly to your VoIP pro­vider's server after the connection assistant is closed. If incorrect/incomplete information means that the connection cannot be established, messages will be displayed (page 22).
Please note:
Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assi gnmen t of the I P address. In order for you r router to " rec­ognise" the phone, dynamic IP address assignment must also be activated on the router, i.e. the router's DHCP server is activated. Turn to page 121 to find out how to assign your phone a static IP address if necessary.
As soon as the handset battery is sufficiently charged, the message key f on the handset will flash (approx. 20 minutes after you have put the handset in the charging cradle). Press the message key f to start the connection assistant.
