Safety precautions

Warning:

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use. Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.

Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base station.

Use only recommended rechargeable batteries (page 121) of the same type! Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.

‹

Insert rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity, and use them according to this user guide (polarity symbols can be seen in the handset's battery compartment, page 8).

The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when the handsfree function is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.

The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.

Do not install the base station in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and base station are not splashproof (page 112).

Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, e.g. paint shops.

If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user guide.

All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from general household waste using the sites designated by local authorities. If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out rubbish bin, the product is subject to European Directive 2002/96/EC.

The appropriate disposal and separate collection of used equipment serve to prevent potential harm to the environment and to health. They are a precondition for the re-use and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.

For further information on disposing of your used equipment, please contact your local authority, your refuse collection service or the dealer you purchased the product from.

Please note:

When the keypad lock is active you cannot even call emergency numbers! Not all of the functions described in this manual are available in all countries.

Gigaset CE 460 IP R – more than just a telephone

Your Gigaset CE 460 IP R is not only a router and phone in one device that you can use to make cost-effective calls via the Internet (VoIP - Voice over IP) and with which you can connect other participants in your local network (e.g. PCs) to the Internet via the same Internet account;

your Gigaset CE 460 IP R can do much more:

u Multiline: Register up to six handsets to your base station and set up an individual VoIP

account with its own phone number for each member of your family (up to six accounts with different VoIP providers). Your phone can then be reached via up to six different phone numbers, which you can assign to the individual handsets. If a member of your family is called on their number, only their handset will ring.

u Use Gigaset.net for VoIP calls. Connect your base station to the mains power supply and

Internet and make calls – without making any further VoIP settings – to other Gigaset.net subscribers free of charge (page 34).

u Use the base station router wizard. When you are putting your base station into service,

the wizard guides you step-by-step through the configuration of your Internet connection (page 15).

u Configure the VoIP connection directly on your handset. The connection assistant

downloads general data about a VoIP provider from the Internet and guides you through entering your person al data (first accoun t). This makes it eas y for you to star t us ing VoIP (page 18).

u Make further settings on your PC, if necessary. The phone has two Web interfaces

(router and phone Web configurator), which you can access via the Web browser on your PC (page 85).

u Use your base station's firewall and NAT (Network Address Translation). This will allow

you to protect your local network from unauthorised access from the Internet.

u Assign individual passwords (a system PIN and router password) to protect your base

station's phones and routers against unauthorised access (page 56, page 82).

u Save up to 100 phone numbers on your handset (page 40). u Transfer your Outlook contacts from the PC onto your handset. Or back up the handset

directory on your PC (page 103).

u You can programme the keys of your handset with important phone numbers. The

phone number is then dialled by simply pressing the respective key (page 41).

u Keep your hands free when making a call. Use the handsfree function on your handset

(page 30) or use the convenient headset to make calls (page 22, accessories: not included in the scope of delivery).

u Keep your base station up to date. Find out about firmware updates on the Internet

and download these to your base station (page 58, page 106).

u Use your handset as an alarm clock (page 55).

Your Gigaset CE 460 IP R has a protected operating system that offers increased security against viruses from the Internet.

Enjoy using your new telephone!

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 Gigaset CE 460 IP R:

u You can make cost-effective calls at high voice quality with subscribers on the Internet,

the fixed 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 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. a DSL modem, which you can use to connect your base station's

router to the Internet, and an Internet account.

u Access to the services of a VoIP provider. Open up to six accounts with different VoIP

providers.

Base station components

The Gigaset CE 460 IP R base station includes two independent components: the base station router and base station phone, also frequently described as the router and phone

in the text that follows. These components must be configured and managed separately from one another.

Base station router

u You can make router settings for the Internet connection and local network, and man-

age your router on your PC using the router Web configurator (see page 69).

u You can protect the router and its settings via an individual password. This password will

not allow access to the base station phone settings.

u The router is supplied with the following standard settings:

– Private IP address: 192.168.1.1 – IP address block: 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.253 – DHCP server enabled with IP address block: 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150 – Password: 0000 (4x zero)

VoIP – making calls via the Internet

Base station phone

u You can make phone or VoIP telephony settings with the handset or on your PC via the

phone Web configurator (see page 85).

u The phone settings are protected with a system PIN. u The phone is supplied with the following standard settings for connection to the router.

– DHCP client: enabled – IP address: 192.168.1.150 – Standard gateway and DNS server: 192.168.1.1 – System PIN: 0000

An existing connection is set between the router and phone by default.

System requirements for the PC you want to use to configure your base station

u Ethernet socket u Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher, or Mozilla

Firefox version 1.0.4 or higher

Please note:

To ensure that you can always be reached via the Internet, your base station router has been set so that it is continuously connected to the Internet.

Making settings for VoIP telephony on the base station phone First steps

No connection to the Internet/VoIP server

If one of the following messages is displayed instead of the internal name after the connection assistant is closed, then either a fault has occurred or your information was incomplete:

Server not accessible!

The phone has no connection to the Internet.

¤ Check the cable connection between the base station and the modem/Internet connec-

tion.

¤ Check your router's Internet status:

¤ Start the router Web configurator (page 69).

The Internet Status is displayed on the start screen. If necessary, check the access data stored in the router (page 71).

¤ Check whether the IP address settings for the base station phone and base station router

are compatible. Please note the following: – The IP address for the phone must belong to the address block for the router. For

example:the first three parts of the IP addresses for the phone and the router in subnet mask 255.255.255.0 must be identical.

– The IP address for the phone must not be assigned to any other LAN subscriber. If the

DHCP server for the router is enabled, then no static IP address can belong to the address block that is reserved for dynamically assigning IP addresses (default setting:

192.168.1.100 – 192.168.1.150)

– If the phone is to be dynamically assigned an IP address, then the router's DHCP

server has to be activated.

¤ Find the phone's IP address via the handset menu:

§Menu§ ¢ Settings ¢ Base ¢ Local Network ¢ (enter system PIN) ¢ IP Address

¤ Start the phone Web configurator with the IP address (page 65).

If no connection can be established:

¤ change the settings on the router (activate DHCP server, change DHCP settings, see

page 80) or

¤ activate dynamic assignment of address to the phone (page 60) or ¤ change the phone's (fixed) IP address (page 60).

Recommendation:

You should restart your base station and the connected devices (PC) as soon as you make changes in your LAN to IP addresses or address blocks. During the restart you should start the base station first (page 83) and then the connected devices (PC). This will deactivate old IP addresses and force new dynamic IP addresses to be assigned/requested.

First steps Belt clip and headset

SIP registration failed!

u Your personal data for registering with the VoIP provider may have been entered incom-

pletely or incorrectly.

¤ Check your entries for Username, Authentication Name and Authentication Password. In

particular, check your use of upper and lower case. To do this, open the following menu on your handset:

§Menu§ ¢ Settings ¢ Base ¢ Telephony ¢ Vo IP

u The server address for the VoIP server has not yet been entered, or has been entered

incorrectly.

¤ Start the phone Web configurator. ¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Connections. ¤ Edit the server address where necessary.

Please note:

– STUN (Simple Transversal of UDP over NAT) should always be deactivated on your base station

phone (default setting), and a port number from the block 5056 – 5071 should be set for the local SIP port (default 5060).

Check these settings if you cannot hear the other caller or if you cannot be reached. You can set STUN mode (page 94) and the local SIP port (page 102) via the phone Web configurator.

– If por t forwarding is activated on your router for the ports that have been registered as the SIP port

(default 5060) and the RTP port (default 5004), it makes sense to assign the phone a static IP address (otherwise you may not be able to hear the other party during VoIP calls), see page 59. Please note that the IP address and subnet mask depend on the router's address block. You must also enter the standard gateway and DNS server. The IP address for the router is generally entered here.

You will find other messages and possible measures in the "Questions and answers" section on page 113.

Belt clip and headset

By using a belt clip and headset (optional) you can easily make your handset a constant companion.

Attaching the belt clip

There are notches for attaching the belt clip on the side of the handset at approximately 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.

Connection socket for headset

You can use headsets with jack connectors. The following models have been tested and are therefore recommended: HAMA Plantronics M40, MX100 and MX150.

The transmission quality of other models cannot be guaranteed.

¤ Click Set to apply the settings. ¤ Below is an explanation of the information that you must make dependent on

Connection:

Connection – entering access data for the Internet connection

Connection = PPPoE

The protocol PPPoE (Point-to-Point-Protocol over Ethernet) is used by many Internet providers. It allows several subscribers in a local network to access the Internet via a single Internet account. The Internet provider assigns your router a password and, if necessary, a user name.

User Name

If you have received a user name from your Internet provider, enter this name here. Not all Internet providers require a user name. If this is the case, leave this field empty.

Password, Confirm new password

In the Password field, enter the password agreed with the Internet provider and repeat it in the Confirm new password field.

MTU The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) defines the maximum length of a data

packet that can be carried over the Internet at one time. The standard value is 1492 bytes. Depending on the provider, there may be restrictions for the packet size. You should then modify the value accordingly.

Please note:

For the Internet connection via PPPoE, your router is set so that it is permanently connected with the Internet. This means that you can always be reached for VoIP calls.

Connection = Static IP Address

A static IP address is assigned to the router. This is permanently assigned to your router as a public IP address (page 142). The router needs the following data for the Internet access:

IP Address, Subnet Mask

Enter the static IP address and subnet mask given to the router by your Internet provider. If the base station router is connected to the Internet via another local network (LAN), then enter the private IP address for your router in this LAN and the subnet mask for the LAN.

Gateway Enter the IP address of the gateway that connects your router with the Internet.

If the connection is via another LAN, enter the private IP address for the router or gateway that is used to connect this LAN with the Internet here.

Connection – entering access data for the Internet connection

Connection = Dynamic IP Address

The router is assigned an Internet address dynamically. This IP address is only temporarily assigned to the router. It can change. No more data must be entered for this connection type.

This connection type is frequently used for Internet connection via another LAN. The following data is displayed on the Web page:

IP Address, Subnet Mask

The IP address that is currently assigned to the router, and the corresponding subnet mask.

Gateway The IP address for the router or gateway computer that connects the router to

the Internet.

DHCP Server

The IP address server that assigns the IP address to the router.

Connection = PPTP

The PPTP protocol (Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol) allows a secure connection to a remote private network (e.g. from home to your company network) via the Internet. Your router is part of a Vir tua l Priv ate Netwo rk (VP N). The data is sent via th e Inte rnet i n a secure and encrypted connection (tunnel).

The following data is required for access to the remote network:

IP Address, Subnet Mask

Enter the IP address and subnet mask given to the router by your Internet provider.

Gateway Enter the IP address of the gateway that connects your router with the Internet. VPN Server Enter the IP address of the VPN server (Virtual Private Network). The VPN server

is the gateway to the remote network. Your Internet provider will supply you with the IP address.

User Name

Enter the user identification that your router must enter when logging on to the remote network.

Password, Confirm new password

In the Password field, enter your registration password and repeat it in the

Confirm new password field.

MTU The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) defines the maximum length of a data

Setting up the Firewall

Your router's integrated firewall monitors and limits the exchange of data between subscribers of your local network and the Internet. Activating the firewall does not affect the router's performance.

When the firewall is activated you can:

¤ protect your network against hacker attacks, ¤ restrict Internet access for individual PCs in your local network (IP Filter, MAC Filter).

The firewall functions are activated and configured by default. Do the following to change the settings for the firewall:

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ Firewall. ¤ Highlight On or Off in the Firewall field to activate or deactivate the firewall. ¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

Setting up NAT

MAC Filter

When the firewall is activated, you can restrict access to the Internet for certain PCs and PC applications based on their MAC address.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ Firewall ¢ MAC Filter. ¤ In the fields for MAC Address, enter the MAC address for the PC that you do not want to

have access to the Internet and click on Add.

¤ Repeat the previous step if there are further PCs that you do not want to allow access to

the Internet.

¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

Please note:

– Deactivate the Enabled field to give a specified PC temporary access. – Click Delete to remove a PC from the list.

Setting up NAT

NAT (Network Address Translation) allows several subscribers (PCs) in their local network to access the Internet via a public IP address. NAT also protects the subscribers in their local network against direct unauthorised access from the Internet.

They can, however, forward requests from the Internet specifically to PCs or applications in their local network if they use special applications, or if they operate a server in their local network (Port Forwarding / Exposed Host).

Activating/deactivating NAT:

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ Address Translation (NAT). ¤ Highlight On or Off in the Address Translation (NAT) field to activate or deactivate NAT. ¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

If NAT is activated, the following functions are displayed in the navigation tree for the NAT configuration, and these can be used to control communication between the local network and the Internet:

u Port Forwarding (page 76), u Port Mapping (page 77), u Exposed Host (page 77) and u UPnP (page 78)

Setting up NAT

Port Forwarding

Port forwarding enables you to make services from applications in your local network available to Internet users as well. The router can use a specific port to automatically forward incoming requests from the Internet to a PC in the local network and thus set up a virtual server, for example to publish your Internet page on your own Web server.

Internet services are generally addressed via defined port numbers. The router requires a mapping table for the port numbers in order to divert the service requests to a PC that actually provides the service. You can create these on this Web page.

Precondition: NAT is activated.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ Address Translation (NAT)

¢ Port Forwarding.

¤ Select a service from the Predefined Applications list. ¤ In the Local IP Address column, enter the private IP address for the PC to which the

requests should be forwarded and click Add.

¤ Repeat the previous step as necessary for further port forwarding.

If the required service is not in the list, you will have to enter the port forwarding manually.

¤ Select the protocol used by the service from the Protocol list. ¤ Enter the port number for the service under Public Port. ¤ Under Local Port enter the number ports on the PC to which the service requests should

be forwarded.

¤ Enter the IP address for the PC in the local network in the Local IP Address field. ¤ Repeat the previous step as necessary for further port forwarding. ¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

Please note:

– Deactivate the Enabled field to temporarily deactivate the port forwarding. – Click Delete to remove a forwarding action from the list. – If you want operate your base station phone's Web configurator from a different network

remotely, you have to forward the HTTP port 80 (Public Port) to the port 80 (Local Port) of the base station phone, and permit remote management on the phone Web configurator (page 88).

Setting up NAT

Port Mapping

Port mapping is essentially an automatic form of port forwarding. It involves ports being released on the router for a PC in the local network, and the PC "manages" these ports itself. The router allows messages received by these ports through in both directions.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ Address Translation (NAT)

¢ Port Mapping.

Precondition: NAT is activated.

¤ In the Server IP fields, enter the local IP address for the PC in the local network. ¤ Enter a port, a port area (e.g. 2345 - 2678) and/or a series of ports (6006, 8005) in Port

Mappings.

Example of an entry in Port Mappings: 2345 - 2678, 6006, 8005

¤ Click Add. ¤ Repeat the previous step if necessary. ¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

Please note:

– Deactivate the Enabled field to temporarily deactivate the settings for a PC. – Click Delete to remove a PC from the list.

Exposed Host

If NAT is activated, you can set up a PC in your local network as an exposed host. Your router will then forward all incoming data traffic from the Internet to this client. You can then, for example, operate your own Web server on one of the PCs in your local network and make it accessible to Internet users.

Please note: Exposed host means that your local PC is directly visible on the Internet, and is therefore exposed to particular dangers (e.g. from hacker attacks). You should only activate this function if absolutely necessary (e.g. to operate a Web server) and if other functions (e.g. port forwarding) are not adequate. In this case you should take appropriate measures on the clients concerned.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ Address Translation (NAT)

¢ Exposed Host.

¤ Highlight On or Off in the Exposed Host field. ¤ If you activate the function, enter the local IP address for the PC that you want to release

as exposed host in the Local IP Address field.

¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

DNS – entering the DNS server

UPnP

If you activate UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) on your router, then PCs in your local network that have UPnP installed in their operating system can offer their own services on the Internet, and also automatically use services offered on the Internet.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ Address Translation (NAT)

¢ UPnP.

¤ Highlight On or Off in the UPnP field. ¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

DNS – entering the DNS server

DNS (Domain Name System) is a decentralised database on the Internet that assigns userfriendly symbolic names (domains) to the public IP addresses for computers and services.

Access to this database requires DNS servers that convert the DNS name into the IP address when the connection is established to a computer/server. DNS servers are normally provided automatically by your Internet provider and do not need to be set up additionally.

The DNS server that you enter here will only be used if your provider does not make a DNS server available.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ DNS. ¤ Activate the use of a user-friendly DNS server for your Internet connection by entering

its IP address in the Preferred DNS Server field.

¤ In the Alternate DNS Server field enter the IP address of a server that should be used if the

preferred server is not available.

¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

QoS – setting the Quality of Service, prioritising VoIP

Many communication and multimedia applications require high speed and large bandwidths to transfer data between the local network and the Internet. However, for many applications there is often only one Internet connection with limited capacity available. QoS (Quality of Service) divides this capacity between the different applications and provides undelayed, continuous data transfer where data packets with higher priority (e.g. VoIP) are given transmission preference.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ QoS. ¤ In the Upstream Rate field indicate the maximum bandwidth for your Internet connection

that should be available for uploads.

¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

Setting Routing

Allocating VoIP connections the optimum bandwidth

You can find the optimum setting for Upstream Rate by carrying out tests while making a phone call during a data upload.

First, in the Upstream Rate field enter the upload stream rate given by your Internet provider. Then proceed as follows:

¤ Make a phone call while you upload data. ¤ If the voice quality is already good: increase the value in the Upstream Rate field step by

step, provided that the voice quality is still good. This means that you won't "give away" any bandwidth.

If the voice quality is poor: reduce the value in the Upstream Rate field step by step until the voice quality is good.

Setting Routing

You can enter static routings in the table. The routing establishes which path the data packets should follow to reach a specific target in your network. This means, for example, that you can allow users from various IP domains to access the Internet via your router.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ Routing. ¤ In the Destination Network field enter the address of the server to which the data packets

are addressed.

¤ In the Gateway and Subnet Mask fields enter the address of the gateway computer or

router in your local network that is used to reach the target server.

¤ Repeat the previous step as necessary for further routing entries. ¤ Click Add. ¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

Example: Your router does not have a direct connection to the Internet, but requests to a server on the Internet are forwarded via another local network. Your router is connected to this network via another router (=gateway). In your router's routing table, you have to enter the IP address of the server on the Internet for Destination Network, and the private address of the other router within your local network for Gateway.

Routing Table

The routing table displays all the rules used in your router for forwarding data packets within your local network.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ Routing ¢ Routing Table.

Configuring the local network

You can use the LAN configuration to define a private IP address for the router and to configure the LAN DHCP server.

Defining the router's private IP address

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Local Network.

You can change the IP address for the base station router on this page. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. This is the router's private IP address (LAN address). This is the IP address under which the base station router can be reached on the local network. This IP address can be freely assigned from the block of addresses that is reserved for private use. The IP address under which the router can be reached from outside is assigned by the Internet provider.

¤ If you want to assign the router a different IP address, enter it in the fields for IP Address.

We recommend using an IP address from a block that is reserved for private use. This address block is 192.168.1.1 – 192.168.255.254.

¤ Enter the values in the fields for Subnet Mask (page 144).

For IP addresses from the address block 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254 the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is generally used. This is preconfigured when the phone is supplied. A subnet mask 255.255.255.x means that the first three parts of the IP addresses for all devices in the router's local network (base station phone and the device connected to the LAN connection) must match.

Configuring the DHCP server

The router has a DHCP server whose factory setting is active. The IP addresses for the PCs and the phone are automatically assigned by the router, provided that DHCP is also activated on the PCs and the phone.

¤ To activate the DHCP server, select On in the DHCP Server field. ¤ If the DHCP server is active, you have to specify a block of IP addresses that the router is

to use for automatically assigning the IP addresses to the PCs. Define the First issued IP

Address and the Last issued IP Address.

Please note:

– The address block is not allowed to contain the router's private IP address (default setting:

192.168.1.1).

– If the DHCP server for the router is activated, you can configure the network setting on the PCs so

that the option Obtain an IP address automatically is set on the PCs.

– If you deactivate the DHCP server, you have to assign the PCs a static IP address from your router's

IP address block via the network settings.

– The phone and PCs retain the dynamically assigned IP address until the router is next rebooted.

The allocation is done again each time the router is rebooted.

Applying the settings for the local network

¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

The base station router is rebooted to activate the settings. The reboot can take several minutes (depending on the provider). Do not disconnect your base station from the PC or the power supply during this period.

Defining the router's name and domain

Displaying DHCP Clients

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Local Network ¢ DHCP Clients.

A list will be displayed of all subscribers (PCs etc.) in your local network that have been assigned a dynamic IP address. The MAC address, the IP address currently assigned and, if necessary, the computer/device name for each client will be listed for identification.

If the DHCP client is activated on the base station phone (IP address type =

Obtained automatically, page 87) this will be shown in the list with the name "telephony".

You can enter this name in the address field of the PC's Web browser instead of the IP address if you want to establish a connection to the phone Web configurator (page 85).

Defining the router's name and domain

You can assign a name to your router. You can enter this name instead of the IP address when you create a connection to the router's Web configurator: http://Host Name.

If the router is located in a different network, you also have to enter the name of the domain which contains the router: http://Host Name.Domain Name.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Administration ¢ Regional Options. ¤ Enter the name of your choice for your router in the Host Name field, and the name of

the domain in the Domain Name field.

¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

The router is rebooted and you are logged off. The Login Web page is displayed again after the reboot.

Setting the Regional Options

You can select the time zone for your router's operation and determine whether the time should be automatically applied from a time server on the Internet.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Administration ¢ Regional Options. ¤ In the Country field select the country in which you operate your base station. ¤ Highlight the required option in the Use Time Server field. ¤ Enter the Internet address for the time server in the Time Server field. ¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

Setting or changing a password

The Web configurator for the router is secured with the password "0000" by default. To prevent unauthorised changes to the router configuration, you should change the password from time to time.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Administration ¢ Remote Management. ¤ Enter a password in the Password field and repeat it in the Confirm new password field

(3 - 20 characters; case-sensitive).

¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

Please note:

If you have forgotten your router password, you will have to reset your Gigaset CE 460 IP R at the base station (page 57). Please note that doing so will reset all settings on the base station phone and the base station router to the default settings.

Setting the time until automatic log-off

Enter a period of time after which the Web configurator will automatically log-off if no entry is made.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Administration ¢ Remote Management. ¤ Enter the period of time in seconds in the Idle Time before Log Off field. ¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

Configuring Remote Management for the router from external networks

Re mote manage ment mea ns that y our r oute r can be configure d by a PC that is outsi de your local network, all with the help of a standard Web browser. The default settings for your router mean that it can only be configured from your local network.

¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Administration ¢ Remote Management. ¤ In the Remote Management field highlight the On option if you want to permit remote

management.

¤ If you want to restrict remote management to a particular PC, you should also enter the

IP address of this PC in the IP Address field. Entering 0.0.0.0 means that remote management from any PC is enabled.

Please note:

If you want to restrict remote management to one particular PC, you must ensure that the IP address was not dynamically assigned to this PC.

¤ If you enter a port number in a Public Port field, access to remote management is only

possible via this port (default port = 80).

¤ Click Set to apply the settings.

Updating the router's firmware

Siemens always provides you with the latest version of the router firmware. This is available on the Internet at: www.siemens.com/gigaset

u Status (page 108)

This menu gives you information about your phone.

u Router-Settings

You can use this menu to start the router Web configurator (page 69), to make settings on the base station router.

IP Configuration

Make the necessary settings for operating your phone in your local network and to connect it to the Internet. For more detailed explanations of the individual components/terms, see the glossary (page 135).

The base station phone and router are set by default so that there is a connection between them. You only have to change the IP configuration for your phone in exceptional circumstances, e.g. if you have configured port forwarding to the phone for the router, or if you had to deactivate the router's DHCP server. In this case you need to assign the phone a fixed IP address.

Assigning the IP address

¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ IP Configuration. ¤ 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 network. 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 fixed IP address makes sense, for example, if port forwarding is set up on the router for the phone (page 76).

The following fields are displayed when you select IP address type = Static:

IP address

Enter an IP address for your phone. This IP address allows it to be reached by other subscribers in your local network (e.g. PC).

The default is 192.168.1.2. 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 in the range 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.253 with Subnet

mask 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask determines that the first three parts of the IP

address must be identical for routers and 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 of the base station router. It must also not be being used

by another device that is connected to the base station via the LAN connection

(directly or via a hub/switch). If necessary, check the setting at the base station router (page 80).

Subnet mask

Enter the subnet mask that you have set at your base station router (page 80).

Default gateway

Enter the private IP address for the base station router (page 80). Your base station phone requires this information to be able to access the Internet.

The default is 192.168.1.1.

IP Configuration

Preferred DNS server

Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. You can enter the private IP address for the base station router here. The router forwards

base station phone address requests to its DNS server (page 78). The default is 192.168.1.1.

Alternate DNS server (optional)

Enter the IP address for the alternative DNS server that should be used in situations where the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.

You can also enter the private IP address for the base station router here.

Click on Set to save the changes. Click on Cancel to reject the changes.

Allowing access from other networks

The default setting for your phone is set such 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 networks increases the risk of unauthorised access. It is therefore recommended to deactivate remote access again if you no longer need it.

¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ IP Configuration. ¤ In the Remote Management area, activate the Yes option to permit access from other net-

works. To deactivate remote access, click on the No option. Access is then limited to PCs in your

own local network.

Access to the phone Web configurator from other networks is only possible if your base station router is set accordingly. The base station router must pass on the service requests from "outside" to port 80 (default port) of the phone (page 76).

To establish a connection, the public IP address or the DNS name of the base station router and, where applicable, the port number on the base station (page 78) router must be indicated in the Web browser of the remote PC.

Configuring telephone connections

You can configure up to six VoIP phone numbers on your phone. You need to set up a VoIP account with a VoIP provider for each VoIP phone number. You must save the access data for each account and for the relevant VoIP provider in the phone. You can assign a name to every connection.

To configure the connections:

¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Connections.

If you have downloaded the general settings for the VoIP provider from the Siemens configuration server (page 96), then the fields in thi s area wi ll b e pr eset wit h th e da ta f rom the download. Generally speaking, you will not need to make any settings in this area.

Domain

Specify the last part of your SIP address (URI) here. Example: For the SIP address "987654321@provider.com", enter "provider.com" in

Domain.

Proxy server address

The SIP proxy is your VoIP provider's gateway server. Enter the IP address or the (fullyqualified) DNS name of your SIP proxy server. Example: myprovider.com.

Proxy server port

Enter the number of the communication port that the SIP proxy uses to send and receive signalling data (SIP port).

Port 5060 is used by most VoIP providers.

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 public IP address/

port number to your SIP address (Username@Domain) that was 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.

Configuring telephone connections

Registration refresh time

Enter the time intervals at which the phone should repeat the registration with the VoIP server (SIP proxy) (a request will be sent to establish a session). The repeat is required so that the entry of the phone in the tables of the SIP proxy is retained and the phone can therefore be reached. The repeat will be carried out for all activated VoIP phone numbers.

The default is 180 seconds. If you enter 0 seconds, the registration will not be repeated periodically.

Area: Network

Please note:

If you have downloaded the general settings for your VoIP provider from the Siemens configuration server (page 96), some fields in this area will be preset with the data from this download (e.g. the settings for the STUN server and the outbound proxy).

If NAT (Network Address Translation) and/or the firewall are activated on your base station router, you may have to make some settings in this area so that your base station phone can be reached (i.e. can be addressed) from the Internet.

Through NAT, the IP addresses of subscribers in the LAN are concealed behind the public IP address of the router.

For incoming calls If on the router port forwarding for SIP and RTP port (page 76) is activated to the phone,

no special 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 is automatically created when the phone is registered with the SIP service. In the interest of security, this entry is deleted at certain intervals (session timeout). The phone must therefore confirm its registration at certain intervals (see NAT refresh time, page 94), so that the entry stays in the routing table.

For outgoing calls The phone requires its public IP address so that it can receive the voice data for the other

caller and you can hear the other caller. If NAT is activated, the phone does not know the public IP address.

If the NAT for your router (symmetric NAT) is the only NAT between the phone and the SIP server, setting a value between 5056 and 5071 for your phone's SIP port will be enough (page 102). The phone's STUN server must be deactivated. Set STUN enabled to No (see below).

If the NAT for the router is not the only one between the phone and the SIP server (e.g. if your router is connected to the Internet via another LAN and the router for this LAN has an asymmetric NAT), there are two options:

u Your VoIP provider makes an outbound proxy available: the phone directs its request to

establish a connection to the outbound proxy (instead of to the SIP proxy). This provides the data packet with the public IP address.

Configuring telephone connections

u The phone requests the public IP address from a STUN server on the Internet (Simple

Traversal of UDP over NAT). The phone's STUN server must be deactivated. Set STUN enabled to Yes (see below).

STUN may not be enough, however, with your router's symmetric NAT. You may have to forward an additional SIP and RTP port to the phone (Port Forwarding to all routers involved, see page 76) and set a value outside the 5056 – 5071 range for the phone's local SIP port (page 102).

The STUN server and outbound proxy are used alternately to work around the NAT/firewall in the router.

STUN enabled

Click Yes if you want your phone to use STUN.

STUN server

Enter the (fully-qualified) DNS name or the IP address of the STUN server on the Internet.

If you selected the Yes option in the STUN enabled field, you must enter a STUN server here.

STUN port

Enter the number of the communication port on the STUN server. The default port is 3478.

STUN refresh time

Enter the time intervals at which the phone should repeat the registration with the STUN server. The repeat is required so that the entry of the phone in the tables of the STUN server is retained. The repeat will be carried out for all activated VoIP phone numbers.

Ask your VoIP provider for the STUN refresh time. The default is 240 seconds. If you enter 0 seconds, the registration will not be repeated periodically.

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.

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 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 Outbound proxy field, the phone behaves independ-

ently of the selected mode, as with Never.

Configuring telephone connections

Outbound proxy

Enter the (fully qualified) DNS name or the IP address of your provider's outbound proxy.

Please note:

With many providers, the outbound proxy is identical to the SIP proxy.

Outbound proxy port

Enter the number of the communication port used by the outbound proxy. The default port is 5060.

Saving settings on the phone

¤ Click Set to save the changes.

The Connections list will be shown after saving (see Figure 3 on page 89). If you want to reject the changes that have been made, click Cancel. The Web page is re-

loaded with the data saved on the phone. Please note: If you do not make any entries for a lengthy period, the connection to the Web

configurator is automatically terminated. Unsaved entries are lost. If necessary, implement temporary security measures. You can subsequently continue the entry and make changes if necessary.

Activating a new connection

If you have configured a new VoIP connection, you must also activate it. In the Connections list:

¤ Activate the relevant option in the Active column ( = activated).

Your phone will register itself with the VoIP provider using the relevant access data. If the registration is successful, after a short period the Status column will show registered for the connection. You can now be reached on this VoIP phone number.

Please note:

Once the new entry has been made, the VoIP phone number for each handset is assigned as a receiving number. For how to adjust the assignment, see page 100.

Configuring telephone connections

Selecting the VoIP provider and downloading the VoIP provider data

Profile files with the general access data for the most important VoIP providers are available for download on the Siemens server on the Internet. The IP address for the server is stored in your phone (page 106).

Navigation:

¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Connections. ¤ Click the Edit button next to the VoIP connection for which you wish to download the

provider data.

¤ In the IP Connection area, click the Select VoIP Provider button.

This will display information on the download procedure. The phone establishes a connection with the Siemens server on the Internet. The down-

load procedure has several steps:

¤ Click Next. ¤ From the list, select the country for which the list of VoIP providers is to be loaded. ¤ Click Next. ¤ Select a VoIP provider from the list. If your provider is not included in the list, select Other

Provider. You will then have to enter all the VoIP data manually (page 90).

¤ Click Finish.

The data for the provider selected will be loaded onto your phone.

Activating/deactivating the Gigaset.net connection

Your phone is assigned a Gigaset.net phone number on delivery. As soon as you have connected your phone to the Internet, you can make calls using the Gigaset.net and receive calls from other Gigaset.net subscribers, provided that your Gigaset.net connection has been activated. You can deactivate the Gigaset.net connection.

¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Connections. The list of connec-

tions will be displayed (see Figure 3 on page 89).

¤ In the Gigaset Net area: use the option in the Active column to activate ( ) or deactivate

( ) the Gigaset.net connection.

Please note:

If you do not use your Gigaset.net connection for six weeks, it is automatically deactivated. You cannot be reached for calls from the Gigaset.net.

The connection is reactivated: – as soon as you start a search in the Gigaset.net directory (page 34) or – make a call via the Gigaset.net (dial a number with #9 at the end) or – activate the connection via the Web configurator as described above.

Optimising voice quality for VoIP connections

You can make general and connection-specific settings to improve the voice quality for VoIP telephony.

¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Audio.

The voice quality for VoIP connections is mainly determined by the voice codec used for transferring the data and the available bandwidth of your DSL connection.

In the case of the voice codec, the voice data is digitalised (coded / decoded) and compressed. A "better" codec (better voice quality) means more data needs to be transferred, i.e. perfect voice data transfer requires a DSL connection with a larger bandwidth.

The following voice codecs are supported by your phone:

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 G711 but better than with G729). Your phone supports G726 with a transmission rate of 32 kbit/s per voice connection.

G729

Average voice quality. The necessary bandwidth is less than 8 kbit/s per voice connection.

Both sides of a phone connection (caller/sender side and receiver side) must use the same voice codec. The voice codec is negotiated between the sender and the recipient when establishing a connection.

You can influence the voice quality by selecting (bearing in mind the bandwidth of your DSL connection) the voice codecs your phone is to use, and specifying the order in which the codecs are to be suggested when a VoIP connection is established.

Area: Settings for Bandwidth

The settings in this area influence all VoIP connections (VoIP phone numbers).

Allow 1 VoIP call only

Generally speaking you can make two VoIP calls at the same time on your phone. If, however, your DSL connection has a narrow bandwidth, there may be problems if two VoIP calls are made at the same time. The data is no longer transferred properly (long voice delay, data losses etc.).

¤ Activate the Yes o pti on n ext to Allow 1 VoIP call only to prevent any further parallel VoIP

phone connections being established.

¤ If you wish to permit two VoIP connections, activate the No option.

Please note: If only one VoIP connection is permitted, the following VoIP network services are no longer available:

– Call waiting

Call waiting is not displayed during a call via VoIP. – External consultation call from a VoIP call – Toggling and initiating a conference call via VoIP
