IP Configuration – Connecting to the LAN
Assigning the IP address
Select the necessary settings for operating your phone in your local network and
for connecting it to the Internet, if necessary. For more detailed explanations of the
individual components/terms, see the glossary in the user guide for the phone.
¤ Open the Settings ¢ IP Configuration Web page.
Address Assignment area
Specify the base's address in the LAN.
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 needed. The following fields in this section are greyed out and deactivated.
Select Static if you would like to set up a static local IP address for your phone.
A static IP address is useful, for example, if port forwarding or a DMZ is set up on
the router for the phone. The phone often requires a static IP address, e.g., if you
connect the phone directly to the PC.
The following fields are only activated if you select IP address type = Static:
IP address
Enter an IP address for your phone. This IP address allows your phone to be
reached by other parties in your local network (e.g., PC).
192.168.2.2 is the default.
Please note:
– The IP address must be from the address block reserved for private use on the
router. This is generally in the range 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 router's DHCP server. It must also 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 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.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address for the standard gateway through which the local network
is connected to the Internet. This is generally the local (private) IP address for
your router (e.g., 192.168.2.1). Your phone requires this information to be able to
access the Internet.
192.168.2.1 is the default.
14
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 a connection 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 is the default.
Alternate DNS server (optional)
Enter the IP address for the alternate DNS server that should be used in situations where the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.
¤ Select Set to save the changes.
Or
¤ Select Cancel to reject the changes.
After you have changed the IP configuration, the base is rebooted. You are logged
off the Web configurator. The Login Web page is displayed after the reboot.
Allowing access from other networks
The default setting for your phone only allows you to 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
Authorising access from other networks increases the risk of unauthorised
access. It is therefore recommended that you deactivate remote access if you no
longer require it.

Entering an HTTP proxy server
(only when connected to an internal company network)
Direct connections between network subscribers and the Internet are often not
permitted within internal company or organisation networks (Intranet). In such
cases, all HTTP calls from the network are "transferred" by a proxy server. The proxy
server is a computer or program within the network.
If your phone is connected to such a network, you must store the address of this
HTTP proxy server on the phone and activate handling of HTTP calls via the HTTP
proxy server.
Only then will you be able to access the online directory or display weather information etc. (information services).
¤ Open the Settings ¢ IP Configuration Web page.
HTTP proxy area
Enable proxy
Select Ye s if your phone is to handle HTTP calls via your network's HTTP proxy
server.
If you select No, the phone will attempt to access the Internet directly.
Proxy server address
Enter the URL of the proxy server to which your phone is to send HTTP calls.
The proxy server then creates the connection to the Internet.
Proxy server port
Enter the communication port used on the HTTP proxy server (number between
0 and 55,000). It is mainly port 80 that is used.
¤ Select Set to save your settings.

Telephony – Connections:
Configuring phone connections
Open the Settings ¢ Tel ep ho ny ¢ Connections Web page for a list with all pos-
sible ISDN connections (phone numbers) that you can configure or are already
available for your base.
You can use this list to configure and manage the connections of your base.
This list is divided into the following areas:
u Fixed Line Connection
Prerequisite: Your base is (or was last) connected with the analogue fixed line
network.
You do not have to configure the fixed line network connection. You can make
or receive calls on the fixed line network connection once your telephone is connected to the fixed line network.
You can also change the settings for the fixed line network connection

u ISDN Line Connections (MSN)
Prerequisite: Your base is (or was last) connected with the ISDN network.
Your ISDN provider will issue you with up to 10 phone numbers (MSNs). You can
configure a connection for each of these phone numbers on your phone. This is
the only way you can make and receive calls using these phone numbers.
A list entry is available for each MSN (

u Gigaset.net
Your phone is preassigned with a Gigaset.net phone number. The Gigaset.net
connection is ready to use once the base is connected to the internet. In
Gigaset.net, you can call other Gigaset.net subscribers free of charge. Further
information about Gigaset.net can be found in the long user guide for the phone
on the enclosed CD.
To find out which settings are possible for Gigaset.net, see
u IP Connection
You can assign up to six VoIP connections (VoIP phone numbers) to your base.
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.

u GSM Connections
You can also make calls on your base and/or a registered handset via the GSM
connection of your Bluetooth GSM mobile phone (call external parties via the
GSM connection of the mobile phone or receive calls to the GSM connection).
To do this, you can register up to five mobile telephones (i.e., save in the Known
Devices list), which you can connect in alternation with your base. Five spaces
are displayed, one for each possible GSM mobile telephone.
The GSM Connections list is only for information. The Known Devices list and
the properties of the GSM mobile phones can only be edited on the base. Further information can be found in the long user guide for the phone on the CD.
Figure 5 List of possible GSM connections
The list of connections contains the following information:
Name / Number (ISDN) or Name
The name that you have specified for the connection/MSN is displayed, otherwise the default name is shown (IP1 up to IP6 for VoIP connections, MSN1,
MSN2 ... for the ISDN connections, Fixed Line for the fixed line network connection, and Gigaset.net).
For GSM connections, the Bluetooth name is displayed under which the corresponding mobile phone is stored in the list of "Known Devices" on the base. If a
space in the list is not populated by a GSM mobile telephone, i.e., it is still free or
occupied by a data device, GSM is displayed instead of a name.
For ISDN connections, the connection name is displayed together with the corresponding phone number that was assigned to you by the network provider.
For VoIP connections, the name of the network provider is also displayed. If the
name is unknown, the display will show Other Provider.
