Gigaset S450 IP – More than just a telephone
Gigaset S450 IP – More than just a telephone
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 16). During a call, the display color indicates whether your call is being made via VoIP (blue) or via the fixed network (orange).
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 con­nection assistant 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 11).
u If necessary, make any further
VoIP settings on a PC. The phone has aWeb interface (Web configurator) that can be accessed via your PC's Web browser (page 26).
u Assign your own password (system
PIN) to protect your device and the
Web configurator from unauthorized access (page 25).
u Use instant messaging on your hand-
set. Go online and see which of your messenger contacts (buddies) are also online. Chat with your buddies, send and receive text messages, or phone them (page 22).
u Use your phone to obtain information
about new e-mail messages in your mailbox without a PC (page 21).
u Save up to 150 numbers and names in
your handset (page 19).
u Download your Outlook contacts from
a PC into your handset. Or back up the handset directory on your PC.
u You can program the keys of your
phone with important phone numbers. The phone number is then dialed by simply pressing the respective key (page 19).
u Keep your hands free while making
calls. Use the handsfree function on your handset or use a convenient headset (accessory, not included).
u Keep your phone completely up to
date. Find out about firmware updates on the Internet and download
them into your phone.
u Use your handset as an alarm clock
(page 25).
For a full description of all functions on your Gigaset S450 IP, please see the com­plete user guide on the Internet at: www.siemens.com/gigaset
Your Gigaset S450 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
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 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 with
high voice quality with subscribers on the Internet, the fixed network or the mobile phone network.
u Your SIP provider 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 (such
as DSL) with flat rate (recommended) or volume-based price
u Internet access, meaning that you need
a router that will connect your phone to the Internet. You can find a list of rec­ommended routers on the Internet at:
http://www.siemens.com/gigaset
u Access to the services of a VoIP pro-
vider. Open up to four accounts with one VoIP provider.

First steps

Setting up the handset for use

The display is protected by a protective plastic film.
Please remove the protec­tive film!

Inserting the batteries

Warning:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recom­mended by Siemens on page 28! This means that you must not use conventional (non­rechargeable) batteries or other types of bat­teries. If you do, serious damage to health and property cannot be ruled out: for example, the outer casing of the batteries could be destroyed or the batteries could explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using batteries that are not of the recommended type.
¤ Insert the batteries the right way round
(see figure).
The polarity is indicated in/on the battery compartment.
Opening the battery cover
¤ If fitted, remove the belt clip. ¤ Place your finger in the headset socket
cavity and pull the battery cover upwards.
The handset turns on automatically. You will hear a confirmation tone.
Closing the battery cover
¤ First, align the notches on the side of
the battery cover with the protrusions on the inside of the housing.
¤ Then press the cover until it clicks into
place.

Connecting the charging cradle

Connecting up the charging cradle and mounting it on the wall (if required) is described at the end of this user guide.
¤ To charge the batteries, leave the hand-
set in the charging cradle.
Notes:
– Only place the handset in the charging cra-
dle that is intended for it.
– If the handset has turned itself off because
the batteries are flat and it is then placed in the charging cradle, it will turn itself on automatically.
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 dis­played 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 reinsert them.
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 rea­sons.

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 net­work, you need the services of a VoIP pro­vider who supports the VoIP SIP standard.
Precondition: You have registered (for example via your PC) with such a VoIP pro­vider and set up at least one VoIP account.
The following phone settings are neces­sary in order for you to use VoIP. You will receive all information from your VoIP pro­vider.
u Your user name with the VoIP provider,
if this is required by the VoIP provider
u You r regis t ration na me u Your password with the VoIP provider u VoIP provider general settings
The connection assistant will help you with the settings.

Starting the connection assistant

Precondition: The base station is con­nected to the electrical power supply and the router. Your router is connected to the Internet (page 10).
Tip: If VoIP is activated as the default connection for your phone (default set­ting page 25), the phone will attempt to make a direct connection to your VoIP pro­vider's server after the connection assis­tant is closed. If incorrect/incomplete information means that the connection cannot be made, messages will be dis­played (page 13).
As soon as the handset battery is suffi­ciently charged, the message key f on the handset will flash (around 20 minutes after you have put the handset in the charging cradle). Press the message key f to start the connection assistant.
You will see the following display:
Connection Assist.
Start assistant
for entry of VoIP
connection data?
No Yes
§Yes§ Press the display key to start
the connection assistant. The settings are configured in several steps.
~ Enter system PIN (the default
setting is "0000").
Note:
The connection assistant will also start auto­matically if you try to establish a connection via the Internet, before you have configured the necessary settings. You can also call up the connection assistant at any time via the menu (page 14).
Note:
Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assignment of the IP address. In order for your router to "recognize" the phone, dynamic IP address assignment must also be activated on the router, meaning that the router's DHCP server is activated.
11
First steps

Downloading VoIP provider data

The phone establishes a connection with the Siemens server on the Internet. Pro­files with general access data for various VoIP providers can be downloaded here.
After a short time the following is dis­played:
Select Country
Germany England France Netherlands, the
Ý OK
q Select country (press up/down
on the control key) and press
§OK§. The VoIP providers are
shown for which VoIP profiles are available.
q Select your VoIP provider and
§OK§.
press
The necessary general access data for your VoIP provider is downloaded and saved on the phone.
Authent. Password:
Enter password and press
§OK§.
Note:
Please note when making these entries that the VoIP user data is case sensitive. When entering text, the first letter is capitalized as standard. Press and hold the # key to switch between upper/lower case text and numerical entry.

Completing the VoIP settings

Once you have made all of the necessary entries, the message "Connection data com-
plete" is displayed. The handset returns to
idle status. If all of the settings are correct and if the
phone can make a connection to the VoIP server, then the internal name of the handset will be displayed (example):
ÐV
INT 1
10.18.06 09:45 AM
FixedLine IP
If the data for your VoIP provider is not offered as a download, press the display key . You can then carry out the following steps as instructed by the connection assistant.
You must then configure the necessary set­tings for the VoIP provider using the Web con­figurator (page 27). Your VoIP provider will supply you with this information.

Entering user data for your VoIPaccount

Enter the VoIP user data for your VoIP account. Your VoIP provider will supply you with this information.
Username:
If required by your provider, enter the user name and press
§OK§.
Authent. Name:
Enter the registration name and press
12
§OK§.
You can now use your phone to make calls via the fixed network (fixed line) and the Internet! Callers can reach you on your fixed network number and your VoIP number!
Note:
To ensure that you can always be reached via the Internet, the router must be permanently connected to the Internet.
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 a fault has occurred:
Server not accessible!
The phone has no connection to the Inter­net.
¤ 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 Internet connection.
¤ Check whether the phone is connected
to the LAN. It might not have been pos­sible to assign an IP address to the phone or the IP address has already been assigned to another LAN sub­scriber and cannot be changed.
¤ Find the IP address using the hand-
set menu:
v ¢ Ð Settings ¢ Base
¢ Local Network
¤ Start the Web configurator with the
IP address.
¤ If no connection can be established,
change the settings on the router (activate DHCP server) or the phone's IP address.
Provider registration failed!
u Your personal data for registering with
the VoIP provider may have been entered incompletely or incorrectly.
¤ Check your entries for Username,
Authent. Name and Authent. Password.
In particular, check your use of upper and lower case. To do this, open the following menu on your handset:
¢ Ð Settings ¢ Telephony
v
¢ VoIP ¢ Provider Registr.
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
¢ Connections Web page.
¤ Edit the server address if necessary.
Note:
If port forwarding is activated on your router for the ports that have been registered as the SIP port (Standard 5600) 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:
¢ Ð Settings ¢ Base
v
¢ Local Network
Or – Via the Web configurator:
¥ Open Settings ¢ IP configuration
Web page.
¥ Select IP address type.
Please note that the IP address and subnet mask depend on the router's address block. You must also specify the default gateway and DNS server. The IP address for the router is generally entered here.

Making calls with VoIP and the fixed network

Making calls with VoIP and the fixed network

Making an external call

External calls are those that are made via the public telephone network (fixed net­work) or the Internet (VoIP). You deter­mine what type of connection you want to use when you dial.
Notes:
– You can make two parallel external calls
on your base station (on two handsets): one call via VoIP and one via the fixed network.
– During an external call, the color of the dis-
play indicates whether you are connected with the other participant via VoIP (blue) or via the fixed network (orange).
– 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). To avoid always having to enter the area code for local calls, you can also enter the area code in the configuration (with the Web configurator, see page 26). It will then be inserted automatically for local calls.
Selecting the type of connection via the talk key and making a call
~c/d
Enter number/IP address and briefly press/press and hold the talk key or handsfree key.
A default connection is established on your phone (fixed network or VoIP, page 26).
¤ Press the talk key c or handsfree key
d briefly if you want to make the call via the default connection.
¤ Press and hold the talk key c or

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired opera­tion. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer­ence in a residential installation. Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; to minimize or prevent such interference, the system base should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is expe­rienced, moving the base farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
However, there is no guarantee that interfer­ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone system does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the base station and receiver.
3. Connect the base station into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio
TV technician for help.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999 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 take away your freedom to share and change 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 Soft­ware 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 refer­ring 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 restric­tions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsi­bilities 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 com­plete 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.
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 permis­sion 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 some­one 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. There­fore, 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 ordi­nary 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 compet­ing 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 de­facto standard. To achieve this, non-free pro­grams 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
37
Appendix
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 oper­ating 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 modi­fied 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 com­bined with the library in order to run.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DIS­TRIBUTION 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 lic­ensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software func­tions and/or data prepared so as to be conve­niently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. The "Library", below, refers to any such soft­ware library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any deriva­tive 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 lan­guage. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) "Source code" for a work means the preferred fo rm o f the w ork for mak ing mod ifi cat ion s 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.
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 applica­tion 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 well­defined independent of the application. There­fore, Subsection 2d requires that any applica­tion-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-
38
Appendix
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 ordi­nary 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 ver­sion 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 wis h t o c opy pa rt 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 object code or executable form under the terms 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 soft­ware interchange. If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the require­ment to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
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 there­fore covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. When a "work that uses the Library" uses mate­rial from a header file that is part of the Library, 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 accesso­ries, and small macros and small inline func­tions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Execut­ables 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 con­taining 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 engi­neering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a refer­ence directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: a) Accompany the work with the complete cor­responding machine-readable source code for
39
Appendix
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 Librar y and then relink to produce a modified executable con­taining the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of def­initions 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 prop­erly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified ver­sion 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 dis trib ut ion of th e wor k i s ma de b y of fer ing 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 reproduc­ing the executable from it. However, as a spe­cial exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally dis­tributed (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 sin­gle library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate
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, uncom­bined 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 compli­ance.
9. You are not required to accept this License,
since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distrib­ute 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 con­ditions 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 origi­nal 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 compli­ance 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), con­ditions 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 simulta­neously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a con­sequence 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 indi­rectly 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 circum­stance, 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 pro­tecting the integrity of the free software distri­bution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made gen­erous contributions to the wide range of soft­ware distributed through that system in reli­ance 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 pat­ents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those coun­tries, 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 Gen­eral 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 following 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 distri­bution conditions are incompatible with these,
write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Soft­ware 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 deriva­tives 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 APPLI­CABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PAR­TIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABIL­ITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PER­FORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVIC­ING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLI-
CABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIB­UTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIA­BLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSE­QUENTIAL 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 SUS­TAINED 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.

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 every­one can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordi­nary 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 effec­tively 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.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> This library is free software; you can redistrib­ute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as pub­lished by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MER­CHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Lesser General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software Foun­dation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Bos­ton, MA 02111-1307 USA 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 neces­sary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1990 Ty Coon, President of Vice
