u Assign each handset its own VoIP number as a send and receive number.

If a member of your family is called on their VoIP number, only their handset will ring (£ Page 196).

u You can also use the VoIP accounts with different providers for cost control

purposes. When dialling, specify the VoIP connection/the VoIP account you want to use for its lower rates (

u Setting dialling plans for phone numbers or area codes enables you to auto-

mate the selection of the most cost-effective VoIP connection

VoIP – making calls via the Internet

With VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), your calls are not made via a fixed con- nection as with the telephone network, but rather they are transmitted via the Internet in the form of data packets.

You can take advantage of all the benefits of VoIP with your phone:

u You can make cost-effective calls in high voice quality with callers on the

Internet, the fixed line network or the mobile phone network.

u VoIP providers will give you personal numbers, with which you can be

reached from the Internet, the fixed line network and any mobile phone network.

To be able to use VoIP, you need the following:

u A broadband Internet connection (e.g. DSL) with flat rate (recommended)

or volume-based price.

u Internet access, i.e. you need a router that will connect your phone to the

Internet. You can find a list of recommended routers on the Internet at: www.gigaset.com/customercare From here, go to the FAQ page and select your Gigaset IP telephone.

Search for "Router", for example.

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

ent VoIP providers.

£ Page 142).

Gigaset HDSP – telephony with brilliant sound quality

Your Gigaset IP telephone supports the broadband codec G.722. With your base station and the corresponding handset, you can thus make calls via VoIP with brilliant sound quality (High Definition Sound Performance).

If you register further broadband-capable handsets (e.g. Gigaset S67H, S68H or SL37H) with your base station,

internal calls between these handsets will also be conducted via broadband. Preconditions for broadband connections to your base station are:

u For internal calls:

Both handsets are broadband-capable, i.e. both support codec G.722.

u For external calls via VoIP:

– You make the call from a broadband-capable handset. – You have selected codec G.722 for outgoing calls ( – Your VoIP provider supports broadband connections. – The recipient's phone supports codec G.722 and accepts the establish-

ment of a broadband connection.

Please note

The VoIP service Gigaset.net (

First steps

Adjusting the settings for VoIP telephony

Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to phone any other numbers on the Internet, the fixed line network or the mobile phone network, you need the services of a VoIP provider who supports the VoIP SIP standard.

Precondition: You have registered with such a VoIP provider (e.g. via your PC) and set up at least one VoIP account.

To be able to use VoIP, you now need to enter the access data for your VoIP account. You will receive all the necessary data from your VoIP provider. This will include:

Either:

u Your user name (if requested by the VoIP provider), this is the user identifi-

cation (Caller ID) for your account, which is often identical to your phone number

u Your authentication name or login ID u The (login) password registered with the VoIP provider u General settings for your VoIP provider (server addresses etc.)

Or:

u An auto-configuration code (Activation Code)

Your Gigaset phone's connection assistant can help you make these entries.

Automatic configuration:

If your provider supports "automatic configuration", you will receive an "auto-configuration" from your provider instead of an authentication name and password.

You will need to set the VoIP configuration with the auto-configuration code via the Web configurator on the base station.

Starting the connection assistant

Precondition: The base station is connected to the mains power supply and a router. Your router is connected to the Internet (

Tip: Leave VoIP activated as the default line for your telephone (default setting

to your VoIP provider's server after the connection assistant is closed. If incorrect/incomplete information means that the connection cannot be established, messages will be displayed (

Please note

Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assignment of the IP address. In order for your router to "recognise" the phone, dynamic IP address assignment must also be activated on the router, i.e. the router's DHCP server must be activated.

If the DHCP server cannot or should not be activated, you must first assign a fixed IP address to the phone. For information on how to do this,

Making calls with VoIP and the fixed line network

Making an external call

External calls are calls made via the public telephone network (fixed line network) or via the Internet (VoIP). You generally decide which connection you want to use for a specific call when you dial the number. You have the following options:

u Select the connection type with the talk key c(briefly press/press and

hold c),

u Select the connection type via the display key, by assigning VoIP or the

fixed line network to your left display key,

u Select a special connection via your line suffix, £ Page 46.

Please note

u You can conduct up to three separate external calls via your base station

(using different handsets): two calls via VoIP and one via the fixed line network.

u You can define dialling plans for certain numbers or area codes by deter-

mining the connection and therefore the billing method to be used (cost control £ Page 200) when these numbers are dialled.

u Dialling with the directory (£ Page 69), quick dial keys (£Page 149) or

redial list ( bers. You can modify or add to these numbers on a call-by-call basis.

u If you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed line network, you may also have

to dial the area code for local calls (depending on the VoIP provider). You can save yourself the time of dialling your own area code each time by entering the area code in the configuration ( the Predial area code for local calls through VoIP option (

Selecting and calling a connection via its line suffix

You can co nf igure up to six Vo IP number s o n y our p ho ne in addit io n to the fixe d line network number and the Gigaset.net number. A (line) suffix is assigned to each number (line) of your phone:

u the fixed line network number has the suffix #0 u VoIP numbers have the suffixes #1 to #6 (£ Page 180) u and the Gigaset.net number has the suffix #9

When dialling, you can use this line suffix to specify the connection via which you would like to call or be charged.

~ Enter the number of the party you wish to call. ~ Add the suffix of the connection (your phone number) from which

the call is to be made and charged to.

c Press the talk key. The connection is always made via the line with the assigned suffix, regardless

of whether you press the talk key c briefly or press and hold.

Example

If you enter the number 1234567890#1 and press the talk key c, the number 1234567890 will be dialled via the first VoIP connection in the configuration.

Please note

u If you specify a suffix for which no VoIP connection is configured in your

base station, the VoIP status code 0x33 will be displayed. The number will not be dialled.

u You have activated the Automatic Fallback to Fixed Line option with the

Web configurator ( If the attempt to establish a connection via VoIP fails, an attempt is made automatically to establish the connection via the fixed line network.

If you enter a number that has a defined dialling plan, the call will be made via the line defined in the dialling plan – regardless of whether the talk key is pressed briefly or pressed and held. Any automatic area code will not be prefixed to the number.

Emergency numbers

Dialling plans for emergency numbers (e.g. the local emergency service number) are preset for certain countries. Emergency calls are then always made via the fixed line network.

You cannot delete or deactivate these dialling plans. However, you can change the connection through which each emergency number should be called (e.g. if the phone is not connected to the fixed line network). You must make sure that the VoIP provider for the selected connection supports emergency calls. If the VoIP connection is deleted from the configuration, the emergency call can no longer be made.

If your phone does not have default dialling plans for emergency calls, you should define the rules yourself ( that you know supports emergency calls. Calls to emergency numbers are always supported by fixed line networks.

Messenger

The messenger on your phone makes instant messaging possible (immediate message transfer, chatting). The phone supports the XMPP messenger (Jabber).

Instant messaging refers to communication between "friends" on the Internet. Subscribers exchange short messages, which are forwarded immediately. This gives rise to a flowing "conversation" similar to chatting.

The precondition for this form of communication is that both subscribers have a connection to the messenger server from the same instant messaging pro- vider. Therefore, both subscribers must be "online". The messenger server forwards the messages to the recipient.

The subscribers to instant messaging are called buddies. Most messenger servers allow you to create what are known as buddy lists.

You can store the buddies you want to chat to in the buddy list. The messenger server informs you as soon as one of your buddies comes

online or goes offline. Offline means that the buddy has disconnected from the messenger server.

In addition to this, each buddy can determine their own (communication) sta- tus (state of presence, they are in the mood to chat or wish to remain undisturbed.

The messenger on your phone provides you with the following options:

u Go online (£ Page 98). u Display the list of your contacts (buddies) on the handset that you previ-

u Exchange messages with your buddies. Your handset notifies you about

u Call your buddies directly from your buddy list (£ Page 106).

ously created on the PC. This will indicate for each buddy whether they are available (online) and ready to chat (state of presence,

new messages with a flashing message key f and a beep.

Preconditions for instant messaging:

u You have registered with an instant messaging provider via the Web browser

on your PC and (optionally) agreed a Web name (nickname).

u You have created a buddy list via the messenger client on the PC. u You have saved the messenger server address and your access data for the

messenger server (user ID, password) in the phone using the Web configu-

£ Page 208). The phone needs the data to establish a connection

rator ( with the messenger server.

Messenger

Please note

If your instant messaging provider doesn't support the phone's messenger client, then you can open an account with an open Jabber server and use the Web configurator to enter its address in your phone. Many of these Jabber servers offer gateways to other messenger servers (e.g. AOL, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo!).

You can find a list of Jabber servers and an overview of the gateways to other messenger servers on the Internet at: http://www.jabber.org

You can find information on setting up a Jabber account with connections from ICQ, MSN or Yahoo on the Internet, e.g. at: http://web.swissjabber.ch

Establishing a connection, going online

When you go online, your buddy list will be displayed on the handset and you will receive messages from your buddies.

Only one of the handsets connected to the base station can connect to the messenger server. You can then only "chat" on this handset.

An external call will interrupt the "chat", but you will still be online. You can continue your chat after you end or reject the call.

Precondition: You have saved the messenger server address and your access data for the messenger server (user ID and password) in the phone using the Web configurator (
