Setting up the base station – Getting started wizard

Setting up the base station –
Getting started wizard

A few settings are necessary before using your telephone. The Getting started wizard
(page 15) is designed to help you with this. It can be opened at any time using your
handset. The following settings can be made one after the other.

◆ Date and time

◆ Show/hide answering machine 1...3 (on Gigaset with integrated answering

machine)

◆ Determine/enter MSNs for your phone connection

◆ Set type of device for the devices connected

◆ Set receive MSN

◆ Set send MSN

◆ Outside line code (when using a PABX)

What is an MSN?

MSN = Multiple Subscriber Number. You can apply for up to ten different telephone
numbers for one multiple ISDN connection. An MSN is one of the phone numbers
assigned to you without an area code.

Your telephone uses the MSN entirely as you require. The following differentiation is
made:

◆ Receive MSN: Phone numbers you can be called on. You can assign the receive

MSNs to specific internal subscribers (terminals) (page 72). Incoming calls are only
forwarded to the terminals to which the relevant receive MSN has been assigned.
Terminals could be handsets or answering machines.

◆ Send MSN: Phone numbers that are identified to the person you are calling. The net-

work provider calculates charges based on the send MSNs. You can assign a fixed
send MSN to each internal subscriber (page 72).

Possible internal subscribers:

Depending on the range of functions of your base station, you can assign internal num­bers to the following internal subscribers. The internal numbers available can be found
in the user guide for the base station.

Int11 – Int18: Handsets

Int10: Base station

(CX203isdn, CX253isdn, SX303isdn, SX353isdn)

Int21 – Int22: Analogue devices

(SX205isdn, SX255isdn, SX303isdn, SX353isdn)

Int40: PC via USB connection

(SX205isdn, SX255isdn, SX303isdn, SX353isdn)

Int41 – Int48: Data modules

Int51 – Int53: Bluetooth devices (SX303isdn, SX353isdn)

Int91 – Int93: Integrated answering machines

14

Setting up the base station – Getting started wizard

Example of how to assign an MSN:

You have requested four MSNs, two for business use (MSN1, MSN2) and two for private
purposes (MSN3, MSN4). Four handsets are connected to a base station. Two handsets
(Int.11 and 12) and the answering machine AM 91 are intended for business use, and
two handsets (Int.13 and 14) and the answering machine AM 92 are intended for pri­vate use.

Internal subscribers Use Receive MSN Send MSN

Answering

machine
Handset Int.13 Private MSN3 MSN3
Handset Int.14 MSN4 MSN4
Answering

machine

AM 91 MSN1, MSN2 ---

AM 92 MSN3, MSN4 ---

Because internal 11 and internal 12 handsets are each assigned two (receive) MSNs,
they can use the MSN next call feature (page 72). They can switch to (send) MSN2 dur­ing each outgoing external call. In this example, the internal 13 and 14 handsets cannot
do this.

Opening lists with the message key

Providing a new entry is present in the relevant list, you can open the following lists
using the message key f:

1. Incoming SMS message list Textmessage (SMS) (page 46)

2. Missed calls list Missed calls (page 34)

3. Answering machine lists AM1, AM2, AM3 (on Gigaset with answering machine,

page 94)

These lists display the calls, messages and text messages belonging to the receive MSN's
assigned to the handset.

As soon as a new entry (calls, messages on an integrated answering machine and/or
SMS) is added to one or more lists, the f key flashes and an advisory tone is heard.

If the flashing f key is pressed, the following is displayed:

◆ If only one list has new entries, you will see the first new entry in that list.

To open an entry: s (select entry)

◆ If several lists have new entries, those lists are available for selection.

To open an entry: s (select list)

If the f key is pressed and it is not flashing, the following is displayed:

The message No newmessages is briefly displayed. The list of missed calls is then
opened.

Caller lists

There are two caller lists:

◆ The missed calls list

This list contains all the calls that have not been answered or have been rejected plus
all calls answered by an answering machine where no message was left.

◆ The answered calls list

This list contains all the calls answered by an internal subscriber or answering
machine.

The calls in these lists are displayed for a receive MSN assigned to the handset. In each
case, the phone numbers for the last 20 calls are stored. The oldest entry is deleted if a
caller list is full and new entries are added. The most recent entry is at the top of the list
and the oldest at the bottom.

A caller is entered in the relevant caller list at the end of a call. If the caller's number was
identified and this number appears in the directory, the caller's name is used. If there
are several identical entries, only the most recent is shown in the two lists. A caller can
appear in both lists if one call he makes is answered and another not. If an outgoing call
is made to a caller who is entered in the list of missed calls, then this entry is transferred
to the last number redial list and deleted from the list of missed calls.

The following is displayed for each entry:

◆ the number of calls for this caller,

◆ the phone number of the caller or his name (if it exists as a directory entry) or

unknown if the phone number was not transferred,

SMS (text messages)

SMS (text messages)

You can send and receive SMS text messages (Short Message Service) with your hand­set. You can send a text message to any fixed network or mobile phone network
number. Your text message can be received as a text message by any device with SMS
functionality (mobile phone, PC, another telephone). If the recipient of your text mes­sage does not have a phone with SMS functionality, then the message is played back.

You can write, edit, read, delete or forward SMS text messages from any registered
handset that has SMS functionality and to which the same receive MSN has been
assigned. When several handsets with the same receive MSN are in use at any one time,
only one handset can access the SMS functions.

Text messages are exchanged between SMS centres that are operated by service provid­ers. The telephone number of the SMS centres through which you wish to send and
receive text messages must be entered in your phone (page 38). Up to ten SMS centres
can be entered. You can change the phone numbers of the SMS centres.

You can receive text messages via any of the SMS centres whose number you have
entered. Of course you must be registered to receive text messages with those SMS cen­tres (page 39).

Your text message is sent through the SMS centre that is entered as the active send
service centre.

Requirements for sending and receiving text messages

◆ Your network provider supports SMS in the fixed network. Contact your network pro-

vider for further information.

◆ Calling Line Identification may not be permanently deactivated for the MSN used

(page 24).

◆ To receive text messages you must be registered with your service provider

(page 39).

◆ The handset must have Unrestricted authorisation to send a text message.

To receive a text message, Incoming only authorisation is adequate.

◆ You must not allow the network provider to block the phone numbers you have

entered for SMS centres.

If a recipient's telephone cannot receive an SMS in the fixed network, the SMS is auto­matically read as a voice message. These voice messages are generally delivered in the
form of a telephone call up until 23:00.

37

SMS (text messages)

Managing SMS service centres

SMS messages are exchanged through SMS service centres. To send and receive a text
message, you require the phone number for your service provider's SMS centre. You
have to store this phone number in your telephone.

You may enter up to ten SMS centres in your telephone.

Sending a text message – send centre

You must enter the phone number of the SMS centre via which you want to send the
text message in your telephone and activate it as the "send centre" (page 38 and
page 39). This phone number will be used to send all SMS messages.

By default, the "Anny Way" SMS centre is already entered (phone number 0900 32 66

900) and activated as the send centre. This means that, in Germany, you may send text
messages immediately.

You can activate another SMS centre as the active send centre. The send centre that was
activated previously is then automatically deactivated.

Receiving a text message

You can receive an SMS message via any SMS centre you have entered provided you
have registered with these SMS centres as an SMS recipient (if registered, see page 39).

Entering, editing or deleting phone numbers for SMS centres

You can enter up to ten SMS centres.
Before entering or editing the number, please obtain information about special features

and what the SMS service provider offers.

Registering/deregistering with an SMS centre

In order to be able to receive text messages on your phone you must first register your
phone number with an SMS service provider. You can find out from the service provider
concerned which information you need to send to register and deregister.

The phone number of the SMS centre must be entered and activated as the active send
centre in order to register with them.

Once you have registered, remember to re-activate the SMS centre as the send centre
via which you wish to send text messages.

Take care to register the phone number (MSN) that is assigned to the
handset as the send MSN (page 72), and with which you are sending the

i

text message. If you also want to send and receive text messages using
other handsets with different MSN's, you will need to register those
phone numbers separately.

Memory

The number of text messages that can be stored in the base station depends on the size

Information on writing and sending a text message

If you are interrupted as you are writing (by a call, an incoming text message or because
the handset switches to idle status because of prolonged inactivity), the text message is
automatically stored in the outgoing message list. You can continue writing the text
message later (page 43).

Tex t mess ages th at cannot be sent are assigned an error status (page 51) and are placed
in the incoming message list.

Text messages are only stored automatically if sending is interrupted. If you wish to
store a message then you must do so before it is sent.

Remember that some service providers will bill you for a cancelled call
to the SMS centre.

SMS (text messages)

Writing text messages

A single text message can be up to 160 characters long. If your text is longer, it will
automatically be sent as a linked message. Up to four messages with 153 characters

each can be linked. This means you can enter up to 612 characters. Bear in mind that
linked messages incur correspondingly higher charges.

Receiving text messages, incoming message list

Notes on receiving a text message

New text messages are indicated by a message on the display, flashing of the message
key f and by a confirmation tone for on all handsets with the same receive MSN.
The date and time (transferred from the SMS centre) are indicated for each text mes­sage received.

The incoming message list contains only those text messages sent to a receive MSN to
which your handset is assigned. If no MSNs have been set up, then all text messages
received are shown on all handsets.

Unread messages appear before read messages in the received messages list. Each cat­egory is then sorted by the time it was received: oldest unread message, ..., newest
unread message, oldest read message, ..., newest read message.

Linked text messages are displayed as one message. If an incoming linked message is
too long or has not transferred completely, it will be split into individual messages and
stored in the incoming message list.

Opening the incoming message list

The incoming message list shows you:

◆ all received messages,

◆ messages that could not be sent despite several attempts. These messages are all

stored with an error status (page 51).

An example of the message list is as follows:

Inbox 2/ 5

Number of old read text messages in the list

Opening with the message key
Requirement: There is at least one new message in the list.

SMS on a PABX

You can only receive a text message if Calling Line Identification is forwarded to
the extension on the PABX (CLIP).

The CLIP for the phone number of the SMS centre is evaluated in your telephone.
If your phone is connected to a PABX, you may have to prefix the number of the

SMS centre with an access code (this depends on your PABX). You can store the access
code in your base station (page 84).

If in doubt, you can test your PABX, e. g. by sending a text message to your own number
and putting the access code before the number of the SMS centre. If you do not receive
this message, send another one, this time without the access code.

When you send text messages, your sender number may be sent without your extension
number. In this case. the recipient cannot reply to you directly.

Night service

For each receive MSN, you can set up a call diversion every day or for a particular period
of time (Start time to End time) and, if required, at the weekend (Sat/Sun all day) to
automatically divert all incoming calls to an external phone number, to a different inter­nal subscriber or, on a Gigaset with integrated answering machine, to the answering
machine. For example, when a business is closed (from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.) all calls
from the office can be diverted to a private number.

When diverting a call externally, only the MSN which is assigned to the handset as the
receive MSN can be diverted from that handset.

By default, night service is deactivated. To activate the night service function, the des­tination for the call diversion must first be specified.

i

If an external call diversion has already been set up for a receive (page 75)
MSN, it is not possible to activate night service for that receive MSN.

Diverting calls externally – CF (Call Forwarding)

Your ISDN connection provides 2 telephone lines (B channels) that you can use at the
same time. It is therefore possible to activate call diversion not only in the telephone
exchange (external), but also directly in the base station (internal). A caller is forwarded
to the destination you specify via the second telephone line. You can set the location for
call diversion as follows:

◆ so that the call is diverted in the telephone exchange (external call diversion);

this keeps your telephone lines free;

◆ so that the call is diverted in your base station (internal call diversion); this means

both telephone lines are engaged.

◆ You pay the costs of the call diversion.

◆ If the call is diverted in the base station (internal call diversion), then

i

the condition "When busy" is not available.

◆ All three conditions can be activated at the same time.

◆ If night service has been set up for a receive MSN (page 67), external

call diversion cannot be set up or changed for this receive MSN.

For each receive MSN you can store a destination number for each of the following con­ditions:

Immediately – On busy – On no reply

External call diversions set up are entered in a list. Active call diversions are identified in
this list.

Pay attention to the special features for SMS in a PABX (page 50).

Access code

Requirement: If your telephone is connected to a PABX,

depending on the PABX, you must enter an access code (outside line code) for external
calls when the phone is first installed. Refer to the user guide for your PABX. You can
enter an access code (one to four digits).

For incoming calls, the access code is automatically placed in front of the caller's phone
number in the display and in the caller lists, and likewise when copied to the directory.
The saved phone number can then be dialled directly, e. g. from the caller list (page 34).

Dialling options

The KEYPAD function allows you to control certain features by entering sequences of
characters and digits.

The KEYPAD function should be set when connecting your telephone to an ISDN PABX
or to an exchange (e. g. Centrex), which is controlled by the KEYPAD protocol. The dig­its/characters 0–9, *, # are sent as keypad information elements. Please ask your service
provider about the information and codes you can transmit.

If your telephone is part of a Centrex system you can use the following features.

Calling Name Identification

Setting options

You can switch between the settings Standard dial (default settings), Auto keypad
and Dial * and #.

Standard dial

Once St andard dial has been activated, * and # are not transmitted during dialling, and
if * and # are entered it is not possible to switch to the keypad.

Auto keypad

Once * or # has been entered, this setting automatically transfers ringing during dialling
to the keypad. This automatic switchover is needed to give commands to the exchange
or PABX.

Dial * and #

Once Dial * and # has been activated, the * and # characters are transmitted during dial­ling as commands to the exchange or PABX.

Regardless of the setting options above, after dialling or during a call the phone
switches automatically to tone dialling (DTMF), e. g. for remote control of an answering
machine.

When you receive calls from other CENTREX subscrib­ers, the caller's number and name are displayed on
the screen.

Direct answering machine operation

Direct answering machine operation

On base station:

Your ISDN telephone has three answering machines (AM1, AM2, AM3), each of which
you can operate and set independently. You can operate the answering machines either
directly via a registered handset (using the menu) or by remote control (internal or
external call to the answering machine, see user guide for base station).

Which answering machine you can operate directly using your handset depends on the
assignment of the receive MSNs:

Answering machines are not assigned an MSN (factory default):

◆ AM1 answers all calls.

◆ Each answering machine can be set, operated and played back from any handset/

terminal.

One or more MSNs are assigned to each answering machine:

Each answering machine can only be set and played back using handsets/terminals with
the same receive MSN.
Exception: If a receive MSN is assigned exclusively to one answering machine, and not
to any other handset/terminal, then this answering machine can be operated by all
internal subscribers.
