Notes on installation
◆ The installation location must have a 220/230V~ mains outlet and an ISDN tele-
phone connection.
◆ For optimum radio reception, you should install the base at a central point wherever
possible.
◆ The installation location should not be in the immediate vicinity of other equipment,
e. g. hi-fi, television, office or microwave equipment, in order to prevent mutual
interference. Minimum distance (including to base power unit): 1.5 metres.
In case of picture and sound interference on satellite reception equipment, please
contact your retailer to have your satellite reception system checked for a lack of
screening.
◆ Avoid direct contact with sources of heat (e .g. radiators).
◆ Do not expose the base to direct sunlight.
◆ The base can also be wall mounted, using the wall holder included in the pack.
◆ If you are not using wall mounting, install the base on a level, non-slip surface. The
feet of the device do not normally leave any marks on the installation surface. However, in view of the variety of paints and polishes available, it cannot be ruled out,
that contact may cause marks on the installation surface.
◆ The range between the base and the handsets is up to 300 m in the open air. Inside
buildings, ranges of up to 50 m can be achieved.

Setting and operating the base
Preparing the base for use and making settings
In order to be able to use your base, certain settings are required, e. g. the ISDN phone
number (MSN). To do this, you need a handset or a PC. More details can be found in the
operating instructions for your handset or your PC software.
If you have an S1 or SL1 added-feature handset, a Getting started wizard is available to
assist you in making the settings. More details can be found in the operating instructions for your added-feature handset.
Operating the base from a handset
Operating instructions for the S1, SL1, C1 and C2 handsets are enclosed.
The current version of the operating instructions is available on the Internet at
www.my-siemens.com/gigaset.
Below, examples of operating the base from an S1 or SL1 handset and a C1 or C2 handset are presented for "Assigning an MSN a ringer melody".
Operating the base from an S1 or SL1 handset
The central operator control on the S1 and SL1 handsets is a control key p, which has
four black direction arrows with the associated symbols. Pressing the various icons (up,
down, right, or left) opens a different function. The side you have to press is shown by
a black triangle in the operating instructions, e.g.: v key for right = open menu.

You can register a maximum of eight wireless devices on your base (including
Gigaset data modules (page 30) and Gigaset Repeater (page 30)). The internal numbers 11-18 are set aside for this purpose. Wire-based analogue devices do not have to
be registered (page 26).
If the internal numbers Int.11 to Int.18 on your telephone have already been assigned,
please de-register another handset you no longer require before registering a new one
(see handset operating instructions).
If necessary, keep the handset operating instructions to hand with their description of
the registration process.

The quick way into the world of ISDN
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 may be called on. You can assign the receive
MSN's to specific internal users (terminals). Incoming calls are only forwarded to the
terminals to which the relevant receive MSN has been assigned. Terminals can be
handsets or answering machines.
◆ Send MSN: Phone numbers that are assigned to the person you are calling. The net-
work operator calculates charges based on the send MSN's. You can assign a fixed
send MSN to each internal user.
Potential internal users are:
◆ Handsets, to which you can assign the internal numbers 11 to 18.
◆ Data modules (page 30), to which you can assign the internal numbers 41 to 48.
◆ The integrated answering machines (on SX255isdn), which are assigned the inter-
nal phone numbers 91 to 93.
◆ PC via USB interface, for which the internal number 40 is set aside.
◆ Analogue terminals, to which you can assign the internal numbers 21 or 22.
Example of how to assign an MSN:
You have applied for four MSN's, two for business use (MSN1, MSN2) and two for private
purposes (MSN3, MSN4). Four handsets are connected to a base. 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.
Further information for dealing with MSNs, e. g. setting the ring delay for each MSN,
can be found in the handset operating instructions.
19
Answering Machine
Answering Machine
Your ISDN telephone has three answering machines (AM1, AM2, AM3). Once you have
connected your telephone, answering machine AM1 is shown and activated. By default,
answering machines AM2 and AM3 are hidden. To use them, they must be shown and
all shown answering machines must be assigned their own receive MSN. You can configure AM1, AM2 and AM3 separately.
You can operate the answering machines
◆ either directly using a registered handset (in the menu) or
◆ by remote control (internal or external call to answering machine).
Remote control is a convenient option, allowing you day-to-day use of an answering
machine wherever you are. To configure the answering machines, you will need a handset that is registered on the base (see handset operating instructions).

during this time.
bers of your family or colleagues, for example.
The caller hears an announcement and may then leave a message.
Operation using a registered handset
Which answering machine you can operate directly using your handset depends on the
assignment of the receive MSNs:
No MSN is assigned to the answering machines (factory setting):
◆ AM1 answers all calls.
◆ Each answering machine can be set, operated and played back from each 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 users.

Connecting devices
Connecting devices
Connecting cord-based analogue devices
The internal phone numbers Int.21/Int.22 are pre-assigned to the TAE connections.
Devices connected to them must
◆ not be registered on the base.
◆ be set to tone (DTMF) dialling (pulse dialling not supported).
In addition, the corresponding device type must be set and device-specific additional
settings made.
No costs are displayed on the connected devices. However, accumulated costs are
recorded on the base and can be checked using an added-feature handset or on a PC.
Device types
The following settings are possible (Defining the device type, see Page 29).
◆ Telephone
◆ Fax
◆ Modem
◆ Answering mach.
◆ Neutral
◆ Door type1
◆ Doortype2(DTMF)
◆ No function
i
Note the explanations below for the device types and their additional
device-specific settings.

see Page 28, No device connected
Connecting telephones
By default, the two TAE connections are set to Telephone.
This means that the base is ready to use with a telephone (with tone dialling/DTMF) con-
nected to Int.21 or Int.22 even without a handset.
If you also want to use this telephone to make internal calls, automatic line seizure for
the associated TAE connection must be deactivated. For external connections, it is then
necessary to dial a zero first.
Information on making calls using devices on the TAE connection can be found in the
handset operating instructions.
26
Connecting devices
Connecting a fax machine
To operate a fax machine or a combination device (e.g. fax with telephone), the device
type setting should be changed to Fax or Neutral.
For problem-free fax operation regardless of the settings of the remote terminal, the
device type setting Neutral is recommended (with the Fax setting, a successful fax con-
nection depends on the settings of the remote terminal).
If you only want to make external connections, automatic line seizure for the associated
TAE connection must remain activated. In this case, the fax machine or combination
device should be set to "Operate on main connection".
If, on the other hand, you also want to make internal connections, automatic line seizure for the associated TAE connection must be deactivated. For external connections,
it is then necessary to either dial a zero before each number or set the fax machine or
combination device to "Operation on PABX" (see fax machine or combination device
operating instructions).
Use the opportunity to assign the fax a separate phone number (MSN). Assign the corresponding TAE connection an exclusive receive MSN (see handset operating instructions).
In the device type setting Fax, Call waiting and Hunt group are not supported.
In the device type setting Neutral, Call waiting is not supported. When connecting a
fax only device, Hunt group should be deactivated (see handset operating instructions).
Connecting a modem
To operate a modem, the device type setting must be changed to Modem.
If you only want to make external connections, automatic line seizure for the associated
TAE connection must remain activated (see handset operating instructions). In this case,
the modem should be set to "Operate on main connection".
If, on the other hand, you also want to make internal connections, automatic line seizure for the associated TAE connection must be deactivated. For external connections,
it is then necessary to either dial a zero before each number or set the modem to "Operation on PABX" (see modem operating instructions).
Connecting an answering machine
If you want to operate an answering machine (or a telephone with integrated answering
machine) on the TAE connection, the device type setting Answering mach. is recommended. In this setting, the answering machine can pick up a call.
If a telephone with integrated answering machine is connected and you want to use this
telephone to make internal calls, automatic line seizure for the associated TAE connection must be deactivated (see handset operating instructions). For external calls, it is
then necessary to dial a zero first.
In the device type setting Answering mach., Call waiting and Hunt group are not sup-
ported (see handset operating instructions).
27
Connecting devices
No device connected
For each TAE connection, to which no device is connected, the device type must be set
to No function, in order to prevent malfunctioning of the Reject all (see handset oper-
ating instructions) and Busy on busy (see handset operating instructions) ISDN functions.
Making calls with devices on the analogue connection
(TAE connection)
Telephones with tone dialling (DTMF = dual tone multi-frequency dialling) can be operated on the analogue connections. Telephones with pulse dialling are not supported.
Automatic line seizure
With automatic line seizure activated, the external line is seized as soon as the receiver
is lifted. As a consequence, normal internal dialling is no longer possible. However, an
internal call is still possible by way of an internal enquiry using the S key. You can activate automatic line seizure with any added-feature handset (see added-feature handset
operating instructions).

Picking up a call while the answering machine is in operation
You can pick up a call, even if the answering machine has already switched itself on on
the second analogue connection, your announcement is running, or the caller is already
leaving a message. When you pick up the call the recording stops.
You can deactivate automatic call pick up (see handset operating instructions) and carry
on an existing call, while the answering machine is switched on.
Automatic line seizure must be deactivated (page 28).
Automatic call pick up (factory setting) Automatic call pick up inactive
ccOS
The requirement for call pick up is that the answering machine and the
i
internal user picking up the call are assigned the same receive MSN
(page 19) and the device type Answering mach. is set for the internal
number of the answering machine (page 27).
Defining the device type
You must define the device type on the handset or PC. You can find more information
in the operating instructions for your handset or PC software.
29
Connecting devices
Connecting PC via USB
You can connect a PC with a cable using the USB port on your base and connect one or
more PCs without a cable using the Gigaset M10x data modules.
Your base then offers you the option of using a connected PC to:
◆ Configure your base
◆ Manage phonebooks from the PC, base and handsets.
Using a PC connected with a cable or via a Gigaset M101 Data, you can also fax from the
PC (using fax emulation with no hardware requirements).
In conjunction with the enclosed software (talk&surf 6.0) this offers you the option of
◆ using data transmission and the Internet from the PC using the ISDN network access
on your base (e. g. surfing the Internet, e-mail, home banking).
◆ Transmit data between different PCs.
i
You can find further information in the instructions for the software
(talk&surf 6.0).
Wireless PC connection: Gigaset M101 Data and
Gigaset USB-Adapter DECT/M105 data modules
The Gigaset M101 Data with V24 interface and the Gigaset DECT/M105 USB Adapter
with USB interface give you the option of establishing a wireless connection between
your PC and the base. A connection via a Gigaset M10x Data data module provides you
with a 64 kbit/sec. interface.
The internal phone numbers PC 41 to PC 48 are set aside for this purpose on your base.
For installation, see the installation instructions on the CD-ROM enclosed with the data
module.
Wire-based PC connection: Base USB port
You can establish a wire-based connection to a PC using the USB port on your base
(page 7). The internal phone number PC 40 is set aside for this purpose on your base.
1. Plug the USB cable into the base only first of all (do not connect it with the PC im-
mediately).
2. Only connect the USB cable to the PC when prompted to do so by the PC program
talk&surf 6.0.
A wire-based connection via the USB port on the base provides you with a 128 kbit/sec.
interface.
Gigaset Repeater
You can increase the range of your handsets with the Gigaset Repeater. Your telephone
is set up to use a Gigaset Repeater (accessory). To ensure the Repeater is installed correctly, Repeater mode must be activated on the base (see handset operating instructions).

Authorisation for direct outward dialling
Different users may be assigned different levels of authorisation on a base station.
For example, while User A may only take incoming calls, User B may make calls without restriction.
Automatic callback
See "Callback when the number is busy"
Automatic redial
Several attempts to call are made automatically when the line is busy.
B
Block dialling
Also pre-dialling. You may only dial or, if required, correct the phone number. Then
you should lift the receiver or press the loudspeaker key.
C
Call divert
CF, Call forwarding. You want to forward calls to another number permanently. You
can divert calls externally via the exchange or internally in the device itself. Call
divert can be set up individually for each separate phone number (MSN) (to your
mobile phone when on holiday, to the office, to a neighbour etc.).
This is carried out at the network provider's local exchange. This means the call
never reaches the original destination.
There are three kinds of call divert: immediate (CFU, Call Forwarding Unconditional),
when the line is busy (CFB, Call Forwarding Busy), and when the call is not answered
(CFNR, Call Forwarding No Reply).
40
ISDN glossary
Call divert (via second B channel) / internal call divert
While external call divert takes place in the local telephone exchange of the network
provider, internal call divert is implemented by your telephone. Your telephone forwards the call via the second line of your ISDN connection. This means both phone lines are engaged for the duration of the call. You pay the charges for the connection to the forwarding number. However, you save yourself the network provider's
charges for this function.
Call forwarding during the call phase
CD, Call Deflection. Must be explicitly enabled by the network provider for each ISDN
connection. CD enables an incoming call to be forwarded to any phone number
while it is ringing, without having to answer the call. Because the caller cannot
affect on where it is forwarded (for example, to a mobile phone), you will pay the
resulting charges. The caller must only pay the normal telephone charges to the connection he dialled.
Call transfer (e.g., for ISDN PABX's)
ECT, Explicit Call Transfer. User A calls User B. He puts the connection on hold and
calls User C. Rather than connect everyone in a three-party conference, A now transfers User B to C and hangs up.
Call waiting
CW, Call Waiting. Service provided by the network provider. An acoustic signal during a call indicates that another caller is waiting. In addition, ISDN phones indicate
this with a displayed message. You can then decide whether to accept or reject the
second call.
Call waiting protection
Deactivates the call waiting signal.
Callback when the call is not answered
If a user does not respond when called, a caller can arrange an automatic callback.
As soon as the destination phone has completed a call and is free again the caller is
rung back. This service must be supported by the exchange. The ringback request is
automatically cancelled after approximately 2 hours (depending on the telephone
exchange.
Callback when the number is busy
Callback must first be activated on the caller's terminal. A connection is established
automatically as soon as the destination phone is no longer busy. As soon as the
connection is free the caller is rung back. As soon as the caller lifts his receiver the
connection is made automatically.
Caller identification
Displays caller's phone number, name or type of connection (e.g., exchange/internal) on the telephone screen.
Caller list
Depending on the setting, the calls list contains callers you haven't reached, or those
you have spoken to. The last 20 missed calls and the last 20 accepted calls are stored
with their phone number, date and time. If you wish to do so, you can return the call
to these users directly from this list.

ISDN glossary
Capture
Performance feature "Identify/capture". MCID stands for "Malicious Call Identification". If you receive annoying calls, you can have the telephone exchange store the
caller number. This performance feature must be requested from the network provider.

Direct call
Block the telephone for all phone numbers except for an individually entered
number. After picking up the handset and pressing any key, the connection to the
saved phone number is established. Ideal for children who cannot yet dial phone
numbers (baby call). Calling an emergency number is always possible. This function
is available on the Gigaset 3000/2000 Comfort handsets.

ECT (Explicit Call Transfer)
See "Call transfer"
Electronic code lock
Personal code (=> PIN), used, for example, to protect a phone against unauthorised
use – only calls to emergency numbers may still be made. Incoming calls may be
accepted.
Enquiry calls
You are making a call. Using the "Enquiry call" function, you interrupt the conversation briefly to establish a second internal or external connection to another user. If
you terminate the connection to this user immediately, then this was an enquiry call.
If you switch to and fro between the first and second user, it is called toggling.
Exchange
Nodal point in the public telephone network. A distinction is made, for example,
between local exchanges and long-distance or trunk exchanges.
H
Handsfree
A phone's handsfree set not only permits open listening but also allows you to talk
to the person on the other end without lifting the receiver by means of an integrated

ISDN glossary
N
Notebook function
During a phone call you can enter a phone number in the phone's temporary memory to be dialled later.
NT/NTBA
Network terminating device (NT = Network Terminator and NTBA = Network Terminator Basic Access). The public T-ISDN is terminated with an NT. The NT acts as a
bridge to the existing telephone outlet. Only the NT can or may be connected to the
telephone outlet. Under no circumstances should analogue terminals also be connected to the phone outlet. ISDN terminals and additional ISDN outlets are connected to the NT.
O
Open listening
At the touch of a key, all those present in a room can listen in to a phone call via an
integrated loudspeaker. See also "Handsfree talking".
Outgoing MSN, freely selectable
A feature which helps you to individually determine which MSN should be used for
the following call. This is not only important for the phone number display on the
called handset but also for billing charges. This is because call charges, which can be
broken down free of charge according to MSN on the network provider invoice, are
billed according to the MSN used to make the call.
P
Parking
A call is parked when you want to unplug the telephone during a call, or you want
to continue your call from another telephone with the same connection. The connection is retained while it is parked.
Phonebook
An added feature on a phone allowing the name and phone number of several users
to be stored. The phone numbers can quickly be found and dialled.
PIN

e.g., system PIN, answering machine PIN, handset PIN.
Plugging to bus
TP, Terminal Portability. Also called parking. An incoming call can be held at the local
exchange for up to three minutes to then be accepted, for example, by another
phone, a fax machine or a PC. In the meanwhile the caller hears an appropriate
announcement.
Pre-dialling, see also "Block dialling"
For some telephones with a display you can enter the phone number first, and check
it once more before dialling.

Repeater
A repeater increases the range of a handset connected to a base station. The device
receives the radio signal from the base station and broadcasts it further.
Ring delay
For each internal party, you can specify how many rings take place before this party
hears the ring. This can also be set for each MSN phone number.
For example, your handset, in addition to the base telephone (which rings on the
first ring) could ring after three rings for the private phone number, and ring on the
