Gigaset S685/S675 IP – more than just a telephone
Gigaset S685/S675 IP –
more than just a telephone
Your phone lets you make calls both via
the fixed line network and (cost effectively) via the Internet (VoIP) without using a PC.
Your phone can do much more besides:
u Make calls with brilliant sound quality
(High Definition Sound Performance
HDSP, page 9) – for internal calls or
calls via VoIP.
u Press a button each time you make a
call to indicate whether you want to call
via the fixed line network or the Internet (page 26).
u Register up to six handsets on your
base station. With your base station,
you can simultaneously conduct two
calls via VoIP and one call via the fixed
line network.
u Multiline: Create up to six VoIP
accounts with different VoIP providers.
Together with your fixed line number
and the Gigaset.net number, your
phone can then be reached via up to
eightdifferent phone numbers.
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 120).
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 (page 27).
u Setting dialling plans for phone num-
bers or area codes enables you to automate the selection of the most costeffective VoIP connection (page 124).
u Determine which of your phone
numbers should be answered by the
Gigaset S675/S685 IP answer machine
(page 121).
u Use Gigaset.net for VoIP calls. Connect
your phone to the mains power supply
and the Internet, and enjoy free phone
calls on Gigaset.net – without making
any further settings (page 34).
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 16).
u If necessary, make any further VoIP set-
tings on a PC. The phone features a
Web inte rface (Web configurator) that
can be accessed via your PC's Web
browser (page 104).
u Use instant messaging on your hand-
set. Go online and see which of your
messenger contacts (buddies) are also
online. Exchange SMS messages with
your buddies or simply give them a call
(page 71). A free messenger account is
already set up for you on the
Gigaset.net Jabber server (page 127).
u Let your phone tell you, without
requiring a PC, about new e-mail mes-
sages in your mailbox (page 68). Use
your handset to delete old e-mail messages from your mailbox.
u Make sure your phone is always up-to-
date. Keep yourself informed about
firmware updates on the Internet and
download them onto your phone
(page 98).
u Reduce the transmission power of the
base station and handset. Activate eco
mode on your phone (page 20).
u Use your Gigaset S68H handset for
wireless communication with other
Bluetooth devices using Bluetooth™
(e.g. headset, PDA, page 93).
Your Gigaset S685/S675 IP has a protected
operating system that offers increased secu-
rity against viruses from the Internet.
Enjoy using your new phone!

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 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.siemens.com/gigasetcustomercare
Here, go to the FAQ page and select
your Gigaset IP phone. Search for
"Router", for example.
u Access to the services of a VoIP pro-
vider. Open up to six accounts with different VoIP providers.
Gigaset HDSP – telephony
with brilliant sound quality
You r Gigase t IP
phone 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 (page 117).
– Your VoIP provider supports broad-
band connections.
– The recipient's phone supports
codec G.722 and accepts the establishment of a broadband connection.
Please note:
The VoIP service Gigaset.net (page 34)
supports broadband connections.

Making 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.
The following phone settings are necessary in order for you to use VoIP. You can
obtain the following information from
your VoIP provider:
u Your user name with the VoIP provider,
if this is required by the VoIP provider
u Your regi str ati on n ame
u Your password with the VoIP provider
u VoIP provider general settings
The connection assistant will help you
with the settings.
Automatic configuration:
If your provider supports "automatic configuration", you will receive an "auto configuration
code" 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 (see page 104
"Connecting PC with Web configurator" and
page 111 "Configuring the VoIP connection")
You can now establish VoIP connections
within Gigaset.net (page 34).
15
First steps
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 (page 15).
Tip: Leave VoIP activated as the default
connection for your telephone (default
setting, page 98). The telephone then
attempts to establish a connection directly
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 (page 18).
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 is activated. Turn to page 101 to find out how to
assign your phone a static IP address if necessary.
As soon as the handset battery is sufficiently charged, the message key f on
the handset will flash (approx. 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:

mission power is dependent on the
handset's proximity to the base station.
u The base station can also be switched
to eco mode. Eco mode reduces the
transmission power and power consumption of the base station. This can
be set on your handset.
Activating/deactivating eco mode
Precondition: Repeater support must be
deactivated.

Eco ModeSelect and press §OK§ (=on).
Eco mode enables an additional reduction
in the transmission power of the Gigaset S67H/S68H handset. If, with Eco mode
activated, the transmission power of both
the base station and the handset is
reduced, the ½ icon is shown in the top
line of the display.
‰
Please note:
– Activating eco mode reduces the range of
the base station.
– Eco mode and repeater support cancel each
other out, i.e. both functions cannot be
used at the same time.

Making calls with VoIP and the fixed line network
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 type you want to
use for a specific call when you dial the
number.
Please note:
– You can conduct up to three separate exter-
nal calls via your base station (using different handsets): two calls via VoIP and one
via the fixed line network.
– You can define dialling plans for certain
numbers or area codes by determining the
connection and therefore the billing
method to be used (cost control, see
page 124) when these numbers are dialled.
– Dialling with the directory (page 41), quick
dial keys (page 87) or last number redial list
(page 48) saves repeated keying of phone
numbers. You can modify or add to these
numbers on a call-to-call basis.
– 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 avoid having to dial
your own area code by entering it into the
configuration (page 123). Your area code is
then added automatically when you make
local calls.
Use the talk key to select the type of
connection and make the call
By briefly pressing or pressing and holding
the call key c, you can determine the
type of connection for the call you want to
make (fixed line network or VoIP).
Precondition: You enter the number without a line suffix (page 27) and have not
defined any dialling plans for this number.
~cEnter number (without suffix)
and briefly press/press and hold the talk key.
A default connection is established on
your phone (fixed line network or VoIP,
page 98/page 119).
¤ Briefly press the talk key c if you
want to make a call via this default connection.
¤ Press and hold the talk key c if you
want to make the call via the other connection type.
If you have assigned a number of VoIP
numbers to your phone, you can define
which VoIP number (VoIP account) is used
for external calls from each specific handset (handset send number, page 120).
Please note:
If you are using a GAP compatible handset
other than the Gigaset handsets C47H, S67H,
S68H, SL37H, S45 and C45, every call will be
made via the standard connection, even if you
press and hold the talk key. If you want to use
the non-default connection to make a call,
enter a star (*) at the end of the number.
Selecting the connection type using
display keys and making a call
Precondition: The display keys on your
handset have been assigned
§IP§ (page 87).
or
§FixedLine§ / §IP§
Press the display key to select
the connection type.
~sEnter the number or select
from the directory.
c / d Press the talk or handsfree key.
The number will always be called via the
selected connection type.
§FixedLine§ and/
26
Making calls with VoIP and the fixed line network
Please note:
If you have pressed the §IP§ before dialling and
...
– ... dialled the number with suffix #1 to #6,
your call will be made via the VoIP account
assigned to the suffix. The number will not
be dialled if the suffix is invalid (e.g. no VoIP
connection assigned).
– ... dialled the number without a suffix or
with the suffix #0, your call will be made via
the handset's VoIP send number.
Do not enter a suffix if you have pressed the
display key §FixedLine§ prior to dialling. Otherwise the suffix will be dialled together with the
number via the fixed line network. This may
cause errors!
Select and dial a connection via your line
suffix
You can configure up to six VoIP numbers
on your phone in addition to the fixed line
network number and the Gigaset.net
number. A (line) suffix is assigned to each
number (line) of your phone:
u the fixed line number has the suffix #0
u VoIP numbers have the suffixes #1 to
#6 (page 111)
u 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 for the connec-
tion (your phone number)
through which you wish to
make and pay for the call.
cPress the talk key.
The connection is always made via the line
with the assigned suffix, regardless of
whether you press the call 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:
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.
Entering an IP address
You can also dial an IP address instead of a
phone number using VoIP.
¤ Press the star key * to separate the
sections of the IP address
(e.g. 149*246*122*28).
¤ If necessary press the hash # key to
attach the SIP port number of the person you are calling to the IP address
(e.g. 149*246*122*28#5060).
You cannot dial IP addresses using a line
suffix.
Cancelling the dialling operation
You can cancel the dialling operation with
the end call key a.
Gigaset S68H: Continuing a call on a
Bluetooth headset
Precondition: Bluetooth is activated; a
connection has been established between
the Bluetooth headset and the handset
(page 94).
Press the talk key on the Bluetooth headset; it may take up to 5 seconds to establish a connection to the handset.
For further details about your headset, see
the user guide issued with it.
You can use the Web configurator to block
certain numbers or to define which of
your numbers (fixed line network, VoIP)
should be used to call specific numbers
(Dialling Plans, see page 124).
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 factory-set 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 your phone does not have default dialling plans for emergency calls, you should
define the rules yourself (page 124).
Assign them to a connection that you
know supports emergency calls. Emergency calls are always supported by fixed
line networks.
Please note: If no rules are defined for
emergency numbers and you have programmed an automatic local area code
(page 123), the code will be prefixed to
emergency numbers as soon as they are
dialled via a VoIP connection.
Ending a call
aPress the end call key.
Accepting a call
The handset indicates an incoming call in
three ways: by ringing, by a display on the
screen and by the flashing handsfree key
d.
Please note:
Only calls to receive numbers assigned to your
handset will be signalled (page 120).
Calls made to a number that is not assigned to
a handset as a receive number will not be signalled on any handset.
You can accept the call by:
¤ Pressing the talk key c.
¤ Pressing the handsfree key d.
¤ Pressing the display key Ÿ to for-
ward the call to the answer machine
(page 65).
If the handset is in the charging cradle and
the Auto Answer function is activated
(page 88), the handset will take a call
automatically when you lift it out of the
cradle.
If the ringer tone is intrusive, press the
§Silence§ display key. You can accept the call
so long as it is displayed on the screen.
Please note:
You can reject VoIP calls by pressing the end
call key a. The caller receives an appropriate
message.
Pressing the end call key on an incoming call
from the fixed line network will cancel the
ringer tone (same as §Silence§).
Please note:
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the
keypad lock is activated. Before dialling, press
and hold the hash key
keypad lock.

Calling Line Identification
When you receive a call from the Internet,
the caller's number and/or the name they
have specified is displayed on the screen.
When you receive a call from the fixed line
network, the caller's number is displayed
on the screen if the following conditions
are met:
u Your fixed line network provider sup-
ports CLIP, CLI:
– CLI (Calling Line Identification):
number of the caller is transmitted
– CLIP (Calling Line Identification Pres-
entation): the caller's number is displayed
u You have arranged CLIP with your net-
work provider.
u The caller has arranged CLI with the
network provider.
If the phone number is identified and the
caller's number is saved in your handset's
local directory, the name will be displayed
from the directory. A CLIP image allocated
to the name will also appear in the display.
If the caller's phone number is not saved in
the local directory the caller's surname
and first name will be displayed from the
currently active online directory.
Precondition: You have activated this
option (see Web configurator page 129).
