Entering an HTTP proxy server
(only when connected to an internal company network)
Direct connections between network participants and the Internet are often
not permitted within internal company or organization networks (intranet). In
such cases, all HTTP calls from the network are "transferred" by a proxy server.
The proxy server is a computer or program within the network.
If your phone is connected to such a network, you must store the address of this
HTTP proxy server on the phone and activate handling of HTTP calls via the
HTTP proxy server.
Only then will you be able to access, for example, the Gigaset.net directory or
obtain weather information, etc. in idle display (information services).
¤ Open the following Web page:
Settings ¢ IP Configuration.
Area:
HTTP proxy
Enable proxy
Click the Yes option if your phone is to handle HTTP calls via your network's
HTTP proxy server.
If you select No, the phone attempts to access the Internet directly.
Proxy server address
Enter the URL (£
Page 183) of the proxy server to which your phone is to send
HTTP calls. The proxy server then creates the connection to the Internet.
Proxy server port
Specify the communication port used on the HTTP proxy server (number
between 0 and 55000). Port 80 is usually assigned.
¤ Select
Set to save your settings.
