Version 8, 03.09.2008
The Provider field shows the name of the selected provider or Other Provider.
A link to the provider's homepage is displayed where available.
To complete configuration of your VoIP connection, enter your account data
in the
Personal Provider Data area.
Area:
Personal Provider Data
Enter the configuration data that is necessary for accessing your VoIP provider's
SIP service. This data can be obtained from your VoIP provider.
The field names in this area (
Authentication Name, etc.) listed in the following are
standard names and may change. If you have already downloaded the pro-
vider's general details ("
Select VoIP Provider" button, see above), field entries will
be replaced by provider-specific names to facilitate orientation (e.g. SIP-ID
instead of
Authentication Name).
Authentication Name
Specify the registration or authentication ID agreed with your VoIP provider
(maximum 32 digits). The registration ID serves as the access ID that your
phone must specify when registering with the SIP proxy/registrar server. The
Authentication Name is usually identical to the Username, i.e. to your Internet
phone number.
Authentication password
Enter the password that you have agreed with your VoIP provider in the Authen-
tication password
field (maximum 32 characters). The phone needs the pass-
word when registering with the SIP proxy/registrar server.
Username Enter the caller ID for your VoIP provider account (maximum 32 characters).
This ID is usually identical to the first part of your SIP address (URI, your Internet
phone number).
Display name (optional)
Enter any name that should be shown in the other caller's display when you call
them via the Internet (example: Anna Sand). All characters in the UTF8 charac-
ter set (Unicode) are permitted. The name must not exceed 32 characters.
If you do not enter a name, your
Username or your VoIP phone number is dis-
played.
Ask your VoIP provider if this feature is supported.
Please note
After the first download of the VoIP provider settings, your phone will check
daily whether a newer version of the file for your VoIP provider is available via
the Internet on the Gigaset configuration server (
£
Page 90).
Example
Example: If your SIP address is "987654321@provider.com", enter
"987654321" as the
Username.
