Activating a new connection
If you have configured a new VoIP connection, you must also activate it.
In the
Connections list:
¤ Activate the relevant option in the
Active column ( = activated).
Your phone will register itself with the VoIP provider using the relevant access
data. Refresh the Web page (e.g. by pressing F5).
The
Status Registered column will appear if registration was successful. You can
now be reached on this VoIP phone number.
Configuring the fixed line connection
You can assign a name to your fixed line connection. This name is used to dis-
play the connection on the handset and the Web configurator interface, e.g.
during allocation of send and receive numbers (
£
Page 120), for the call dis-
play (£
Page 42).
¤ Open the following Web page:
Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Connections.
¤ Select the
Edit button in the Fixed Line Connection area.
¤ Enter your fixed line network number or the name of your choice
(maximum 16 characters) for your fixed line connection in the
Connection
Name or Number
field. The default is "Fixed Line".
Configuring the Gigaset.net connection
Your phone is assigned a Gigaset.net phone number by default. As soon as you
have connected your phone to the Internet, you can make calls using the
Gigaset.net and receive calls from other Gigaset.net subscribers, provided that
your Gigaset.net connection has been activated. You can deactivate the
Gigaset.net connection.
Activating/deactivating the Gigaset.net connection
¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Connections. The list
of connections is displayed (£ Figure 3 on Page 106).
¤ In the
Gigaset.net area: use the option in the Active column to activate ( )
or deactivate ( ) the Gigaset.net connection.
Please note
If you do not make any entries for a longer period, the connection to the Web
configurator is automatically terminated. Unsaved entries are lost. If neces-
sary, save intermittently. You can subsequently continue the entry and make
changes if necessary.
Please note
Once the new entry has been made, the VoIP phone number is assigned to
each handset as a receive number. For adjusting the assignment,
