Version 8, 03.09.2008
In VoIP networks, voice quality is affected by various things including the "Qual-
ity of Service" (QoS). If the entire infrastructure demonstrates QoS, voice qual-
ity is higher (fewer delays, less echoing, less crackling, etc.).
If, for example, the router does not have QoS, then the voice quality is not as
good. Please see the specialist documentation for further information.
Setting the telephone's default connection
The default telephone connection defines which line type (VoIP or fixed line
network) will be used to dial numbers when you briefly press the c Talk key.
The default connection is applied to all registered handsets.
¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Number Assignment.
Area
Default Connection
¤ Select the default connection for your phone. This can be done by selecting
option
VoIP or Fixed Line after Linetype for outgoing calls.
¤ Select
Set to activate your settings.
Activating the fixed line network connection as an alternate
connection
You can activate the fixed line network connection on your phone as an alter-
nate connection. If an attempt to establish a connection via VoIP then fails, an
attempt is made automatically to establish the connection via the fixed line
network.
An alternate connection would be used in the following cases:
u Your VoIP connections are busy.
u The SIP server for the VoIP connection cannot be accessed.
u The dialed VoIP connection has not (yet) been configured correctly
(e.g. incorrect password).
u The base station does not have a connection to the Internet, e.g. because
your router is deactivated or not connected to the Internet.
¤ Open the following Web page:
Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Number Assignment.
Please note
u The default connection is only relevant when dialing numbers that are not
subject to dialing plans and are entered without a line suffix.
u You can change the settings for the default connection via any registered
handset (£
Page 86).
Exceptions
If a URI or IP address is dialed instead of a phone number, the connection can-
not be created via the fixed line network.
