Making calls with VoIP and the fixed line network
Gigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / telephony.fm / 24.04.2009
Version 8, 03.09.2008
~ Enter the number of the party you wish to call.
~ Add the suffix of the connection (your phone number) from which
the call is to be made and charged to.
c Press the Talk key.
The connection is always made via the line with the assigned suffix, regardless
of whether you press the Talk key c briefly or press and hold.
Entering an IP address (provider-dependent)
You can also dial an IP address instead of a phone number using VoIP.
¤ Press the Asterisk key * to separate the sections of the IP address
(e.g. 149*246*122*28).
¤ If necessary press the Pound #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.
If your VoIP provider does not support the choice of IP addresses, each part of
the address will be interpreted as a normal phone number.
Canceling the dialing operation
You can cancel the dialing operation with the End Call key a.
Dialing emergency numbers – defining dialing plans
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 num-
bers (
Dialing Plans,
£
Page 123).
If you enter a number that has a defined dialing plan, the call will be made via
the line defined in the dialing plan – regardless of whether the Talk key is
pressed briefly or pressed and held. Any automatic area code will not be pre-
fixed to the number.
Example
If you enter the number 1234567890#1 and press the Talk key c, the
number 1234567890 will be dialed via the first VoIP connection in the config-
uration.
Please note
u If you specify a suffix for which no VoIP connection is configured in your
base station, the VoIP status code 0x33 is displayed. The number will not be
dialed.
u If you have activated the option
Automatic Fallback to Fixed Line with the Web
configurator (£
Page 119):
If the attempt to establish a connection fails, an attempt is made automat-
ically to establish the connection via the fixed line network.
