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
Emergency numbers
Dialing plans for emergency numbers (e.g. the local emergency service
number) are preset for certain countries. Emergency calls are then always
made via the fixed line network.
You cannot delete or deactivate these dialing plans. However, you can change
the connection through which each emergency number should be called (e.g.
if the phone is not connected to the fixed line network). You must make sure
that the VoIP provider for the selected connection supports emergency calls.
If your phone does not have default dialing plans for emergency calls, define
the rules yourself (
£
Page 123). Assign them to a connection that you know
supports emergency calls. Calls to emergency numbers are always supported
by fixed line networks.
Ending a call
a Press the End Call key.
Accepting a call
The handset indicates an incoming call in three ways: by ringing, by a display
on the screen and by the flashing Handsfree key d.
You can accept the call by:
¤ Pressing the Talk key c.
¤ Pressing the Handsfree key d.
If the handset is in the charging cradle and the
Auto Answer function is activated
(£ Page 80), the handset will take a call automatically when you lift it out of
the cradle.
To deactivate the ringer, press the
§Menu§ Display key and select Silent. You can
accept the call as long as it is displayed on the screen.
Please note
u If no rules are defined for emergency numbers and you have programmed
an automatic local area code (£
Page 122), the code will be prefixed to
emergency numbers as soon as they are dialed via a VoIP connection.
u Emergency numbers cannot be dialed if the keypad lock is activated. Before
dialing, press and hold the Pound key #, to release the keypad lock.
Please note
Only calls to receive numbers assigned to your handset will be signaled
(£
Page 120). The following conditions apply in particular:
u Calls made to a number that is not assigned to a handset as a receive
number will be signaled on all handsets.
u If you have not assigned receive numbers to any of the handsets, calls to all
connections will be signaled on all handsets.
u Calls to your IP address are always signaled on all handsets.
