Using the network mailbox
Gigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / T-NetBox_SAG-registration.fm / 24.04.2009

Using the network mailbox
Some fixed network providers and VoIP providers offer answer machines on the
network – these are known as network mailboxes.
Each network mailbox accepts incoming calls made via the corresponding line
(fixed line network or corresponding VoIP phone number). To record all calls,
you should therefore set up network mailboxes for both the fixed line network
and for each of your VoIP connections.
ú You can activate/deactivate the network mailboxes for your VoIP connections
using the Web configurator. To do this, you only need the network mailbox
phone number.
For information activating/deactivating network mailboxes via the Web config-
urator and to change their assigned numbers,
£
Page 125.
ú You need to have requested the network mailbox for your fixed line network
connection from your fixed line network provider. You can store the phone
number for the fixed line network mailbox in the Web configurator on the base
station (
£
Page 125).
You cannot activate/deactivate the network mailbox for the fixed line network
connection via the Web configurator. For activating/deactivating the network
mailbox for the fixed line network connection please refer to the fixed line net-
work provider's information.
Configuring the network mailbox for fast access
With fast access you can dial a network mailbox directly.
Assigning key 1 of the handset, changing assignments
The setting for fast access is handset-specific. You can assign a different mail-
box to key on each registered handset.
No mailbox is preconfigured for fast access in the default settings.
Prerequisites:
u At least one receive number is assigned to the handset.
u The corresponding network mailbox has been entered and activated for at
least one of the receive numbers on the handset.
Fast access has not yet been set on the handset:
Press and hold key .
Please note
u For many VoIP network mailboxes, the phone number is automatically
saved on the base station when the general VoIP provider data is down-
loaded.
u If you have registered a Gigaset C47H, S67H or S68H handset to your base
station, you can also enter and activate the network mailbox via this hand-
set. For further information on this, read the user guide for the Gigaset
C470 IP or S675 IP on the Internet.
