Entering an HTTP proxy server (only when connected to an
internal company network)
This section amends the chapter "Web configurator – IP configuration" in the user guide for your
Gigaset VoIP phone.
Direct connections between network subscribers and the Internet are often not permitted
within internal company or organisation networks (intranet). In such cases, all HTTP calls
from the network are "transferred" by a proxy server. The proxy server is a computer or pro-
gram within the network.
If your phone is connected to such a network, you must store the address of this HTTP proxy
server on the phone and activate handling of HTTP calls via the HTTP proxy server.
Only then will you be able to access, for example, the Gigaset.net directories, use the
Info Center or obtain weather information etc. in idle display (information services).
¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ IP Configuration.
Area: HTTP proxy
Enable proxy
¤ Click the Yes option if your phone is to handle HTTP calls via your network's HTTP
proxy server.
¤ If you select No, the phone will attempt to access the Internet directly.
Proxy server address
¤ Enter the URL of the proxy server to which your phone is to send HTTP calls. The proxy
server then creates the connection to the Internet.
Proxy server port
¤ Enter the communication port used on the HTTP proxy server (number between 0
and 55000). It is mainly port 80 that is used.
¤ Now select Set to save your settings.
