Activating the fixed line network connection as an alternative
connection
You can activate the fixed line network connection on your phone as an alternative con-
nection. 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 alternative 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 dialled VoIP connection has not yet been configured or has not been configured cor-
rectly (e.g. incorrect password)
u the base does not have a connection to the Internet, e.g. because your router is deacti-
vated or not connected to the Internet.
¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Number Assignment.
Area Default Connection
¤ If you want to activate the fixed line network connection as an alternative connection,
click the Yes option next to Automatic Fallback to Fixed Line. Select No to deactivate the
function.
¤ Now select Set to activate your settings.
Exceptions
u SMS messages that are to be sent via a VoIP connection are not sent via the fixed line
network connection as an alternative. The SMS message is stored in the incoming mes-
sage list with an error status. Your handset's message key will flash.
u If you enter a VoIP line suffix (#1 to #6) or press the §IP§ display key before dialling, the
connection is not established over the fixed line network as an alternative.
u If you dial a URI or IP address instead of a phone number, the connection cannot be
established via the fixed line network.
