Setting up the phone – installation wizard
Please note
If you have connected your Gigaset N510 IP PRO to a Gigaset PRO PABX (e.g., Gigaset T500 PRO or Gigaset T300 PRO), use the PABX VoIP configuration.
Your Gigaset N510 IP PRO searches the network for a provisioning file and checks whether VoIP accounts already exist. If the phone has existing VoIP accounts, these accounts are configured automatically. You can now make calls with your phone via the Internet.
If the telephone has no existing VoIP accounts, you must configure them manually. This process is described below.
Your phone should be automatically assigned an IP address by the router (i.e., DHCP is enabled on router and phone).
In exceptional cases (e.g., if DHCP is not enabled on the router), you will have to assign a fixed IP address to the base for LAN access. You must enter this IP address on the handset before carrying out the following steps (→ page 78).
In order to be able to make calls with your telephone over the Internet, you must configure at least one VoIP connection on your telephone. You can configure VoIP connections using the following methods:
◆ Using a Web browser on your PC to access the telephone Web configurator, → Quick Start Wizard, page 96.
◆Using your telephone's installation wizard on a connected Gigaset handset. This method is described below using the Gigaset SL610 PRO handset as an example. Configuration is the same for Gigaset C610H, SL78H, SL400H, S79H and S810H.
Auto configuration:
The configuration process for VoIP connections is automated for some VoIP providers. The provider creates a configuration file with all required VoIP access data (the general VoIP provider data and your personal account data). This file is placed on a configuration server on the Internet for downloading to your phone.
Your provider gives you a configuration code.
The installation wizard on your phone ( → page 17) prompts you to enter the code at the relevant point. All the required VoIP data is then downloaded automatically onto your phone.
The configuration file is only transferred via a secure connection (TLS authentication). If the TLS authentication fails, the message key ☑ flashes. Press the message key to display the Certificate error - Please check your certificates in the Web configurator. message. Press the right display key to confirm the message.
Log in to the Web configurator ( → page 89).
The Security ( → page 98) Web page tells you why the secure connection could not be established and what you can do.
If the configuration file fails to download (e.g., because the configuration server is not available), the phone keeps trying to establish a connection until the file is downloaded successfully to the phone.
If VoIP connections have not yet been generated on the phone, you can start the installation wizard directly on the handset. The wizard allows you to make all necessary settings for your phone.
Two individual wizards are combined to form the installation wizard:
1 IP wizard
2 Connection wizard
Launching the installation wizard

If the handset battery has sufficient charge, the message key ☑ on your handset will flash.
▶ Press the message key 📧.
1. IP wizard – making VoIP settings
You will see the following display:

Before you can use VoIP to phone any other numbers over the Internet, the fixed line or the mobile network, you need the services of a VoIP provider which supports the VoIP SIP standard.
Prerequisite: You have registered with a VoIP provider (e.g., via your PC) and set up at least one VoIP account (IP account).
To use VoIP, you now need to enter the access data for your VoIP account. You will receive all the necessary data from your VoIP provider. This will include:
Either:
◆Your username (if requested by the VoIP provider).
This is the username of your IP account (caller ID), and is frequently identical to your phone number.
◆Your authentication name or login ID
◆The (login) password registered with the VoIP provider
◆General settings for your VoIP provider (server addresses etc.)
Or:
◆An auto configuration code (activation code)
Your Gigaset phone's IP wizard can help you make these entries.

◆ If the phone cannot establish a connection to the router, the message IP address not available is displayed.
Check the plug connection between the router and the base and check the settings on the router.
Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assignment of the IP address. In order for your router to "recognise" the phone, dynamic IP address assignment must also be activated on the router, i.e., the router's DHCP server must be activated.
If the DHCP server cannot or should not be activated, you must assign a fixed IP address to the phone (→ page 78).
If the phone cannot establish a connection to the Internet, the message Internet connection not available is displayed.
The IP server may be temporarily unavailable. In this case, try to make a connection again later.
Otherwise, check the plug connection between the router and the modem or DSL connection and check the settings on the router.

Contacts
You can make calls on a Gigaset handset connected to your base.
Please note
You can make up to four external calls at the same time via your base, depending on the quality of your DSL connection.
Making an external call
External calls are calls made via the public telephone network (fixed line, mobile phone network) or via the Internet (VoIP).
To make an external call, you need to define one of the phone connections as a send connection. You have the following options:
Assign a connection to the handset as a send connection permanently (→ page 81). If necessary, you can use a "fallback" connection via a display key (→ page 76).
◆Select a send connection on the handset each time you make a call.
Permanently assigned send connection
Prerequisite:
A specific connection is assigned to the handset as a send connection ( → page 81).


Enter the number and press the talk key.
The number is dialled.
Or:

Press and hold. A list of your phone's connections will be displayed.

Select a line.

Press the display key or the middle of the control key.

Enter the number. The number is dialled approximately 3.5 seconds after the last digit is entered.
Instead of the talk key ↗, you can also press the speaker key □ on the handset to make a call in speaker mode.
In this user manual, each of these variants is indicated by "Press the talk key".
The dialled number and the send connection used are shown in the display (e.g., via IP2). The connection name you have assigned is displayed where available. Otherwise, the default name is used.
Please note
If you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed line, you may also have to dial the area code for local calls (depending on the provider). You can avoid having to dial your own area code by entering it in the configuration and activating the Predial area code for local calls via VoIP option (see Web configurator, → page 103).
Selecting a line for each call
Prerequisite: "Sel. at each call" has been assigned to the handset instead of a send connection (→ page 81).


Enter the number and press the talk key. The list of all the phone's connections is displayed.

Select a line.


Press the display key or the middle of the control key.
If a dialling plan has been defined for the dialled phone number ( → page 102), then the send connection specified in the dialling plan is used.
Please note
◆ You can cancel the dialling process with the end call key 🔒.
◆ You are shown the duration of the call while the call is in progress.
◆ Dialling using the directories or the handset's call and redial lists saves you retyping numbers.
If you have multiple handsets registered to the base, you can make internal calls free of charge (page 71).
Using an alternative connection/connection list on the display key
Prerequisite: You have assigned an "alternative connection" or the list with all configured connections to a display key on the handset ( → page 76).
Sel.Conn.
Press the display key.

Select a line.


Press the talk key or display key.

Enter a number. The number is dialled approximately 3.5 seconds after the last digit is entered.
Any dialling plan ( → page 102) that has been defined for the dialled phone number is ignored. The selected send connection is always used.
Calling an IP address (provider-dependent)
You can also dial an IP address instead of a phone number.
▶ Press the star key * △ to separate the sections of the IP address (e.g. 149*246*122*28).
▶ If necessary, press the hash # -# key to attach the SIP port number of the person you are calling to the IP address (e.g. 149*246*122*28#5060).
If your VoIP provider does not support the dialling of IP addresses, each part of the address will be interpreted as a normal phone number.
Displaying the phone number you are calling (COLP)
Prerequisites:
- Your network provider supports COLP (Connected Line Identification Presentation). You may need to activate COLP with the provider (ask your provider about this).
◆ The called party has not activated COLR (Connected Line Identification Restriction).
For outgoing calls, the phone number of the connection on which the call is received is displayed on the handset.
The displayed number may differ from the number you have dialled. Examples:
◆The called party has activated call divert.
◆The call is answered by another connection within a PABX system.
If there is an entry in the directory for this phone number, the corresponding name will be displayed.
Please note
◆The actual number of the connection you have reached (or the assigned name) is displayed instead of the called number during call swapping, conference calls and consultation calls.
- When the phone number is copied to the directory and the redial list, the dialled number (not the displayed number) is copied.
Ending a call

Press the end call key.
Accepting a call
An incoming call is indicated on a Gigaset handset in three ways: by ringing, by a display on the screen and by the talk speaker key ↗.
Please note
Only calls to the receive connections assigned to the handset are signalled ( → page 82).
The following applies in particular if VoIP connections are configured on your base:
If you have not assigned the receive connections on your phone, all incoming calls are signalled on all registered handsets.
If you have assigned connections but not assigned a connection to any handset as the receive connection, calls on this connection will not be signalled.
If a call cannot be assigned to any connection on the phone, this call is signalled on all handsets.
You can accept the call on the handset by:
▶ Pressing the talk key ↗.
▶ Pressing the speaker key ☐.
To deactivate the ringtone, press the Silence display key. You can accept the call as long as it is displayed on the screen.
If you press the end call key ☐, the call is rejected.
Calling Line Identification
When you receive a call, the caller's number and/or name is displayed on the screen if the following prerequisites are met:
◆Your network provider supports CLIP, CLI and CNIP.
- CLI (Calling Line Identification): The caller's number is transmitted.
- CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation): The caller's number is displayed.
– CNIP (Calling Name Identification Presentation): The caller's name is displayed.
◆You have requested CLIP or CNIP from your network provider.
◆The caller has requested CLI from the network provider.
Call display
If the caller's number is in the handset's directory, the caller's name will be shown.
You can use the display to decide which receive connection the call is directed to.
Example of display:

1 Number or name of caller
2 Receive connection: Indicates which of your phone numbers the caller has dialled. The name you set when configuring the phone or the default name is displayed (IP1 to IP6).
The following is displayed instead of the number:
◆External, if no number is transmitted.
Adopting the name from the online directory
Instead of the phone number appearing in the call display, you can display the name under which the caller is saved in the online directory.
Prerequisites:
◆ The provider of the online directory you have set for your telephone supports this function.
◆ You have activated the "Display of caller's name" function via the Web configurator.
◆ The caller has requested Calling Line Identification and has not suppressed the function.
◆Your telephone is connected to the Internet.
◆The caller's number is not saved in the handset's local directory.
Display with CNIP
If you have CNIP, then the name (location) that is registered with your network provider for the caller's number is displayed. If the number of the caller is stored in your directory, the CNIP display is replaced by the corresponding directory entry.
Example of display:

1 Caller's number
2 Name and location
Notes on phone number display (CLIP)
The number of the caller is shown in the display of your Gigaset phone handset by default. You do not have to change any other settings on your Gigaset telephone.
However, if the caller's number is not displayed, this can be due to the following:
◆You have not requested CLIP from your provider
- Your telephone is connected via a PABX or a router with an integrated PABX (gateway) that does not transmit all information.
Is your telephone connected via a PABX/gateway?
You can establish this by checking for an additional device connected between your telephone and home connection, e.g., a PABX, gateway etc. In most cases, simply resetting this device will remedy the situation:
▶ Briefly disconnect the PABX power plug. Re-insert the plug and wait for the device to restart.
If the caller number is still not displayed:
▶ Check the CLIP (phone number display) settings of your PABX and activate this function if necessary. In the user manual for the device, search for the term "CLIP" (or an alternative term such as "calling line identification", "phone number transmission", "caller ID" etc.). If necessary, contact the device manufacturer.
If this does not resolve the problem, it is possible that your network provider does not provide the CLIP service for this number.
Have you requested the phone number display service from your network provider?
▶ Check whether your provider supports phone number display (CLIP) and that the function has been activated for you. If necessary, contact your provider.
Additional information on this subject can be found on the Gigaset website at: www.gigaset.com/pro/wiki
Gigaset HDSP – telephony with brilliant sound quality

Your Gigaset telephone supports the broadband codec G.722. You can therefore use it to make calls with brilliant sound quality (High Definition Sound Performance).
If you register broadband-capable handsets with your base, internal calls between these handsets will also be made via broadband.
The following are prerequisites for broadband connections on your
telephone:
◆For internal calls:
The handsets involved are broadband-capable, i.e., they support codec G.722.
◆For external calls via VoIP:
- You make the call from a broadband-capable handset.
- You have selected codec G.722 for outgoing calls.
- Your VoIP provider supports broadband connections.
– The recipient's phone supports codec G.722 and accepts the establishment of a broadband connection.
Select services are functions that your network provider makes available to you.
Please note:
- Some settings cannot be made simultaneously on multiple handsets. If this is the case, you will hear a negative acknowledge tone.
- Some select services may only be used if you have requested them from your network provider (there may be an extra charge).
▶ If you require assistance, please contact your network provider.
Below are instructions on using and setting up the select services on your telephone, using a Gigaset SL610H PRO/C610H handset by way of example.

The phone establishes a connection to the POP3 server. A list of e-mail messages that are stored there is displayed.
New unread messages appear above old read messages. The most recent entry is at the head of the list.
The following details are displayed for each e-mail: name or e-mail address of the sender (one line, abbreviated if necessary) and date and time (date and time will only display correct values if sender and recipient are located in the same time zone).
Example display on the Gigaset SL610 PRO handset:

1 E-mail address or name transmitted by the sender (abbreviated if necessary) Bold: New message.
All e-mail messages that were not present in the incoming e-mail server when the inbox was last opened are identified as "new". All other e-mails are not marked, regardless of whether or not they have been read.
2 Date and time of receipt of e-mail message
If the inbox on the POP3 server is empty, No entries will appear in the display.
Please note
Many e-mail providers activate spam protection measures by default. E-mail messages classified as spam are stored in a separate folder and are therefore not shown in the incoming mail list.
Some e-mail providers allow you to deactivate spam protection or show spam e-mails in the incoming mail list.
Other e-mail providers may send a message to the inbox when a new spam e-mail is received. This is to inform you that a suspected spam e-mail has been received.
The date and sender of this mail are repeatedly updated, so that it is always displayed as a new message.
Messages when establishing a connection
The following problems may occur when connecting to the POP3 server. The messages are shown in the display for a few seconds.

Reducing energy consumption
Your telephone has a power-saving adapter plug and uses less power.
Reducing radiation
The radiation from your telephone is reduced automatically: the closer the handset is to the base, the lower the radiation.
You can reduce the radiation from the handset and the base even more by using Eco Mode:
Eco Mode
Reduces the radiation of the base and handset by 80% – whether you are making a call or not. Eco Mode reduces the range of the base by approx. 50%. It is always better to use Eco Mode when a reduced range is sufficient.
Switching off radiation
◆Eco Mode+
When you activate Eco Mode+, the radiation (DECT transmission power) of the base and handset is switched off automatically and only turns on when calls are made. This is also true when multiple handsets are used, if the handsets support Eco Mode+.
Eco Mode/Eco Mode+ can be activated/deactivated independently of one another and can also be used with multiple handsets.
Activate/deactivate Eco Mode/Eco Mode+:
→ Settings → Eco Mode → Eco Mode / Eco Mode+
Change Press the display key (☑ = on).
If Eco Mode / Eco Mode+ is activated/deactivated, this will normally be indicated in the display of the connected handset.
Status displays on the Gigaset SL610H PRO/C610H handset

| green | Eco Mode and Eco Mode+ enabled |
Please note
When using Eco Mode+, you can ensure that the range of the base is sufficient by pressing and holding the talk key ☐. You hear the dial tone if the base can be reached.
◆ When Eco Mode+ is enabled:
- Call setup is delayed by approx. 2 seconds.
- Handset standby time is reduced by approx. 50% .
◆ Registering handsets that do not support Eco Mode+ causes the mode to be deactivated on the base and all other handsets.
◆ Activating Eco Mode reduces the range of the base.
◆ Eco Mode / Eco Mode+ and repeater support (→ page 83) cancel each other out, i.e., if you use a repeater, you cannot use Eco Mode and Eco Mode+.
You can register up to six handsets and six Gigaset repeaters to your base.
Each registered device is assigned an internal number (1–6) and an internal name (INT 1–INT 6). You can change the number assignment and names.
If you register a seventh handset the last registered handset will be de-registered automatically.
When you register a Gigaset handset, the base transfers entries for the following online directories to the local directory on the handset to enable you to use the online directories on your new handset as well.
Prerequisite: The handset can send and receive directory entries (see handset user manual).
◆ The currently set online directory (→ page 106) with a provider-specific name.
◆ The currently set Yellow Pages (→ page 106) with a provider-specific name.
◆ The currently set private net directory named Prv.NetDir.
Successful registration is acknowledged briefly with the message Data Transfer x entries received for this reason.

Prerequisite: Your base is connected to a router or a PC ( → page 10).
An IP address is required in order for the LAN to "recognise" your phone.
The IP address can be assigned to the phone automatically (by the router) or manually.
If done dynamically, the router's DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to the phone. The base's IP address can be changed according to router settings.
With manual/static assignment, you assign a static IP address to the phone. This may be necessary depending on your network configuration (e.g., if your phone is connected directly to a PC).
Please note
To assign the IP address dynamically, the DHCP server on the router must be activated. Please also read the user manual for your router.
→ Settings → System → Local Network
If the system PIN is not 0000: enter the system PIN and press OK.
▶You can enter data in the following fields:
IP Address Type
Select Static or Dynamic.
For IP Address Type Dynamic:
The following fields show the current settings that the phone obtained from the router. These settings cannot be changed.
For IP Address Type Static:
You must manually define the IP address and the subnet mask for the phone as well as the default gateway and DNS server in the following fields.
For IP Address Type Static:
IP Address
Enter the IP address that is to be assigned to the phone (overwriting the current settings).
The default is 192.168.1.2.
For information on the IP address, see the glossary ( → page 127).
Subnet Mask
Enter the subnet mask to be assigned to the phone (overwriting the current settings).
The default setting is 255.255.255.0
For information on the subnet mask, see the glossary ( → page 132).
DNS Server
Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. The DNS server (Domain Name System, → page 124) converts the symbolic name of a server (DNS name) into the public IP address for the server when the connection is made.
You can specify your router's IP address here. The router forwards phone address requests to its DNS server.
The default is 192.168.1.1.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address for the default gateway ( → page 126) through which the local network is connected to the Internet. This is generally the local (private) IP address for your router (e.g., 192.168.1.1). Your phone requires this information to be able to access the Internet.
The default is 192.168.1.1.
▶ Press Save to save the settings.
Please note
You can also make local network settings via the Web configurator ( → page 97).
Configuring VoIP connections
You can configure up to six VoIP connections on your telephone, i.e., you can assign up to six VoIP phone numbers to your phone.
You need to set up an IP account (VoIP account) with a VoIP provider for each connection. You must save the access data for this IP account on your phone. The IP wizard will help you to do this.
Launching the IP wizard:

Functions of the Web configurator
Quick Start Wizard
The Quick Start Wizard helps you configure your VoIP connection. It is provided on the home page if no VoIP account has been configured yet.
Please note
If you have already set up a VoIP account, you can use the Settings menu to set up further accounts or to change the settings for an existing account:
Settings → Telephony → Connections (→ page 99)
The Quick Start Wizard guides you step by step through all configuration stages. Follow the instructions on the pages.
▶ Click [Next >] if you have filled in the fields of a page. Click [< Back] if you want to change a previous page. Use [Cancel] to close the configuration assistant.
▶ Make sure you have the registration data or the auto configuration code for your VoIP provider to hand before you begin the configuration.
There are various ways of configuring a VoIP connection:
- Some providers support auto configuration with an auto configuration code. If you have received a configuration code from your provider, on the first page of the assistant select Yes for Auto Configuration Code available. In the next steps you will only need to enter this code. All necessary VoIP data is downloaded automatically.
◆ Provider profiles with the general provider data are available to download from the Gigaset configuration server for the main VoIP providers.
If you select No for Auto Configuration Code available, in the next steps you will be prompted to select your country first and then your provider. The provider profile is downloaded to the phone. You then have to enter the data for your VoIP account.
In exceptional cases, you may also have to adjust the settings to suit the settings for your router. To do this, use the Telephony → Connections page on the Settings tab, → page 99.
◆There is no provider profile for your provider.
If this is the case, you must enter all settings yourself via the Telephony
→ Connections page on the Settings tab, → page 99. Your VoIP provider will give you the necessary data.
Connecting the base to the local network (LAN/router)
You can find the functions for connecting to the LAN on the Web page:
Settings → Network → IP Configuration
In most cases, special settings are not required to connect the phone to the router/a local network. Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assignment of the IP address by default (DHCP). In order for your router to "recognise" the phone, dynamic IP address assignment must also be activated on the router, i.e., the router's DHCP server must be activated.
If the DHCP server cannot or should not be activated, you must assign a fixed/static IP address to the phone ( → page 78). A fixed IP address is useful, for example, if port forwarding or a DMZ is set up on the router for the phone.
You can also assign a static IP address via a handset.
The [Show Advanced Settings] button provides access to settings that you need if you connect your phone to a large (company-wide or organisation-wide) network, or if you want to manage the phone remotely using the Web configurator.
You can:
◆ Specify the address of a HTTP proxy server within the LAN that the phone can use to establish connections to the Internet if direct access is not allowed in the LAN.
◆ Store VLAN Identifier/VLAN Priority for access to a tagged VLAN.
◆Allow PCs outside your LAN to connect to the Web configurator.
Warning
◆ Authorising access from other networks increases the risk of unauthorised access. It is therefore recommended that you disable remote access if you no longer require it.
◆The Web configurator can only be accessed from other networks if your router passes on the service requests from "outside" to port 80 (the default port) of the phone. Make sure you read the user manual for your router.
Making security settings – managing certificates for TLS authentication
The phone supports the establishment of secure data connections on the Internet with the TLS security protocol (Transport Layer Security). With TLS, the client (the phone) uses certificates to identify the server. These certificates must be stored on the base.
You can manage TLS certificates using the Web page:
Settings → Network → Security
This page contains the Server Certificates/CA Certificates lists. They contain the certificates saved in the base. The certificates have either already been saved on the base by default, or you have downloaded them to your base via the Security Settings Web page.
The Invalid Certificates list contains the certificates received from servers that have not passed the certificate check when establishing a connection, and certificates from the Server Certificates/CA Certificates lists that have become invalid (e.g., because they have expired).
You can remove certificates and download new certificates to the base, and you can also accept or reject invalid certificates.
If the connection to a data server on the Internet is not made because the phone does not accept the certificate received from the server (e.g., when downloading your e-mail messages from the POP3 server), you will be prompted to open the Security Settings Web page.
The Invalid Certificates list contains the certificate used to make the connection. You can display information on the certificate by marking it and clicking the [Details] button. This information includes who issued the certificate (certification authority) and who for, as well at its validity period.
You must use the information to decide whether to accept or reject the certificate.
If you accept the certificate, depending on its type, it is transferred to one of the Server Certificates/CA Certificates lists (even if it has already expired). If a server responds again with this certificate, this connection is accepted immediately.
If you decline the certificate, it is transferred to the Server Certificates list with the label (rejected). If a server responds again with this certificate, this connection is rejected immediately.
Managing base connections – activating/deactivating connections
You can manage your base connections using the Web page:
Settings → Telephony → Connections
This Web page displays a list with all possible connections and your status (e.g., connected, registered):
IP Connections
You can assign up to six VoIP connections (VoIP phone numbers) to your phone. You need to set up a VoIP account with a VoIP provider for each VoIP phone number. You must save the access data for each account and for the relevant VoIP provider in the phone.
A list entry is available for each VoIP connection; this is used to configure and manage the connection.
▶ To do this, click the corresponding [Edit] button.
Configuring/deleting VoIP connections
To configure and delete VoIP connections, open the Web page
Settings → Telephony → Connections
▶ Click the [Edit] button next to the list entry for the VoIP connection.
This opens a Web page which you can use to set up a new account or to change the data of an existing one.
To set up a new VoIP account in the VoIP Configuration / Profile Download area, click [Start Configuration Assistant] and then go through the steps of the configuration assistant, → page 96.
In the other areas you can change the data of an existing account.
◆Personal Provider Data
◆General data of your service provider
◆Network data for your service provider
If in the configuration assistant you have selected a provider for which there is no profile available, you must enter all data for the VoIP account here. Your VoIP provider will give you this data.
- If you cannot hear the caller on an outgoing call, you may have to switch between outbound proxy server mode and STUN use. In the sent data packets, the STUN or outbound server replaces the private IP address of your phone with its public IP address. If you operate your phone behind a router with symmetric NAT, STUN cannot be used.
- If you are sometimes unavailable for incoming calls, you may have to adjust the value in NAT refresh time:
If you have not activated port forwarding or set up a DMZ on the router for the phone, an entry in the routing table for the NAT (in the router) is required to make the phone available. The phone must confirm this entry in the routing table at certain intervals (NAT refresh time) so that the entry stays in the routing table.
For detailed information on the areas, see the online Help for this Web page. Open the online Help by clicking the question mark (at the top right of the Web page).
Optimising voice quality for VoIP connections
Functions to improve the voice quality on VoIP connections are available on the Web page:
Settings → Telephony → Audio
The voice quality for VoIP connections is mainly determined by the voice codec used for transferring the data and the available bandwidth of your DSL connection.
In the case of the voice codec, the voice data is digitised (coded/ decoded) and compressed. A "better" codec (better voice quality) means more data needs to be transferred, i.e., perfect voice data transfer requires a DSL connection with a larger bandwidth.
You can change the voice quality by selecting (bearing in mind the bandwidth of your DSL connection) the voice codecs your phone is to use, and specifying the order in which the codecs are to be suggested when a VoIP connection is established.
Default settings for the codecs used are stored in your phone; one setting optimised for low bandwidths and one for high bandwidths.
You can generally select one of these standard settings for all VoIP connections on your phone. If your DSL connection has a low bandwidth, you can also exclude parallel VoIP connection to increase the voice quality.
You can also change the settings for the voice codecs yourself by selecting the voice codecs to be used for each VoIP connection on your phone and specifying the sequence in which they should be suggested when establishing a VoIP connection.
The following voice codecs are supported by your phone:
G.722
Excellent voice quality. The broadband speech codec G.722 works at the same bit rate as G.711 (64 kbit/s per speech connection) but with a higher sampling rate. This allows higher frequencies to be played back. The speech tone is therefore clearer and better than for the other codecs (High Definition Sound Performance).
G.711 a law / G.711 μ law
Excellent voice quality (comparable with ISDN). The necessary bandwidth is 64 kbit/s per voice connection.
G.726
Good voice quality (inferior to that with G.711 but better than with G.729).
Your phone supports G.726 with a transmission rate of 32 kbit/s per voice connection.
G.729
Average voice quality. The necessary bandwidth is less than or equal to 8 kbit/s per voice connection.
To save additional bandwidth and transmission capacity, on VoIP connections that use the G.729 codec you can suppress the transmission of voice packets in pauses ("silence suppression"). Instead of the background noises in your environment, your caller then hears a synthetic noise generated in the receiver (option: Enable Annex B for codec G.729).
Please note
Observe the following for good voice quality:
- When making calls using VoIP, avoid performing other Internet activities (e.g., surfing the Internet).
◆ Please note that voice delays can occur depending on the codec used and the network capacity utilisation.
Assigning send and receive connections
For the number assignment, open the Web page:
Settings → Telephony → Number Assignment
Assign send and receive connections to the registered handsets.
Please note:
During registration, each handset is automatically assigned the first configured VoIP connection as a send connection and all base connections as receive connections.
- You can assign each handset either a fixed send connection or a line selection. With line selection, you choose the connection to be used for each call.
Please note
◆You can override the assignment of the send connection for certain phone numbers by defining dialling plans for these numbers.
◆ For number assignment → page 81.
Changing the name of the handsets
You can also use this page to change the name of the handsets.
Activating call divert
The settings for call divert are on the Web page:
Settings → Telephony → Call Divert
You can divert calls to your VoIP connections to any external number (VoIP, fixed line or mobile number).
For each of your VoIP connections (VoIP accounts), you can determine if and when calls to the corresponding VoIP number should be diverted to a different VoIP phone number.
User-defined dialling plans – specifying rules for telephony
You can define your own dialling plans in the Dialling Plans area on the Web page:
Settings → Telephony → Dialling Plans
You can specify the following dialling plans:
- You can define a connection for specific phone numbers, which is always to be used to dial these numbers and therefore also for billing, and define if the number is to be dialled with the area code.
If you enter only a few digits (e.g., local area, national or mobile network code), any call to a number beginning with these digits will be made via the selected connection.
◆ If you block specific phone numbers, your phone will not establish a connection to these numbers (e.g., 0190 or 0900 numbers).
These dialling plans apply to all registered handsets. The send connection settings are inactive when you dial numbers that are governed by a dialling plan.
You can activate and deactivate the dialling plans as required.
Please note
Dialling plans, with the exception of a block, are not effective if you have assigned the line selection to a display key on the handset and you explicitly choose a send connection from the list of available connections before dialling.
Tip:
Compare the rates for long-distance calls (especially for international calls) offered by your VoIP providers, and determine which connection should be used specifically for these countries/locations, e.g., a dialling plan for the Phone Number "0033" would apply to every call made to France.
Please note
If dialling plans overlap, the one with the greatest concordance will apply.
Example:
There is a dialling plan for the number "02" and one for the number "023". If you dial "0231..." the second plan will apply; if you dial "0208..." the first plan will apply.
Examples
All calls to the mobile phone network should be made via your VoIP connection with provider B.
Dialling plans:
Phone Number = 017 Connection = IP3, provider B
and the corresponding entries for "015" and "016".
Access codes – activating dialling plans when connecting to a PABX
If your phone is connected to a PABX, you may have to enter an access code for external calls (outside line code, e.g., "0").
Save an access code and specify when the phone numbers should be automatically pre-fixed with the digits. You can choose between All, None and from Call Lists (only when dialling from the call list or an answering machine list).
These settings are available in the Access Code area on the Web page:
Settings → Telephony → Dialling Plans
Activating local area codes for calls using VoIP
If you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed line, you may also have to dial the area code for local calls (depending on the provider). You can avoid having to enter your own local area code by entering the full area code (with the international code) for the location where you are using the phone in the phone configuration.
These settings are available in the Area Codes area on the Web page:
Settings → Management → Local Settings
Entering the network mailbox, enabling/disabling the network mailbox
A list of the network mailboxes for all connections on your phone is available on the Web page:
Settings → Telephony → Network Mailboxes
You can enter the phone numbers for the network mailboxes in this list.
You can use this list to activate/deactivate the network mailboxes for all configured VoIP connections.
Setting DTMF signalling for VoIP
You can change the settings for DTMF signalling in the DTMF over VoIP connections area on the Web page:
Settings → Telephony → Advanced VoIP Settings
DTMF signalling is required, for example, for querying and controlling certain network mailboxes via digit codes or for remote operation of an answering machine.
To send DTMF signals via VoIP you must first define how key codes should be converted into and sent as DTMF signals: as audible information via the speech channel or as an "SIP Info" message. Ask your VoIP provider which type of DTMF transmission it supports.
You can configure your telephone in such a way that it attempts with each call to set the most suitable DTMF signalling for the current codec (Automatic).
Or you can explicitly define the type of DTMF signalling:
◆ Audio or RFC 2833 if DTMF signals are to be transmitted acoustically (in voice packets).
◆ SIP Info if DTMF signals are to be transmitted as code.
Please note
◆ The settings for DTMF signalling apply to all VoIP connections (VoIP accounts).
◆ DTMF signals cannot be transmitted in the audio path (Audio) on broadband connections (the G.722 codec is used).
Configuring call transfer via VoIP
You can change the settings for call transfer in the Call Transfer area on the Web page:
Settings → Telephony → Advanced VoIP Settings
You can connect an external call to one of your VoIP connections with a second external participant (depending on the provider). You do this by establishing an external consultation call to the second participant and pressing the R key on the handset once you have registered the second participant. The call is transferred.
You can expand or change the settings for call transfer as follows:
◆ You can activate call transfer by ending the call. The two external participants are connected with one another when you press the end call key 📞 on the handset. Your connections with the participants are terminated.
- You can activate direct call transfer. You can then transfer the call before the second participant has answered.
- You can deactivate call transfer with the R key if you want to assign a different feature to the R key (see below "Defining R key functions for VoIP (hook flash)").
Defining R key functions for VoIP (hook flash)
You can specify the function for the R key on the Web page:
Settings → Telephony → Advanced VoIP Settings
Your VoIP provider may support special performance features. To make use of these features, your phone needs to send a specific signal (data packet) to the SIP server. You can assign this "signal" as the R function to the R key of the handsets. Prerequisite: The R key is not used for call divert (default setting, see above).
If you press this key during a VoIP call, the signal is sent. This requires that DTMF signalling via SIP info messages is activated on the phone (see above).
Defining local communication ports (listen ports) for VoIP
The settings for the communication ports are on the Web page:
Settings → Telephony → Advanced VoIP Settings
The following communication ports are used for VoIP telephony:
◆SIP port
The communication port via which the phone receives (SIP) signalling data. The default standard port number is set to 5060 for SIP signalling.
◆RTP port
Two consecutive RTP ports (consecutive port numbers) are required for each VoIP connection. Voice data is received via one port and control data via the other. The default standard port number is set to 5004 for voice transmission.
This setting only has to be changed if the port numbers are already being used by other subscribers in the LAN. You can then specify other fixed port numbers or port number ranges for the SIP and RTP port.
If several VoIP phones are operated on the same router with NAT, it makes sense to use randomly selected ports. The phones must then use different ports so that the router's NAT is only able to forward incoming calls and voice data to one (the intended) phone. Use the Web configurator to specify a port number range for the SIP and RTP port that the ports are chosen from.
Making settings for access to Internet services
You can use the following Internet services on your phone.
◆E-mail notifications
You can set up up to six e-mail accounts. In order to use the e-mail function of your base, you have to save the addresses of the POP3 servers and your personal access data for your mailboxes in the base.
You can also specify the time interval at which your phone should check whether the POP3 servers has received new e-mail messages, and specify whether authentication on the POP3 servers should be carried out via a secure connection.
You can change the settings on the Web page:
Settings → Messaging → E-Mail
◆MWI Light
The message key LED of the handsets connected to the base indicate if a new message, e.g., a new e-mail, has been received. You can define separately for each handset which kind of new received messages are to be indicated.
You can change the settings on the Web page:
Settings → Messaging → MWI Light
◆Online directories
You have to select the provider whose online directories you want to use on the registered handsets.
You can set the Display of caller's name option, depending on the provider selected. This means that the name of the caller is read from the online directory for incoming calls and shown on the display (where the handset's local directory does not contain an entry for the caller's number).
You can change the settings on the Web page:
Settings → Online Directory
◆Managing the synchronisation of the base with a time server
By default, your phone is configured so that the date/time is transferred from a time server on the Internet.
Changes to the settings for the time server and activation/deactivation of the synchronisation are done via the Web page:
Settings → Management → Date & Time
Deleting handset directories and downloading to/from the PC
You will find the functions for editing the telephone/address books (both referred to as "directories" hereafter) on the Web page:
Settings → Directories → Directory Transfer
The Web configurator has the following options for editing the directories of the registered handsets.
◆ Store the directories on a PC. Entries are stored in vCard format in a vcf file on the PC. You can download these files onto every registered handset. You can also copy directory entries to your PC address book.
◆ Copy contact details from your PC address book to handset directories. Export the contacts in vcf files (vCards) and transfer them to directories for the handsets using the Web configurator.
◆Delete the directory on the handset.
If you have edited the directory file (vcf file) on the PC and would like to load this modified directory to the handset, you can delete the current directory on the handset before the transfer.
Tip: Back up the current directory on your PC before deleting it. You can then reload it if the modified directory is affected by formatting errors and some, or all, of it cannot be loaded onto the handset.
Please note
◆You can find information on vCard format (vcf) on the Internet, e.g., at:
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard (English) or
www.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard (German)
(You can set the display language at the bottom left-hand side in the navigation area of the Web page.)
If you wish to copy a directory (vcf file) with multiple entries stored on the PC to the Microsoft Outlook™ directory, please proceed as follows:
Microsoft Outlook™ only ever transfers the first (directory) entry from the vcf file to its address book.
Transfer rules
The directory entries from a vcf file that are loaded onto the handset will be added to the directory. If an entry already exists for a name, it will either be supplemented or a new entry for the name will be created. The process will not overwrite or delete any phone numbers.
Please note
Depending on your device type, up to three entries with the same name are created in the directory for each vCard – one entry per entered number.
Directory file content (vcf file)
The following data (if available) is written into the vcf file for entry into the directory or transferred from a vcf file into the handset directory:
Surname
◆First name
◆Number
◆Number (office)
◆Number (mobile)
◆E-mail address
◆ Birthday (YYYY-MM-DD) and time of the reminder call (HH:MM) separated by a "T" (example: 2008-12-24T11:00).
Other information that a vCard may contain is not entered into the handset directory.
Example of an entry in vCard format:

Changing the base settings, registering handsets
You can use the Web configurator to:
◆ Switch the base to registration mode to register handsets to the base. This setting corresponds to pressing and holding the registration/paging button on the front of the base.
◆ Activate or deactivate Eco Mode or Eco Mode+. For Eco Mode see page 67.
◆ Change the system PIN (→ page 77) for your phone.
◆ Activate and deactivate the LED for the registration/paging button on the front of the base. See page 3 for the meaning of the LED.
◆Activate/deactivate the display of VoIP status messages on your handset.
The base settings are on the Web page
Settings → Management → Miscellaneous
Restarting the device or restoring the factory settings
If your telephone no longer works as expected you can restart it. In most cases this will solve the problem.
You can also reset the phone to its factory settings, e.g., if you give your device to a third party. This deletes all settings, lists and directory entries!
You can restart the device or restore the factory settings via the Web page:
Settings → Management → Reboot & Reset
Saving and restoring system settings
Once you have configured your base and after each configuration change, you can save the current base settings in a file on the PC (suffix .cfg).
If you change the settings accidentally or you need to reset the base due to a fault (base reset), you can reload the saved settings from the file on your PC to your phone.
The contents of the .cfg file include:
◆The settings for the local network (IP configuration)
◆The data for the (VoIP) connections established
◆The assignment of send and receive connections
◆Your own local area code and access code
◆The network mailbox number
◆The Internet services settings
◆The ECO DECT settings.
You can save and restore the system settings via the Web page:
Settings → Management → Save & Restore
Updating firmware for the base/downgrading firmware updates
You can start firmware updates and downgrades via the Web page:
Settings → Management → Firmware Update
Regular updates to the base firmware and the provider profile for your VoIP connections (general provider data) are made available on an Internet configuration server. You can download these updates onto your base as required. The URL for this server is stored in the base.
You have the following options:
◆Starting a firmware update
If a new version of the firmware is available, this is downloaded to the base and the base is restarted. A firmware update lasts around six minutes. The duration also depends on the bandwidth of your DSL connection. The firmware is only loaded from the Internet server if you have not entered a local file in the User defined firmware file field prior to the update.
◆Downgrading firmware
You have the following options:
- You can reload the firmware version that was loaded before the last update on the base.
- You can reload the firmware version that was loaded by default onto the phone.
The selected firmware is reloaded onto the phone and the current firmware is overwritten.
◆Starting a profile update
New profiles will be loaded onto the base, if available.
Displaying the phone status
The Status tab displays, for example, the following information about the phone:
Status → Device
◆IP and MAC address for the base as well as the name used in the network
◆Version of the firmware currently loaded
The version is shown in the following format: aa.bbb (aabbbzzzzzzzz)
aa denotes the phone's product variant, bbb is the version of the firmware and zzzzzzz the sub-version (only significant for the service)
Edition 42.0450 means that version 45 of the firmware is currently loaded on your base.
◆A list of the registered handsets
◆Current time and date

Information on operating Gigaset VoIP telephones with routers with Network Address Translation (NAT)
In general no special telephone or router configuration is required when operating a Gigaset VoIP phone with NAT router. The configuration settings described in this section are only necessary if you encounter one of the following problems.
Typical problems caused by NAT
◆ No incoming calls are possible via VoIP. Calls to your VoIP phone number are not put through.
◆Outgoing calls via VoIP are not connected.
◆ A connection is established with the other party, but you cannot hear them and/or they cannot hear you.
Possible solution
1 Change the port numbers of the communication ports (SIP and RTP ports) on your phone ( → "1. Changing the port numbers for SIP and RTP on your VoIP phone").
2 In some cases, you must also define port forwarding for the phone's communication ports on the router ( → "2. Setting port forwarding on the router").
1. Changing the port numbers for SIP and RTP on your VoIP phone
On your VoIP phone, define different (local) port numbers for the SIP and RTP ports (between 1024 and 49152).
◆These numbers must not be used by any other application or host in the LAN and
- must be considerably higher or lower than the SIP and RTP port numbers that you usually use (and are preset on the phone).
This procedure is particularly useful if additional VoIP phones are connected to the router.
To change the SIP and RTP port numbers on your VoIP phone, proceed as follows:
▶ Connect your PC's browser to the Web configurator of the phone and log in.
▶ Open the Web page Settings → Telephony → Advanced VoIP Settings and change the settings for the SIP and RTP ports (page 114).
To help you remember the new port numbers (e.g., for router configuration), you can choose port numbers that are very similar to the standard settings, e.g.:
SIP port 49060 instead of 5060
RTP port 49004 to 49010
instead of 5004 to 5010
▶ Save the changes on your phone.
▶ Wait for the active VoIP connections to be re-registered. To do so, switch to the Web page Settings → Telephony → Connections to see the Status of your VoIP connections.
▶ Check to see whether the problem persists. If it does, perform step 2.
2. Setting port forwarding on the router
To ensure that your specified SIP and RTP port numbers are used on the WAN interface with the public IP address, you must define port forwarding rules for the SIP and RTP ports on the router.
To define port forwarding on the router, proceed as follows:
The terms used below may vary from router to router.
To release a port, you must enter the following details (example):
| Protocol | Public port | Local port | Local host (IP) | |
| UDP 49060 | 49060 | 192.168.2.10 for SIP | ||
| UDP 49004 | 49010 | 49004–49010 | 192.168.2.10 for RTP | |
Protocol
Enter UDP as the protocol to be used.
Public port
Port number/port number range on the WAN interface
Local port
The SIP and RTP port numbers set on the phone.
In the new firmware version for Gigaset VoIP telephones, you can set a RTP port range. In this case, you must also define corresponding port forwarding for this range.
Local host (IP)
Local IP address of your phone in the LAN. You can see the phone's current IP address in the handset display by pressing the paging button on the base.
To enable the router to perform this port forwarding, the DHCP settings of the router must ensure that the phone is always assigned the same local IP address, i.e., the DHCP does not change the IP address assigned to the phone during operation. Alternatively, you can assign a fixed (static) ID address to the phone. However, you must ensure that this IP address is not within the address range reserved for DHCP and is not assigned to any other LAN subscriber.
VoIP status codes
In the following tables you will find the meaning of the most important VoIP status codes and messages.
| Status code | Meaning |
| 0x31 IP config | guration error:IP domain not entered. |
| 0x33 IP config | guration error:SIP username (Authentication) not entered.This is shown, for example, when dialling with a line suffix, if no connection is configured for the suffix on the base. |
| 0x34 IP config | guration error:SIP password (Authentication) not entered. |
| 0x300 The called party can be reached under multiple phone numbers. If the VoIP provider supports this, a list of the phone numbers is transmitted as well as the status code. The caller can select the number to which he wants to make the connection. | |
| 0x301 Permanently diverted.The called party can no longer be reached under this number. The new number is transferred to the phone together with the status code, and the phone then no longer accesses the old number but dials the new address immediately. | |
| 0x302 Temporarily diverted.The phone is informed that the called party cannot be reached under the dialled number. The call is diverted for a limited period. The phone is also notified of the length of the diversion. | |
| 0x305 The query is sent to a different "proxy server", e.g., to balance incoming queries. The phone will make the same query once again to another proxy server. This is not a redirection of the address per se. | |
| 0x380 Other service:The query or call could not be transferred. However, the phone is notified of other options available to connect the call. | |
| 0x400 Wrong call | |
| 0x401 Not authorised | |
| 0x403 The requested service is not supported by the VoIP provider. | |
| 0x404 Wrong phone number.No connection on this number.Example: While making a local call you have not dialled the area code although your VoIP provider does not support local calls. | |
| 0x405 Method not permitted. | |
| 0x406 Not acceptable.The requested service cannot be provided. | |
| 0x407 Proxy authentication required. | |
| 0x408 The party cannot be reached (e.g., account has been deleted). | |
| 0x410 The requested service is not available from the VoIP provider. | |
| 0x413 Message is too long. | |
| 0x414 URI is too long. | |
| 0x415 Query | format is not supported. |
| 0x416 URI is | faulty. |
| 0x420 Incorrect ending | |
| 0x421 Incorrect ending | |
| 0x423 The requested service is not supported by the VoIP provider. | |
| 0x480 The dialled number is temporarily unavailable. | |
| 0x481 The recipient is not available. | |
| 0x482 Double service query | |
| 0x483 Too many "jumps":The query was rejected because the service server (proxy) has decided that this query has already passed through too many service servers. The maximum number is defined beforehand by the original sender of the query. | |
| 0x484 Wrong number:In most cases this response means that you have simply omitted one or more digits in the phone number. | |
| 0x485 The URI dialled is not unique and cannot be processed by the VoIP provider. | |
| 0x486 The called party is busy. | |
| 0x487 General faults:The call was cancelled before a call was established. The status code confirms receipt of the interruption signal. | |
| 0x488 The server cannot process the query because the data entered in the media description is not compatible. | |
| 0x491 The server reports that the query will be processed as soon as a previous query has been completed. | |
| 0x493 The server rejects the query because the phone cannot decrypt the message. The sender has used an encryption method that either the server or the receiver phone cannot decrypt. | |
| 0x500 | The proxy or the receiving device has discovered a fault while executing the query. It is therefore impossible to execute the query. If this occurs, the caller or the phone displays the fault and repeats the query after a few seconds. The number of seconds after which the query can be repeated may be transmitted to the caller or phone by the receiving device. |
| 0x501 The query cannot be processed by the recipient because the recipient does not have the functionality that the caller requires. If the recipient understands the query but does not process it because the sender does not have the necessary rights or the query is not permitted in the current context, status code 405 is transmitted instead of 501. | |
| 0x502 | In this case, the receiving device that transmits this error code is a proxy or a gateway and has received an invalid response from its gateway via which this query is to be processed. |
| 0x503 The query cannot be processed by the receiving device or the proxy at present because the server is either overloaded or is being serviced. If it is possible for the query to be repeated in the foreseeable future, the server informs the caller or the phone of this. | |
| 0x504 Time | limit exceeded at the gateway |
| 0x505 The server rejects the query because the indicated version number of the SIP protocol does not concur with at least the version that is used by the server or SIP device involved in this query. | |
| 0x515 The server rejects the query because the message exceeds the maximum permitted size. | |
| 0x600 The called party is busy. | |
| 0x603 The called party has rejected the call. | |
| 0x604 The called URI does not exist. | |
| 0x606 The communication settings are not acceptable. | |
| 0x701 The called party has hung up. | |
| 0x703 Connection cancelled because of timeout. | |
| 0x704 Connection interrupted because of an SIP error. | |
| 0x705 Wrong dialling tone | |
| 0x706 No connection established | |
| 0x751 Busy tone:No codec match between the calling and called party. | |
| 0x810 General socket layer error: User is not authorised. | |
| 0x811 General socket layer error:Wrong socket number | |
| 0x812 General socket layer error: Socket is not connected. | |
| 0x813 General socket layer error: Memory error | |
| 0x814 General socket layer error: Socket not available – check IP settings/connection problem/VolP setting incorrect. | |
| 0x815 General socket layer error: Illegal application on the socket interface. | |

A
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
Special form of DSL.
ALG
Application Layer Gateway
NAT control mechanism of a router.
Many routers with integrated NAT use ALG. ALG lets the data packets in a VoIP connection pass and adds the public IP address of the secure private network.
The router's ALG should be deactivated if the VoIP provider offers a STUN server or an outbound proxy.
See also: Firewall, NAT, Outbound proxy, STUN.
Authentication
Restriction of access to a network/service by using an ID and password to log in.
Automatic ringback
See Ringback when the number is busy.
B
Block dialling
Enter the complete phone number, and correct it if necessary. Then pick up the ear-piece or press the talk/speaker key to dial the phone number.
Broadband Internet access
See DSL.
C
Call divert
CD
Automatic diversion (CD) of a call to a different telephone number. There are three kinds of call divert:
– CDU, Call Divert Unconditional
– CDB, Call Divert Busy
- CDNR, Call Divert No Reply
Call swapping
Call swapping allows you to switch between two callers or between a conference and an individual caller without allowing the waiting caller to listen to the call.
Call waiting
=CW.
Network provider feature. A beep during a call indicates that another caller is waiting. You can accept or reject the second call. You can activate/deactivate the feature.
CF
Call Forwarding
See Call divert.
Client
Application that requests a service from a server.
Codec
Coder/decoder
Codec is a procedure that digitises and compresses analogue voice before it is sent via the Internet, and decodes – i.e., translates into analogue voice – digital data when voice packets are received. There are different codecs with differing degrees of compression, for instance.
Both parties involved in the telephone connection (caller/sender and recipient) must use the same codec. This is negotiated between the sender and the recipient when establishing a connection.
The choice of codec is a compromise between voice quality, transmission speed and the necessary bandwidth. A high level of compression, for example, means that the bandwidth required for each voice connection is low. However, it also means that the time needed to compress/decompress the data is greater, which increases execution time for data in the network and thus impairs voice quality. The time required increases the delay between the sender speaking and the recipient hearing what has been said.
COLP/COLR
Connected Line Identification Presentation/Restriction
Feature provided by a VoIP/ISDN connection for outgoing calls.
COLP displays the phone number accepting the call on the calling party's display unit.
The number of the party accepting the call is different to the dialled number, e.g., if the call is diverted or transferred.
The called party can use COLR (Connected Line Identification Restriction) to prevent the number from appearing on the calling party's display.
Consultation call
You are on a call. With a consultation call, you interrupt the conversation briefly to establish a second connection to another participant. If you end the connection to this participant immediately, then this was a consultation call. If you switch between the first and second participant, it is called Call swapping.
CW
Call Waiting
See Call waiting.
D
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Internet protocol that handles the automatic assignment of IP addresses to Network subscriber. The protocol is made available in the network by a server. A DHCP server can, for example, be a router.
The phone contains a DHCP client. A router that contains a DHCP server can assign the IP addresses for the phone automatically from a defined address block. The dynamic assignment means that several Network subscribers can share one IP address, although they can only use it alternately and not simultaneously.
With some routers you can specify that the IP address for the phone is never changed.
Display name
VoIP provider feature. You can specify any name that is to be shown to the other party during a call instead of your phone number.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
DMZ describes a part of a network that is outside the firewall.
A DMZ is set up, as it were, between a network you want to protect (e.g., a LAN) and a non-secure network (e.g., the Internet). A DMZ permits unrestricted access from the Internet to only one or a few network components, while the other network components remain secure behind the firewall.
DNS
Domain Name System
Hierarchical system that permits the assignment of IP addresses to Domain names that are easier to memorise. This assignment has to be managed by a local DNS server in each (W)LAN. The local DNS server determines the IP address, if necessary by enquiring about superordinate DNS servers and other local DNS servers on the Internet.
You can specify the IP address of the primary/secondary DNS server.
See also: DynDNS.
Domain name
Name of one (of several) Web server(s) on the Internet (e.g., gigaset.com). The domain name is assigned to the relevant IP address by DNS.
DSCP
Differentiated Service Code Point
See Quality of Service (QoS).
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line
Data transfer technology that allows Internet access with e.g., 1.5 Mbps over a conventional telephone line. Prerequisites: DSL modem and the appropriate service offered by the Internet provider.
DSLAM
Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer
The DSLAM is a switch cabinet in an exchange at which all subscriber connectors converge.
DTMF
Dual Tone Multi-Frequency
Dual tone multi-frequency dialling (DTMF).
Dynamic IP address
A dynamic IP address is assigned to a network component automatically via DHCP.
The dynamic IP address for a network component can change every time it registers or at certain time intervals.
See also: Fixed IP address.
DynDNS
Dynamic DNS
Domain names and IP addresses are assigned via DNS. For Dynamic IP addresses this service is enhanced with "Dynamic DNS". This permits the use of a network component with a dynamic IP address as a Server on the Internet. DynDNS ensures that a service can always be addressed on the Internet under the same Domain name, regardless of the current IP address.
E
ECT
Explicit Call Transfer
Participant A calls participant B. The participant puts the connection on hold and calls participant C. Rather than connect everyone in a three-party conference, A now transfers participant B to C and hangs up.
EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
Memory building block in your phone with fixed data (e.g., default and customised settings) and data saved automatically (e.g., call list entries).
Ethernet network
Wired LAN.
F
Firewall
You can use a firewall to protect your network against unauthorised external access. This involves combining various measures and technologies (hardware and/or software) to control the flow of data between a private network you wish to protect and an unprotected network (e.g., the Internet).
See also: NAT.
Firmware
Device software in which basic information is saved for the functioning of a device. To correct errors or update the device software, a new version of the firmware can be loaded into the device's memory (firmware update).
Fixed IP address
A fixed IP address is assigned to a network component manually during network configuration. Unlike the Dynamic IP address, a fixed IP address does not change.
Flat rate
Billing system for an Internet connection. The Internet provider charges a set monthly fee. There are no additional charges for the duration of the connection or number of connections.
Fragmentation
Data packets that are too big are split into smaller packets (fragments) before they are transferred. They are put together again when they reach the recipient (defragmented).
Full duplex
Data transmission mode in which data can be sent and received at the same time.
G
G.711 a law, G.711 μ law
Standard for a Codec.
G.711 delivers very good voice quality that corresponds to that in the ISDN network. As there is little compression, the necessary bandwidth is around 64 kbit/s per voice connection, but the delay caused by coding/decoding is only approx. 0.125 ms.
"a law" describes the European standard and "μ law" describes the North American/Japanese equivalent.
G.722
Standard for a Codec.
G.722 is a broadband language codec with a bandwidth of 50 Hz to 7 kHz, a net transmission rate of 64 kbit/s per voice connection and integrated speech pause recognition and comfort noise generation (silence suppression).
G.722 delivers very good voice quality. A higher sampling rate provides clearer and better voice quality than other codecs and enables a speech tone in High Definition Sound Performance (HDSP).
G.726
Standard for a Codec.
G.726 delivers good voice quality. It is inferior to the quality with codec G.711 but better than with G.729.
G.729A/B
Standard for a Codec.
The voice quality is more likely to be lower with G.729A/B. As a result of the high level of compression, the necessary bandwidth is only around 8 kbit/s per voice connection, but the delay is around 15 ms.
Gateway
Connects two different Networks, e.g., a router as an Internet gateway.
For phone calls from VoIP to the telephone network, a gateway has to be connected to the IP network and the telephone network (gateway/VoIP provider). It forwards calls from VoIP to the telephone network as required.
Gateway provider
See SIP provider.
Global IP address
See IP address.
GSM
Global System for Mobile Communication
Originally, a European standard for mobile networks. GSM can now be described as a worldwide standard. However, in the USA and Japan, national standards were previously more frequently supported.
H
Headset
Combination of microphone and headphone. A headset enables a comfortable speaker mode. Headsets that can be connected to the base via a cable (wire-bound) or via Bluetooth (wireless) are available.
HTTP proxy
Server via which the Network subscribers can process their Internet traffic.
Hub
Uses one Infrastructure network to connect several Network subscribers. All data sent to the hub by one network subscriber is forwarded to all network subscribers.
See also: Gateway, Router.
|
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
International body that defines standards in electronics and electrical engineering, concerned in particular with the standardisation of LAN technology, transmission protocols, data transfer rate and wiring.
Infrastructure network
Network with central structure: All Network subscribers communicate via a central Router.
Internet
Global WAN. A series of protocols known as TCP/IP have been defined for exchanging data.
Every Network subscriber is identifiable via their IP address. DNS assigns a Domain name to the IP address.
Important services on the Internet include the World Wide Web (WWW), e-mail, file transfer and discussion forums.
Internet service provider
Enables access to the Internet for a fee.
IP (Internet Protocol)
TCP/IP protocol on the Internet. IP is responsible for addressing subscribers in a Network using IP addresses and routes data from the sender to the recipient. IP determines the paths (routing) along which the data packets travel.
IP address
A unique address for a network component within a network based on the TCP/IP protocols (e.g., LAN, Internet). On the Internet, domain names are usually assigned instead of IP addresses. DNS assigns the corresponding IP address to the domain name.
The IP address has four parts (decimal numbers between 0 and 255) separated by full stops (e.g., 230.94.233.2).
The IP address is made up of the network number and the number of the Network subscriber (e.g., phone). Depending on the Subnet mask, the first one, two or three parts make up the network number and the rest of the IP address addresses the network component. The network number of all the components in any one network must be identical.
IP addresses can be assigned automatically with DHCP (dynamic IP addresses) or manually (fixed IP addresses).
See also: DHCP.
IP pool range
Range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can use to assign dynamic IP addresses.
L
LAN
Local Area Network
Network with a restricted physical range. A LAN can be wireless (WLAN) and/or wired.
Local IP address
The local or private IP address is the address for a network component in the local network (LAN). The network operator can assign any address they want. Devices that act as a link from a local network to the Internet (gateway or router) have a public and a private IP address.
See also IP address.
Local SIP port
See SIP port/Local SIP port.
M
MAC address
Media Access Control address
Hardware address by means of which each network device (e.g., network card, switch, phone) can be uniquely identified worldwide. It consists of six parts (hexadecimal numbers) separated by "-" (e.g., 00-90-65-44-00-3A).
The MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer and cannot be changed.
Mbps
Million bits per second
Unit of the transmission speed in a network.
MRU
Maximum Receive Unit
Defines the maximum user data volume within a data packet.
MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit
Defines the maximum length of a data packet that can be carried over the network at a time.
Music on hold
Music that is played while you are on a Consultation call or during Call swapping. The waiting participant hears music while on hold.
N
NAT
Network Address Translation
Method for converting (private) IP addresses to one or more (public) IP addresses. NAT enables the IP addresses of Network subscribers (e.g., VoIP telephones) in a LAN to be concealed behind a shared IP address for the Router on the Internet.
VoIP telephones behind a NAT router cannot be reached by VoIP servers (on account of the private IP address). To "get around" NAT, it is possible to use either ALG in the router, STUN in the VoIP telephone, or for the VoIP provider to use an Outbound proxy.
If an outbound proxy is made available, you must allow for this in the VoIP settings for your phone.
Network
Group of devices. Devices can be connected in either wired or wireless mode.
Networks can also differ in range and structure:
– Range: Local networks (LAN) or wide-area networks (WAN)
– Structure: Infrastructure network or ad-hoc network
Network subscriber
Devices and PCs that are connected to each other in a network e.g., servers, PCs and phones.
0
Outbound proxy
Alternative NAT control mechanism to STUN and ALG.
Outbound proxies are implemented by the VoIP provider in firewall/NAT environments as an alternative to SIP proxy servers. They control data traffic through the firewall.
Outbound proxy and STUN servers should not be used simultaneously.
See also: STUN and NAT.
P
Paging (handset search)
Base function for locating the registered handsets. The base establishes a connection to every registered handset. The handsets start to ring.
PIN
Personal Identification Number
Protects against unauthorised use. When the PIN is activated, a number combination has to be entered to access a protected area.
You can protect your base configuration data with a system PIN (4-digit number combination).
Port
Data is exchanged between two applications in a Network via a port.
Port forwarding
The Internet gateway (e.g., your router) forwards data packets from the Internet that are directed to a certain Port to the port concerned. This allows servers in the LAN to offer services on the Internet without you needing a public IP address.
Port number
Indicates a specific application of a Network subscriber. Depending on the setting in the LAN, the port number is permanently assigned or it is assigned with each access.
The combination of IP address/Port number uniquely identifies the recipient or sender of a data packet within a network.
Prepare dialling
See Block dialling.
Private IP address
See Public IP address.
Protocol
Describes the agreements for communicating within a Network. It contains rules for opening, administering and closing a connection, about data formats, time frames and possible error handling.
Proxy/Proxy server
Computer program that controls the exchange of data between Client and Server in computer networks. If the phone sends a query to the VoIP server, the proxy acts as a server towards the phone and as a client towards the server. A proxy is addressed via IP address/Domain name and Port.
Public IP address
The public IP address is the address for a network component on the Internet. It is assigned by the Internet service provider. Devices that act as a link from a local network to the Internet (gateway, router) have a public and a local IP address.
See also: IP address, NAT.
Q
Quality of Service (QoS)
Describes the quality of service in communication networks. Differentiations are made between various quality of service classes.
QoS influences the flow of data packets on the Internet e.g., by prioritising data packets, reserving bandwidth and optimising data packets.
In VoIP networks, QoS influences the voice quality. If the whole infrastructure (router, network server etc.) has QoS, the voice quality is better, i.e., fewer delays, less echoing, less crackling.
R
RAM
Random Access Memory
Memory in which you have reading and storage rights. Items such as melodies and logos are saved in the RAM after you have loaded them onto the phone via the Web configurator.
Registrar
The registrar manages the current IP addresses of the Network subscriber. When you register with your VoIP provider, your current IP address is saved on the registrar. This means you can also be reached when on the move.
Ringback when the call is not answered
= CCNR (Completion of calls on no reply). If a party does not reply when called, a caller can arrange an automatic ringback. As soon as the destination phone has completed a call and is free again, the caller is called back. This feature must be supported by the exchange. The ringback request is automatically cancelled after about two hours (depending on the network provider).
Ringback when the number is busy
= CCBS (Completion of calls to busy subscriber). If a caller hears the busy tone, he or she can activate the ringback function. As soon as the connection is free, the caller is called back. As soon as the caller lifts the earpiece, the connection is made automatically.
ROM
Read Only Memory
A type of memory that can only be read.
Router
Routes data packets within a network and between different networks via the quickest route. Can connect Ethernet networks and WLAN. Can be a Gateway to the Internet.
Routing
Routing is the transfer of data packets to another subscriber in your network. On their way to the recipient, the data packets are sent from one router to the next until they reach their destination.
If data packets were not forwarded in this way, a network like the Internet would not be possible. Routing connects the individual networks to this global system.
A router is a part of this system; it transfers data packets both within a local network and from one network to the next. Transfer of data from one network to another is performed on the basis of a common protocol.
RTP
Real-Time Transport Protocol
Global standard for transferring audio and video data. Often used in conjunction with UDP. In this case, RTP packets are embedded in UDP packets.
RTP port
(Local) Port that is used to send and receive voice data packets for VoIP.
S
Server
Provides a service to other Network subscribers (Clients). The term can indicate a computer/PC or an application. A server is addressed via IP address/Domain name and Port.
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
Signalling protocol independent of voice communication. Used for establishing and ending a call. It is also possible to define parameters for voice transmission.
SIP address
See URI.
SIP port/Local SIP port
(Local) Port that is used to send and receive SIP signalling data for VoIP.
SIP provider
See VoIP provider.
SIP proxy server
IP address of your VoIP provider's gateway server.
Static IP address
See Fixed IP address.
STUN
Simple Transversal of UDP over NAT
NAT control mechanism.
STUN is a data protocol for VoIP telephones. STUN replaces the private IP address in the VoIP telephone data packets with the public address of the secure private network. To control data transfer, a STUN server is also required on the Internet. STUN cannot be implemented with symmetric NATs.
See also: ALG, Firewall, NAT, Outbound proxy.
Subnet
Segment of a Network.
Subnet mask
IP addresses consist of a fixed network number and a variable subscriber number. The network number is identical for all Network subscribers. The size of the network number part is determined in the subnet mask. In the subnet mask 255.255.255.0, for example, the first three parts of the IP address are the network number and the last part is the subscriber number.
Symmetric NAT
A symmetric NAT assigns different external IP addresses and port numbers to the same internal IP addresses and port numbers – depending on the external target address.
T
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol
Transport protocol. Session-based transmission protocol: It sets up, monitors and terminates a connection between sender and recipient for transporting data.
TLS
Transport Layer Security
Protocol for encrypting data transmissions on the Internet. TLS is a superordinate
Transport protocol.
Transmission rate
Speed at which data is transmitted in the WAN or LAN. The transmission rate is measured in data units per unit of time (Mbit/s).
Transport protocol
Controls data transport between two communication partners (applications).
See also: UDP, TCP, TLS.
U
UDP
User Datagram Protocol
Transport protocol. Unlike TCP, UDP is a non session-based protocol. UDP does not establish a fixed connection. The data packets ("datagrams") are sent as a broadcast.
The recipient is solely responsible for making sure the data is received. The sender is not notified about whether it is received or not.
URI
Uniform Resource Identifier
Character string for identifying resources (e.g., e-mail recipient, http://gigaset.com, files).
On the Internet, URIs are used as a uniform identification for resources. URIs are also described as SIP addresses.
URIs can be entered in the phone as a number. By dialling a URI, you can call an Internet subscriber with VoIP equipment.
URL
Universal Resource Locator
Globally unique address of a domain on the Internet.
A URL is a subtype of the URI. URLs identify a resource by its location on the Internet.
For historical reasons the term is often used as a synonym for URI.
User ID
See Username.
Username
Name/number combination for access e.g., to your VoIP account or your private address directory on the Internet.
V
Voice codec
See Codec.
VoIP
Voice over Internet Protocol
Telephone calls are no longer placed and transmitted over the telephone network but over the Internet (or other IP networks).
VoIP provider
A VoIP, SIP or Gateway provider is an Internet service provider that provides a Gateway for Internet telephony. As the phone works with the SIP standard, your provider must support the SIP standard.
The provider routes calls from VoIP to the telephone network (analogue, ISDN and mobile) and vice versa.
W
WAN
Wide Area Network
Wide-area network that is unrestricted in terms of area (e.g., Internet).
