First steps
3. Connecting the base to a router (Internet)
Data protection notice
When the device is connected to the router, it automatically contacts the Gigaset sup-
port server to make it easier for you to configure the devices and to enable communi-
cation with the Internet services.
For this purpose, every device sends the following device-specific information once
every day:
u
Serial number/item number
u
MAC address
u
Private IP address for the Gigaset in the LAN/its port numbers
u
Device name
u
Software version
On the support server, this information is linked to the existing device-specific infor-
mation:
u
System-related/device-specific passwords
Your base has a LAN connection for you to connect the base to a router.
Connection to a router is required for Internet telephony VoIP (Voice over Internet Proto-
col). You can set up and configure up to six accounts (VoIP phone numbers) from one or
more VoIP provider(s) on the phone.
You also need a connection to the router for the following features on your phone:
u
If you want to be notified as soon as new software is available for your phone on the
Internet.
u
If you want the date and time on your phone to be updated by a time server on the
Internet.
u
If you want to use info services and/or online directories on your phone.
You can also connect a PC to the router if you want to set your phone via its Web config-
urator.
For Internet access you need a router connected to the Internet via a modem (this may be
integrated in the router).
Please note
For telephony via the Internet, you need a broadband Internet connection.
