Protecting The Telephone From Unauthorised Access; Entering Your Own Local Area Code; Changing The System Pin - Gigaset A510IP Manual

Setting the base

Protecting the telephone from unauthorised access

Protect the phone system settings with a system PIN known only to you. If a system
PIN is not equal to 0000, you have to enter it if you register or de-register a handset,
change local network settings, perform a firmware update or reset the phone to
default settings.
Please note
If the PIN for your phone is 0000 (default setting), you are only requested to
enter the PIN when you reset the base and when you register handsets.

Changing the system PIN

You can change the phone's 4-digit system PIN (default setting: 0000) to a 4-digit
PIN known only by you.

Entering your own local area code

Please note the following for local calls (calls using the local fixed line):
u
For local calls using your fixed line, you generally (depending on the exchange)
do not have to dial an area code. All the calls in the call list are saved with area
codes, for example. In order to be able to call a caller from the call list back, you
have to save the local area code in the phone for the area your phone is in (Local
Area Code). If your phone is in a "multiple area code" area, you also have to enter
the other area codes for this area as Extra Codes.
u
You have to dial the area code for local calls using your VoIP connection. If you
have saved your local area code in the phone and activated the Predial area
code for local calls via VoIP option using the Web configurator
when numbers are dialled without a local area code, the local area code that has
been entered is included automatically (e.g., when dialling from the directory).
