Opening Web pages A brief outline of how to navigate to the individual Web configurator functions is given below. Example Defining dialling plans: ¢ ¢ Settings Telephony Dialling Plans To open the Web page, proceed as follows after registration: ¤ Select the Settings menu in the menu bar.
IP Configuration – Connecting to the LAN Assigning the IP address Select the necessary settings for operating your phone in your local network and for connecting it to the Internet, if necessary. For more detailed explanations of the individual components/terms, see the glossary in the user guide for the phone. ¤...
Preferred DNS server Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. DNS (Domain Name System) allows you to assign public IP addresses to symbolic names. The DNS server is required to convert the DNS name into the IP address when a connection is being established to a server.
Entering an HTTP proxy server (only when connected to an internal company network) 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 program within the network.
Telephony – Connections: Change name, recall of fixed line network connection Your phone comes preset with a recall for general operation of the phone on the main connection. The recall specifies the duration of the line interruption used to send control signals to the exchange or the telecommunications system (transfer (ECT), setting up a consultation call, etc.).
Telephony – Connections: Information about GSM connections You can make calls on your base and/or a registered handset via the GSM connec- tion of your Bluetooth GSM mobile phone (call external parties via the GSM connec- tion of the mobile phone or receive calls to the GSM connection). To do this, you can register up to five mobile telephones (i.e., save in the Known Devices list), which you can connect in alternation with your base.
Status Registered The mobile telephone is registered on the base, i.e., it is displayed in the Known Devices list. However, the mobile phone is not yet activated. The Connect Mobile option is not set for this mobile phone. No calls can be made from the base via the corresponding GSM connection.
Assigning receive/send connections to bases and handsets, changing internal names ¤ ¢ ¢ Open the Settings Telephony Number Assignment Web page. The following is displayed for the Desktop Phone and every handset (example): The default name (INT 1 to INT 7), any name you have set, and a list of available con- nections are displayed for each handset and the base.
Please note If all mobile phones are deleted from the list of known devices (de-regis- tered), the fixed line network connection is automatically assigned as the send connection for any device to which the GSM connection was assigned as the send connection. If a connection is not assigned to a device as a receive connection, calls to this phone number are signalled neither on the base nor any handset.
Telephony – Dialling Plans: Entering your own area code/access code On the base, save the complete code (with international code) for the area in which you are using the phone. If your base is connected to a PABX, you may have to enter an access code for exter- nal calls (external prefixes e.g., "0").
Telephony – Network Mailboxes: Entering the network mailbox Many fixed line network providers offer answering machines on the network – these are known as network mailboxes. By saving the network mailbox number on the base, you can assign it to key 1 for fast access or call it directly by opening the message list.
E-Mail: Making e-mail settings You can use your phone to be notified about new e-mail messages on your incom- ing e-mail server and to display the incoming e-mail list and the text of the mes- sages on the handset. You must store the address or DNS name of your incoming e-mail server and your personal access data in the phone and activate the e-mail check with the incoming e-mail server, so that the phone can establish a connection to the incoming e-mail server and connect to your mailbox.
Select the Set button to save the settings in your phone. If text information is available and Info Services is set as the screensaver, the infor- mation appears in the idle display of the base and all registered Gigaset SL78H, SL400H or S79H handsets.
Services – Online Directory: Selecting an online directory You can use online phone directories (public directory, classified directory and/or your private net directory) on the base and registered handsets. You can use your telephone's Web configurator to define which online directory you wish to use. You can also elect to display the name under which the caller making an incoming call is saved in the online directory (Display of caller’s name) –...
Microsoft Outlook™ only ever transfers the first (directory) entry from the vcf file to its directory. You can use the Gigaset QuickSync program (included with the phone) to compare the directory on the base with the Outlook directory. You will find it on the enclosed CD.
Loading the directory file from the PC to the base/handset ¤ In the "Transfer directory from PC to handset." area, enter the vcf file you want to load onto the device (complete path name), or click Browse... and navigate your way to the file. ¤...

Name 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"...
Management – Date & Time: Copying the date/time from the time server The date and time are shown in the idle display of the base and registered hand- sets. They are important, for example, for stating the correct time in the answering machine list, call lists and for the "anniversary", "appointments"...

Synchronisation will usually occur once a day (at night) if synchronisation is acti- vated. Any additional synchronisation will take place only after each system start of the base (e.g., after a firmware update or a power cut). If you register a new handset on your base, it will assume the time and date of the base without any additional synchronisation with the time server.
Management – Miscellaneous: Reducing radiation – activating/deactivating Eco Mode The radiation from the registered handsets reduces automatically depending on their distance to the base. The closer the handsets are to the base, the lower the radiation. You have the following options: Eco Mode - Further reducing radiation You can further reduce the radiation from the handsets and base by using Eco Mode.
In the Save device settings to PC area: ¤ Click the Save button next to Save settings. The base will create a file Gigaset-yyyy-mm-dd.cfg (default name; yyyy = year 4-digit format, mm = month 2-digit, dd = day 2-digit) with the configuration data.
Management – Firmware Update: Updating the base's firmware If necessary, you can load updates of the base firmware onto your base. The server on which new firmware versions are generally available to download to your base is set by default. The URL of the Internet server is displayed in the Data server field.
When the version check is activated, the phone checks on a daily basis whether the Gigaset configuration server has a new version of the phone firmware. If a new version is available, a notification is sent to the base and the corresponding message flashes.
Querying the phone status General information about your phone is displayed. ¤ In the menu list, select the Status tab. The following information is displayed: IP Configuration area IP address The phone's current IP address within the local network. For details on assigning ¢...
GSM Connections area The mobile telephones registered via the Bluetooth interface of the base are listed: Name The Bluetooth name under which the mobile phone is entered in the list of "known devices" on the base. Status Registered The mobile phone is registered to the base, i.e. it appears in the Known Devices list.
