Data protection notice
When the device is connected to the router, it automatically contacts the Gigaset support
server to make it easier for you to configure the devices and to enable communication with
the Internet services.
For this purpose, every device sends the following device-specific information once a 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 information:
u
Gigaset.net phone number
u
System-related/device-specific passwords
Further information about the Gigaset.net service data saved can be found at:
www.gigaset.net/privacy-policy
When you connect the base to a router, your telephone can establish an Internet connection. An
Internet connection is required for the following functions:
u
Internet telephony VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
u
Notification as soon as new software is available for your phone on the Internet
u
Configuring date and time with a time server on the Internet
u
Info services and online directories.
For Internet access, you need a router connected to the Internet via a modem (this may be
integrated in the router).
You can also connect a PC to the router if you want to set your phone via its Web configurator.
Note
For telephony via the Internet, you need a broadband Internet connection (e.g. DSL) with flat
rate (recommended) or volume rate and a router that connects your phone to the Internet.
You can find a list of recommended routers on the Internet at:
