Using a handset connected to an N870 IP PRO base

The functions of your N870 IP PRO are available on the registered handsets. The functions of the
telephone system are added to the handset menu. Handset-specific functions, e.g., local direc-
tory or organiser, are not described here. Information about this will be found in the relevant
handset user guide. The availability of functions or their designations may differ on individual
handsets.

the N870 IP PRO muliticell system please refer to wiki.gigasetpro.com.

Making calls

You can make calls using any handset registered to your N870 IP PRO.
Prerequisite: You are located in the cell of at least one of the base stations registered to the tele-
phone system.
The cells of the base stations together form the DECT wireless network of the telephone system.
You can initiate or answer calls on a handset across the whole wireless network and change cells
during a call (handover).
Prerequisite for handover: The base stations involved must be assigned to the same cluster and
must be synchronised (
Each handset is assigned a send and receive connection (
If your N870 IP PRO is connected to a PBX that permits the formation of groups, VoIP connections
can also be assigned to groups. In this case, you will also receive calls on your handset that have
been sent to your group number.
The N870 IP PRO uses a VoIP PBX Communication System or the services of a VoIP provider for
Internet telephony. The availability of some phone functions depends on whether they are
supported by the PBX/provider and whether they have been enabled. If necessary, you can
obtain a description of the services from the operator of your PBX.
Depending on the specifications of your PBX, you may need to dial an access code for
calls outside the area covered by your VoIP PBX (
