Making Calls Via Voip; Receiving Voip Phone Calls - Siemens Gigaset SX682 WiMAX User Manual

Making a phone call or faxing with the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX
Please note that you cannot make phone calls via the Internet in the event
of a power failure.
Ask your provider which emergency numbers are available via the VoIP
i
connection. It is also possible that service numbers cannot be reached in
the usual way.
Ask your provider about VoIP rates for VoIP connections, fixed line net-
work connections and mobile phone connections.
The VoIP features may vary considerably, depending on your provider's VoIP configura-
tion. You should therefore read the documentation given to you by your provider and,
where applicable, visit your provider's Internet site for further options.

Making calls via VoIP

Make telephone calls in the same way as on a conventional telephone: dial as usual or
use the directory to dial. The Phone LED flashes green.
If the dialled number is a fixed line connection, your call will first be transmitted via the
Internet to the relevant regional exchange. Only on the last stretch will your call be
directed via a fixed line to the person you are calling.

Receiving VoIP phone calls

Your PC does not need to be switched on for you to receive calls. It is only necessary for
the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX to be ready for operation (Phone LED lights up green).
For you to receive calls via VoIP, let potential callers know your VoIP phone number. You
will find your VoIP phone number in the documentation provided by your provider.
As soon as a call is received on your VoIP phone, the Phone LED starts to flash green.
When you lift the receiver or press the connection button, your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX
will provide the highest possible bandwidth for voice transmission. If you are surfing the
Internet at the same time, it is possible that the data will be transmitted a little more
slowly, similar to when downloading several large data packets. The call is made in the
same way as via a conventional phone line. When you have ended the call, the Phone
LED lights up a constant green again and your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX makes the entire
bandwidth available for data transfer.
