Making settings for VoIP telephony

Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to phone any other numbers on the
Internet, the fixed line network or the cellular phone network, you need the
services of a VoIP provider who supports the VoIP SIP standard.
Prerequisite: You have registered with such a VoIP provider (e.g. via your PC)
and set up at least one VoIP account.
To use VoIP, you need to enter the access data for your VoIP account. You will
receive all the necessary data from your VoIP provider. This will include:
u
Your user name (if requested by the VoIP provider) is the user identification
(Caller ID) for your account, which is often identical to your phone number
u
Your authentication name or login ID
u
The (login) password registered with the VoIP provider
u
General settings for your VoIP provider (server addresses, etc.)
Your phone connection wizard can help you make these entries.

If the DHCP server cannot or should not be activated, you must first assign a
fixed IP address to the phone. For further information, see
