Notes on calling line
display (CLIP)
By default, the number of the caller
is shown in the display of your
Gigaset telephone. You do not have
to make any other settings on your
Gigaset telephone.
However, if the caller's number is
not displayed, this can be due to
the following:
u You have not ordered CLIP from
your network provider or
u Your telephone is connected via a
PABX or a router with an inte-
grated PABX (gateway) that does
not transmit all information.
Is your telephone connected via a
PABX/gateway?
You can establish this by checking
for an additional device connected
between your telephone and house
connection, e.g., a PABX, gateway
etc. In most cases, simply resetting
this device will remedy the situation:
¤ Briefly disconnect the mains plug
of your PABX. Re-insert the plug
and wait for the device to restart.
If the caller number is still not
displayed:
¤ Check the CLIP settings of your
PABX and activate this function if
necessary. In the user guide for
the device, search for the term
"CLIP" (or an alternative term such
as "calling line identification",
"phone number transmission",
"caller ID", etc.). If necessary, con-
tact the device manufacturer.
If this does not resolve the problem,
it is possible that your network pro-
vider does not provide the CLIP serv-
ice for this number.
