Establishing A Connection, Going Online - Siemens Gigaset C470 IP User Manual

Please note:
If your instant messaging provider doesn't support the phone's messenger client, then you can open
an account with an open Jabber server and use the Web configurator to enter its address in your
phone. Many of these Jabber servers offer gateways to other messenger servers (e.g. AOL, ICQ, MSN,
Yahoo!).
You can find a list of Jabber servers and an overview of the gateways to other messenger servers on
the Internet at
http://www.jabber.org.
You can find information on setting up a Jabber account with connections from ICQ, MSN or Yahoo
on the Internet, e.g. at: http://web.swissjabber.ch

Establishing a connection, going online

When you go online, your buddy list will be displayed on the handset and you will receive
messages from your buddies.
Only one of the handsets connected to the base station can connect to the messenger
server. You can then only "chat" on this handset.
An external call will interrupt the "chat", but you will still be online. You can continue your
chat after you end or reject the call.
Precondition: You have saved the messenger server address and your access data for the
messenger server (user ID and password) in the phone using the Web configurator
(page 152).
