Gigaset C460 Ip - More Than Just Making Calls; Voip - Making Calls Via The Internet - Gigaset C460 IP Manual

Gigaset C460 IP –
more than just making calls
Your phone lets you make calls both via
the fixed network and (cost effectively)
via the Internet (VoIP) without using a
PC. It is secured against Internet viruses
by its own network interface with pro-
tected operating system.
And your phone can do much more
besides:
u
By registering a second handset to your
base station, you can use one handset
to make a call via the fixed network and
the other to make a call via the Inter-
net.
u
Configure the phone connection for
VoIP without a PC. Your phone's con-
nection wizard downloads general data
about your VoIP provider from the
Internet and guides you through enter-
ing your personal data (account). This
makes it easy for you to start using VoIP
(page 10).
u
If necessary, establish any further
required VoIP settings on a PC. The
phone has a Web interface (Web con-
figurator) that can be accessed via
your PC's Web browser (page 43).
u
Assign your own password (system
PIN) to protect your device and the Web
configurator from unauthorised access
(page 38).
u
You can operate your phone behind a
router or a switch (depending on your
provider). To operate behind a switch,
you may need a firmware update from
the Internet.
u
Send and receive SMS messages via the
fixed network (page 26).
u
Save 100 phone numbers on your
handset (page 22).

u
You can programme the keys of your
phone with important phone numbers.
The phone number is then dialled by
simply pressing the respective key
(page 23).
u
Use the handsfree function to keep
your hands free when making a call
(page 17).
u
Use your handset as an alarm clock
(page 37).
Have fun using your new telephone!
VoIP – Making calls via the
Internet
With VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol),
your calls are not made via a fixed connec-
tion as in the telephone network, but
rather they are transmitted via the Inter-
net in the form of data packets.
You can take advantage of all the benefits
of VoIP with your phone:
u
You can make cost-effective calls with
high voice quality with subscribers on
the Internet, the fixed network or the
mobile phone network.
u
Your SIP provider will give you a per-
sonal number, with which you can be
reached from the Internet, the fixed
network and any mobile phone net-
work.
To be able to use VoIP, you need the fol-
lowing:
u
A broadband Internet connection (e.g.
DSL) with flat rate or volume-based
price
u
Internet access, i.e. you need a router
that will connect your phone to the
Internet. You can find a list of recom-
mended routers on the Internet at:

vider. Open an account with a VoIP pro-
vider.
