Preparing to use the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX
When you have finished configuring your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX, use it to surf the Inter-
net, send e-mails or make phone calls via the Internet etc.
As soon as you attempt to access the Internet with a PC connected to the Gigaset SX682
WiMAX (for example, by opening the Web browser and calling up an Internet site, or by
starting your e-mail program and retrieving e-mails), your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX auto-
matically establishes a connection to the Internet or uses the permanent Internet con-
nection. Whether the connection needs to be established or is permanently available
depends on your provider's default settings. Unlike conventional Internet connections,
you do not need to enter any access data in order to establish an Internet connection.

Making a phone call or faxing with the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX

You can use your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX to make calls via the Internet (VoIP) and operate
a fax machine or answer machine without installing any additional software. If you
wish, for example, to make a phone call via the Internet, you do not need to switch on
your PC.
In order to operate an analogue terminal on your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX, the following
preconditions must be satisfied:
u
You have an analogue terminal (telephone, fax machine or answer machine) con-
nected to your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX.
u
Internet telephony (VoIP) is included in your contract with your provider. This is nec-
essary as your provider needs to set up VoIP access for you. You can find out whether
VoIP access is configured in your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX either from the documenta-
tion given to you by your provider or by referring to the relevant status page on your
Gigaset SX682 WiMAX; see Chapter "Telephony" on page 47.
u
Your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX will adjust extremely flexibly to your requirements: if
you wish to make a call via VoIP, the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX will automatically pro-
vide a permanent bandwidth for the purpose. This enables good voice quality when
making a call via VoIP.
u
You need a permanent Internet connection if you wish to be permanently accessible
and make calls via VoIP.
Please note that you cannot make phone calls via the Internet in the event
of a power failure.
i
Ask your provider which emergency numbers are available via the VoIP
connection. It is also possible that service numbers cannot be reached in
the usual way.
Ask your provider about VoIP rates for VoIP 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.
