Ending A Call; Accepting A Call - Siemens Gigaset S685 IP User Manual

Making calls with VoIP and the fixed line network
Dialling emergency numbers –
defining dialling plans
You can use the Web configurator to block
certain numbers or to define which of
your numbers (fixed line network, VoIP)
should be used to call specific numbers
(Dialling Plans, see page 124).
If you enter a number that has a defined
dialling plan, the call will be made via the
line defined in the dialling plan – regard-
less of whether the talk key is pressed
briefly or pressed and held. Any automatic
area code will not be prefixed to the
number.
Emergency numbers
Dialling plans for emergency numbers
(e.g. the local emergency service
number) are factory-set for certain coun-
tries. Emergency calls are then always
made via the fixed line network.
You cannot delete or deactivate these dial-
ling plans. However, you can change the
connection through which each emer-
gency number should be called (e.g. if the
phone is not connected to the fixed line
network). You must make sure that the
VoIP provider for the selected connection
supports emergency calls.
If your phone does not have default dial-
ling plans for emergency calls, you should
define the rules yourself (page 124).
Assign them to a connection that you
know supports emergency calls. Emer-
gency calls are always supported by fixed
line networks.
Please note: If no rules are defined for
emergency numbers and you have pro-
grammed an automatic local area code
(page 123), the code will be prefixed to
emergency numbers as soon as they are
dialled via a VoIP connection.
Please note:
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the
keypad lock is activated. Before dialling, press
and hold the hash key
keypad lock.

If the handset is in the charging cradle and

automatically when you lift it out of the
cradle.
If the ringer tone is intrusive, press the
display key. You can accept the call

Please note:
You can reject VoIP calls by pressing the end
call key a. The caller receives an appropriate
message.
Pressing the end call key on an incoming call
