Making calls with VoIP and the fixed line network
Gigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / telephony.fm / 24.04.2009
Version 8, 03.09.2008
If you have assigned a number of VoIP numbers to your phone, you can define
which VoIP number (VoIP account) is used for external calls from each specific
handset (handset send number,
£
Page 120).
Use the Display key to select the type of connection and make the call
Prerequisite:
§Phone§ or §IP§ is assigned to your handset's left Display key
(£
Page 79).
§Phone§ / §IP§ Press the Display key to define the connection type.
~ / s Enter number or select from the directory.
c / d Press the Talk or Handsfree key.
The number is dialed via the selected line type.
Exception:
If you have activated the option "
Automatic Fallback to Fixed Line" (Web configu-
rator,
£
Page 119) and the attempt to establish a connection via VoIP fails, an
attempt is made automatically to establish the connection via the fixed line
network.
Selecting and dialing a connection via your line suffix
You can configure up to six VoIP numbers on your phone in addition to the fixed
line network number and the Gigaset.net number. A (line) suffix is assigned to
each number (line) of your phone:
u The fixed line network number has the suffix #0
u VoIP numbers have the suffixes #1 to #6 (£
Page 107)
u And the Gigaset.net number has the suffix #9
When dialing, you can use this line suffix to specify the connection via which
you would like to call or be charged.
Please note
u If you are using a GAP compatible handset other than the Gigaset handsets
A58H, S67H, S68H, SL37H, S45 and C45, every call will be made via the
standard connection, even if you press and hold the Talk key.
u If you have activated the option
Automatic Fallback to Fixed Line with the Web
configurator (£
Page 119):
If the attempt to establish a connection fails, an attempt is made automat-
ically to establish the connection via the fixed line network.
Please note
If you have pressed the Display key
§IP§ before dialing and ...
u Dialed the number with suffix #1 to #6, your call will be made via the VoIP
account assigned to the suffix. The number will not be dialed if the suffix is
invalid (e.g. no VoIP connection assigned).
u Dialed the number without a suffix or with the suffix #0, your call will be
made via the handset's VoIP send number.
Do not enter a suffix if you have pressed the Display key
§Phone§ prior to dialing.
Otherwise the suffix will be dialed together with the number via the fixed line
network. This may cause errors!
