Gigaset C450 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 protected operating system.
And your phone can do much more besides:
uBy 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 Internet.
uConfigure 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 8).
uIf 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 19).
uAssign your own password (system PIN) to protect your device and the Web configurator from unauthorised access (page 19).
uYou 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.
uSend and receive SMS messages via the fixed network (page 17).
uSave 100 phone numbers on your handset (page 15).
uYou can programme the keys of your phone with important phone numbers. The phone number is then dialled by simply pressing the respective key (page 15).
uUse the handsfree function to keep your hands free when making a call (page 13).
uUse your handset as an alarm clock (page 18).
Have fun using your new telephone!
