First steps

Making settings for VoIP telephony

Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to phone any other users on the Internet, the fixed network or the mobile phone net- work, you need the services of a VoIP provider who supports the VoIP SIP standard.

Precondition: you have registered (e.g. via your PC) with a suitable VoIP provider and set up at least one VoIP account.

The following phone settings are necessary in order for you to use VoIP. You will receive all information from your VoIP pro- vider.

uYour user name with the VoIP provider, if this is required by the VoIP provider

uYour registration name

uYour password with the VoIP provider u VoIP provider general settings

The connection assistant will help you with the settings.

Starting the connection assistant

Precondition: The base station is connected to the mains power supply and a router. Your router is connected to the Internet (page 11).

Tip: If VoIP is activated as the default connection for your phone (default setting page 67), the phone will attempt to make a direct connection to your VoIP provider's server after the connection assistant is closed. If incorrect/incomplete information means that the connection cannot be established, messages will be displayed (page 14).

Please note:

Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assignment of the IP address. In order for your router to 'recognise' the phone, dynamic IP address assignment must also be activated on the router, i.e. the router's DHCP server is acti- vated. Turn to page 69 to find out how to assign your phone a static IP address if neces- sary.

As soon as the handset battery is sufficiently charged, the message key f on the handset will flash (around 20 minutes after you have put the handset in the charging cradle). Press the message key f to start the connection assistant.

You will see the following display:

You can also call up the connection assistant at any time via the menu (page 68).

Downloading VoIP provider data

The phone establishes a connection with the Siemens server on the Internet. Profiles with general access data for various VoIP providers can be downloaded here.
