Saving messenger access data

The messenger client in your base station enables instant messaging (immediate message transfer, chatting). The phone supports the XMPP messenger (Jabber).

In order for you to use your phone's messenger to "go online" and "chat" on the Internet, the access data of a messenger server must be saved on your phone.

Your phone is already registered with the Gigaset.net Jabber server. An account has already been assigned to the phone. You can chat to other Gigaset.net subscribers via this account. You must also create a buddy list on your PC (see "Setting up a Gigaset.net Jabber-Account"on page 91).

You can also register with another instant messaging provider that supports XMPP Messenger (Jabber). You must then save the messenger server address and your access data on your phone.

You can define a Resource name and a Priority for your phone. Both are required if you are logged in (online) with the messenger server with several devices (phone, desktop PC and notebook) at the same time using the same Jabber ID.

The Resource name is used to distinguish between these devices. The phone cannot log in with the messenger server if it does not have a resource name.

You should assign a Priority, as each message will only be sent to one device for each Jabber ID. The Priority determines which of the devices receives the mes- sage.

Example: You are online using one of your phone's handsets and your PC both at the same time. You have assigned your phone (Resource-name "phone") the Priority 5 and your PC (resource name "PC") the priority

10.In this case, any message addressed to your Jabber ID will be sent to your phone.
