New and extended functions of your phone
In the time since the user guide was completed, the following functions have been added to your phone (Firmware version 081):
Selecting and dialling 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. Your phone assigns a (line) suffix to each number (line): u the fixed line number has the suffix #0 u the VoIP numbers have the suffixes #1 to #6 u and the Gigaset.net number has the suffix #9. When dialling, you can use this line suffix to specify the connection via which you would like to call or be charged (e.g. for cost control). ~ Enter the number of the desired participant and the suffix of the desired connection (e.g. 1234567#1). c Press the talk key. The connection is always made via the line with the assigned suffix, regardless of whether you press the talk key c briefly or press and hold it.

Please note:

If you enter a suffix that does not have a VoIP connection, a message will be displayed. The number will not be dialled. You cannot dial IP addresses using a line suffix. Tip: Enter numbers into the directory with line suffixes.
Open the Settings Telephony Connections website.
The line suffixes are displayed in the Suffix column.
You can view configured connections and assigned line suffixes in the Web configurator:
Displaying the IP address during paging
Briefly press the paging key on the base station, all registered handsets will ring and the current IP address of the telephone will appear on the handset displays. You need the IP address if you wish to set the phone using the Web configurator.

New and extended functions of your phone Broadband telephony

Broadband telephony

Make calls with brilliant sound quality (High Definition Sound Performance HDSP) for internal calls or calls via VoIP. Your Gigaset phone's base station supports the broadband codec G.722. If you register one or more broadband-capable handsets (e.g. Gigaset S67H or SL37H) on your base station, you can make calls with brilliant sound quality (High Definition Sound Performance HDSP) for internal calls or calls via VoIP. Preconditions for broadband connections to your base station are: u For internal calls: Both handsets are broadband-capable. u For external calls via VoIP: You make the call from a broadband-capable handset. You have selected codec G.722 for outgoing calls (see below). Your VoIP provider supports broadband connections. The recipient's phone supports codec G.722 and accepts the establishment of a broadband connection.

Select codec G.722 for outgoing calls
Web configurator: open the Settings Telephony Audio website. In the Voice codecs field: copy the G.722 voice codec into the Selected codecs list. Click the Set button.
New and extended functions of your phone Defining dialling plans

Defining dialling plans

The "Dialling Plans" function of your phone's Web configurator has been extended. In addition to dialling plans for emergency numbers, you can now define dialling plans for any phone number and local or international area codes.

Cost control

You can define dialling plans to reduce costs: u You can define the connection (one of your VoIP accounts, the fixed line network) via which calls to specific numbers should be made and paid for. If you enter just a few digits (e.g. local area, national or mobile network code), any call to a number beginning with these digits will be made via the selected connection. u You can block specific numbers, i.e. your phone will not establish a connection to these numbers (e.g. 0900 numbers). These dialling plans apply to all registered handsets. The settings for the default connection (briefly press/press and hold c) and the send numbers of handsets do not apply to numbers governed by a dialling plan.
You can override dialling plans, with the exception of blocks, as follows: Dial the number with a line suffix (e.g. 123456789#3, see page 1). Gigaset S450 IP: Before you enter the number, define a different connection type by pressing the display keys FixedLine / IP. If, for example, you press FixedLine, the number will be dialled via the fixed line network, even if the dialling plan states that a VoIP connection should be used. Area Code Predialling is not prefixed to numbers governed by a dialling plan.
Tips: u Compare the rates for long-distance calls (especially for international calls) offered by your fixed line network and VoIP providers, and determine which connection should be used specifically for these countries/locations, e.g. a dialling plan for the Phone Number "0033" would apply to every call made to France. u Use dialling plans to define that numbers starting with a call-by-call number are always made via your fixed line network connection. To do so, enter the call-by-call number in the Phone Number field. u For your network mailboxes, define that you should always be called on the number for which you accept calls.

You can define dialling plans for your telephone in the Dialling Plans area. Specify the following: Phone Number Enter the number or the first digits of the phone number (e.g. an area code) to which the dialling plan should apply (max. 15 digits). Enter each phone number and the area code, even if you have activated the Area Code Predialling function. Connection Type The list shows all the VoIP connections that you have configured as well as your fixed line network connection. It also displays the name assigned to each connection. From the list, select the connection via which the number or numbers that start with the sequence of digits should be dialled. Or: Select Block if the number or numbers that start with the sequence of digits should be blocked. The display will show Not possible! if an attempt is made to dial a blocked number. Comment (optional) You can enter a description of up to 20 characters for the dialling plan here.
Open the Settings Telephony Dialling Plans website in the Web configurator.

Click Add.

The dialling plan is activated immediately. A new empty line for a new dialling plan will appear if your phone still has enough space.
If dialling plans overlap, the one with the greatest concordance will apply. Example: There is a dialling plan for the number "02" and one for the number "023". If you dial "0231." the second plan will apply; if you dial "0208." the first plan will apply.

Examples:

u You want to block your phone for all 0900 numbers.
Dialling plan: Phone Number = 0900 Connection Type = Block u All calls to the mobile phone network shall be made via your VoIP connection with provider B. Dialling plans: Phone Number = 078 Connection Type = IP3, provider B and the corresponding entries for "074" and "075". Version 2,1, 08.01.2007
Activating/deactivating dialling plans

Click the option in the Active column to activate/deactivate the corresponding dialling

Deleting dialling plans

Click the Delete button that follows the dialling plans you want to delete and confirm the
security prompt. The dialling plan is deleted from the list immediately. The space in the list is released.

Predefined dialling plans set as defaults (for emergency numbers cannot be deactivated and cannot be deleted.

Emergency numbers

Dialling plans for emergency numbers (e.g. the local emergency service number) are factory-set for certain countries. The fixed line network is determined as the Connection Type. These dialling plans cannot be deleted, deactivated or blocked. However, you can change the Connection Type. This should only be changed if the phone is not connected to the fixed line network. If you choose a VoIP connection, please make sure the VoIP provider supports emergency calls. If no dialling plans for emergency numbers are preset on your telephone, you should set dialling plans yourself. Assign them to a connection that you know supports emergency calls. Emergency calls are always supported by fixed line networks.

Warning:

Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the keypad lock is activated. Before dialling, press and hold the hash key to release the keypad lock. If you have activated an automatic area code and if no dialling plan for emergency calls is defined, the area code will also be prefixed to emergency calls made via VoIP.

synchronisation between the base station and a time server. If you select No the base station will not adopt time settings from a time server. In this case you should set the time and date manually using a handset.

Once you have activated synchronisation, the time and date will be compared with a time server as soon as an Internet connection is established. Synchronisation will usually occur once a day (at night) when synchronisation is activated. Synchronisation will also occur at every new system start of the base station (e.g. after a firmware update or a power cut). Date and time settings are transferred to every handset after synchronisation.

The default time server "europe.pool.ntp.org" will remain stored in the base station even if you overwrite it. If you delete your time server from the Time Server field and synchronisation is still activated, the base station will return to synchronisation with the default time server. However, it will no longer appear in the Time Server field. The base station will return to synchronisation with the default time server if you have entered your own time server in the Time Server field and the base station is unable to synchronise time and date for ten consecutive attempts. If you have deactivated synchronisation with a time server, and if the date and time are not set on any handset, the base station will attempt to reference date and time settings from the CLIP information of an incoming call.
