IP Configuration Web configurator Preferred DNS server Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. DNS (Domain Name System) allows you to assign public IP addresses to symbolic names. The DNS server is required to con- vert the DNS name into the IP address when connection is being established to a server. You can specify your router's IP address here.
Web configurator Configuring telephone connections Configuring telephone connections You can configure up to eight numbers on your phone: your fixed line network number, your Gigaset.net number and six VoIP numbers. You need to set up a VoIP account with a VoIP provider for each VoIP phone number. You must save the access data for each account and for the relevant VoIP provider in the phone.

Configuring telephone connections Web configurator Suffix Line suffix that you have to add to the phone number of an outgoing call to allow the account assigned to the suffix to be used as the sending account. Example: if you dial 123456765#1, the connection will be made and billed through the first VoIP account, regardless of the number you have assigned to your handset as the send number and whether you press briefly/press and hold the talk key.

Optimising voice quality for VoIP connections Web configurator Activating/deactivating the Gigaset.net connection Your phone is assigned a Gigaset.net phone number on delivery. As soon as you have con- nected your phone to the Internet, you can make calls using the Gigaset.net and receive calls from other Gigaset.net subscribers, provided that your Gigaset.net connection has been activated.
Page 129
Web configurator Optimising voice quality for VoIP connections Both sides of a phone connection (caller/sender side and receiver side) must use the same voice codec. The voice codec is negotiated between the sender and the recipient when establishing a connection. You can influence the voice quality by selecting (bearing in mind the bandwidth of your DSL connection) the voice codecs your phone is to use, and specifying the order in which the codecs are to be suggested when a VoIP connection is established.
