Establishing a connection, going online

When you go online, your buddy list will be displayed on the handset and you will receive

messages from your buddies.
Only one of the handsets connected to the base station can connect to the messenger

server. You can then only "chat" on this handset.
An external call will interrupt the "chat", but you will still be online. You can continue your

chat after you end or reject the call.
Precondition: You have saved the messenger server address and your access data for the

messenger server (user ID and password) in the phone using the Web configurator

(page 152).

Press the display key to confirm the prompt.

The phone attempts to establish a connection. You are informed about the status of the

connection by messages on the display.
If the connection can be established, you are

Online

. The display will show the submenu for

your messenger. You can open your buddy list, send and receive messages and call your

buddies.
The following is displayed when the handset is in idle status:

You remain online until you set your status to

Offline

(page 88) or the connection to the

messenger server is terminated (page 95).
You also remain online if you press the end call key

a.

If the connection cannot be established, you will receive an appropriate message. Please

try again later (page 95).

Please note:

If your instant messaging provider doesn't support the phone's messenger client, then you can open

an account with an open Jabber server and use the Web configurator to enter its address in your

phone. Many of these Jabber servers offer gateways to other messenger servers (e.g. AOL, ICQ, MSN,

Yahoo!).
You can find a list of Jabber servers and an overview of the gateways to other messenger servers on

the Internet at
http://www.jabber.org.
You can find information on setting up a Jabber account with connections from ICQ, MSN or Yahoo

on the Internet, e.g. at: http://web.swissjabber.ch
