Gigaset C450 IP –
more than just making calls
Your phone lets you make calls both via
the fixed network and (cost effectively) via
the Internet (VoIP) without using a PC.
And your phone can do much more
besides:
u Press a button each time you make a
call to indicate whether you want to
make a call via the fixed network or via
the Internet (page 17).
u Register up to six handsets on your
base station. Your base station allows
you to use one handset to make a call
via the fixed network and another to
make a call via the Internet at the same
time.
u Configure the phone connection for
VoIP without a PC. Your phone's con-
nection wizard downloads general data
about your VoIP provider from the
Internet and guides you through enter-
ing your personal data (account). This
makes it easy for you to start using VoIP
(page 10).
u If necessary, establish any further
VoIP settings on a PC. The phone has a
Web interface (Web configurator) that
can be accessed via your PC's Web
browser (page 46).
u Assign your own password (system
PIN) to protect your device and the Web
configurator from unauthorised access
(page 40).
u Send and receive SMS messages via the
fixed network (page 28).
u Save 100 phone numbers on your
handset (page 24).
u You can programme the keys of your
phone with important phone numbers.
The phone number is then dialled by
simply pressing the respective key
(page 25).
u Use the handsfree function to keep
your hands free when making a call
(page 18).
u Use your handset as an alarm clock
(page 39).
Have fun using your new telephone!
VoIP – Making calls via the
Internet
With VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol),
your calls are not made via a fixed connec-
tion as in the telephone network, but
rather they are transmitted via the Inter-
net in the form of data packets.
You can take advantage of all the benefits
of VoIP with your phone:
u You can make cost-effective calls with
high voice quality with subscribers on
the Internet, the fixed network or the
mobile phone network.
u Your SIP provider will give you a per-
sonal number, with which you can be
reached from the Internet, the fixed
network and any mobile phone net-
work.
To be able to use VoIP, you need the fol-
lowing:
u A broadband Internet connection (e.g.
DSL) with flat rate or volume-based
price
u Internet access, i.e. you need a router
that will connect your phone to the
Internet.
u Access to the services of a VoIP pro-
vider. Open an account with a VoIP pro-
vider.
