Making calls with VoIP and
the fixed network
Making an external call
External calls are those that are made via
the public telephone network (fixed net-
work) or the Internet (VoIP). You deter-
mine what type of connection you want to
use when you dial.
Selecting the type of connection via the
talk key and making a call
~c/d
Enter number/IP address and
briefly press/press and hold
the talk key or handsfree key.
A default connection is established on
your phone (fixed network or VoIP,
page 26).
¤ Press the talk key c or handsfree key
d briefly if you want to make the
call via the default connection.
¤ Press and hold the talk key c or
handsfree key d if you want to make
the call via the other type of connec-
tion.
Selecting the type of connection via
display keys and making a call
Precondition: §FixedLine§ and/or §IP§ are
assigned to the display keys on your hand-
set (Gigaset S45 default setting).
§FixedLine§ / §IP§
Press the display key to select
the type of connection.
~ /s Enter number or select num-
ber from the directory.
c / d Press the talk or handsfree key.
Entering an IP address
Via VoIP you can dial an IP address instead
of a phone number.
¤ Press the star key * to separate the
parts of the IP address (for
example 149*246*122*28).
¤ If necessary, press the hash key # to
attach the SIP port number of the per-
son you are calling to the IP address (for
example 149*246*122*28#5060).
Canceling the dialing operation
You can cancel the dialing operation with
the end call key a.
Ending a call
a Press the end call key.
Accepting a call
The handset indicates an incoming call by
ringing and by the flashing of the hands-
free key d. The display shows the
caller's number or name and the receive
number the caller is calling (such as for
Fixed Line, for IP1 etc.).
Notes:
– You can make two parallel external calls
on your base station (on two handsets):
one call via VoIP and one via the fixed
network.
– During an external call, the color of the dis-
play indicates whether you are connected
with the other participant via VoIP (blue) or
via the fixed network (orange).
– If you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed
network, you may also have to dial the area
code for local calls (depending on the VoIP
provider).
To avoid always having to enter the area
code for local calls, you can also enter the
area code in the configuration (with the
Web configurator, see page 26). It will then
be inserted automatically for local calls.
Note:
If you use a GAP-compatible handset other
than Gigaset S45, all calls will be made via the
standard connection, even if you press and
hold the talk key
c. If you want to use the
non-default connection to make a call, enter a
star (*) at the end of the number.
