8Gigaset A580 IP – more than just making callsGigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / starting.fm / 24.04.2009Version 8, 03.09.2008Gigaset A580 IP – more than just making callsYou can use your phone to make calls via the fixed line network and also (cost effectively) via the Internet (VoIP) without a PC. – Your phone can do much more: uMake calls with brilliant sound quality using High Definition Sound Performance (HDSP) for either internal calls or calls made via VoIP (£Page 9) – for internal calls or calls via VoIP. uA simple press of a button each time you make a call indicates whether you want to call via the fixed line network or the Internet (£Page 38).uRegister up to six handsets on your base station. With your base station, you can simultaneously conduct two calls via VoIP and one call via the fixed line network. uMultiline: Create up to six VoIP accounts with different VoIP providers. Together with your fixed line number and the Gigaset.net number, your phone can then be reached via up to eight different phone numbers. uAssign each handset its own VoIP number as a send and receive number. If a member of your family is called on their VoIP number, only their handset will ring (£Page 120). uYou can also use the VoIP accounts with different providers for cost control purposes. When dialing, specify the VoIP connection/the VoIP account you want to use for its lower rates (£Page 38).uSetting dialing plans for phone numbers or area codes enables you to auto-mate the selection of the most cost-effective VoIP connection (£Page 123). uUse Gigaset.net for VoIP calls. Connect your phone to the electrical power supply and the Internet and enjoy free phone calls on Gigaset.net – without making any further settings (£Page 46).uConfigure 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 entering your personal data (VoIP/SIP account). This makes it easy for you to start using VoIP (£Page 21). uIf necessary, make any further VoIP settings on a PC. The phone features a Web interface (Web configurator) that can be accessed via your PC's Web browser (£Page 96). uMake sure your phone is always up-to-date. Keep yourself informed about firmware updates on the Internet and download them onto your phone (£Page 87). uReduce the transmission power by activating Eco mode / Eco mode+ (£Page 69).Have fun using your new phone! Your Gigaset A580 IP has a protected operating system that offers increased security against viruses from the Internet.

Prerequisite: You enter the number without a line suffix (£Page 38) and have not defined any dialing plans for this number (£Page 123).~c Enter number (without suffix) and briefly press/press and hold the Talk key. A default connection is established on your phone (fixed line network or VoIP £Page 86/Page 119). ¤Briefly press the Talk key c to make a call via this default connection. ¤Press and hold the Talk key c to make the call via the other connection type. Please noteuYou can conduct three separate external calls via your base station (using different handsets): two calls via VoIP and one via the fixed line network. uYou can define dialing plans for certain numbers or area codes by determin-ing the connection and therefore the billing method to be used (cost con-trol £Page 123) when these numbers are dialed.uDialing with the Directory (£Page 62), Shortcut keys (£Page 64) or Last Number Redial list (£Page 57) saves repeated keying of phone numbers. You can modify or add to these numbers on a call-to-call basis.uIf you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed line network, you may also have to dial your local area code for local calls (depending on the VoIP provider). You can avoid having to dial your own area code by entering it into the con-figuration ( £Page 87, Page 122) and activating the option Predial area code for local calls through VoIP (£Page 122). uDepending on the exchange, you may not have to dial your own area code when making local calls via the fixed line network.

Select Obtained automatically to use a dynamic IP address assigned by a DHCP server in your local network. No further settings are necessary for the local net-work. Select Static to set up a static local IP address for your phone. A static IP address is, for example, useful if port forwarding or a DMZ is set up on the router for the phone.The following fields are displayed when you select IP address type = Static:IP address Enter an IP address for your phone. This IP address allows your phone to be reached by other subscribers in your local network (e.g. PC). 192.168.2.2 is the default.Please note the following:uThe IP address must be from the address block for private use that is used in the router. This is generally in the range 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254 with Subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask determines that the first three parts of the IP address must be identical for all subscribers in your LAN. uThe static IP address must not belong to the address block (IP pool range) that is reserved for the DHCP server of the router. It must also not be used by another device on the router.If necessary, check the settings on the router.Subnet maskEnter the subnet mask for your device's IP address. For addresses from the address block 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254, the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is generally used. This is preconfigured when the phone is sup-plied. Default gatewayEnter the IP address for the default gateway uses to connect the local network to the Internet. This is generally the local (private) IP address for your router (e.g. 192.168.2.1). Your phone requires this information to access the Internet. 192.168.2.1 is the default.

The Login Web page is displayed again after the reboot.Allowing access from other networksThe default setting for your phone is set so that you can only access your phone's Web configurator via a PC that is in the same local network as your phone. The subnet mask of the PC must match that of the phone. You can also allow access from PCs in other networks. ¤Open the following Web page: Settings ¢IP Configuration. Area: Remote Management¤Activate the Yes option to permit access from other networks. To deactivate remote access, activate the No option Access is then limited to PCs in your own local network.Access to the Web configurator services from other networks is only possible if your router is set accordingly. The router must pass on the service requests from "outside" to Port 80 (default port) of the phone. Please also read the user guide for your router. To establish a connection, the public IP address or the DNS name of the router and, where applicable, the port number on the router must be indicated in the Web browser of the remote PC. WarningExpansion of access entitlement to other networks increases the risk of unau-thorized access. It is therefore recommended that you deactivate remote access again if you no longer require it.

Area: Personal Provider DataEnter the configuration data that is necessary for accessing your VoIP provider's SIP service. This data can be obtained from your VoIP provider.The field names in this area (Authentication Name, etc.) listed in the following are standard names and may change. If you have already downloaded the pro-vider's general details ("Select VoIP Provider" button, see above), field entries will be replaced by provider-specific names to facilitate orientation (e.g. SIP-ID instead of Authentication Name). Authentication Name Specify the registration or authentication ID agreed with your VoIP provider (maximum 32 digits). The registration ID serves as the access ID that your phone must specify when registering with the SIP proxy/registrar server. The Authentication Name is usually identical to the Username, i.e. to your Internet phone number. Authentication password Enter the password that you have agreed with your VoIP provider in the Authen-tication password field (maximum 32 characters). The phone needs the pass-word when registering with the SIP proxy/registrar server. Username Enter the caller ID for your VoIP provider account (maximum 32 characters). This ID is usually identical to the first part of your SIP address (URI, your Internet phone number). Display name (optional)Enter any name that should be shown in the other caller's display when you call them via the Internet (example: Anna Sand). All characters in the UTF8 charac-ter set (Unicode) are permitted. The name must not exceed 32 characters.If you do not enter a name, your Username or your VoIP phone number is dis-played.

Example: myprovider.com.Proxy server portEnter the number of the communication port that the SIP proxy uses to send and receive signaling data (SIP port). Port 5060 is used by most VoIP providers.Registrar serverEnter the (fully-qualified) DNS name or the IP address of the registrar server (maximum 74 characters). The registrar is needed when the phone is registered. It assigns the public IP address/port number to your SIP address (Username@Domain) used by the phone to log in. With most VoIP providers, the registrar server is identical to the SIP server. Example: reg.myprovider.com.Registrar server portEnter the communication port used in the registrar. Usually, port 5060 is used.Registration refresh timeEnter the time intervals at which the phone should repeat the registration with the VoIP server (SIP proxy) (a request will be sent to establish a session). The repeat is required so that the entry of the phone in the tables of the SIP proxy is retained and the phone can therefore be reached.

Through NAT, the IP addresses of subscribers in the LAN are concealed behind the public IP address of the router.For incoming calls If port forwarding is activated or a DMZ is set up for the phone on the router, no special settings are required for incoming calls. If this is not the case, an entry in the NAT routing table (in the router) is neces-sary in order for the phone to be reached. This entry is created when the phone is registered with the SIP service. In the interest of security, this entry is auto-matically deleted at certain intervals (session timeout). The phone must there-fore confirm its registration at certain intervals (see NAT refresh time, £Page 113), so that the entry stays in the routing table. For outgoing calls The phone needs its public address to receive caller voice data. There are two possibilities: uThe phone requests the public address from a STUN server on the Internet (Simple Transversal of UDP over NAT). STUN can only be used with asymmet-ric NATs and non-blocking firewalls. uThe phone does not direct the connection request to the SIP proxy but to an outbound proxy on the Internet that supplies the data packets along with the public address. The STUN server and outbound proxy are used alternately to work around the NAT/firewall in the router. STUN enabledSelect Yes if you want your phone to use STUN as soon as it is used on a router with asymmetric NAT.STUN serverEnter the (fully-qualified) DNS name or the IP address of the STUN server on the Internet (maximum 74 characters). If you selected Yes in the STUN enabled field, you must enter a STUN server here. STUN port Enter the number of the communication port on the STUN server. The default port is 3478. STUN refresh timeEnter the time intervals at which the phone should repeat the registration with the STUN server. The repeat is required so that the entry of the phone in the tables of the STUN server is retained. The repeat will be carried out for all acti-vated VoIP phone numbers. Ask your VoIP provider for the STUN refresh time.The default is 240 seconds. If you enter 0 seconds, the registration will not be repeated periodically.

Specify an interval in seconds that is a little shorter than the NAT session timeout. You should not need to change the preconfigured value for the NAT refresh time. Outbound proxy modeSpecify when the outbound proxy should be used.Always All signaling and voice data sent by the phone is sent to the outbound proxy. Auto Data sent by the phone is only sent to the outbound proxy when the phone is connected to a router with symmetric NAT or blocking firewall.

The voice quality for VoIP connections is mainly determined by the voice codec used for transferring the data and the available bandwidth of your DSL con-nection. In the case of the voice codec, the voice data is digitalized (coded/decoded) and compressed. A "better" codec (better voice quality) means more data needs to be transferred, i.e. perfect voice data transfer requires a DSL connection with a larger bandwidth. The following voice codecs are supported by your phone:G.722 Excellent voice quality. The broadband speech codec G.722 works at the same bit rate as G.711 (64 kbit/s per speech connection) but with a higher sampling rate. This allows higher frequencies to be played back. The speech tone is there-fore clearer and better than for the other codecs (High Definition Sound Per-formance). Gigaset S67H, S68H and SL37H are examples of HDSP-compatible handsets. Please noteIf you do not use your Gigaset.net connection for six weeks, it is automatically deactivated. You cannot be reached for calls from Gigaset.net. The connection is reactivated:uAs soon as you start a search in the Gigaset.net directory (£Page 48) or uMake a call via Gigaset.net, i.e. dial a number ending in #9 (two attempts may be necessary) or uActivate the connection via the Web configurator as described above.

The necessary bandwidth is 64 kbit/s per voice connection. G.726 Good voice quality (inferior to that with G.711 but better than with G.729). Your phone supports G726 with a transmission rate of 32 kbit/s per voice con-nection. G.729 Average voice quality. The necessary bandwidth is less than or equal to 8 kbit/s per voice connection. Both parties involved in the telephone connection (caller/sender and recipient 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 band-width of your DSL connection) the voice codecs your phone is to use, and spec-ifying the order in which the codecs are to be suggested when a VoIP connec-tion is established. Area: Settings for BandwidthThe settings in this area influence all VoIP connections (VoIP phone numbers). Allow 1 VoIP call onlyYou can usually make two VoIP calls at the same time on your phone. If, how-ever, your DSL connection has a narrow bandwidth, there may be problems if two VoIP calls are made at the same time. The data is no longer transferred properly (long voice delay, data losses, etc.). ¤Select Yes after Allow 1 VoIP call only to prevent any further parallel VoIP phone connections being established. ¤If you wish to permit two VoIP connections, select No.Voice QualityDefault settings for the codecs used are stored in your phone: one setting opti-mized for narrow and one for wide bandwidths. ¤Activate one of the options Optimized for low bandwidth / Optimized for high bandwidth if you wish to accept a default setting for all VoIP connections.

You can make the following settings for each VoIP phone number configured on your phone:Volume for VoIP CallsDepending on the VoIP provider, it is possible that the received voice/earpiece volume is too low or too high, so that adjusting the volume via the handset is not adequate. Specify whether the received volume range is too high or too low. The follow-ing options are available: Low Voice/earpiece volume is too high. Activate this option to reduce the volume by 6 dB. Normal The voice/earpiece volume does not need to be raised/lowered. High Voice/earpiece volume is too low. Activate this option to increase the vol-ume by 6 dB. Voice codecsPrerequisite: The Own Codec preference option is activated for the Voice Quality in the Settings for Bandwidth area.Select the voice codecs your phone is to use, and specify the order in which the codecs are to be suggested when a VoIP connection is established via this VoIP phone number. ¤Apply the voice codecs that your phone is to suggest for outgoing calls into the Selected codecs list. To do this, in the Available codecs list select the voice codec that you want to apply (you can mark several entries using the Shift key or the Ctrl key). Select <Add. ¤Move the voice codecs that you do not want the phone to use into the Available codecs list.Select the voice codecs in the Selected codecs list (see above) and click the Remove> button. ¤Sort the voice codecs in the Selected codecs list into the order in which they should be suggested to the receiving device when a connection is estab-lished. To do this, use the Up and Down buttons. When establishing a VoIP connection, the phone suggests the 1st voice codec in the Selected codecs list to the receiving device to begin with. If the receiving device does not accept this voice codec (e.g. because it is not supported), the 2nd voice codec on the list is suggested, and so on. If the receiving device does not accept any of the voice codecs in the Selected codecs list, the connection is not established. An appropriate message is dis-played on the handset.

Area: Settings for CodecsTo save additional bandwidth and transmission capacity, on VoIP connections that use the G.729 codec you can suppress the transmission of voice packets in pauses ("Silence Suppression"). Then, instead of the background noises in your environment, your caller hears a synthetic noise generated in the receiver.Please note: "Silence Suppression" can sometimes lead to deterioration in the voice quality. ¤In the Enable Annex B for codec G.729 field, state whether the transmission of data packets during pauses should be suppressed when using the G.729 codec, (select Yes). Saving settings on the phone ¤Select Set to save the settings for the voice quality.Voice quality and infrastructure With your Gigaset A580 IP, you have the opportunity to make calls with good voice quality via VoIP. However, your phone's performance with VoIP – and therefore the voice quality – also depends on the properties of the entire infrastructure. The following VoIP provider components are just some of the things that can impact performance:uRouteruDSLAM uDSL transmission line and speeduConnection paths over the Internet uIf applicable, other applications that also use the DSL connectionPlease noteuOnly deactivate codecs (put them in the Available codecs list) if there is a par-ticular reason. The more codecs that are deactivated increases the risk of calls not being established due to unsuccessful codec negotiations. In par-ticular you can only establish broadband connections if you permit the G.722 codec. uWith incoming calls, all supported voice codecs are always permitted. Please notePlease observe the following for good voice quality:uWhen making calls using VoIP, avoid performing other Internet activities (e.g. surfing the Internet). uPlease note that voice delays can occur depending on the codec used and the network capacity utilization.

If the entire infrastructure demonstrates QoS, voice qual-ity is higher (fewer delays, less echoing, less crackling, etc.). If, for example, the router does not have QoS, then the voice quality is not as good. Please see the specialist documentation for further information. Setting the telephone's default connectionThe default telephone connection defines which line type (VoIP or fixed line network) will be used to dial numbers when you briefly press the c Talk key.

The following messaging functions are available: uMessenger functionsThe messenger client in your base station enables instant messaging (immediate message transfer, chatting). The phone supports the XMPP mes-senger (Jabber).uE-mail functions Your phone checks at regular intervals whether new e-mail messages have arrived in your incoming e-mail server. New e-mail messages are displayed on a messaging-capable handset in the form of e-mail notifications (e-mail sender and subject). You can read approximately the first 500 to 600 char-acters of a text e-mail on the handset. Saving messenger access dataTo use your base station's messenger functions, you need to register a handset with messaging capability and save the access data for your message server in the phone.Your base station is already registered with the Gigaset.net Jabber server. An account has been assigned to your phone. You can chat to other Gigaset.net subscribers via this account. To do this, you need to log on to the Gigaset.net message server via your PC's Web browser using only this account, and then create a Buddy list ( £ "Setting up a Gigaset.net Jabber account", Page 131). You can also register with another instant messaging provider that supports XMPP Messenger (Jabber). In order for you to use your phone's messenger to "go online" and "chat" on the Internet, the access data of a message server must be saved on your phone. You can define a Resource name and a Priority for your phone. Both are required if you are logged in (online) with the message server with several devices (phone, desktop PC and laptop) at the same time using the same Jabber ID. The Resource name is used to distinguish between these devices. The phone cannot log in to the message server if it does not have a resource name. Assign a Priority as each message will only be sent to one device for each Jabber ID. The Priority determines which of the devices receives the message. ¤Open the following Web page: Settings ¢Messaging ¢Messenger. ExampleYou are online using one of your phone's handsets and your PC both at the same time. You have assigned your phone (Resource name "phone") Priority 5 and your PC (Resource name "PC") priority 10. In this case, any message addressed to your Jabber ID will be sent to your phone.

They are important, for example, for stating the correct time in the Calls list and for the "alarm clock" function. There are two methods for updating the time and date on your base station: manually with one of the registered handsets (£Page 14) or automatically by synchronization with a time server on the Internet.Activate/deactivate synchronization with a time server as follows:¤Open the following Web page: Settings ¢Miscellaneous. ¤In the Automatic adjustment of System Time with Time Server field select Yes to activate synchronization between 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 set the time and date manually using a handset. ¤The Last synchronisation with time server field shows the last time the base sta-tion compared the time and date settings with a time server. ¤In the Time Server field, enter the Internet address or name of the time server from which the base station should adopt its time and date settings (maxi-mum 74 characters). The time server "europe.pool.ntp.org" is set as default on the base station. You can overwrite the setting. ¤From the Country list, select the country in which your base station is being operated. ¤The Time Zone field shows the valid time zone for the Country. It shows the deviation between local time (not daylight saving time) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).If a country is divided into various time zones, they will all appear in the list. Select the appropriate Time Zone for the base station from the list. ¤The Automatically adjust clock to summer-time changes field is displayed if your time zone differentiates between daylight saving time and standard time. Select On to change the time automatically to daylight saving time or stand-ard time when daylight saving time begins and ends respectively. Select Off if you do not want to change to daylight saving time. Please note: If the date and time are updated by a time server that automat-ically switches between daylight saving time and standard time, you must always select Off here. ¤Select the Set button to save the settings in your phone. Once you have activated synchronization, the time and date will be compared with a time server as soon as an Internet connection is established. Synchronization will usually occur once a day (at night) if synchronization is activated. Any additional synchronization will take place only after each new system start of the base station (e.g. after a firmware update or a power cut). If you register a new handset on your base station it will assume the time and date of the base station without any additional synchronization with the time server.

You will then receive a VoIP status code that will support you during the problem analysis. Provide the code to the Service department during the problem analysis.In the following tables you will find the meaning of the most important status codes and messages. Status code Meaning 0x31 VoIP config. error: IP domain not entered.0x33 VoIP config. error: SIP user name (Authentication Name) not entered. This is shown, for example, when dialing with a line suffix, if no connection is configured for the suffix on the base station. 0x34 VoIP config. error: SIP password (Authentication password) not entered. 0x300 The called party can be reached under several phone numbers. If the VoIP pro-vider supports this, a list of the phone numbers is transmitted as well as the status code. The caller can select to which number he wants to make the con-nection. 0x301 Permanently redirected.The called party can no longer be reached under this number. The new number is transferred to the phone together with the status code, and the phone then no longer accesses the old number but dials the new address immediately. 0x302 Temporarily redirected. The phone is informed that the called party cannot be reached under the dialed number. The call is redirected for a limited period. The phone is also notified of the length of the redirection. 0x305 The query is sent to a different "proxy server", e.g. to balance incoming que-ries. The phone will make the same query once again to another proxy server. This is not a redirection of the address per se. 0x380 Other service:The query or call could not be transferred. But the phone is notified what other options there are to connect the call. 0x400 Wrong call 0x401 Not authorized 0x403 The requested service is not supported by the VoIP provider. 0x404 Wrong phone number. No connection on this number.Example: In a local call you have not dialed the area code although your VoIP provider does not support local calls. 0x405 Method not permitted. 0x406 Not acceptable.The requested service cannot be provided. 0x407 Proxy authentication required. 0x408 The party cannot be reached (e.g. account has been deleted).

The maxi-mum number is defined beforehand by the original sender of the query. 0x484 Wrong number:In most cases this response means that you have simply omitted one or more digits in the phone number. 0x485 The URI dialed is not unique and cannot be processed by the VoIP provider. 0x486 The called party is busy. 0x487 General faults:The call was canceled before a call was established. The status code confirms receipt of the interruption signal. 0x488 The server cannot process the query because the data entered in the media description is not compatible. 0x491 The server notifies that the query will be processed as soon as a previous query has been completed. 0x493 The server rejects the query because the phone cannot decrypt the message. The sender has used an encryption method that neither the server nor the receiver phone can decrypt. 0x500 The proxy or the receiving device has discovered a fault while executing the query. It is therefore impossible to execute the query. If this occurs, the caller or the phone displays the fault and repeats the query after a few seconds. The number of seconds after which the query can be repeated may be transmitted to the caller or phone by the receiving device. 0x501 The query cannot be processed by the recipient because the recipient does not have the functionality that the caller requires. If the recipient understands the query but does not process it because the sender does not have the nec-essary rights or the query is not permitted in the current context, status code 405 is transmitted instead of 501. 0x502 In this case, the receiving device that transmits this error code is a proxy or a gateway and has received an invalid response from its gateway via which this query is to be processed.Status code Meaning

If it is possible for the query to be repeated in the foreseeable future, the server informs the caller or the phone of this. 0x504 Time limit exceeded at the gateway. 0x505 The server rejects the query because the indicated version number of the SIP protocol does not at least concur with the version that is used by server or the SIP device involved in this query. 0x515 The server rejects the query because the message exceeds the maximum per-mitted size. 0x600 The called party is busy. 0x603 The called party has rejected the call. 0x604 The called URI does not exist. 0x606 The communication settings are not acceptable. 0x701 The called party has hung up. 0x703 Connection canceled because of time-out. 0x704 Connection interrupted because of a SIP error. 0x705 Wrong dialing tone 0x706 No connection established 0x751 Busy tone:No codec match between the calling and called party. 0x810 General socket layer error: User is not authorized. 0x811 General socket layer error: Wrong socket number 0x812 General socket layer error: Socket is not connected. 0x813 General socket layer error: Memory error. 0x814 General socket layer error: Socket not available – check IP settings/connection problem/VoIP setting incorrect. 0x815 General socket layer error: Illegal application on the socket interface.Status code Meaning

It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]PreambleThe licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated soft-ware packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our Gene-ral Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must pro-vide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full free-dom of use specified in this license.Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.

165Gigaset A580 IP – free softwareGigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / appendix.fm / 24.04.2009Version 8, 03.09.2008We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free soft-ware developers less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disad-vantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a gre-ater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSETERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which con-tains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be con-veniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distri-buted under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a por-tion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it con-tains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control com-pilation and installation of the library.Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

166Gigaset A580 IP – free softwareGigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / appendix.fm / 24.04.2009Version 8, 03.09.20082. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:a) The modified work must itself be a software library.b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and per-forms whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is enti-rely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work writ-ten entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, ver-sion 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium cus-tomarily used for software interchange.If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

167Gigaset A580 IP – free softwareGigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / appendix.fm / 24.04.2009Version 8, 03.09.2008However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and acces-sors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modifi-cation of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distri-buted under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mecha-nism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is nor-mally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

168Gigaset A580 IP – free softwareGigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / appendix.fm / 24.04.2009Version 8, 03.09.2008It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprie-tary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you dis-tribute.7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distri-bute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, subli-cense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, dis-tributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipi-ent automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circum-stance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest the validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded.

During a chat, brief messages are exchanged between the communicating parties in real time. Chatting in this sense is understood to be a written form of communication. Client Application that requests a service from a server.Codec Coder/decoderCodec is a procedure that digitizes and compresses analog voice before it is sent via the Internet, and decodes – i.e. translates into analog voice – digital data when voice packets are received. There are different codecs, with differing degrees of compression, for instance. Both parties involved in the telephone connection (caller/sender and recipient) must use the same codec. This is negotiated between the sender and the recip-ient when establishing a connection. The choice of codec is a compromise between voice quality, transmission speed and the necessary bandwidth. A high level of compression, for example, means that the bandwidth required for each voice connection is low. However, it also means that the time needed to compress/decompress the data is greater, which increases execution time for data in the network and thus impairs voice quality. The time required increases the delay between the sender speaking and the recipient hearing what has been said. COLP / COLRConnected Line Identification Presentation/RestrictionService characteristic of a VoIP connection for outgoing calls.COLP displays the phone number accepting the call on the calling party's dis-play unit. The number of the party accepting the call is different to the dialed number, e.g. if the call is forwarded or transferred. The called party can use COLR (Connected Line Identification Restriction) to prevent the number from appearing on the calling party's display. Consultation callYou are on a call. With a consultation call, you interrupt the conversation briefly to establish a second connection to another participant. If you terminate the connection to this participant immediately, then this was a consultation call. If you switch between the first and second participant, it is called Toggling.CW £ Call waiting

The protocol is made available in the network by a server. A DHCP server can, for example, be a router.The phone contains a DHCP client. A router that contains a DHCP server can assign the IP addresses for the phone automatically from a defined address block. The dynamic assignment means that several Network subscribers can share one IP address, although they can only use it alternately and not simulta-neously.With some routers you can specify that the IP address for the phone is never changed.Displayed nameVoIP provider feature. You can specify any name that is to be shown to the other party during a call instead of your phone number.DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)DMZ describes a part of a network that is outside the firewall.A DMZ is set up, as it were, between a network you want to protect (e.g. a LAN) and a non-secure network (e.g. the Internet). A DMZ permits unrestricted access from the Internet to only one or a few network components, while the other network components remain secure behind the firewall.DNS Domain Name SystemHierarchical system that enables assignment of IP addresses to Domain names that are easier to memorize. This assignment must be managed in each (W)LAN from a local DNS server. The local DNS server determines the IP address, if necessary by enquiring about superordinate DNS servers and other local DNS servers on the Internet. You can specify the IP address of the primary/secondary DNS server. £ DynDNS.Domain nameName of one (several) Web server(s) on the Internet (e.g. gigaset.net).

G.711 delivers a very good voice quality that corresponds to that in the ISDN fixed line. As there is little compression, the necessary bandwidth is around 64 kbit/s per voice connection, but the delay caused by coding/decoding is only 0.125 ms. "a law" describes the European standard and "µ law" describes the North Amer-ican/Japanese equivalent. G.722 Standard for a Codec. G.722 is a broadband language codec with a bandwidth of 50 Hz to 7 kHz, a net transmission rate of 64 kbit/s per language connection and integrated speech pause recognition and comfort noise generation (silence suppression). G.722 delivers very good voice quality. A higher sampling rate provides clearer and better voice quality than other codecs and enables a speech tone in High Definition Sound Performance (HDSP). G.726 Standard for a Codec. G.726 delivers a good voice quality. It is inferior to the quality with codec G.711 but better than with G.729. G.729A/B Standard for a Codec. The voice quality is more likely to be lower with G.729A/B. As a result of the high level of compression, the necessary bandwidth is only around 8 kbit/s per voice connection, but the delay is around 15 ms. Gateway Connects two different Networks, e.g. a router as an Internet gateway.

On the Internet, domain names are usually assigned instead of IP addresses. DNS assigns the corresponding IP address to the domain name.The IP address consists of four three-digit decimal numbers separated from one another by a period (e.g. 223.94.233.2). The first decimal number can be between 1 and 126 and between 128 and 223, the second and third between 0 and 255, and the fourth between 1 and 254. The IP address is made up of the network number and the number of the Net-work subscriber (e.g. phone). Depending on the Subnet mask, the front one, two or three parts make up the network number and the rest of the IP address addresses the network component. The network number of all the components in any one network must be identical.IP addresses can be assigned automatically with DHCP (dynamic IP addresses) or manually (static IP addresses). £DHCP.IP pool rangeRange of IP addresses that the DHCP server can use to assign dynamic IP addresses.LLAN Local Area NetworkNetwork with a restricted physical range.

NAT enables the IP addresses of Network subscribers (e.g. VoIP tel-ephones) in a LAN to be concealed behind a shared IP address for the Router on the Internet.VoIP telephones behind a NAT router cannot be reached by VoIP servers (on account of the private IP address). To "get around" NAT, it is possible to use (alternately) ALG in the router, STUN in the VoIP telephone, or for the VoIP pro-vider to use an Outbound proxy. If an outbound proxy is made available you must allow for this in the VoIP set-tings for your phone.Network Group of devices. Devices can be connected in either wired or wireless mode.

Port forwardingThe Internet gateway (e.g. your router) forwards data packets from the Inter-net that are directed to a certain Port to the port concerned. This allows servers in the LAN to offer services on the Internet without you needing a public IP address.Port numberIndicates a specific application of a Network subscriber. Depending on the set-ting in the LAN, the port number is permanently assigned or else it is newly assigned with each access.The combination of IP address/Port number uniquely identifies the recipient or sender of a data packet within a network.

Differentiations are made between various Quality of Service classes. QoS influences the flow of data packets on the Internet, e.g. by prioritizing data packets, reserving bandwidth and data packet optimization. In VoIP networks, QoS influences the voice quality. If the whole infrastructure (router, network server, etc.) has QoS, the voice quality is better, i.e. fewer delays, less echoing, less crackling. RRAM Random Access MemoryMemory in which you have reading and storage rights. Items such as melodies and screen pictures are saved in the RAM after you have loaded them onto the phone via the Web configurator.Registrar The registrar manages the Network subscribers' current IP addresses. When you register with your VoIP provider, your current IP address is saved on the reg-istrar. This means you can also be reached when on the move. ROM Read Only MemoryA type of memory that can only be read.Router Routes data packets within a network and between different networks via the quickest route. Can connect Ethernet networks and WLAN. Can be a Gateway to the Internet. Routing Routing is the transfer of data packets to another subscriber in your network. On their way to the recipient, the data packets are sent from one router to the next until they reach their destination.If data packets were not forwarded in this way, a network like the Internet would not be possible. Routing connects the individual networks to this global system.A router is a part of this system; it transfers data packets both within a local net-work and from one network to the next. Transfer of data from one network to another is performed on the basis of a common protocol.RTP Realtime Transport ProtocolGlobal standard for transferring audio and video data. Often used in conjunc-tion with UDP. In this case, RTP packets are embedded in UDP packets.RTP port (Local) Port that is used to send and receive voice data packets for VoIP.Ringback when the number is busy= CCBS (Completion of Calls to Busy Subscriber). If a caller hears the busy tone, he or she can activate the ringback function. As soon as the connection is free the caller is rung back. As soon as the caller lifts the receiver the connection is made automatically.

If a participant does not respond when called, a caller can arrange an automatic ringback. As soon as the desti-nation phone has completed a call and is free again, the caller is rung back. This feature must be supported by the exchange. The ringback request is automat-ically canceled after about 2 hours (depending on the VoIP provider).SServer Provides a service to other Network subscribers (Clients). The term can indi-cate a computer/PC or an application. A server is addressed via IP addresses/Domain names and Ports.
