Safety precautions
Warning:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base station.
Fit only the recommended rechargeable batteries (page 36) of the same type!
This means that you must not use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as
this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Insert rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity, and use them according to this user
guide (symbols are attached to the inside or outside of the handset's battery compart-
ment, page 8).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when the handsfree
function is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and base sta-
tion are not splashproof (page 35).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, e.g. paint
shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user guide.
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal
waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local
authorities.

tial negative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a precondition for
reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.

Gigaset S450 IP – More than just a telephone
Gigaset S450 IP / KBA GBR / A31008-M1713-L121-2-7643 / starting.fm / 21.2.07
Version 4, 16.09.2005
Gigaset S450 IP –
More than just a telephone
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:
uPress 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 18).
uRegister up to six handsets to your base
station. With your base station you can
make two calls simultaneously via VoIP,
or one call over the fixed network and
one call via VoIP.
uMultiline: Set up a separate VoIP
account for each member of your fam-
ily with their own VoIP phone number
(up to six accounts with different VoIP
providers). If you include your fixed
network number, your phone can be
reached on up to seven different
phone numbers. These can be
assigned to the individual handsets. If a
member of your family is called on their
number, only their handset will ring.
uUse the Gigaset.net for VoIP calls. Con-
nect your phone to the power supply
and the Internet, and enjoy free phone
calls on the Gigaset.net – without mak-
ing any other settings (page 21).
uConfigure the phone connection for
VoIP without a PC. Your phone's con-
nection assistant downloads general
data about your VoIP provider from the
Internet and guides you through enter-
ing your personal data (VoIP/SIP
account). This makes it easy for you to
start using VoIP (page 12).
uIf necessary, make any further
VoIP settings on a PC. The phone has
aWebinterface(Web configurator)
that can be accessed via your PC's
Web browser (page 32).
uAssign your own password (system
PIN) to protect your device and the
Web configurator from unauthorised
access (page 30).
uSend and receive SMS messages via
the fixed network (page 24).
uUse instant messaging on your hand-
set. Go online and see which of your
messenger contacts (buddies) are also
online. Chat with your buddies, send
and receive text messages, or phone
them (page 27).
uUse your phone to obtain information
about new e-mail messages in your
mailbox without a PC (page 26).
uSave up to 150 numbers and names in
your handset (page 22).
uDownload your Outlook contacts from
a PC into your handset. Or back up the
handset directory on your PC.
uYou can programme the keys of your
phone with important phone numbers.
The phone number is then dialled by
simply pressing the respective key
(page 22).
uKeep your hands free while making
calls. Use the handsfree function on
your handset or use a convenient
headset (accessory, not included in
the scope of delivery).
uKeep your phone completely up to
date. Find out about firmware
updates on the Internet and download
them into your phone.
uUse your handset as an alarm clock
(page 30).
You will find further information in the detailed
user guide for your Gigaset S450 IP at
www.siemens.com/gigaset.
Have fun using your new telephone!
Your Gigaset S450 IP has a protected operating
system that offers increased security against
viruses from the Internet.

VoIP – Making calls via the Internet
Gigaset S450 IP / KBA GBR / A31008-M1713-L121-2-7643 / starting.fm / 21.2.07
Version 4, 16.09.2005
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:
uYou can make cost-effective calls with
high voice quality with subscribers on
the Internet, the fixed network or the
mobile phone network.
uYour SIP provider will give you personal
numbers 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:
uA broadband Internet connection
(e.g. DSL) with flat rate (recom-
mended) or volume-based price.
uInternet access, i.e. you need a router
that will connect your phone to the
Internet. You can find a list of recom-
mended routers on the Internet at:
http://www.siemens.com/gigaset
uAccess to the services of a VoIP pro-
vider. Open up to six accounts with
different VoIP providers.

Making settings for VoIP
telephony
Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to
phone any other users on the Internet, the
fixed network or the mobile phone net-
work, you need the services of a VoIP pro-
vider who supports the VoIP SIP standard.
Precondition: You have registered
(e.g. via your PC) with such a VoIP provider
and set up at least one VoIP account.
The following phone settings are neces-
sary in order for you to use VoIP. You will
receive all information from your VoIP pro-
vider.
uYour user name with the VoIP provider,
if this is required by the VoIP provider
uYour registration name
uYour password with the VoIP provider
uVoIP provider general settings
The connection assistant will help you
with the settings.
Starting the connection assistant
Precondition: The base station is con-
nected to the mains power supply and the
router. Your router is connected to the
Internet (page 11).
Tip: If VoIP is activated as the default
connection for your phone (default set-
ting page 31), the phone will attempt to
make a direct connection to the server
belonging to your VoIP provider after the
connection assistant is closed. If incorrect/
incomplete information means that the
connection cannot be made, messages
will be displayed (page 14).
As soon as the handset battery is suffi-
ciently charged, the message key fon
the handset will flash (around 20 minutes
after you have put the handset in the
charging cradle). Press the message key
f to start the connection assistant.
You will see the following display:
§Yes§ Press the display key to start
the connection assistant.
The settings are carried out in
several steps.
~Enter system PIN (the default
setting is "0000").
Downloading VoIP provider data

(page 33). Your VoIP provider will supply you
with this data.
Using the Web configurator, you can later
enter five further VoIP accounts (VoIP phone
numbers) set up with the same VoIP provider.
Your phone can then (together with your fixed
network number) be reached under up to
seven different phone numbers. You can
assign the phone numbers to individual hand-
sets registered with the base station
(page 32).
Please note:
Please note when making these entries that
the VoIP user data is case sensitive. When
entering text, the first letter is capitalised as
standard. Press and hold the #key if neces-
sary to switch between upper/lower case text
and numerical entry.
This step is only carried out when you are
getting started (when the connection assistant
is started up for the first time). You can also
create the entry via the Gigaset.net directory
(page 21).
Please note:
To ensure that you can always be reached via
the Internet, the router must be permanently
connected to the Internet.

No connection to the Internet/VoIP server
If one of the following messages is dis-
played instead of the internal name after
the connection assistant is closed, then a
fault has occurred:
Server not accessible!
The phone has no connection to the Inter-
net.
¤Check the cable connection between
the base station and the router (the
LED on the base station must light up)
and the connection between the router
and the Internet connection.
¤Check whether the phone is connected
to the LAN. It might not have been pos-
sible to assign an IP address to the
phone or the IP address has already
been assigned to another LAN sub-
scriber and cannot be changed.
¤Find the IP address using the hand-
set menu:
v¢ÐSettings ¢Base
¢Local Network
¤Start the Web configurator with the
IP address.
¤If no connection can be established,
change the settings on the router
(activate DHCP server) or the
phone's IP address.
Provider registration failed!
uYour personal data for registering with
the VoIP provider may have been
entered incompletely or incorrectly.
¤Check your entries for Username,
Authent. Name and Authent. Password.
Particularly check your use of upper
and lower case.
To do this, open the following menu
on your handset:
v¢ÐSettings ¢Telephony
¢VoIP ¢Provider Registr.
uThe server address for the VoIP server
has not yet been entered, or has been
entered incorrectly.
¤Start the Web configurator.
¤Open Settings ¢Telephony
¢Connections Web page.
¤Edit the server address where neces-
sary.
Please note:
If port forwarding is activated on your router
for the ports that have been registered as the
SIP port (Standard 5600) and the RTP port
(Standard 5004), then it makes sense to switch
off DHCP and assign the phone a static IP
address (otherwise you may not be able to
hear the other party during VoIP calls):
– Via the handset menu:
v¢ÐSettings ¢Base
¢Local Network
Or
– Via the Web configurator:
¥Open Settings ¢IP Configuration
Web page.
¥Select IP address type.
Please note that the IP address and subnet
mask depend on the router's address block.
You must also specify the default gateway and
DNS server. The IP address for the router is
generally entered here.

Making calls with VoIP and the fixed network
Gigaset S450 IP / KBA GBR / A31008-M1713-L121-2-7643 / telephony.fm / 21.2.07
Version 4, 16.09.2005
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 32).
¤Press the talk key cor handsfree key
dbriefly if you want to make the
call via the default connection.
¤Press and hold the talk key cor
handsfree key dif 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.
~/sEnter number or select
number from the directory.
c/ dPress 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
(e.g. 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
(e.g. 149*246*122*28#5060).
Cancelling the dialling operation
You can cancel the dialling operation with
the end call key a.
Ending a call
aPress the end call key.
Please note:
– You can make two parallel external calls
on your base station (on two handsets):
two calls via VoIP or one call each via VoIP
and the fixed network.
– 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 32). It will then
be inserted automatically for local calls.
Please note:
If you use a different GAP-compatible handset
to the 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.
Please note:
If you have assigned several VoIP phone num-
bers to your phone, for each handset you can
set which VoIP number (account) is to be used
for calls (handset send number, page 32).

Version 4, 16.09.2005
Accepting a call
The handset indicates an incoming call by
ringing and by the flashing handsfree
key d. The display shows the caller's
number or name and the receive number
the caller is calling (e.g. for Fixed Line, for
IP1 etc.).
You can accept the call by:
¤Pressing the talk key c.
¤Pressing the display key §Accept§.
¤Pressing the handsfree key d.
If the handset is in the charging cradle and
the Auto Answer function is activated
(page 17), the handset will take a call
automatically when you lift it out of the
cradle.
Switching between earpiece and
handsfree mode
¤Press handsfree key dto activate/
deactivate handsfree mode during a
call.
If you wish to place the handset in the
charging cradle during a call in handsfree
mode:
¤Press and hold the handsfree key d
while placing the handset in the charg-
ing cradle. If the handsfree key d
does not light up, press the key again.
Setting and dialling emergency
numbers
You can store up to five emergency num-
bers in your telephone. The default setting
for the phone is that these emergency
numbers are always dialled via the fixed
network (fixed line) – irrespective of
which connection type you select.
The fixed network always supports gen-
eral emergency numbers
(e.g.establishing a connection to the local
police emergency number).
You can deactivate the setting for the
emergency numbers to always be dialled
via the fixed network (Dialing Plans,
page 33). However, you should ask
beforehand, whether your VoIP provider
supports emergency numbers (e.g.the
local police emergency number).
You can enter or change emergency num-
bers on the Dialing Plans Web page in the
Web configurator.
¤Open the following Web page:
Settings ¢Telephony ¢Dialing Plans.
¤Enter your emergency numbers in the
fields in the Emergency Numbers area.
Change previously entered emergency
numbers.
¤Click on Set to save the settings.
Please note:
The handset will only indicate calls to receive
numbers assigned to the handset (page 32).
If no specific receive numbers are assigned, all
calls are signalled on all handsets.
Please note:
– You can use the Web configurator to display
whether and which emergency numbers
are saved on your phone.
– If you have used the Web configurator to
deactivate the Emergency calls always via
fixed line function and have entered an
automatic local area code for VoIP calls
(Settings £Telephony £Dialing Plans), the
local area code will also be prefixed to the
emergency numbers when they are dialled
using VoIP.
