Configuring Advanced Settings
Setting up Internet telephony (VoIP)
The Giga762SX WLAN dsl allows you to make telephone calls via the Internet using an
analogue telephone and also via the fixed network as usual. For Internet telephony
(
VoIP
), you require access authorisation from your service provider and the relevant
access data. To make calls, you have to enter this data along with other configuration
settings under Advanced Settings in the
Telephony
-
VoIP
menu.
You can connect a base station for handsets or fax machines to the two telephone ports
of the Giga762SX WLAN dsl analogue phone. In addition, you can set up additional
extensions for Internet and fixed network calls using
SIP clients
(as WLAN handsets or in
wired or wireless mode on PCs).
The menu comprises the following functions:
Important information:
u
You cannot make calls if there is a power failure,
even the emergency numbers are
not accessible then
.
u
If VoIP is not set up, you will always make calls via the fixed network. The dialling
plans will not apply in this case (page 106).
u
Check these dialling plans (page 106) and change them if you have agreed special
phone tariffs with another provider.
u
Do not change the default setting for the Internet connection mode (= "permanent
connection") if you are using VoIP (page 44). You can only be called via VoIP if this
setting is used. Remember, though, that this setting can result in high connection
costs if you have agreed a time-based tariff with your Internet service provider.
Note:
u
WDS can only be used with WEP encryption or without encryption. You may have to
change the encryption of your wireless network, if applicable.
u
The encryption settings on the repeater have to correspond to the settings on your
Giga762SX WLAN dsl.
u
The Giga762SX WLAN dsl and the repeaters must use the same channel.
Further information can be found in the user manual for the repeater.
