Using the phone in different scenarios

Using your phone in a professional environment with phone system and server structure
If you use your Maxwell 10 in a corporate network with a telephone infrastructure, your phone incor porates functions and data from the phone system and servers.
In a corporate environment, the VoIP accounts and most of the settings are configured centrally by the phone system.

§§1§§ 1 Gigaset IP telephone
§§2§§ 2 Gigaset IP telephone with integrated gigabit switch (Maxwell 10). Your PC is connected directly to the phone, providing you with an additional LAN connection in your network.
§§3§§ 3 DECT Multicell System for connetion to up to 100 DECT handsets.
§§4§§4 DECT base for connection to DECT handsets.
§§5§§ 5 Ethernet switchSupports Quality of Service (QoS), Gigabit Ethernet and PoE (Power over Ethernet).
§§6§§ 6 Phone system (e.g., Gigaset T500 PRO)Forms Internet telephony, ISDN or S2M connections. Analogue devices can be connected. A net work connection is established using Ethernet.
§§7§§ 7 Gateway to the Internet for all connected devices. Routes VoIP calls from the phone system to the Internet.
§§8§§ 8 File, e-mail and workgroup servers, or NAS systems, can be wirelessly integrated into the phone system architecture. As a result:
–Invitations to conference calls can be organised via the phone system
–The phone system can be backed up to a server or the system can be started via the network
–Online directories (LDAP) can be managed centrally
Using your phone in a simplified environment without a phone system
You can also use your Maxwell 10 without a phone system.

§§1§§ 1 Gigaset IP telephone with integrated gigabit switch (Maxwell 10). Your PC is connected directly to the phone, providing you with an additional LAN connection in your network.
§§2§§2 Gateway to the Internet for the connected devices. Routes VoIP calls from the phone to the Inter net. You establish the connection to the gateway via cable or wirelessly via WI-Fi.
§§3§§ 3 The SIP provider transfers calls from the Internet and establishes a connection with the standard telephone network.
In this scenario, you must manually configure the VoIP accounts for your phone. You can create up to 12 VoIP accounts on your phone.

First steps

Your device will start automatically as soon as it is connected to the mains power supply. Please be aware that if the device is powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet) it is supplied with power as soon as it is connected to an Ethernet switch with PoE-functionality.

Setting the language

ÛOn On the Start screen tap on
to open the list of available apps.  
 Select
Settings.
ÛScroll Scroll down and select
 Language & input  
 Tap on Language  
 Select your desired language.

Registering the handset (DECT)

If you use a DECT handset you need to register it on the phone.
ÛInstall Install the handset as described in the Installation Guide and place it in the cradle in order to charge the battery.
ÛOn On the Start screen tap on
to open the list of available apps.  
 Select
Settings.
ÛSelect Select
 DECT  
 Tap on Register DECT Handset.
The registration process may take some time. If the reg istration is successful a message is output.
Establishing a connection to the local network
Your phone must be connected to the local network before it can connect to a phone system or the Internet and before you can operate it from a PC. You can connect the phone to the local network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

Connecting via Ethernet

ÛMake Make sure that the phone's LAN port
is connected to an Ethernet switch/router by an Ethernet cable.
ÛOn On the Start screen tap on
to open the list of available apps.  
 Select
Settings.
ÛSelect Select
 Ethernet  
 Drag switch by Ethernet to the right to switch on Ethernet function.
The network connection is established if the phone has automatically been assigned an IP address from a DHCP server in the network.
If your device is assigned a static IP address, your net work administrator must tell you the IP address of your device. You then assign this address to your phone manually.
Ethernet configuration
ÛTap Tap on Ethernet configuration.
If the network connection is established, the configu ration information, e.g. the IP address, is displayed.
If the network connection has not been established automatically, you can enter the configuration data manually.
Proxy configuration
When a connection to internal or external network resources is made via a proxy server, you must enter the proxy server data. Proxy settings are used by the browser but may not be used by other apps.
ÛTap Tap on Proxy Configuration.  
 Enter the data of your proxy server.

Adding another Wi-Fi

Wi-Fis that are not in range or that withhold the SSID and are therefore not displayed in the list can be entered manually. You will require the network name (SSID), the security protocol used and the network key. Once the tablet is in range of one of these Wi-Fis, the connection is established.
ÛSelect Select

Configuring Internet telephony
Before you can use the device to phone anyone you need the services of a VoIP provider.
Prerequisite:
uYou have a phone system in your network that provides VoIP accounts for your device, or
uYou have registered with a VoIP provider (e.g., via your PC) and set up a VoIP account.
The device searches the network for a provisioning file and checks whether VoIP accounts already exist. If the telephone has existing VoIP accounts, these accounts are configured automatically. You can now make calls with your phone via the Internet.
If the telephone has no existing VoIP accounts, you must configure them manually. The Web config urator will help you with this (£ p. 20).
Web configurator – configuring the phone on a PC
The Web configurator provides you with a user interface that you can use to configure your Maxwell 10 on the PC.
Prerequisites:
uYour phone is connected to the local network.
uThe Web server is enabled.
