Connecting devices to the local network and to the Internet
The base stations and DECT Manager have a LAN connection, which you use to connect
the device to your local network via a switch/hub or directly with a router. A VoIP PABX is
required for Internet telephony. This must be accessible via the local network and must
have network access (to the Internet and/or the analogue or ISDN telephone network).
Otherwise it will only be possible to make calls within the LAN.
You also need a PC connected to the local network, so that you can configure your
telephone system via the Web configurator.
Data protection notice
When the device is connected to the Internet, it automatically contacts the Gigaset
support server to make it easier for you to configure the devices and to enable
communication with Internet services.
For this purpose, the DECT Manager sends the following information when the system
is started and then every five hours:
u
Serial number/item number
u
MAC address
u
IP address for the Gigaset on the LAN/its port numbers
u
Device name
u
Software version
The following data is transmitted once every day.
u
Number of registered handsets
u
Information for each handset: DECT identifier (IPUI), device type, user name and
display name
On the support server, this information is linked to the existing device-specific
information:
u
System-related/device-specific passwords
Caution
Each base station contains two DECT modules with their own MAC address, which are
connected to a LAN port via an integral Ethernet switch.
To prevent security warnings, you will need to allow MAC address cascading on your
corporate network.
