Messaging
Your Gigaset A580 IP base station has messaging functions that can be used via
a messaging capable handset, e.g. a Gigaset S67H, S68H, SL37H or C47H hand-
set, which you can register to your base station.
The following messaging functions are available:
u
Messenger functions
The messenger client in your base station enables
instant messaging
(immediate message transfer, chatting). The phone supports the XMPP mes-
senger (Jabber).
u
E-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 data
To 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
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.

Example
You 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.
