The SIPPS software is developed by Nero AG, a partner company of Siemens Home and 
Office Communication Devices GmbH & Co. KG. The SIPPS software is designed to be 
freeware, i.e. it is available free of charge and can be legally passed on to other users.
You will find a special version of the SIPPS software on your Gigaset M34 software 
CD-ROM. By using this version, you will ensure that the SIPPS software is recognized by 
your handset and you can operate the software from the handset.

Advantages

u

Other than the charges for Internet access or operation of the network, no other 
costs are incurred - regardless of the call duration, the number of parties and the 
distance between the parties. 

u

SIPPS allows extremely high voice quality. The connection quality is primarily limited 
by the capabilities of the connected PCs (hardware configuration).

u

Telephone calls can be transferred in encrypted form and firewalls can be used as 
normal with no restrictions.

More detailed information about SIPPS can be found on the following Internet sites:

Further, more detailed information can be found in the operating instructions for SIPPS. 
You will find the operating instructions in PDF format in the

 directory on the CD you were given when you bought the 

M34 USB adapter.
