Internet telephony
If you have purchased the Gigaset M34 software with the Skype and SIPPS components,
you can prepare your PC for telephony over the Internet.
u
On your PC, install the software you wish to use to make your Internet telephone
calls in future. The options are:
– Skype
– SIPPS
You will find the software on the CD-ROM supplied on the Internet at
http://www.sippstar.com/eng/siemens or http://www.skype.com.
u
In addition, with the Gigaset M34 software you can install the Skype or SIPPS com-
ponent which allows you to make your Internet calls using your handset.
Internet telephony: Voice over IP (VoIP)
With the Skype or SIPPS software, instead of just making telephone calls using the tele-
phone network, you can now use your PC to make calls over the Internet as well (Voice
over IP – VoIP).
In addition to the Internet connection, such calls usually require at least two PCs
equipped with soundcards, speakers and microphones. The parties normally sit at their
PC during the call.
With the Gigaset M34 USB, you can eliminate this physical link by simply registering
your cordless telephone as a terminal for Internet telephony. To do this, you just open
the configuration dialog for the Skype or SIPPS component in the Gigaset M34 software
and select the desired handset.
Refer to the information in the following chapters:
u
"Skype configuration" on page 48
u
"Configuring SIPPS" on page 55
!
Please note that the software for Internet telephony (Skype or SIPPS)
must be installed and launched on the PC. You will find more information
in the operating instructions for the Skype or SIPPS software.
