Preparing to use Gigaset SX682 WiMAX
Preparing to use Gigaset SX682 WiMAX
When you have finished configuring your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX, use it to surf the
Internet, send e-mails etc.
Generally speaking, you do not need to worry about your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX any
more: your provider carries out all the maintenance work, such as installing new device
software, adjusting network settings etc. All you need to do is ensure that the alignment
of the device or antenna does not change.
As soon as you attempt to access the Internet with a PC connected to the Gigaset SX682
WiMAX (for example, by opening the Web browser and calling up an Internet site, or by
starting your e-mail program and retrieving e-mails), your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX auto-
matically establishes a connection to the Internet or uses the permanent Internet con-
nection. Whether the connection needs to be established or is permanently available
depends on your provider's default settings. Unlike conventional Internet connections,
you do not need to enter any access data in order to establish an Internet connection.
Making a phone call or faxing with the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX
You can use your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX to make calls via the Internet (VoIP) and oper-
ate a fax machine or answer machine without installing any additional software. If you
wish, for example, to make a phone call via the Internet, you do not need to switch on
your PC.
In order to operate an analogue terminal on your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX, the following
preconditions must be satisfied:
u
You have an analogue terminal (telephone, fax machine or answer machine) con-
nected to your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX.
u
Internet telephony (VoIP) is included in your contract with your provider. This is nec-
essary as your provider needs to set up VoIP access for you and transfer this data to
your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX. Your provider can establish this access by means of
remote management. You can find out whether VoIP access is configured in your
Gigaset SX682 WiMAX either from the documentation given to you by your provider
or by referring to the relevant status page on your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX; see Chap-
ter "Telephony" on page 35.
u
Your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX will adjust extremely flexibly to your requirements: if
you wish to make a call via VoIP, the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX will automatically pro-
vide a high bandwidth for the purpose. This enables good voice quality when mak-
ing a call via VoIP. However, in order to provide the highest possible bandwidth,
your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX or your Siemens outdoor antenna must be optimally
aligned. Optimise the alignment if necessary to obtain maximum voice quality when
making a call.
u
You need a permanent Internet connection if you wish to be permanently accessible
and make calls via VoIP.
