Gigaset C610IP Cable Setup
Figure 1: Example cable configuration with fail-over and incoming PSTN set up |
- Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to the network port on the side of the Gigaset base station. Connect the other end to a free port on the back of your router.
- To enable the fail-over & incoming PSTN calls feature with NodePhone, connect a telephone cable from the Local Phone port on the ADSL splitter to the phone port on the back of the base station.
NOTE: If you do not use this feature (for example, because you're on a Naked service and have no analog telephone service) then you do not need to plug anything into the rear port. - Connect the small circular power plug to the rear of the base station.
- Plug the power supply in to a 240V AC outlet. The Gigaset will turn on; there is no physical power switch on the base station.
- The Registration and Paging button on the front of the base station should light up blue. If this light does not light up blue, ensure the Ethernet cable is connected properly between the side port on the base station and your router.
Logging into the Gigaset C610IP web interface
Step 1
- Make sure that your Gigaset C610IP is connected to your router with an Ethernet cable, and that your computer has access to the Internet.
- Open your preferred web browser, for example: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.
- Enter the following address into the address bar and then hit Enter on your keyboard:
- http://www.gigaset-config.com
