This guide applies to Gigaset telephones of the Maxwell 10 type.

{% endhint %}

To be able to use the full functionality of your sipgate account on your Gigaset Pro device, please make sure that at least firmware version 02.00.04 is installed. The best way to perform a firmware update is directly via the following menu items on the phone: SETTINGS ➔ SYSTEM ➔ FIRMWARE UPDATE. You can also view the currently installed firmware version directly on the device via the following menu items: STATUS ➔ DEVICE.

#### **Display phone IP address**

Please make sure that DHCP is enabled on the router. On most routers, DHCP is enabled by default. Then connect the Gigaset Maxwell 10 to your router. The phone will automatically be assigned an IP address by the router. Open on the phone **settings** ➔ **Wireless & Networks** ➔ **Ethernet Configuration**.

The current IP address is displayed. If 0.0.0.0 is displayed, please check point 1 and restart the router and phone. If the IP address is, for example, "192.168.001.100", enter the following in your browser without leading zeros: "<http://192.168.1.100>". You will now reach the Maxwell 10 web configuration menu.

#### **Create user for BLF:**

Via the web configuration menu of the Gigaset Maxwell 10, switch to the tab **settings**, then via the menu on the left to the area **Function keys**. Under the item **Programmable Keys** you can now enter the data as shown below. Before that, you can add it via the button **add** . The programmable keys (PK1 to PK14) can then simply be **Edit** edit the selected contact.

In the field **Function** select **BLF** in the field **Connection name** then select your own sipgate account. Enter the name of the user in the field **Name** the name of the user. In the field **a phone number** write the employee's internal extension. So enter e.g. 42 to see the status of the user with extension 42. In the field **Code for call pickup** enter \*9 so that you can also use the pickup function via the programmable keys. Confirm your entries by clicking on **Saving**.
