Prerequisites
Before you start, you need to know your VoIP username, password and the server that your number is connected to. You can do this from your Soho66 account, by clicking My Soho, then "Your Numbers", then the telephone number that you wish to connect to. The VoIP username and VoIP password are near the bottom of the page, in a section entitled VoIP Settings.
Registering your handset
On your handset, select the following Menu > Settings > Registration > Register Handset. It will ask you for a system PIN, this is 0000. Before you enter the PIN, press and HOLD the silver button (Glows Blue) on your base station for 3 SECONDS and let go, enter the PIN and this will register the handset.
Step 1: Locating the IP address
You can obtain the IP Address two different ways. You can either type in gigaset-config.com into the address bar of your web browser OR click on menu > settings > System > Network > IP Address. If you cannot see this option, your handset will need registering (See above step). DO NOT include any leading zeros, so 192.168.001.010 should actually be typed 192.168.1.10 into your web browser. You should see the following login screen:
