Please ensure that DHCP is activated in your router. DHCP is activated by default on most routers. First connect the Gigaset Maxwell 10 to your router. The phone is automatically assigned an IP address by the router. Open Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Ethernet configuration on the phone.

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 an individual IP adress, e.g. "192.168.001.100, please enter "http://192.168.1.100" in your browser without leading zeros. You will now be taken to the Maxwell 10 web configuration menu.

Create a user for the BLF:

In the web configuration menu of the Gigaset Maxwell 10, switch to the Settings tab , then in the menu on the left-hand side go to the Function keys area . Under Programmable keys, you can now enter the data as shown below. You can create these beforehand using the Add button. Aferwards, you can simply edit the programmable buttons (PK1 to PK14) using the Edit button.

Select BLF in the Function field. Then select your own sipgate account in the Connection name field. Enter the name of the user in the Name field. Enter the employee's internal extension number in the Number field. For example, enter 42 to see the status of the user with the extension 42.
