Last updated:
Tested model(s):
  • Gigaset DECT Series N670 IP PRO with the supported DECT handsets, e.g. SL750H PRO or R650H PRO
  • Gigaset DECT Series N870 IP PRO with the supported DECT handsets, e.g. L750H PRO or R650H PRO
The devices have been tested with OpenScape Cloud with the following firmware versions:
  • Gigaset N670 IP PRO → V2.24.0
  • Gigaset N870 IP PRO → V2.26.0

The instructions provided below are likely valid for other firmware versions and devices but Unify will not validate it.

A 3rd party device configuration should be done by your ICT service partner or company administrator. Support from Unify for 3rd party devices is restricted to provide a generic configuration of OpenScape Cloud so that a device can be connected, and to operate the Cloud solution. If you have issues when setting up a 3rd party device, including its connection to OpenScape Cloud, or with its features and functions, please contact your 3rd party device supplier.

Prerequisites:
  • The Wi-Fi network is available and working.
  • A computer is connected to the local network, having a standard web browser, so as to configure the telephone system via the base station’s web interface.

  • The Gigaset N670/ N870 IP PRO base station is connected to the Local Area Network and system administrator knows its IP address.

  • Users who will be using a handset connected to Gigaset N670/ N870 IP PRO base station are assigned a phone number and desk phone via Circuit by an OpenScape Cloud tenant administrator.

  • Make sure you have the following SIP information:

    • SIP digest authentication credentials for every user who will be using a handset connected to the base station, i.e. SIP User ID and password of each endpoint entry.

    • SIP server address and port.

    SIP information and certificate is obtained in self service from Circuit domain administrators who need to navigate to Administration > Cloud telephony and then select the users who will be using the handsets.

  • Make sure you have the necessary certificate for establishing a secure TLS connection to OpenScape Cloud: RootCA.pem.

  • Make sure you have another necessary certificate and its private key. This is not used for the connection to OpenScape Cloud, but between the handsets and the base. As a system administrator you can e.g. create a server certificate and a private key using the following command in a Linux server: openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout key.pem -x509 -days 365 -out server.pem. Alternatively you can obtain a shared certificate and key from our onboarding team contacting to the following e-mail: OSC-Provisioning@atos.net.

  • Make sure you have a CLM and a CLA running with the necessary licenses available and assigned to the Gigaset N670/ N870 IP PRO solution.
