Appendix Gigaset S685 IP – free software Your Gigaset S685 IP's firmware includes free software that is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License. This free software was developed by a third party and is protected by copyright. You will find the licence text in its original English version on the pages that follow.

Page 241 Appendix We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free soft- ware developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disad- vantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries.
Page 242 Appendix 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
Page 243 Appendix However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
Page 244 Appendix It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprie- tary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you dis- tribute.
Page 245 Appendix 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded.
Page 246 Appendix How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change.

Glossary Glossary ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line Special form of DSL. Application Layer Gateway NAT control mechanism of a router. Many routers with integrated NAT use ALG. ALG lets the data packets in a VoIP connection pass and adds the public IP address of the secure private network. The router's ALG should be deactivated if the VoIP provider offers a STUN server or an outbound proxy.

Page 253 Glossary Domain Name System Hierarchical system that permits the assignment of IP addresses Domain names that are easier to note. This assignment has to be managed by a local DNS server in each (W)LAN. The local DNS server determines the IP address, if necessary by enquiring about superordinate DNS servers and other local DNS servers on the Internet.

Page 259 Glossary Paging (handset search) A base station function to locate registered handsets. The base station estab- lishes a connection to every registered handset. The handsets start to ring. Paging is activated by briefly pressing the key on the base station and is deac- tivated by briefly pressing the same key again.
Page 260 Glossary Quality of Service (QoS) Describes the Quality of Service in communication networks. Differentiations are made between various Quality of Service classes. QoS influences the flow of data packets on the Internet, e.g. by prioritising data packets, reserving bandwidth and data packet optimisation. In VoIP networks, QoS influences the voice quality.
Page 261 Glossary Ringback when the call is not answered = CCNR (Completion of Calls on No Reply). If a participant does not respond when called, a caller can arrange an automatic ringback. As soon as the desti- nation phone has completed a call and is free again, the caller is rung back. This feature must be supported by the exchange.
Page 262 Glossary Subnet mask IP addresses consist of a fixed network number and a variable subscriber number. The network number is identical for all Network subscribers. The size of the network number part is determined in the subnet mask. In the subnet mask 255.255.255.0, for example, the first three parts of the IP address are the network number and the last part the subscriber number.
Page 263 Glossary Universal Resource Locator Globally unique address of a domain on the Internet. A URL is a subtype of URI. URLs identify a resource by its location on the Internet. For historical reasons the term is often used as a synonym for URI. User identification.
