I’ve not been able to update my c685 for ages now – constantly getting “Tranmission error 400″

What do I need to do to fix it?

[...] Since that review was published a number of people have commented that the A580IP was perhaps a bit too spartan in its feature set. At the time I thought it best to describe the lowest cost system being offered, especially since the S675IP was already reviewed elsewhere. [...]

Hi
since I have changed my router, I can call (my provider is poivy) with my s685ip, The receiver can hear me but I cannot.
Is there any setting I need to change?

Just wanted to say thank you. Its really helpful to read a website/blog full of useful information. Very kind of you to take the trouble to do this.
I am a bit of a techno idiot and have been looking for some honest advice on the Siemens S685 IP phone and reading this really helped.
Thank you

Very nice article. I have installed a Gigaset 685IP Base with 5 handsets and everything is working very nicely. One issue I noticed is that only two VoIP connections can be connected concurrently. Is is not an issue at the moment, but I wonder if there is a solution to scale this up? Currently the phone sits on a very fast broadband (up and down) connection. Simply adding another base-station would not open up additional VoIP lines. Any ideas?

Thanks Alan. Had a look but cannot find any setup info. However, I have subscribed to VoIPFONE and set the S685IP up to call out and receive calls using their service and also to receive calls on my Tesco line – Tesco are pulling out of the Internet Telephone market and will refund my pre-paid call credit when their service ceases on 27th April. I have also signed up to try Vonage, hence my posting as their V-Portal adapter is still on its way to me.
