Introduction

For a while now, smartphones have been established as an alternative to mobile phones and have developed into genuine multi-functional units. In addition to mobile accessibility, there is also focus now on the use of additional applications and services – both on the move as well as in the office or at home.

Thanks to suitable improvements, i.e. through so-called apps, mobile and landline telephony can be merged into a single device on smartphones. As an example, the Media5-fone app transforms the smartphone into an elmeg hybird 120™ internal VoIP telephone. The elmeg hybird 120™ is therefore expanded with a wireless LAN through the use of external access point, thus allowing laptops, smartphones or tablet PCs to access the local network. The smartphone logs in to the WLAN and the Media5-fone app logs in to the elmeg hybird 120™ as an internal VoIP telephone. Internal calls to other local telephones are possible in the same manner as external calls via a landline or access to the internal voicemail system of the elmeg hybird 120™.

The advantages include the following:

This workshop describes how to set up an iPhone 4™ smartphone with the Media5-fone app as an internal subscriber of the elmeg hybird 120™. In doing so, only the settings required for this scenario within the elmeg hybird 120™ as well as within the smartphone app shall be explained. Other possible settings are not included in this workshop.

The GUI™ (Graphical User Interface) is used for configuring here.
