HandyTone-486 User Manual

5.2

Make Phone Calls

Grandstream Networks, Inc.

5.2.1

Calling phone or extension numbers

There are currently two methods to make an extension number call: a) Dial the numbers number directly and wait for 4 (default) seconds. b) Dial the numbers directly, and press # (assuming that “use #” as dial key is selected in web configuration).

Other functions available during the call are call-waiting/flash, call-transfer, and callforwarding.

5.2.2

Direct IP calls

Direct IP calling allows two phones, that is, a HandyTone with an analog phone and another

VoIP Device, to talk to each other in an ad hoc fashion without a SIP proxy. VoIP calls can be made between two phones if:

• both HandyTone ATA and other VoIP Device(i.e., another HandyTone ATA or other

HandyTone ATA) have public IP addresses, or

• both HandyTone ATA and other VoIP Device(i.e., another HandyTone ATA or other

HandyTone ATA) are on the same LAN using private or public IP addresses, or

• Both HandyTone ATA and other VoIP Device(i.e., another HandyTone ATA or other

HandyTone ATA) can be connected through a router using public or private IP addresses.

To make a direct IP calling, first pick up the analog phone or turn on the speakerphone on the analog phone, then follow Section 4.1 with voice prompt 47, followed by the 12-digit target IP address. Destination ports can also be specified using *4 (encoding for “:”) followed by the encoded port number. Following is a table of the encoding scheme for the most commonly used characters:

F

00 0

01 1

02 2

03 3

04 4

05 5

06 6

07 7

08 8

09 9

*0 . (dot character)

*4 : (column character)

9

HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.

Examples:

If the target IP address is 192.168.0.160, the dialing convention is

Voice Prompt with option 47, then 192168000160

followed by pressing the “#” key if it is configured as a send key or wait for more than 5 seconds. In this case, the default destination port 5060 is used if no port is specified.

If the target IP address/port is 192.168.1.20:5062, then the dialing convention would be:

Voice Prompt with option 47, then 192168001020

*45062 followed by pressing the “#” key if it is configured as a send key or wait for 5 seconds.

5.2.3

Blind Transfer

Assume that call party A and B are in conversation. A wants to Blind Transfer B to C:

1. A presses FLASH (on the analog phone, or Hook Flash for old model phones) to get a dial tone.

2. Then A dials *87 then dials C’s number, and then #(or wait for 4 seconds)

3. A can hang up.

Note: Call Feature has to be set to YES.

A can hold on to the phone and await one of the three following behaviors:

• A quick confirmation tone (temporarily using the call waiting indication tone) follows by a dial tone. This indicates the transfer has been successful (transferee has received a 200 OK from transfer target). At this point, you can either hang up or make another call.

• A quick busy tone followed by a restored call (On supported platforms only). This means the transferee has received a 4xx response for the INVITE and we will try to recover the call. The busy tone is just to indicate to the transferor that the transfer has failed.

• Busy tone keeps playing. This means we have failed to receive the second NOTIFY from the transferee and decide to time out. Note: this does not indicate the transfer has been successful, nor does it indicate the transfer has failed. When transferee is a client that does not support the second NOTIFY (such as our own earlier firmware), this will be the case. In bad network scenarios, this could also happen, although the transfer may have been completed successfully.

5.2.4

Attended Transfer

Assume that call party A and B are in conversation. A wants to Attend Transfer B to C:

10

HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.

1. A presses FLASH (on the analog phone, or Hook Flash for old model phones) to get a dial tone

2. A then dial C’s number then # (or wait for 4 seconds), A and C now in conversation.

3. Then A can hang up.

Note: When intended Transfer failed, if A hangs up, the HandyTone 486 will ring user A again to remind A that B is still on the call, by pressing FLASH or Hook again will restore conversation between A and B.

5.2.5

Send and Receive PSTN Calls Through PSTN Line Port

Starting with HandyTone 486 Rev 2.0, user will be able to send and receive calls from PSTN.

To receive PSTN calls, simply make phone off hook when the analog phone rings. To make a PSTN call, simply press *00 to get the PSTN line dial tone and dial the PSTN number.

HandyTone-486 User Manual

Preferred Vocoder

Grandstream Networks, Inc.

The HandyTone ATA supports up to 6 different vocoder types including G.711 A-/Ulaw，G.723.1, G.726, G.728, G.729A/B, iLBC. Depending on the product model, some of these vocoders may not be provided in standard release.

A user can configure vocoders in a preference list that will be included with the same preference order in SDP message. The first vocoder in this list can be entered by choosing the appropriate option in “Choice 1”. Similarly, the last vocoder in this list can be entered by choosing the appropriate option in “Choice 6”.

G723 Rate:

This defines the encoding rate for G723 vocoder. By default, 6.3kbps rate is chosen.

iLBC frame size:

This sets the iLBC size in 20ms or 30ms

iLBC payload type:

This defines payload time for iLBC. Default value is 98. The valid range is between 96 and 127.

Silence Suppression

This controls the silence suppression/VAD feature of G723 and G729. If set to “Yes”, when a silence is detected, small quantity of VAD packets (instead of audio packets) will be sent during the period of no talking. If set to “No”, this feature is disabled.

Voice Frames per TX

This field contains the number of voice frames to be transmitted in a single packet.

When setting this value, the user should be aware of the requested packet time (used in SDP message) as a result of configuring this parameter. This parameter is associated with the first vocoder in the above vocoder Preference List or the actual used payload type negotiated between the 2 conversation parties at run time. e.g., if the first vocoder is configured as G723 and the “Voice Frames per TX” is set to be 2, then the “ptime” value in the SDP message of an INVITE request will be 60ms because each G723 voice frame contains 30ms of audio. Similarly, if this field is set to be 2 and if the first vocoder chosen is G729 or G711 or G726, then the “ptime” value in the SDP message of an INVITE request will be 20ms.

If the configured voice frames per TX exceeds the maximum allowed value, the

HandyTone ATA will use and save the maximum allowed value for the corresponding first vocoder choice. The maximum value for PCM is 10(x10ms) frames; for G726, it is

20 (x10ms) frames; for G723, it is 32 (x30ms) frames; for G729/G728, 64 (x10ms) and

64 (x2.5ms) frames respectively.

Layer 3 QoS

Layer 2 QoS

This field defines the layer 3 QoS parameter which can be the value used for IP

Precedence or Diff-Serv or MPLS. Default value is 48.

This contains the value used for layer 2 VLAN tag. Default setting is blank.

Use DNS SRV:

User ID is Phone

Number

SIP Registration

Default is No. If set to Yes the

If the HandyTone ATA has an assigned PSTN telephone number, then this field will be set to “Yes”. Otherwise, set it to “No”. If

“Yes” is set, a “user=phone” parameter will be attached to the

“From” header in SIP request

This parameter controls whether the HandyTone ATA needs to send REGISTER messages to the proxy server. The default setting is “Yes”.

Unregister on Reboot Default is No. If set to yes, the SIP user will be unregistered on reboot.

21

HandyTone-486 User Manual

Dial Plan Prefix

Grandstream Networks, Inc.

Register Expiration

This parameter allows the user to specify the time frequency (in minutes) the

HandyTone ATA will refresh its registration with the specified registrar. The default interval is 60 minutes (or 1 hour). The maximum interval is 65535 minutes (about 45 days).

Early Dial

Default is No. Use only if proxy supports 484 response

Sets the prefix added to each dialed number

No Key Entry timeout Default is 4 seconds.

Use # as

Send Key

This parameter allows the user to configure the “#” key to be used as the “Send”(or

“Dial”) key. Once set to “Yes”, pressing this key will immediately trigger the sending of dialed string collected so far. In this case, this key is essentially equivalent to the

“(Re)Dial” key. If set to “No”, this # key will then be included as part of the dial string to be sent out.

Local SIP port

Local RTP port

This parameter defines the local SIP port the HandyTone ATA will listen and transmit.

The default value is 5060.

This parameter defines the local RTP-RTCP port pair the HandyTone ATA will listen and transmit. It is the base RTP port for channel 0. When configured, channel 0 will use this port_value for RTP and the port_value+1 for its RTCP; channel 1 will use port_value+2 for RTP and port_value+3 for its RTCP. The default value is 5004.

Use Random Port

NAT Traversal

Use NAT IP:

Proxy-Require

TFTP Server

This parameter, when set to Yes, will force random generation of both the local SIP and RTP ports. This is usually necessary when multiple HandyTone ATAs are behind the same NAT.

This parameter defines whether the HandyTone ATA NAT traversal mechanism will be activated or not. If activated (by choosing “Yes”) and a STUN server is also specified, then the HandyTone ATA will behave according to the STUN client specification.

Under this mode, the embedded STUN client inside the HandyTone ATA will attempt to detect if and what type of firewall/NAT it is behind through communication with the specified STUN server. If the detected NAT is a Full Cone, Restricted Cone, or a Port-

Restricted Cone, the HandyTone ATA will attempt to use its mapped public IP address and port in all the SIP and SDP messages it sends out.

If this field is set to “Yes” with no specified STUN server, then the HandyTone ATA will periodically (every 10 seconds or so) send a blank UDP packet (with no payload data) to the SIP server to keep the “hole” on the NAT open.

NAT IP address used in SIP/SDP message. Default is blank.

SIP Extension to notify SIP server that the unit is behind the NAT/Firewall.

This is the IP address of the configured TFTP server. If it is non-zero or not blank, the

HandyTone ATA will attempt to retrieve new configuration file or new code image from the specified TFTP server at boot time. It will make up to 3 attempts before timeout and then it will start the boot process using the existing code image in the Flash memory. If a TFTP server is configured and a new code image is retrieved, the new downloaded image will be verified and then saved into the Flash memory.

HTTP Upgrade Server The URL for the HTTP server used for firmware upgrade and configuration via HTTP.

For example, http://provisioning.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.5.16

Here “:6688” is the specific TCP port that the HTTP server is listening at, it can be omitted if using default port 80.

Note: Auto Upgrade has to be set to Yes to enable HTTP upgrade.

22

HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.

Auto Upgrade

Choose Yes to enable HTTP upgrade and provisioning.

In “Check for new firmware every” field, enter the number of days to check the HTTP server for firmware upgrade or configuration.

Subscribe for MWI:

Default is NO. When set to Yes a SUBSCRIBE for Message Waiting Indication will be sent periodically.

Offhook

Auto-Dial

This parameter allows the user to configure a User ID or extension number to be automatically dialed upon offhook. Please note that only the user part of a SIP address needs to be entered here. The HandyTone ATA will automatically append the “@” and the host portion of the corresponding SIP address.

Enable Call Features

Default is No. If set to Yes, Call Forwarding & Do-Not-Disturb are supported locally

Disable Call Waiting

Default is Not.

Send DTMF

This parameter controls the way DTMF events are transmitted. There are 3 ways: in audio which means DTMF is combined in audio signal (not very reliable with low-bitrate codec), via RTP (RFC2833), or via SIP INFO.

DTMF Payload Type

.

Send Flash Event

This parameter allows the user to control whether to send an SIP NOTIFY message indicating the Flash event, or just to switch to the voice channel when the user presses the Flash key.

Selects the impedance of the analog telephone connected to the Phone port.

FXS Impedance

NTP server

Send Anonymous

This parameter defines the URI or IP address of the NTP server which the HandyTone

ATA will use to display the current date/time.

If this parameter is set to “Yes”, the “From” header in outgoing INVITE message will be set to anonymous, essentially blocking the Caller ID from displaying.

Lock keypad update

If this parameter is set to “Yes”, the configuration update via keypad is disabled.

WAN side http access

If this parameter is set to “No”, the HTML configuration update via WAN port is disabled.

Configuration through a Central Server

Grandstream HandyTone ATAs can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system.

When HandyTone ATA boot up, it will send TFTP or HTTP request to download configuration files, there are two configuration files, one is “cfg.txt” and the other is “cfg000b82xxxxxx”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the MAC address of the HandyTone ATA. For more information regarding configuration file format, please refer to the related Grandstream documentation.

The configuration file can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP from the central server. A service provider or an enterprise with large deployment of HandyTone ATAs can easily manage the configuration and service provisioning of individual devices remotely and automatically from a central server. GAPS (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System) uses enhanced (NAT friendly) TFTP or HTTP(thus no NAT issues) and other communication protocols to communicate with each individual HandyTone ATA for firmware upgrade, remote reboot, etc.

Grandstream provides a licensed provisioning system called GAPS that can be used to support automated configuration of HandyTone ATA. To enable this feature on the

HandyTone ATA, the user just needs to enter the IP address of the GAPS server in the TFTP server field of the configuration screen, or enter the HTTP provisioning Server URL in the

HTTP Upgrade Server field. Then reboot the HandyTone ATA.

For details on how GAPS works, please refer to the documentation of GAPS product.

HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.

7.1

Upgrade through HTTP

To upgrade software, HandyTone ATAs can be configured with an HTTP server where the new code image file is located. For example, following URL in the HTTP Upgrade Server: http://firmware.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.5.16

Here, firmware.mycompany.com is the FQDN of the HTTP server, “:6688” is the TCP port the HTTP server listening, “/Grandstream/1.0.5.16” is the RELATIVE directory to the root dir in HTTP server. Thus, you can put different firmware into different directory as well.

Note: To enable HTTP firmware upgrade, “Auto Upgrade” field has to be set to Yes. In addition, the ATA will check the HTTP server in the number of days that is defined in “Check for new firmware every” field.

7.2

Upgrade through TFTP

To upgrade software, HandyTone ATAs can be configured with a TFTP server where the new code image is located. The TFTP upgrade can work in either static IP or DHCP mode using private or public IP address. It is recommended to set the TFTP server address in either a public IP address or on the same LAN with the HandyTone ATA.

There are two ways to set up the TFTP server to upgrade the firmware, namely through voice menu prompt or via the HandyTone ATA’s Web configuration interface. To configure the

TFTP server via voice prompt, follow section 4.1 with option 06, once set up the TFTP IP address, power cycle the ATA, the firmware will be fetched once the ATA boot up.

To configure the TFTP server via the Web configuration interface, open up your browser to point at the IP address of the HandyTone ATA. Input the admin password to enter the configuration screen. From there, enter the TFTP server address in the designated field towards the bottom of the configuration screen.

Once the TFTP server is configured, power cycle the HandyTone ATA.

TFTP checking is only performed during the initial power up. If the configured TFTP server is found and a new code image is available, the HandyTone ATA will attempt to retrieve the new image files by downloading them into the HandyTone ATA’s SRAM. During this stage, the HandyTone ATA’s LEDs will blink until the checking/downloading process is completed.

Upon verification of checksum, the new code image will then be saved into the Flash. If TFTP fails for any reason (e.g., TFTP server is not responding, there are no code image files available for upgrade, or checksum test fails, etc), the HandyTone ATA will stop the TFTP process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.

TFTP may take as long as 1 to 2 minutes over Internet, or just 20+ seconds if it is performed on a LAN. It is generally recommended to conduct TFTP upgrade in a controlled LAN

environment if possible. For users who do not have local TFTP server, Grandstream provides a NAT-friendly TFTP server on the public Internet for users to download the latest firmware upgrade automatically. Please check the Service or Support section of Grandstream’s Web site to obtain this TFTP server IP address.

8 Restore Factory Default Setting

Warning

:

Restore the Factory Default Setting will delete all configuration information of the device.

Step one: Find the MAC Address of the device. The MAC address of the device is located on the bottom of the device. It is a 12 digits number.

Step two: Encode the MAC address. The encode rule is:

“2” is the first letter on the button “2” so its encoding is “2”.

“A” is the second letter on button “2” so its encoding is “22”.

“B” is the third letter on button “2” and its encoding is “222”.

“C” is the fourth letter on button “2” and its encoding is “2222”.

For example, for MAC address 000b8200e395, the user should encode it as “0002228200333395”.

Step three: Access the voice menu, then dial “99” and get the voice prompt “RESET”

Step four: Dial in the encoded MAC address. Once the correct encoded MAC address is dialed in, the device will reboot automatically and restore the factory default setting.
