Confidential ity Notice

This manual is provided solely as an installation, operation, and maintenance guide and contains sensitive business and technical information that is confidential and proprietary to GAI-Tronics. GAI-Tronics retains all intellectual property and other rights in or to the information contained herein, and such information may only be used in connection with the operation of your GAI-Tronics product or system.

Product Overview

RED ALERT® Hands-free WiFi VoIP Telephones are designed for connection to a wireless local area network (WLAN) that meets the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n standard. These telephones will operate from an external power source and provide direct point-to-point communications between personnel throughout the facility over the existing WLAN.
Two WiFi VoIP telephones can be connected in an Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer) configuration without the need for a WLAN. However, a WLAN with SIP Server is required for systems containing three or more WiFi VoIP telephones. Conferences are limited by the customer’s WLAN media capabilities and the services available at each end point.

Models

The following RED ALERT® WiFi VoIP Hands-free Telephones are detailed in this manual:

System Requirements and Limitations

The WiFi Telephones require a local 24–48 V dc power source for operation (24 V dc supply provided). Two telephones can communicate wirelessly in a peer-to-peer configuration without the need for a LAN connection. However, a wireless pick-up point connected to a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet with SIP server is required for systems containing three or more WiFi Telephones (or a combination of WiFi and hardwire­connected VoIP Telephones). Conferences are limited by the customer’s LAN media capabilities and the services available at each end point.
In addition to direct point-to-point dialing (peer-to-peer), directly or via a SIP server, each telephone is capable of receiving a Multicast broadcast. Multicast allows a single audio stream to be sent to multiple end points simultaneously, to achieve multi-point paging or Public Address functionality over IP. Multicast requires the use of a SIP server or IP device that specifically supports Multicast functionality and each telephone must be configured (enabled) to receive Multicast packets.

Tips for VoIP Subscribers

If you have or are thinking of subscribing to an interconnected VoIP service, you should:
Provide your accurate physical address to your interconnected VoIP service provider to ensure that
emergency services can quickly be dispatched to your location.
Be familiar with your VoIP service provider’s procedures for updating your address, and promptly
update address information in the event of a change.
Have a clear understanding of any limitations of your 911 service. Inform children, babysitters, and visitors about your VoIP service and its 911 limitations, if any. If your power is out or your internet connection is down, be aware that your VoIP service may not
work. Consider installing a backup power supply, maintaining a traditional telephone line, or having a wireless telephone as a backup.
If you have questions about interconnected VoIP and 911 or about VoIP in general, see
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/voip.html.

Receiving a Call

f:\standard ioms - current release\42004 instr. manuals\42004-471c.doc 02/15
PUB. 42004-471C
HANDS-FREE WIFI VOIP TELEPHONES PAGE 5 of 26

Multicast Broadcast

When making a Multicast call, the SIP server will send a paging request to a specific IP address and expect multiple telephones to accept and play the subsequent audio. GAI-Tronics VoIP telephones can be programmed for up to eight Multicast addresses to permit the receipt of Multicast broadcasts from different sources or to enable zoning of broadcasts. Each Multicast address can be assigned a priority (via programming) to define which can override which. A telephone with Multicast enabled can still make and receive normal calls (peer-to-peer or SIP server). Normal calls can be assigned a priority level, defining whether calls can override Multicasts or vice versa.

Monitoring and Reporting

Each telephone can recognize and generate several hardware and configuration fault condition alarms. These alarms can be signaled to a remote site using three methods:
Syslog output over TCP SMTP mail message Telephone Management Application (TMA) software (purchased separately)
Available alarms are:
Handset integrity loop (if applicable) Configuration error Cold reset (power cycle) Warm reset (internal command) Keypad error (if applicable) Key hook (off hook status, if applicable) Register fail Audio Path Test (speaker/microphone test)

Installation

General Information

WARNING
This product can contain hazardous voltages. Always remove power to this
station and any associated equipment before beginning any installation.
CAUTION
Do not install this equipment in areas other than those indicated on the approval listing in the “Specifications” section of this manual . Such installa tion may cause a safety hazard and consequent injury or property damage.
Install equipment without modification and according to all applicable local and national electrical codes. Consult the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), Canadian Standards Association (CSA 22.1), and local codes for specific requirements regarding your installation. Class 2 circuit wiring must be performed in accordance with NEC 725.55.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Depending upon the wiring and features used on this device, additional precautions may be necessary not to cause harmful interference. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Safety Guidelines

When installing any GAI-Tronics equipment, please adhere to the following guidelines to ensure the safety of all personnel:
Do not install wiring during a lightning storm. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: Your VoIP telephone may have an earth ground terminal
provision. If so, ensure that it is connected to ground in accordance with all local safety regulations and the National Electrical Code (NEC). Grounding has to be ensured for safe and stable communications. Do not use long and coiled ground wires. Trim ground wires to the required length. Use a star configuration whenever possible. Please note proper grounding does not eliminate the need for lightning protection for the telephone or the telephone system. A Cat5 data line lightning surge protector is recommended for telephones subject to any electrostatic discharge (e.g. lightning).
Do not install jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

Station Placement

To prevent feedback problems in the system, volume settings and station placement must be taken into consideration. Unpleasant feedback problems can be reduced by:
Pointing the telephone away from other telephones located nearby Reducing volume levels

Security Hardware

All of the telephones described in this manual are vandal-resistant. The front panel for each telephone covered in this manual is attached to its enclosure with security screws. A GAI-Tronics Model 233-001 Security Screwdriver or Torx T-25 security head tip (sold separately) is required for installing the telephone.
