5 Basic Operations
5.1 Get Familiar with Key Pad and Voice Prompt
HandyTone-486 stores a voice prompt menu (Interactive Voice Response or IVR) for quick browsing and simple configuration. To enter this voice prompt menu, simply press the button on the HandyTone-486 or pick up the phone and dial “***”. The following table shows how to use the voice prompt menu to configure the device.

99 “RESET” Enter “9” to reboot the device; or
Enter MAC address to restore factory default setting (For details, see section 8.)
“Invalid Entry” Automatically returns to Main Menu
NOTES:
Once the LED button is pressed, it enters voice prompt main menu. If the button is pressed
again while it is already in the voice prompt menu state, it jumps to “Direct IP Calling” option and dial tone plays in this state
“*” shifts down to the next menu option
“#” returns to the main menu
“9” functions as the ENTER key in many cases to confirm an option
All entered digit sequences have known lengths - 2 digits for menu option and 12 digits for IP
address. Once all digits are accumulated, the device will automatically process them
For IP address input, omit the dot and enter the digits directly, add 0 for those octets with less
than three digits. e.g.: IP: 192.168.1.10, key in: 192168001010
Key entry cannot be deleted but the phone may prompt error once it is detected
5.2 Make Phone Calls
5.2.1 Calling phone or extension numbers
There are currently two methods to make an extension number call:
a) Dial the numbers directly and wait for 4 seconds (Default “No Key Entry Timeout”). Or b) Dial the numbers directly, and press # (assuming that “use #” as dial key is selected in web
configuration). Examples: To dial another extension on the same proxy, such as 1008, simply pick up attached phone, dial 1008 and then press the # or wait for 4 seconds. To dial a PSTN number such as 6266667890, you might need to enter in some prefix number followed by the phone number. Please check with your VoIP service provider to get the information. If you phone is assigned with a PSTN-like number such as 6265556789, most likely you just follow the
11
HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.
rule to dial 16266667890 as if you were calling from a regular analog phone, followed by pressing the # or wait for 4 seconds.
5.2.2 Direct IP calls
Direct IP calling allows two parties, 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. This kind of VoIP calls can be made between two parties if:
Both HandyTone ATA and other VoIP Device(i.e., another HandyTone ATA or Budgetone SIP
phone or other VoIP unit) have public IP addresses, or
Both HandyTone ATA and other VoIP Device are on the same LAN using private IP addresses,
or
Both HandyTone ATA and other VoIP Device can be connected through a router using public
or private IP addresses (with necessary port forwarding or DMZ).
To make a direct IP to IP call, first pick up the analog phone or turn on the speakerphone on the analog phone, then access the voice menu prompt by dial “***” or press the button on the HandyTone-286, and dials “47” to access the direct IP call menu. User will hear a voice prompt “Direct IP Calling” and a dial tone. Enter a 12-digit target IP address to make a call. Destination ports can be specified by using “*4” (encoding for “:”) followed by the port number.
Examples:
If the target IP address is 192.168.0.10, the dialing convention is Voice Prompt with option 47, then 192 168 000 010 followed by pressing the “#” key if it is configured as a send key or wait for more than 5 seconds.
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 4 seconds.
5.2.3 Call Hold
While in conversation, pressing the “FLASH” button on the attached phone will put the remote end on hold. Pressing the “FLASH” button again will release the previously Hold party and the bi-directional media will resume.
5.2.4 Call Waiting
If call waiting feature is enabled, while the user is in a conversation, he will hear a special stutter tone if there is another incoming call. User can press the flash button to put the current call party on hold and switch to the other call. Pressing flash button toggles between two active calls.
12
HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.
5.2.5 Call Transfer
5.2.5.1 Blind Transfer
Assuming 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. A dials *87 followed by C’s number, then #(or wait for 4 seconds)
3. A can hang up.
NOTE:Enable Call Feature” has to be set to “Yes” in web configuration page.
A can hold on to the phone and wait for one of the three following behaviors:
A quick confirmation tone (temporarily using the call waiting indication tone) followed by a
dial tone. This indicates the transfer is successful (transferee has received a 200 OK from transfer target). At this point, A 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 decided 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.
5.2.5.2 Attended Transfer
Assuming that call party A and B are in conversation. A wants to Attend 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. A then dial C’s number followed by # (or wait for 4 seconds).
3. If C answers the call, A and C are in conversation. Then A can hang up to complete transfer.
4. If C does not answer the call, A can press “FLASH” back to talk to B.
NOTE:
When Attended Transfer failed and A hang up, HandyTone- 486 will ring user A back again to
remind A that B is still on the call. A can pick up the phone to restore conversation with B.
13
HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.
5.2.6 3-way Conferencing
HandyTone-496 supports 3-way conference in two styles: star code style or Bellcore style.
5.2.6.1 Star Code Style 3-way Conference
Assuming that call party A and B are in conversation. A wants to bring C in a conference:
1. A presses FLASH (on the analog phone, or Hook Flash for old model phones) to get a dial
tone.
2. A dials *23 then C’s number then # (or wait for 4 seconds).
3. If C answers the call, then A press “flash” to bring B, C in the conference.
4. If C does not answer the call, A can press “flash” back to talk to B.
5.2.6.2 Bellcore Style 3-way Conference
Bellcore style 3-way conference is also supported. To do this, user needs to enable “Use Bell-style 3­way Conference” in FXS1 or FXS2 web configuration.
Assuming that call party A and B are in conversation. A wants to bring C in a conference:
1. A presses FLASH (on the analog phone, or Hook Flash for old model phones) to get a dial
tone.
2. A dials C’s number then # (or wait for 4 seconds).
3. If C answers the call, then A press “flash” to bring B, C in the conference.
4. If C does not answer the call, A can press “flash” back to talk to B.
5.2.7 PSTN Pass Through/Life line
HandyTone-486 Rev. 2.0 supports PSTN pass through. User can send and receive PSTN calls with the attached analog phone.
To receive PSTN calls, simply make phone off hook when the analog phone rings. To make a PSTN call, press the PSTN access code (*00 by default, or any number configured in web configuration page) to switch to PSTN line and get a dial tone, then dial the PSTN number.
When HandyTone-486 is out of power, it will function as a jack. User can use the same analog phone for PSTN calls.

5.4 FAX
HandyTone-486 supports FAX in two modes: T.38 (Fax over IP) and fax pass through. T.38 is the preferred method because it is more reliable and works well in most network conditions. If the service provider supports T.38, please use this method by selecting Fax mode to be T.38. If the service provider does not support T.38, pass-through mode may be used. To send or receive faxes in fax pass through mode, users will need to select all the Preferred Codecs to be PCMU/PCMA.

End User Password
Web Port IP Address
DHCP hostname
This field contains the password to access the Web Configuration Menu. The password is case sensitive with a maximum of 25 characters.
This is the device’s internal HTTP server port. Default is 80. There are 2 modes under which the HandyTone ATA can operate:
- If DHCP mode is enabled, then all the field values for the Static IP mode are not used (even though they are still saved in the Flash memory) and the IP phone will acquire its IP address from the first DHCP server it discovers on the LAN it attaches to.
To use PPPoE feature please set the PPPoE account settings if the HandyTone ATA is connected directly to a DSL modem. The HandyTone ATA will attempt to establish a PPPoE session if any of the PPPoE fields are set.
- If Static IP mode is selected, then the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Router IP address, DNS Server 1 (primary), DNS Server 2 (secondary) fields will need to be configured. These fields are set to zero by default.
This option specifies the name of the client. This field is optional but may be required by some Internet Service Providers. Default is blank.
DHCP domain
DHCP vendor class ID
PPPoE account ID
PPPoE password Time Zone
This option specifies the domain name that client should use when resolving hostnames via the Domain Name System. Default is blank.
This option is used by clients and servers to exchange vendor-specific information. Default is blank.
PPPoE username. Fill this field if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection.

Daylight Savings Time
This parameter controls whether the displayed time will be daylight savings time or not. If set to “Yes” and the Optional Rule is empty, then the displayed time will be 1 hour ahead of normal time.
The “Automatic Daylight Saving Time Rule” shall have the following syntax: start-time;end-time;saving Both start-time and end-time have the same syntax: month,day,weekday,hour,minute month: 1,2,3,..,12 (for Jan, Feb, .., Dec) day: [+|-]1,2,3,..,31 weekday: 1, 2, 3, .., 7 (for Mon, Tue, .., Sun), or 0 which means the daylight saving rule is not based on week days but based on the day of the month. hour: hour (0-23), minute: minute (0-59)
If “weekday” is 0, it means the date to start or end daylight saving is at exactly the given date. In that case, the “day” value must not be negative. If “weekday” is not zero and “day” is positive, then the daylight saving starts on the first “day”th iteration of the weekday (1st Sunday, 3rd Tuesday etc). If “weekday” us not zero and “day” is negative, then the daylight saving starts on the last “day”th iteration of the weekday (last Sunday, 3rd last Tuesday etc).
The saving is in the unit of minutes. The saving time may also be preceded by a negative (-) sign if subtraction is desired instead of addition.
The default value for “Automatic Daylight Saving Time Rule” shall be set to “04,01,7,02,00;10,-1,7,02,00;60” which is the rule for US.
Examples US/Canada where daylight saving time is applicable: 04,01,7,02,00;10,-1,7,02,00;60 This means the daylight saving time starts from the first Sunday of April at 2AM and ends the last Sunday of October at 2AM. The saving is 60 minutes (1hour).

Local area code for North American Dial Plan. The HandyTone ATA supports 6 different codec types including G.711 A/U
lawG.723.1, G.726, G.729A/B, iLBC. A user can configure Codecs in a preference list that will be included with the same preference order in SDP message.
Encoding rate for G723 codec. By default, 6.3kbps rate is set. iLBC packet frame size. Default is 20ms. For Asterisk PBX, 30ms might be
required. Payload type for iLBC. Default value is 97. The valid range is between 96 and
127. This enables/disables the silence suppression/VAD feature of G723. If set to
“Yes”, when a silence is detected, small quantity of VAD packets (instead of audio packets) will be sent during this period. If set to “No”, this feature is disabled.

Voice Frames per TX
Fax Mode Layer 3 QoS
This field contains the number of voice frames 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 codec in the above codec Preference List or the actual used payload type negotiated between the 2 conversation parties at run time. e.g., if the first codec 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 codec 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 codec choice. The maximum value for PCM is 10(x10ms) frames. For G726, it is 20 (x10ms) frames. And 32 (x30ms) and 64 (x10ms) frames for G723 and G729 respectively.
T.38 (Auto Detect) FoIP by default, or Fax Pass-Through. This field defines the layer 3 QoS parameter which can be the value used for IP

Layer 2 QoS settings for LAN port device traffic. Default setting is blank. VLAN supported equipment is required if user needs to change these settings.
If set to “Yes”, the device will ignore any SIP message that does not come from the IP address (Source IP in the IP header) that it is registered to. Default setting is “No”.
Default is “No”. If set to “Yes” the client will use DNS SRV to lookup for the server.
If set to yes, a “user=phone” parameter will be attached to the “From” header in SIP request.
This parameter decides whether the HandyTone ATA needs to send REGISTER messages to the proxy server. The default setting is “Yes”.
Default is “No”. If set to “Yes”, the device will first send registration request to remove previous bindings.
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).

Default is “No”. Use only if proxy supports 484 response. Default is “No”. When set to “Yes”, the device still has a dial tone and allows
user make outgoing calls even if the device is not registered to the SIP proxy.
Sets the prefix added to each dialed number. Default is 4 seconds.
This parameter allows 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. If set to “No”, the “#” key will then be included as part of the dialed string to be sent out.
This parameter defines the local SIP port the HandyTone ATA listens and transmits. The default value is 5060.
This parameter defines the local RTP-RTCP port pair the HandyTone ATA listens and transmits. 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 NAT IP:
Proxy-Require Subscribe for MWI:
Default “No”. If set to “Yes”, the device will pick randomly-generated SIP and RTP ports. This is usually necessary when multiple HandyTone ATAs are behind the same NAT.
This setting decides whether the NAT traversal mechanism is activated. It should be set to “Yes” if the device is behind a NAT router. If no outbound proxy is configured, a STUN server needs to be set to activate STUN detection mechanism. Usually ITSP will provide these settings. If this field is set to “Yes”, then the device will periodically (every Keep-alive interval) send a dummy UDP packet to the SIP server to pinhole the NAT.
Default is 20 seconds. The minimum value allowed is 10 seconds. This is the interval of sending dummy UDP packet to keep the NAT “pin hole” open.
If configured, the NAT IP address will be used in SIP/SDP message. Default is blank.
SIP Extension to notify SIP server that the unit is behind the NAT/Firewall. Default is “No”. When set to “Yes” a SUBSCRIBE for Message Waiting

This parameter allows a 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. Note: Please write down the IP address of the ATA if you use this feature as it will prevent you to access the IVR and the only way to access the device configuration is via the web configuration page.
Default is “Yes”. Advanced call features and feature codes functions are supported locally.
If this parameter is set to “Yes”, user will be able to make Bellcore style 3-way conference. *23 will be disabled.
Default is “No”. User can use star codes to enable/disable call waiting.
This parameter specifies the mechanism to transmit DTMF digit. There are 3 modes supported: in audio which means DTMF is combined in audio signal (not very reliable with low-bit-rate codec), via RTP (RFC2833), or via SIP INFO. Multiple selections of DTMF method are supported.

Grandstream implemented SIP Session Timer. The session timer extension enables SIP sessions to be periodically “refreshed” via a re-INVITE request. Once the session interval expires, if there is no refresh via a re-INVITE message, the session will be terminated.
Session Expiration is the time (in seconds) at which the session is considered timed out, if no successful session refresh transaction occurs beforehand. The default value is 180 seconds.
The minimum session expiration (in seconds). The default value is 90 seconds. If selecting “Yes” the phone will use session timer when it makes outbound
calls if remote party supports session timer. If selecting “Yes” the phone will use session timer when it receives inbound
calls with session timer request. If selecting “Yes” the phone will use session timer even if the remote party
does not support this feature. Selecting “No” will allow the phone to enable session timer only when the remote party support this feature. To turn off Session Timer, select “No” for Caller Request Timer, Callee Request Timer, and Force Timer.

6.3 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 file, “cfg000b82xxxxxx”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the MAC address of the HandyTone ATA.
The configuration files can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP from the central server. A service provider or an enterprise with large deployment of HandyTone ATA can easily manage the configuration and service provisioning of individual devices remotely from a central server.
Grandstream provides a licensed provisioning system called GAPS that can be used to support automated configuration of HandyTone ATA. 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 provide GAPS (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System) service to VoIP service providers. It could be either simple redirection or with certain special provisioning settings. Initially upon booting up, Grandstream devices by default point to Grandstream provisioning server GAPS, based on the unique MAC address of each device, GAPS provision the devices with redirection settings so that they will be redirected to customer’s TFTP or HTTP server for further provisioning. Grandstream also provide GAPSLite software package which contains our NAT friendly TFTP server and a configuration tool to facilitate the task of generating device configuration files.
The GAPSLite configuration tool is now free to end users. The tool and configuration template are available for download from http://www.grandstream.com/DOWNLOAD/Configuration_Tool/.

7 Software Upgrade
Software upgrade can be done via either TFTP or HTTP. The corresponding configuration settings are in the ADVANCED SETTINGS configuration page.
7.1 Firmware Upgrade through TFTP/HTTP
To upgrade via TFTP or HTTP, the “Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning upgrade via” field (IVR option 17) needs to be set to TFTP or HTTP, respectively. “Firmware Server Path” needs to be set to a valid URL of a TFTP or HTTP server, server name can be in either FQDN or IP address format. Here are examples of some valid URL. e.g. firmware.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.8.32
e.g. 168.75.215.189
NOTES:
Firmware server in IP address format can be configured via IVR. Please refer to section 5.1 for
instructions. If firmware server is in FQDN format, it must be set via web configuration interface.
Once a “Firmware Server Path” and the upgrade protocol are set, user needs to update the
settings and reboot the device. If the configured firmware 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/HTTP fails for any reason (e.g., TFTP/HTTP 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/HTTP process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.
Firmware upgrade may take as long as 1 to 20 minutes over Internet, or just 20+ seconds if it is
performed on a LAN. It is recommended to conduct firmware upgrade in a controlled LAN environment if possible. For users who do not have a local firmware upgrade server, Grandstream provides a NAT-friendly TFTP server on the public Internet for firmware upgrade. Please check the Services section of Grandstream’s Web site to obtain our public TFTP server’s IP address.
Alternatively, user can download a free TFTP or HTTP server and conduct local firmware
upgrade. A free windows version TFTP server is available for download from http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/New-customerFree.cfm downloaded from http://www.grandstream.com/y-firmware.htm. Unzip the file and put all of them under the root directory of the TFTP server. Put the PC running the TFTP server and the HandyTone ATA in the same LAN segment. Please go to File -> Configure -> Security to change the TFTP server's default setting from "Receive Only" to "Transmit Only" for the firmware upgrade. Start the TFTP server, in the HandyTone ATA’s web configuration page, configure the Firmware Server Path with the IP address of the PC, update the change and reboot the unit. Please be advised that our client will pull out firmware from the WAN side, if

the TFTP server is connected to the device’s LAN port, the firmware upgrade will not work by design.
7.2 Configuration File Download
Grandstream SIP Device can be configured via Web Interface as well as via Configuration File through TFTP or HTTP. “Config Server Path” is the TFTP or HTTP server path for configuration file. It needs to be set to a valid URL, either in FQDN or IP address format. The “Config Server Path” can be same or different from the “Firmware Server Path”.
A configuration parameter is associated with each particular field in the web configuration page. A parameter consists of a Capital letter P and 2 to 3 (Could be extended to 4 in the future) digit numeric numbers. i.e., P2 is associated with “Admin Password” in the ADVANCED SETTINGS page. For a detailed parameter list, please refer to the corresponding firmware release configuration template.
When Grandstream Device boots up or reboots, it will issue request for configuration file named “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx”, where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the MAC address of the device, i.e., “cfg000b820102ab”. The configuration file name should be in lower cases.
7.3 Firmware and Configuration File Prefix and Postfix
Starting from firmware version 1.0.7.11 for HandyTone-486 Rev 2.0, adding prefix and postfix for both firmware and configuration file is supported.
Firmware Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the firmware name with the matching Prefix and Postfix. This makes it the possible to store ALL of the firmware with different version in one single directory. Similarly, Config File Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the configuration file with the matching Prefix and Postfix. Thus multiple configuration files for the same device can be stored in one directory.
In addition, when the field “Check New Firmware only when F/W pre/suffix changes” is set to “Yes”, the device will only issue firmware upgrade request if there are changes in the firmware Prefix or Postfix.
7.4 Managing Firmware and Configuration File Download
When “Automatic Upgrade” is set to “Yes”, Service Provider can use P193 (Auto Check Interval, in minutes, default and minimum is 60 minutes) to have the devices periodically check with either Firmware Server or Config Server, whenever they are defined. This allows the device periodically check if there are any new changes need to be taken on a scheduled time. By defining different intervals in P193 for different devices, Server Provider can spread the Firmware or Configuration File download in minutes to reduce the Firmware or Provisioning Server load at any given time.

IP Telephony
(Internet Protocol telephony, also known as Voice over IP Telephony) A general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally b een carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The basic steps involved in originating an IP Telephony call are conversion of the analog voice signal to digital
42
HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.
format and compression/translation of the signal into Internet protocol (IP) packets for transmission over the Internet or other packet-switched networks; the process is reversed at the receiving end. The terms IP Telephony and Internet Telephony are often used to mean the same; however, they are not 100 per cent interchangeable, since Internet is only a subcase of packet-switched networks. For users who have free or fixed-price Internet access, IP Telephony software essentially provides free telephone calls anywhere in the world. However, the challenge of IP Telephony is maintaining the quality of service expected by subscribers. Session border controllers resolve this issue by providing quality assurance comparable to legacy telephone systems.
IVR
IVR is a software application that accepts a combination of voice telephone input and touch­tone keypad selection and provides appropriate responses in the form of voice, fax, callback, e­mail and perhaps other media.
MTU

OBP/SBC
Outbound Proxy or another name Session Border Controller. A device used in VoIP networks. OBP/SBCs are put into the signaling and media path between calling and called party. The OBP/SBC acts as if it was the called VoIP phone and places a second call to the called party. The effect of this behaviour is that not only the signaling traffic, but also the media traffic (voice, video etc) crosses the OBP/SBC. Without an OBP/SBC, the media traffic travels directly between the VoIP phones. Private OBP/SBCs are used along with firewalls
to enable VoIP calls to and from a protected enterprise network. Public VoIP service providers use OBP/SBCs to allow the use of VoIP protocols from private networks with internet using NAT
