NOTES:

• On the bottom of 486, there is a sticker. If there is Rev:2.0 on the right of tick

sign, it means the HT486 is Rev:2.0 (or HT487 in nickname). The difference
between HT486 (Rev:1.0) and HT486 Rev:2.0 is that HT486 Rev:2.0 line port is
PSTN pass through while HT486 (Rev:1.0, old model, no longer shipped) line
port is just life line port and will bridge to PSTN only when there is no power.

• The HT486 Rev:2.0 and HT486 (Rev:1.0) are hardware difference and can not

change via firmware upgrade.

5 Basic Operations

5.1 Get Familiar with Key Pad and Voice Prompt

HandyTone-486 has stored 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 or “***” from the analog
phone.

Menu Voice Prompt User’s Options

Main Menu

01 “DHCP Mode”,

02 “IP Address “ + IP address It will prompt you with the current

03 “Subnet “ + IP address Same as menu 02
04 “Gateway “ + IP address Same as menu 02
05 “DNS Server “ + IP address Same as menu 02
06 “TFTP Server “ + IP

47 “Direct IP Calling” When entered, you will be prompted a

86 “Voice Messages Pending”

99 “RESET” Enter ‘9’ to confirm the RESET

“Invalid Entry” Automatically return to Main Menu

NOTES:

• Once the button is pressed, it enters the IVR 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 to allow direct IP to IP calling

“Enter a Main Option” Enter ‘*’ to menu_01

Enter 00-06, 99 menu option
Enter ‘9’ to toggle the selection

8

HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.

• ‘*’ functions similar to ‘↓’ key of BT-100 phone to select the next menu option

• ‘#’ returns back to main MENU

• ‘9’ is similar to 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, it will automatically
process them

• For IP address input, ignore the dot and key in the digit directly, add 0 before

octet with less than three digits. e.g.: IP: 192.168.1.10, key in: 192 168 001 010

• 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:

• Dial the numbers directly and wait for 4 (default) seconds. This default parameter

can be adjusted in the web configuration page.

• 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 (both blind
and consultant) and call forwarding, assume that an ITSP is used.

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

or public 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 follow Section 4.1 with voice prompt 47,
followed by the 12-digit target IP address. Destination ports can also be specified using

9

HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.

*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)

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.

Currently, we do not support inter-domain IP to IP call like: [e-mail]

5.2.3

Call Waiting and Flashing

Grandstream HandyTone Series allows user to flash to the third party when in
conversation:

• Call Waiting. If there is a incoming call, user will hear a special call waiting tone

every 4 seconds, user will also notice the Call Waiting Caller ID if the analog
phone supports CWCID feature.

10

HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.

• Call Flashing. When in conversation, user can also flash to the third party by

pressing flash(or Flash Hook for old style phones) button to get a dial tone and
then dial the third party number.

5.2.4

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.

NOTES:

• Call Feature has to be set to YES in web configuration page.

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, this will be the
case. In bad network scenarios, this could also happen, although the transfer may
have been completed successfully.

5.2.5

Attended Transfer

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