HandyTone-488 has one FXS port and one FXO port. The PHONE port next to the LAN port is a
FXS port. The LINE port on the side of the HandyTone-488 is a FXO port. Both the FXS port and the
FXO port can have a separate SIP account. This is a key feature of HandyTone-488. Telephone calls
can be originated from or terminated to the PSTN network via FXO port.

Following are the steps to install a HandyTone-488:

1. Connect a standard touch-tone analog telephone to the PHONE port.

2. Insert a standard RJ11 telephone cable into the LINE port and connect the other end of the

telephone cable to a wall jack.

5.2 Make Phone Calls

5.2.1 Calling phone or extension numbers

To make a phone or extension number call:

a) Dial the number directly and wait for 4 seconds (default “No Key Entry Timeout”). Or
b) Dial the number 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 call-forward.

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 the other VoIP device (i.e., another HandyTone ATA or other SIP

products) have public IP addresses, or

• Both HandyTone ATA and the other VoIP device (i.e., another HandyTone ATA or other SIP

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

• Both HandyTone ATA and the other VoIP device (i.e., another HandyTone ATA or other SIP

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

To make a direct IP call, first pick up the analog phone or turn on the speakerphone on the analog
phone, follow Section 5.1 with voice prompt 47, followed by the 12-digit target IP address. Destination
ports can be specified by using “*4” (encoding for “:”) followed by the encoded port number.
Following is a table of the encoding scheme for the most commonly used characters:
