CHAPTER 1

Introduction

1.1 Overview

This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the V500 Series. It also introduces the ways you can manage your device.
" The V500 Series includes the V500-T1 and the V501-T1. Illustrations used
throughout this book are based on the V500-T1.
The V500 is an IP phone that allows you to make phone calls over the Internet. Sending voice signals over the Internet is called Voice over IP (VoIP). VoIP allows you to call other IP phones, mobile phones or landlines all over the world.
The V500 is packed with features - including multiple phone lines, multiple SIP accounts, phonebook, conference calls, call transfer, call hold, and many more.
You can configure and manage the V500 directly, using its multi-function keypad and LCD screen. Alternatively, access the internal web configurator using a computer connected to the network for remote administrative configuration.
The V500’s Ethernet ports allow you to connect it to your Local Area Network (LAN) and your computer. Your computer can access the LAN through the V500, as shown in the following figure. A is your computer, B is your V500 and C is your modem or router.

V500 IP phone. V501 IP phone with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability.

1.2 Applications

Here are some examples of how you can use your V500.

1.2.1 Make Calls via Internet Telephony Service Provider

In a home or small office environment, you can use the V500 to make and receive VoIP telephone calls through an Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP).
The following figure shows a basic example of how you make a VoIP call through an ITSP. In this example, you make a call from your V500 (A in the figure), which sends the call through your modem or router (B) to the Internet and the ITSP’s SIP server (C). The VoIP call server forwards calls to PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) phones through a trunking gateway (D) to phones on the PSTN network (E). The VoIP call server also forwards calls to IP phones (F) through the Internet.

1.2.2 Make Calls via IP-PBX

If your company has an IP-PBX (Internet Protocol Private Branch Exchange), you can use the V500 to make and receive VoIP telephone calls through it.
In this example, you make a call from your V500 (A in the figure), which sends it to the IP­PBX. The IP-PBX forwards calls to PSTN phones (B) on the PSTN network. The IP-PBX also forwards calls to IP phones (C) through an IP network (this could include the Internet).

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.2.3 Make Peer-to-peer Calls

Use the V500 to make a call to the recipient’s IP address wi thou t usi ng a SIP server. Peer-to­peer calls are also called “Point to Point” or “IP-to-IP” calls. You must know the peer’s IP address in order to do this.
The following figure shows a basic example of how you would make a peer-to-peer VoIP call. You make a call on your V500 (A), which sends your call through your modem or router (B) and the Internet to the peer VoIP device (C).

1.3 Ways to Manage the V500

Use any of the following methods to manage the V500.
• Hardware keys. Use the control keys and LCD menus on the V500 for basic configuration.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the V500 using a (supported) web browser.
• FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.
• SPTGEN. SPTGEN is a text configuration file that you can edit and upload to the device. This is especially convenient if you need to configure many devices of the same type.

1.4 Good Habits for Managing the V500

Do the following things regularly to make the V500 more secure and to manage the V500 more effectively.
• Change the web configurator password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Keep the V500 in a safe place. The LCD menus are not password-protected, so anyone using the phone can access your phonebook, SIP account information, etc.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the V500 to its factory default settings to access the web configurator. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the V500. You could simply restore your last configuration.

Tutorials

3.1 Overview

These tutorials show you how to perform numerous functions of the V500. Even though they make certain basic assumptions that may not match your actual configuration environment, the foundation provided here should be sufficient to get you up and running as quickly as possible.
" For complete information on how to work with the LCD menu screens, see
Chapter 4 on page 61.
To get your V500 operational, you must:
• Set up a network connection (Section 3.2 on page 45)
• Set up a connection to your VoIP service provider (Section 3.3 on page 47)

3.2 Setting Up a Network Connection

The V500 is an IP phone. As such, you need to have an active network connection for it to work. This allows it to connect to a voice server.
To establish a network connection:

3.3 Configuring VoIP Options Automatically

Once you have established a network connection, the next thing you must do is configure the V500 so that it can connect to a voice server. If your voice server uses auto provisioning, then that server can automatically upload all the required VoIP configuration data directly to your phone; all that is required on your end is entering the correct information as provided by your network administrator or service provider.
To configure your phone automatically:
Chapter 3 Tutorials
1 Open the
MENU > Advanced > Auto Provision screen. (You may be prompted to enter
the administrator password. The default is “1234”.)
2 Set up the appropriate options for your auto provisioning server. (These settings should
be provided by your network administrator or service provider.)

3.3.1 Configuring VoIP Options Manually

If your phone network does not use or support automatic configuration through auto provisioning, then you must configure the V500’s voice server settings yourself.
The essential settings you need to establish a VoIP connection are:

3.4 Placing a Call

Placing a phone call on your V500 is as easy as with any other phone, although you have a greater variety of options available to you with this one. First and foremost you can have up to 4 separate phone lines with their own VoIP numbers all on the same unit so choosing which line to use may seem like a daunting task (it’s not, but if this is your first experience with the V500 it is easy to understand how it could be).
To place a call with the V500:
1 Ensure that your phone is already set up properly. If it is, your phone number appears on
the right hand side of the LCD screen. If you have multiple VoIP accounts configured for your V500, then the currently selected account is highlighted by a black bar.
2 Press the Account Key that corresponds to the phone number you want to use to dial
out. If you only have one VoIP account set up then you can skip this step as that account is always chosen automatically by default.
50
3 The speaker activates, presenting you with a dial tone. Simply enter the number of the
phone you want to call and talk into the microphone. If you need privacy, you can lift the handset at any time to talk directly into it.

3.4.1 Receiving an Incoming Call on a 2nd Line

Now that you know how to place calls, we’re going to show you how to retrieve an incoming call on a second VoIP number if you’re already talking on a first one. For example, let’s say you’re talking to Jasmine on Line 1 (using VoIP account ‘1001’, from our previous examples) and Sebastian calls in on Line 2 (or VoIP account ‘1002’).
To recieve an incoming call on a different line:
1 While talking on Line 1, your LCD menu screen shows your current call status.
Here, Line 1 From indicates you’re currently talking to the Jasmine.
Chapter 3 Tutorials
2 When a new call comes in on a different line while you’re in the middle of the first call,
the V500 notifies you on screen by displaying Ringing in the lower right corner.
The first available Line key also starts blinking; in this case, it is Line 2 because Line 1 is already being used to speak with Jasmine.

3.5 Making a Conference Call

A conference call consists of three connected phones (including yours) participating in the same conversion simultaneously.
To make a conference call:
1 Dial the number of the first person in your conference call. 2 When your party answers, press the
Chapter 3 Tutorials
CONFERENCE button.
3 The V500 puts the first party on hold and prompts you to select a line number.
3:30 2008-11-21 Line 1 To: Hold 1001 Jasmine 00:01:01 1002
Unused
Unused
Choose a Line:2(I) : 3(I) : 4(I)
Use the Line Number keys beneath the V500’s LCD to make your line selection. Since Line 1 is currently connected to Jasmine, select Line 2 as it is free.
4 Next, dial the third party’s number.
V500 Series User’s Guide
53
Page 54
Chapter 3 Tutorials
5 When they answer, press the the CONFERENCE button again to begin the three way
conference call. Your V500 LCD screen should look similar to this:
3:30 2008-11-21 Line 1 To: 1001 Jasmine 00:03:10 Line 2 To: 1002 Sebastian 00:02:34 Unused
Unused
The end result is that the call to Jasmine goes out on Line 1 (or number 1001) while the call to Sebastian goes out on Line 2 (or number 1002). Both calls are routed through the voice server and both calls are connected simultaneously. In other words, all three parties can communicate with one another at the same time. .

4.4 Working with the LCD Menus

Once you are familiar with the navigation and keypads, it is actually quite easy to move about within the LCD menu system. As described in previous sections, the navigation pad gives you the freedom to open menus and make menu selections while the keypad allows you to configure the specific features that require your direct input.
For example, to activate your V500’s DHCP setting, you would:
1 Press the MENU key to open the Menu Setting screen. 2 Press 6 on your phone’s keypad to open the Advanced Setting menu.
If you use the navigator to highlight option 6 instead, then you must pr ess Select to actually open the menu.
3 Press 1 to open the Network Setting menu. 4 Press 3 to select the DHCP option, and then press On or Off to toggle it.

Throughout this manual, whenever a menu item is designated for configuration the option is listed in the following format: MENU > Path > Option.
For instance, to set the DHCP status of your phone (continuing with the example from the previous section) the menu item for the configuration option would be displayed as:
MENU > Advanced Setting > Network Setting > DHCP (Off).

4.4.2 Entering Numbers, Letters and Symbols

When you enter information into the V500 (when setting up a phonebook entry, for example) you may need to enter different kinds of characters. The alphanumeric keypad has four input modes:
• Number mode
• Uppercase mode
• Lowercase mode
• Symbol mode
Use the # key to cycle between modes.
" Not all modes are available in all screens.
When you press a key to enter a character, wait a short time until the cursor moves on to the next space. Press a key multiple times to access the different characters. For example, in Uppercase mode press 9 four times to enter “Z”.
The following table shows the numbers, letters and symbols you can enter.

Some of the features on the V500 must be enabled before they can be used or, in some cases, configured. These features display on the LCD screen with (On) or (Off) next to their names, indicating their current status.
When you need to enable a feature, this is indicated in the text. For example “Enable and select Advanced Setting > Auto Provision” means to do the following:
