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 number directly and wait for 4 (default) seconds.
b) 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, and call-
forwarding.
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 other VoIP Device(i.e., another HandyTone ATA or other
HandyTone ATA) have public IP addresses, or
• both HandyTone ATA and other VoIP Device(i.e., another HandyTone ATA or other
HandyTone ATA) are on the same LAN using private or public IP addresses, or
• Both HandyTone ATA and other VoIP Device(i.e., another HandyTone ATA or other
HandyTone ATA) 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, then follow Section 4.1 with voice prompt 47, followed by the 12-digit target IP
address. Destination ports can also be specified using *4 (encoding for “:”) followed by the
encoded port number. Following is a table of the encoding scheme for the most commonly
used characters:

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.
5.2.3 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 waits for dial tone and then hangs up. If a busy tone is received the transfer did not
succeed.
Note: Call Feature has to be set to YES.
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 (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.
5.2.4 Attended Transfer
Assume that call party A and B are in conversation. A wants to Attend Transfer B to C:
10
HandyTone-486 User Manual
Grandstream Networks, Inc.
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 then # (or wait for 4 seconds), A and C now in conversation.
3. Then A can hang up.
Note: When intended Transfer failed, if A hangs up, the HandyTone 486 will ring user A
again to remind A that B is still on the call, by pressing FLASH or Hook again will restore
conversation between A and B.
5.2.5 Send and Receive PSTN Calls Through PSTN Line Port
Starting with HandyTone 486 Rev 2.0, user will be able to send and receive calls from PSTN.
To receive PSTN calls, simply make phone off hook when the analog phone rings. To make
a PSTN call, simply press *00 to get the PSTN line dial tone and dial the PSTN number.

HandyTone-486 User Manual
Grandstream Networks, Inc.
Preferred Vocoder
The HandyTone ATA supports up to 6 different vocoder types including G.711 A-/U-
law，G.723.1, G.726, G.728, G.729A/B, iLBC. Depending on the product model,
some of these vocoders may not be provided in standard release.
A user can configure vocoders in a preference list that will be included with the same
preference order in SDP message. The first vocoder in this list can be entered by
choosing the appropriate option in “Choice 1”. Similarly, the last vocoder in this list can
be entered by choosing the appropriate option in “Choice 6”.
G723 Rate:
This defines the encoding rate for G723 vocoder. By default, 6.3kbps rate is chosen.
This sets the iLBC size in 20ms or 30ms
iLBC frame size:
iLBC payload type:
This defines payload time for iLBC. Default value is 98. The valid range is between 96
and 127.
Silence Suppression This controls the silence suppression/VAD feature of G723 and G729. If set to “Yes”,
when a silence is detected, small quantity of VAD packets (instead of audio packets)
will be sent during the period of no talking. If set to “No”, this feature is disabled.
Voice Frames per TX This field contains the number of voice frames to be 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 vocoder in the above vocoder Preference List or the actual
used payload type negotiated between the 2 conversation parties at run time.
e.g., if the first vocoder 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 vocoder 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 vocoder choice. The maximum value for PCM is 10(x10ms) frames; for G726, it is
20 (x10ms) frames; for G723, it is 32 (x30ms) frames; for G729/G728, 64 (x10ms) and
64 (x2.5ms) frames respectively.
Layer 3 QoS
Layer 2 QoS
Use DNS SRV:
This field defines the layer 3 QoS parameter which can be the value used for IP
Precedence or Diff-Serv or MPLS. Default value is 48.
This contains the value used for layer 2 VLAN tag. Default setting is
blank.
Default is No. If set to Yes the client will use DNS SRV to lookup for the server
User ID is Phone
Number
If the HandyTone ATA has an assigned PSTN telephone number,
then this field will be set to “Yes”. Otherwise, set it to “No”. If
“Yes” is set, a “user=phone” parameter will be attached to the
“From” header in SIP request
SIP Registration
This parameter controls whether the HandyTone ATA needs to send REGISTER
messages to the proxy server. The default setting is “Yes”.
Unregister on Reboot Default is No. If set to yes, the SIP user will be unregistered on reboot.

HandyTone-486 User Manual
Grandstream Networks, Inc.
Register Expiration
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).
Early Dial
Default is No. Use only if proxy supports 484 response
Sets the prefix added to each dialed number
Dial Plan Prefix
No Key Entry timeout Default is 4 seconds.
Use # as
This parameter allows the user to configure the “#” key to be used as the “Send”(or
Send Key
“Dial”) key. Once set to “Yes”, pressing this key will immediately trigger the sending of
dialed string collected so far. In this case, this key is essentially equivalent to the
“(Re)Dial” key. If set to “No”, this # key will then be included as part of the dial string to
be sent out.
Local SIP port
Local RTP port
This parameter defines the local SIP port the HandyTone ATA will listen and transmit.
The default value is 5060.
This parameter defines the local RTP-RTCP port pair the HandyTone ATA will listen
and transmit. 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 Random Port
NAT Traversal
This parameter, when set to Yes, will force random generation of both the local SIP
and RTP ports. This is usually necessary when multiple HandyTone ATAs are behind
the same NAT.
This parameter defines whether the HandyTone ATA NAT traversal mechanism will be
activated or not. If activated (by choosing “Yes”) and a STUN server is also specified,
then the HandyTone ATA will behave according to the STUN client specification.
Under this mode, the embedded STUN client inside the HandyTone ATA will attempt
to detect if and what type of firewall/NAT it is behind through communication with the
specified STUN server. If the detected NAT is a Full Cone, Restricted Cone, or a Port-
Restricted Cone, the HandyTone ATA will attempt to use its mapped public IP address
and port in all the SIP and SDP messages it sends out.
If this field is set to “Yes” with no specified STUN server, then the HandyTone ATA will
periodically (every 10 seconds or so) send a blank UDP packet (with no payload data)
to the SIP server to keep the “hole” on the NAT open.
Use NAT IP:
Proxy-Require
TFTP Server
NAT IP address used in SIP/SDP message. Default is blank.
SIP Extension to notify SIP server that the unit is behind the NAT/Firewall.
This is the IP address of the configured TFTP server. If it is non-zero or not blank, the
HandyTone ATA will attempt to retrieve new configuration file or new code image from
the specified TFTP server at boot time. It will make up to 3 attempts before timeout
and then it will start the boot process using the existing code image in the Flash
memory. If a TFTP server is configured and a new code image is retrieved, the new
downloaded image will be verified and then saved into the Flash memory.
HTTP Upgrade Server The URL for the HTTP server used for firmware upgrade and configuration via HTTP.
Here “:6688” is the specific TCP port that the HTTP server is listening at, it can be
omitted if using default port 80.
Note: Auto Upgrade has to be set to Yes to enable HTTP upgrade.
22
HandyTone-486 User Manual
Grandstream Networks, Inc.
Auto Upgrade
Choose Yes to enable HTTP upgrade and provisioning.
In “Check for new firmware every” field, enter the number of days to check the HTTP
server for firmware upgrade or configuration.
Subscribe for MWI:
Default is NO. When set to Yes a SUBSCRIBE for Message Waiting Indication will be
sent periodically.
Offhook
Auto-Dial
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.
Enable Call Features Default is No. If set to Yes, Call Forwarding & Do-Not-Disturb are supported locally
Disable Call Waiting
Send DTMF
Default is No.
This parameter controls the way DTMF events are transmitted. There are 3 ways: 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.
DTMF Payload Type
Send Flash Event
This parameter sets the payload type for DTMF using RFC2833
This parameter allows a user to control whether to send an SIP NOTIFY message
indicating the Flash event, or just to switch to the voice channel when the user presses
the Flash key.
FXS Impedance
NTP server
Selects the impedance of the analog telephone connected to the Phone port.
This parameter defines the URI or IP address of the NTP server which the HandyTone
ATA will use to display the current date/time.
Send Anonymous
If this parameter is set to “Yes”, the “From” header in outgoing INVITE message will be
set to anonymous, essentially blocking the Caller ID from displaying.
Lock keypad update
If this parameter is set to “Yes”, the configuration update via keypad is disabled.
WAN side http
access
If this parameter is set to “No”, the HTML configuration update via WAN port is
disabled.

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
files, there are two configuration files, one is “cfg.txt” and the other is “cfg000b82xxxxxx”,
where “000b82xxxxxx” is the MAC address of the HandyTone ATA. For more information
regarding configuration file format, please refer to the related Grandstream documentation.
The configuration file can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP from the central server. A
service provider or an enterprise with large deployment of HandyTone ATAs can easily
manage the configuration and service provisioning of individual devices remotely and
automatically from a central server. 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 provides a licensed provisioning system called GAPS that can be used to
support automated configuration of HandyTone ATA. To enable this feature on the
HandyTone ATA, a user just needs to enter the IP address of the GAPS server in the TFTP
server field of the configuration screen, or enter the HTTP provisioning Server URL in the
HTTP Upgrade Server field. Then reboot the HandyTone ATA.
For details on how GAPS works, please refer to the documentation of GAPS product.

7 Software Upgrade
7.1 Upgrade through HTTP
To upgrade software, HandyTone ATAs can be configured with an HTTP server where the
new code image file is located. For example, following URL in the HTTP Upgrade Server:
Here, firmware.mycompany.com is the FQDN of the HTTP server, “:6688” is the TCP port
the HTTP server listening to, “/Grandstream/1.0.5.16” is the RELATIVE directory to the root
dir in HTTP server. Thus, you can put different firmware into different directory as well.
Note: To enable HTTP firmware upgrade, “Auto Upgrade” field has to be set to Yes. In
addition, the ATA will check the HTTP server in the number of days that is defined in “Check
for new firmware every” field.
7.2 Upgrade through TFTP
To upgrade software, HandyTone ATAs can be configured with a TFTP server where the new
code image is located. The TFTP upgrade can work in either static IP or DHCP mode using
private or public IP address. It is recommended to set the TFTP server address in either a
public IP address or on the same LAN with the HandyTone ATA.
There are two ways to set up the TFTP server to upgrade the firmware, namely through voice
menu prompt or via the HandyTone ATA’s Web configuration interface. To configure the
TFTP server via voice prompt, follow section 5.1 with option 06, once set up the TFTP IP
address, power cycle the ATA, the firmware will be fetched once the ATA boots up.
To configure the TFTP server via the Web configuration interface, open up your browser to
point at the IP address of the HandyTone ATA. Input the admin password to enter the
configuration screen. From there, enter the TFTP server address in the designated field
towards the bottom of the configuration screen.
Once the TFTP server is configured, power cycle the HandyTone ATA.
TFTP checking is only performed during the initial power up. If the configured TFTP 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
fails for any reason (e.g., TFTP 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
process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.
TFTP may take as long as 1 to 2 minutes over Internet, or just 20+ seconds if it is performed
on a LAN. It is generally recommended to conduct TFTP upgrade in a controlled LAN

environment if possible. For users who do not have local TFTP server, Grandstream provides
a NAT-friendly TFTP server on the public Internet for users to download the latest firmware
upgrade automatically. Please check the Service or Support section of Grandstream’s Web
site to obtain this TFTP server IP address.

8 Restore Factory Default Setting
Warning: Restore the Factory Default Setting will delete all configuration information of
the device.
Step one: Find the MAC Address of the device. The MAC address of the device is located on
the bottom of the device. It is a 12 digits number.
Step two: Encode the MAC address. The encode rule is:
“2” is the first letter on the button “2” so its encoding is “2”.
“A” is the second letter on button “2” so its encoding is “22”.
“B” is the third letter on button “2” and its encoding is “222”.
“C” is the fourth letter on button “2” and its encoding is “2222”.
For example, for MAC address 000b8200e395, the
user should encode it as “0002228200333395”.
Step three: Access the voice menu, then dial “99” and get the voice prompt “RESET”
Step four: Dial in the encoded MAC address. Once the correct encoded MAC address is
dialed in, the device will reboot automatically and restore the factory default setting.
