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
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.
