•All entered digit sequences have known lengths - 2 digits for menu option and 12 digits for IP
address. Once all digits are accumulated, the device will automatically process them
•For IP address input, omit the dot and enter the digits directly, add 0 for those octets with less
than three digits. e.g.: IP: 192.168.1.10, key in: 192168001010
•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:
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.

HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.
13
5.2.3 Call Hold
While in conversation, pressing the “FLASH” button on the attached phone will put the remote end on
hold. Pressing the “FLASH” button again will release the previously Hold party and the bi-directional
media will resume.
5.2.4 Call Waiting
If call waiting feature is enabled, while the user is in a conversation, he will hear a special stutter tone
if there is another incoming call. User can press the flash button to put the current call party on hold
and switch to the other call. Pressing flash button toggles between two active calls.
5.2.5 Call Transfer
5.2.5.1 Blind Transfer
Assuming 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. A dials *87 followed by C’s number, then #(or wait for 4 seconds)
3. A can hang up.
NOTE: “Enable Call Feature” has to be set to “Yes” in web configuration page.
A can hold on to the phone and wait for one of the three following behaviors:
•A quick confirmation tone (temporarily using the call waiting indication tone) followed by a
dial tone. This indicates the transfer is successful (transferee has received a 200 OK from
transfer target). At this point, A 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 decided 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.
5.2.5.2 Attended Transfer

HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.
14
Assuming that call party A and B are in conversation. A wants to Attend 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. A then dial C’s number followed by # (or wait for 4 seconds).
3. If C answers the call, A and C are in conversation. Then A can hang up to complete transfer.
4. If C does not answer the call, A can press “FLASH” back to talk to B.
NOTE:
•When Attended Transfer failed and A hang up, HandyTone- 486 will ring user A back again to
remind A that B is still on the call. A can pick up the phone to restore conversation with B.
5.2.6 3-way Conferencing
HandyTone-496 supports 3-way conference in two styles: star code style or Bellcore style.
5.2.6.1 Star Code Style 3-way Conference
Assuming that call party A and B are in conversation. A wants to bring C in a conference:
1. A presses FLASH (on the analog phone, or Hook Flash for old model phones) to get a dial tone.
2. A dials *23 then C’s number then # (or wait for 4 seconds).
3. If C answers the call, then A press “flash” to bring B, C in the conference.
4. If C does not answer the call, A can press “flash” back to talk to B.
5.2.6.2 Bellcore Style 3-way Conference
Bellcore style 3-way conference is also supported. To do this, user needs to enable “Use Bell-style 3-
way Conference” in FXS1 or FXS2 web configuration.
Assuming that call party A and B are in conversation. A wants to bring C in a conference:
1. A presses FLASH (on the analog phone, or Hook Flash for old model phones) to get a dial tone.
2. A dials C’s number then # (or wait for 4 seconds).
3. If C answers the call, then A press “flash” to bring B, C in the conference.
4. If C does not answer the call, A can press “flash” back to talk to B.
5.2.7 PSTN Pass Through/Life line
HandyTone-486 Rev. 2.0 supports PSTN pass through. User can send and receive PSTN calls with the
attached analog phone.
To receive PSTN calls, simply make phone off hook when the analog phone rings.

HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.
15
To make a PSTN call, press the PSTN access code (*00 by default, or any number configured in web
configuration page) to switch to PSTN line and get a dial tone, then dial the PSTN number.
When HandyTone-486 is out of power, it will function as a jack. User can use the same analog phone
for PSTN calls.

Password This field contains the password to access the Web Configuration Menu. The
password is case sensitive with a maximum of 25 characters.
Web Port This is the device’s internal HTTP server port. Default is 80.
IP Address There are 2 modes under which the HandyTone ATA can operate:
- If DHCP mode is enabled, then all the field values for the Static IP mode are
not used (even though they are still saved in the Flash memory) and the IP
phone will acquire its IP address from the first DHCP server it discovers on
the LAN it attaches to.
To use PPPoE feature please set the PPPoE account settings if the HandyTone
ATA is connected directly to a DSL modem. The HandyTone ATA will
attempt to establish a PPPoE session if any of the PPPoE fields are set.
- If Static IP mode is selected, then the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default
Router IP address, DNS Server 1 (primary), DNS Server 2 (secondary) fields
will need to be configured. These fields are set to zero by default.
DHCP hostname This option specifies the name of the client. This field is optional but may be
required by some Internet Service Providers. Default is blank.

hostnames via the Domain Name System. Default is blank.

Time Zone This parameters decides how the displayed date/time will be adjusted
according to the specified time zone.
Daylight Savings
Time This parameter controls whether the displayed time will be daylight savings
time or not. If set to “Yes” and the Optional Rule is empty, then the displayed
time will be 1 hour ahead of normal time.
The “Automatic Daylight Saving Time Rule” shall have the following syntax:
start-time;end-time;saving
Both start-time and end-time have the same syntax:
month,day,weekday,hour,minute
month: 1,2,3,..,12 (for Jan, Feb, .., Dec)
day: [+|-]1,2,3,..,31
weekday: 1, 2, 3, .., 7 (for Mon, Tue, .., Sun), or 0 which means the daylight
saving rule is not based on week days but based on the day of the month.
hour: hour (0-23),
minute: minute (0-59)
If “weekday” is 0, it means the date to start or end daylight saving is at
exactly the given date. In that case, the “day” value must not be negative. If
“weekday” is not zero and “day” is positive, then the daylight saving starts on
the first “day”th iteration of the weekday (1st Sunday, 3rd Tuesday etc). If
“weekday” us not zero and “day” is negative, then the daylight saving starts
on the last “day”th iteration of the weekday (last Sunday, 3rd last Tuesday
etc).
The saving is in the unit of minutes. The saving time may also be preceded by
a negative (-) sign if subtraction is desired instead of addition.
The default value for “Automatic Daylight Saving Time Rule” shall be set to
“04,01,7,02,00;10,-1,7,02,00;60” which is the rule for US.
Examples
US/Canada where daylight saving time is applicable:
04,01,7,02,00;10,-1,7,02,00;60
This means the daylight saving time starts from the first Sunday of April at
2AM and ends the last Sunday of October at 2AM. The saving is 60 minutes
(1hour).
PSTN Access Code Default is “*00”. User can switch the phone to PSTN line connected to the
Line port of ATA and make outgoing calls.
Device Mode Default is NAT router mode. HandyTone-486 Rev.2.0 can be configured in
Bridge mode so the device functions as a bridge.
WAN Side HTTP
Access Default is “No”. The access to configuration page via WAN port is disabled.
This setting has no effect if the device is in Bridge mode.
