5.2 Make Phone Calls
5.2.1 Calling phone or extension numbers
There are currently two methods to make a 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 2 phones, that is, a HandyTone with a 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 calling, 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. If there is a user part, again follow Section 4.1 with voice prompt 47, and then the
encoded user part, followed by *3 (encoding for “@”) and then followed by the 12-digit target
IP address. Destination ports can also be specified using *4 (encoding for “:”) followed by the
encoded port number.
