Confidentiality Notice
This manual is provided solely as an installation, operation, and maintenance guide and contains sensitive
business and technical information that is confidential and proprietary to GAI-Tronics. GAI-Tronics
retains all intellectual property and other rights in or to the information contained herein, and such
information may only be used in connection with the operation of your GAI-Tronics product or system.
This manual may not be disclosed in any form, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to any third
party.
Product Overview
GAI-Tronics’ autodial handset VoIP telephones connect to a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network. These
telephones operate from Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or an external power source. VoIP telephones
provide direct point-to-point communications between personnel throughout a facility over an existing
LAN.
Features and Functions
The VoIP Telephones covered in this manual include the following features:
•SIP compatible (RFC3261)
•weather and/or vandal-resistant
•real-time alarm reporting via SNMP, syslog, or TMA software
•PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) compatible
•configurable via web page, serial link, or download
•four auxiliary inputs
•two dry-contact outputs
System Requirements and Limitations
These VoIP telephones require PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) or a local 24 to 48-volt dc power source for
operation. Two VoIP telephones can communicate in a peer-to-peer configuration without the need for a
LAN. A 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network with a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) server is required for
systems containing three or more VoIP telephones. Conferences are limited by the customer’s LAN
media capabilities and the services available at each end point.

VoIP Subscriber Tips
New and existing subscriptions to an interconnected VoIP service provider should address the following
points:
•Provide accurate physical address information to the VoIP service provider to ensure that emergency
services can quickly be dispatched to the location.
•Be familiar with the VoIP service provider’s procedures for updating the address and promptly update
address information in the event of a change.
•Have a clear understanding of any limitations of the local 911 service.
•Be aware that VoIP telephone services may not work if the power is out or the Internet connection is
down. Consider installing a backup power supply, maintaining a traditional telephone line, or having
a wireless telephone as a backup.
•For questions about interconnected VoIP and 911, or VoIP in general, see
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/voip.html.
Operation
Handset Receiver Volume Control
A push-button switch, located on the front panel, enables adjustment of the handset receiver volume.
Press the volume control push-button to decrease the volume gain from 20 dB to 12 dB, to 0 dB, and back
up to 20 dB of the original signal. The signal gain is automatically set to 20 dB after the end of each call.

The programmed number is automatically dialed after approximately one second.
2. Control the handset receiver volume by pressing the volume control pushbutton.
3. The call is terminated by placing handset back in the cradle, the receiving caller hangs up, the defined
timeout of the call duration is exceeded, or via the SIP server.
Receive a Call

answer the call and carry on a conversation.
Installation
General Information
WARNING
—This product can contain hazardous voltages. Always remove power to this
station and any associated equipment before beginning any installation.
CAUTION
—Do not install this equipment in areas other than those indicated on the approval
listing in the Approvals section of this manual. Such installation may cause a
safety hazard and consequent injury or property damage.
Install equipment without modification and according to all applicable local and national electrical codes.
Consult the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), Canadian Standards Association (CSA 22.1), and local
codes for specific requirements regarding your installation. Class 2 circuit wiring must be performed in
accordance with the NEC.
Safety Guidelines
When installing any GAI-Tronics equipment, please adhere to the following guidelines to ensure the
safety of all personnel:
•Do not install wiring during a lightning storm.
•Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: GAI-Tronics’ VoIP telephones may have an earth
ground terminal provision. Connect this terminal to ground in accordance with all local safety
regulations and the NEC (National Electrical Code). Grounding must be ensured for safe and stable
communications. Do not use long and coiled ground wires. Trim ground wires to the required
length. Use a star configuration whenever possible. Please note proper grounding does not eliminate
the need for lightning protection for the telephone or the telephone system. A Cat5 data line lightning
surge protector is recommended for telephones subject to any electrostatic discharge (e.g. lightning).
•Do not install jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

Security Hardware
Models 210-712BH/-712BHAC, 227-710, and 277-712BH/-712BHAC are vandal-resistant. The front
enclosure or panel of these telephones is attached to its mounting plate or enclosure with security screws.
A GAI-Tronics Model 233-001 Security Screwdriver or Torx T-25 security head tip (sold separately) is
required to install the security screws. The front panels of the Model 247-710 and 257-710 telephones are
attached with standard Phillips head screws.
Conduit Installation Details (Applicable to Models 247-710 and 257-
710)
GAI-Tronics recommends installing cabling in conduit to protect against accidental damage and
vandalism. The following points are strongly recommended to prevent moisture from entering the
enclosure:
•Conduit should enter the enclosure from the bottom.
•If entered from the top, the conduit must be internally sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
•Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points.
•Silicone sealant or equivalent must be applied around and inside all conduit entries.
Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
