Product Overview
RED ALERT®Hands-free VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephones connect to a 10/100 BaseT
Ethernet network. These telephones operate from PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) or an external 24 to 48-volt
dc power source. VoIP telephones provide direct point-to-point communication between personnel over
an existing LAN and can also be utilized for multicast broadcasts. All models have a 3R (rainproof)
weatherproof rating.
RED ALERT VoIP telephones feature real-time alarm reporting. System supervisors monitor each
telephone’s activity and address caller needs or maintenance issues immediately. The telephones have
four user-configurable inputs and two outputs for customer use.
Features and Functions
RED ALERT VoIP (Voice-over-Internet Protocol) hands-free telephones include the following features:
•SIP compatible (RFC3261)
•automatic call diversion (memory list)
•weather and 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
•multicast capability, up to eight addresses
•ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant
Table 1 lists the RED ALERT VoIP telephones detailed in this manual:

System Requirements and Limitations
RED ALERT VoIP telephones require PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) or a local 24 to 48-volt dc power
source for operation. Two VoIP telephones can be connected 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.
These telephones also receive multicast broadcasts. A multicast audio stream is sent to multiple end
points simultaneously to achieve multi-point paging or public address functionality over IP. Multicast
requires the use of a SIP server that specifically supports multicast functionality and each telephone must
be configured (enabled) to receive multicast packets.

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.

Receive a Call
RED ALERT VoIP emergency telephones automatically go off-hook (auto-answer) when called. A
conversation can then take place.
Multicast Broadcast
When making a multicast call, the SIP server sends the page request to a specific IP address and multiple
telephones accept and play the subsequent audio. GAI-Tronics’VoIP telephones can be programmed for
up to eight multicast addresses to permit the receipt of multicast broadcasts from different sources or to
enable zoning of broadcasts. Each multicast address can be assigned a priority (via programming) to
define broadcast override. A telephone with multicast enabled can still make and receive normal calls
(peer-to-peer or SIP server). Normal calls can be assigned a priority level, defining whether calls can
override multicasts or vice versa.
Monitoring and Reporting
Each telephone can recognize and generate several hardware and configuration fault condition alarms.
These alarms can be signaled to a remote site using three methods:
•Syslog output over TCP
•SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
•TMA (Telephone Management Application) software (purchased separately)
NOTE:The TMA software permits system monitoring and data collection/reporting from a central
location.
Available alarms are:
•handset integrity loop (if applicable)
•configuration error
•cold reset (power cycle)

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: VoIP telephones may have an earth ground terminal
provision. If so, ensure that it is connected to ground in accordance with all local safety regulations
and the National Electrical Code (NEC). 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 category 5 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.
Station Placement
Consider station placement and volume levels to prevent feedback problems in the system. To reduce
unpleasant feedback problems:
•point each telephone away from other nearby telephones
•reduce the volume levels
Security Hardware
The telephones described in this manual are vandal resistant. The front panel of each telephone covered
in this manual is attached to its 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 telephone.

Conduit Installation Details (Surface-Mount Models)
GAI-Tronics recommends installing Ethernet and power lines in conduit to protect against accidental
damage and vandalism. To prevent moisture from entering the enclosure, the following is recommended:
• Conduit should enter the enclosure from the bottom.
• Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points.
• Silicone sealant or equivalent should be applied around and inside all conduit entries.
Please refer to the examples below for the recommended conduit installation details.
