3 Basic Operations
3.1 Star Commands
The star commands are used to access / control the device via the phone set connected
to the Phone port. There are two sets of Star Commands and they are for:
1. Phone Configuration
2. Phone Operation
The first digit of a star command must be “*” and the rest must be digits from 0 to 9 and
some commands require an operand. To perform a Star Command, dial the digit
sequence on the phone set with DTMF dialing. The corresponding DTMF tones are
generated and transmitted to the device.
Once the “*” code is dialed, a timeout is initiated to wait for additional valid input. If no
input before the timeout expires, the “*” code is cancelled. The default timeout during
is 5 seconds.
3.1.1 Star Commands for Phone Configuration
The available star commands for Phone Configuration are listed in the tale below.
Star(*) Command Function
*01 Generate a voice prompt on LAN Port IP
assigned. It reports “Zero” if the LAN IP is
not assigned.
*02 Generate a voice prompt on the PC Port IP
assigned. It reports “Zero” if the PC IP
Address is not assigned or bridge mode.
*03<Operand># Set LAN Port IP to <Operand>.
<Operand> = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
*04<Operand># Set PC Port IP to <Operand>.
<Operand> = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
*20 Send a remote support request.

4.3.2 Network Configuration
This page configures the network interface for LAN Port and PC Port.
LAN Port – The LAN port is intended for internet access. It is normally connected to a
network device (router or ADSL modem) which has internet access. The following 3
modes are available for selection.
1. DHCP – This mode should be selected If the network device functions as a DHCP
host, This allows the DEVICE to obtain all related network information / settings
from the DHCP host.
2. Static IP – This mode sets the LAN port IP manually which can either be a public
or private IP. Other network settings (Subnet Mask, Default Route, Primary DNS,
Secondary DNS) should also be entered accordingly.
www.vaidsys.ru
HT-842 User Manual

Release 1.2 19
3. PPPoE – This selection is intended for broadband connection (ADSL / Cable
modem) that requires dial up / authentication using PPPoE protocol. Both User
Name and Password are required. Please consult your service provider for
more information if needed. One advantage with the PPPoE dial up is that the IP
address obtained for the LAN port is normally a public IP.
More advanced parameters for 802.1q VLAN and MAC settings are available.
Please consult your network administrator for assistance if needed.
PC PORT – The PC port is intended to provide an Ethernet connection to other network
devices (for example: PC, network HUB.). Two modes of operation are available:
1. Bridge mode - This mode allows the network traffics at the PC port to be
bypassed to LAN port. This means that the network device share the same
network segment as the LAN port. There is no IP address assigned to the PC
port.
2. Fixed IP - This mode sets the PC port IP Addresss (private IP) and Subnet Mask
manually. This creates a new network segment for the network devices
connected to the PC Port.
To simplify network IP assignments, enable the DHCP Server for the PC Port.
This allows network devices connected Port to obtain network IP and related
information from the PC Port. Please consult your network administrator for
proper settings of the DHCP Server
