1. Introduction
This guide provides information on the operation and configuration of GAI-Tronics' range of
rugged VoIP telephones with firmware version 3, released in January 2012.
There are significant changes to some of the web pages and commands from those in
previous versions. Issue 1 and issue 2 of this manual will remain available on the GAI-
Tronics UK website (
www.gai-tronics.co.uk/voipsupport.htm ) as a reference for earlier
versions.
The firmware version of each unit is displayed at the bottom of its home web page, and as
part of the welcome message following login via a Telnet or serial connection.
In each case the firmware version is a series of 3 numbers separated by dots (periods). The
main firmware version is the first number. For example:
1.2.13 indicates firmware version 1
2.1.6 indicates firmware version 2.
3.0.0 indicates firmware version 3.
Upgrading to the latest version is possible in most circumstances, but please note that certain
new features may not be enabled on upgraded phones - contact GAI-Tronics for details.
GAI-Tronics VoIP telephones are available in a variety of model styles, including handset and
hands-free models, but the programming and configuration methods are common to all.
Please note that the features may depend on the model type, and that therefore this guide
may describe features not available on the particular model being configured.
Features of the GAI-Tronics range of VoIP telephones include:
• SIP compatible (RFC3261) only
• Registration with multiple SIP proxies (new in v2)
• Configurable via web pages, serial link or downloading a configuration file
• Outgoing cascading call lists
• Real-time alarm reporting via email or Syslog
• 4 auxiliary inputs, 2 volt-free contact outputs (revised in v2)
• Remote operation of contacts ("door opening" function)
• 3 “autoanswer” modes, including paging mode (revised in v2)
• Compatible with GAI-Tronics' Call Management Application (CMA)
This guide does not include information on:
• Installation, cabling and connections (see guide 502-20-0115-001 for non ATEX
phones and 502-20-0133-001 for Auteldac4 VoIP)
• Setting up, configuring and operating a network for VoIP. Please ensure that the
network is configured to allow VoIP communications (using the SIP protocol) between
the desired locations before attempting to configure GAI-Tronics telephones.
2. What's new ?
2.1 New in Version 3
Version 3 added the following features from version 2:
Acoustic Path Testing (APT)
APT allows remote testing of handsets, microphones and speakers. APT can be used to
verify that a phone is functioning acoustically. The test can be run on demand or on a
scheduled basis, reporting its results via Syslog and / or email. See section 5.5.1.
Multicast
(Only applicable to hands-free products). Multicast allows a single audio stream to be
received by multiple endpoints simultaneously, to achieve multi-point paging or Public
Address functionality over IP. (Requires a multicast compliant SIP server). 8 definable
multicast address ranges, with individual priority levels, for zoning. Assignable relay outputs
and splash tones. See section 5.18.
