IRECT IP CALLS
Direct IP calling allows two parties with VoIP devices (e.g. HT496 and another VoIP Device), to talk to
each other in an ad hoc fashion without a SIP proxy. Direct IP calls are possible if:
a) Both VoIP devices use a public IP address; or
b) Both VoIP devices are on the same LAN using private IP addresses, or
c) Both VoIP devices can be connected through a router using public or private IP addresses (with
necessary port forwarding or DMZ).
To make a Direct IP Call, use either the handset or the speakerphone. Access the IVR using “***”, the
button on the HT496or “47”. After dial tone, enter a 12-digit target IP address to place a call. Destination
ports can be specified by using “*4” (encoding for “:”) followed by the port number.
Examples:
a) If the target IP address is 192.168.0.160, enter the 12 digit IP address (e.g. 1921680160) after
the voice prompt followed by the “#” key or wait for 4 seconds. The default destination port 5060
is used if no port is specified.
b) If the target IP address/port is 192.168.1.20:5062
, enter the 12 digit IP address + *45062 (e.g.
1921680160*45062) after the voice prompt followed by the “#” key or wait for 4 seconds.
CALL HOLD
Press the “flash” button to place a caller on hold. Press the “flash” button again to release call hold.
CALL WAITING
If call waiting feature is enabled, call waiting tone (3 short beeps) indicates an incoming call. Toggle
between incoming call and current call by pressing the “flash” button. First call is placed on hold. Press
the “flash” button to toggle between two active calls.
CALL TRANSFER
The HT496 supports both blind and attended transfer:
1. Blind Transfer: Press “flash” button (or hook flash on older models), dial *87, then dial the
number to transfer call and press the “#” key (or wait 4 seconds) to complete transfer of active
