ATTENTION

Be sure to assign a unique host name (located on the UNIT settings page) for

each telephone on the network. The factory default host name in each unit is its serial number prefixed by
“GT”.

Full help is available from: www.gai-tronics.co.uk/voipsupport.htm

A CD containing all help files and the configuration file tool is available from GAI-Tronics on request.

Alternative Configuration Methods

There are three methods for configuring GAI-Tronics VoIP telephones:

• Web pages
• Configuration file
• Command Line interface (CLI)

Web pages (held within the telephone) can be accessed over the network using a browser such as Internet
Explorer™, to view and change settings within a single unit.

Configuration files are ASCII text files containing configuration options that can be read and edited by
VCONF (a dedicated software configuration tool), or directly by a knowledgeable user. The telephone
can automatically download a configuration file from the network, providing a controlled method of
configuring multiple telephones.

The telephone can also be configured using a command line interface, either via the local serial port or
remotely via a TELNET session over the network.

VCONF and the complete syntax and command structures of configuration files and the CLI are available
as free downloads from

www.gai-tronics.co.uk/voipsupport.htm

, and are also available on a CD on

request from GAI-Tronics.
