All of the listed VoIP Telephones, except for Models 297-702, 297-703 and 298-701 comply with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Each phone includes a Braille tag for vision-impaired
individuals to identify the functions of the telephone and a visual indication for hearing-impaired
individuals indicating that an emergency call has been answered.
The GAI-Tronics VoIP Phone product line provides the flexibility to address a diverse range of
applications. A wide variety of functions can be achieved by altering the configuration data stored in the
phone’s non-volatile memory. The telephone configuration options include:
• Web pages
• Configuration file
• Command Line Interface (CLI)
System Requirements and Limitations
Each VoIP Telephone requires Power-over-Ethernet or a local 48 V dc power source for operation. Two
VoIP telephones can be connected in a peer-to-peer configuration without the need for a LAN. However,
a 10/100 baseT Ethernet with SIP 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.
Tips for VoIP Subscribers
If you have or are thinking of subscribing to an interconnected VoIP service, you should:
• Provide your accurate physical address to your interconnected VoIP service provider to ensure that
emergency services can quickly be dispatched to your location.
• Be familiar with your VoIP service provider’s procedures for updating your address, and promptly
update address information in the event of a change.
• Have a clear understanding of any limitations of your 911 service.
• Inform children, babysitters, and visitors about your VoIP service and its 911 limitations, if any.
• If your power is out or your internet connection is down, be aware that your VoIP service may not
work. Consider installing a backup power supply, maintaining a traditional phone line, or having a
wireless phone as a backup.
