 Application Notes Overview

1. Overview
1.1 Definition
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) Phone is a feature complied with SIP protocol standard. This feature takes the
repeater as a carrier to realize the real-time communications between the radio and telephones, such as PSTN
phones, VoIP phones and mobile phones. Radio referred here covers portable radio and mobile radio. Here the
portable radio is taken as the example.

SIP is a standard protocol defined by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) to set up, terminate and modify
interactive user sessions which include multimedia elements such as video, voice, instant communication, online
game and virtual reality. Being open and smart, SIP protocol is now widely applied in VoIP as the development of
the Internet. SIP Phone can realize the real-time communications between radios and VoIP phones, PSTN phones
and mobile phones.

SIP Phone feature has the following highlights:

 Reducing the cost of building and maintaining communication networks.

 Allowing users to choose private call/group call/all call/full duplex call contacts conveniently.

Note
The full duplex call refers to a private call, during which both the called party and the calling party can send
and receive voice simultaneously.

1.2 Principle
The repeaters register the radio contacts (private call/group call/all call/full duplex call contacts) to the IPPBX
device, and then communicate with other telephones via the IPPBX device to realize the real-time
communications between radios and telephones.

1.2.1 Registration
After connected with the SIP phone network, the repeater registers the phone call contacts with the IPPBX device
upon power-on. Afterwards, the radios can communicate with telephones.

Phone call contact covers private call/group call/all call/full duplex call contacts which can communicate with the
telephone.

 Overview Application Notes

Figure 1-1 Repeater Registering Phone Call Contacts

1.2.2 Radios Calling Telephone Devices

When making a call to the telephone terminal, the phone number input through the DTMF (Dual Tone
Multi-Frequency) keypad is generated into a DTMF signaling which will be sent to the repeater. The repeater
decodes the received signaling to the number and converts it to an SIP call request to the IPPBX device. The
IPPBX device will search for the address and location of the called number, and then access the telephone
network via the corresponding interface accordingly to call the number. See below:

Figure 1-2 Diagram of Radio Calling Telephone

1.2.3 Telephone Calling Radio

When making a call to the radio, the telephone network sends the request to the IPPBX device, the IPPBX device
forwards the request to the repeater, and then the repeater calls the radio. See below:

4
 Application Notes Overview

Figure 1-3 Diagram of Telephone Calling Radio

1.3 Typical Network Topology

The Typical Network topology consists of radios, repeaters, Ethernet switches, IPPBX and telephones. The radios
access the Ethernet via the repeaters, then the repeaters connect to IPPBX via the Ethernet, and finally IPPBX
connects to the telephones via the telephone network. See below.

Figure 1-4 Typical Network Topology

The communication capacity depends on the IPPBX and network deployment. In an SIP phone network, multiple
repeaters can be connected, PSTN phones and mobile phones can be connected through the RJ11 interface, VoIP
phones the RJ45 interface, and moreover, cascade of multiple IPPBX can form an even bigger network to realize
the communication between radios, PSTN phones, VoIP phones and mobile phones.

5
 Overview Application Notes

1.4 Restriction
 The repeater must comply with the protocol “SIP/2.0(RFC 3261)”.

 In the IP Multi-site Connect system, to avoid a heavy load of the repeater, it is not advised to enable SIP
feature on the dispatcher or repeater with the third-party service enabled.

 This feature is available to conventional radios and repeaters on digital channel only.

 The conventional radio using CPS-ZJ as the dialing rule doesn’t support SIP.

 This feature is available to portable radios and mobile radios with display only.

 SIP phone is incompatible with AIS on the same repeater or IP Multi-site Connect system.

 The parameter Telephone Interconnection Enable must be checked via CPS for the repeater. Please refer to

parameter TX Admit must be set to Always Allow. Please refer to 4.2.4 Radio Setting for detailed
configuration.

 If the parameter Third Party Connect Mode is set to Normal (CPS configuration path: Conventional ->
General Setting -> Network -> Application Programming Interface), then only one repeater in the system can
enable Telephone Interconnection, otherwise the communications may be terminated abnormally. If Third
Party Connect Mode is set to Selective, all repeaters in the system must enable this feature. If the firmware
version of the repeater is R6.0 or R6.5, it is recommended to set Third Party Connect Mode to Normal.
From firmware version R7.0 and above, the Phone feature is applied to the whole network by default, exactly,
only one repeater is enabled with Phone feature, all radios in the system will communicate with telephone
system via this repeater.

 The phone gate ID, radio ID and repeater ID must be unique from each other.

 Communication Procedure Application Notes

5. Communication Procedure
5.1 Dialing Example
The radio calls to the telephone by accessing the telephone network and uses the dialing rules specified by the
telephone network. Thus, the call procedure for the radio and telephone to call each other is the same. In this case,
the radio can be considered as a telephone. When the telephone and the called radio are within a LAN, the calls
between them are internal calls. Otherwise, the calls are trans-regional calls.

For example, the dialing rule of Company A is as follows:

 Dial the internal number directly to make an internal call.

 Input 0 before the external number to make a trans-regional call.

Now,

 For the radio to call the internal telephone, input the extension number of the telephone and hold down the
PTT key to initiate a call.

 For the radio to call the external telephone (including the mobile phone), input 0 before the number and hold
down the PTT key to initiate a call.

 For the internal telephone to call the internal radio, input the radio number to make a call directly (for Dial
Scheme, please refer to 6.1 Called Radio Number).

 For the external telephone to call the internal radio, dial the phone number of Company A first, and then input
the called number following the instructions to make a call.

5.2 Radio Calling Telephone

The procedure of a radio calling a telephone is as follows:

Caution
Radios can only make private call rather than group call to telephone. But the telephone can make private,
group or all call to the radios. Do not exit the DTMF Keypad mode during the calling process.

Precondition: Press the programmed DTMF Keypad key or go to “Menu -> Phone -> DTMF Keypad” to enable
the DTMF Keypad mode. The radio will display the DTMF Key icon in the home screen.

Step 1 Input the phone number (for Dial Scheme, please refer to 6.2 Called Phone Number) or select a preset
contact. Do as follows:

1. Input the phone number using the numeric keypad directly in the home screen

30
 Application Notes Communication Procedure

2. Go to “Menu -> Phone -> Manual Dial” and input the phone number

3. Go to “Menu -> Phone -> Phone List” and select a preset contact

Note
The radio supports two dialing methods: Buffer Dial and Live Dial. Buffer Dial is taken as the
example.
 Buffer Dial: Similar to the dialing on the mobile phone. Input the complete phone number
through the keypad, and then hold down the PTT key to call.
 Live Dial: Input the complete phone number through the keypad when holding down the PTT
key. The radio will make a call to the input number in several seconds (this time is configured
via CPS).

Step 2 Hold down the PTT key to initiate a phone call to the input number or preset contact.

Note
Here the Buffer Dial is taken as the example. You can also employ the Live Dial.

Step 3 The radio waits the called phone to answer.

The called phone will give incoming call alerts. You may be required to input the extension number or
account password during call establishment. Please input the numbers via the DTMF keypad following
the instructions.

Step 4 When the called party answers the call, the call is established successfully.

Step 5 Hold down the PTT key to talk.

During communication, the radio is operating in simplex mode. It cannot receive the voice from the
repeater if you hold down the PTT key to transmit impolitely when the radio is under receiving.

Step 6 When the communication is done, you can press the Disconnect Code button and hold down the PTT
key to send the preset Disconnect Code to terminate the call.

Note
If the Disconnect Code button is not programmed, you have to enter the Disconnect Code via the
numeric keypad manually and then hold down the PTT key to send it.

The radio cannot terminate the group or all call initiated by the phone, but can stop receiving by switching to
another channel.

5.3 Telephone Calling Radio

The procedure of a telephone calling a radio is as follows:

Step 1 Pick up the phone.

31
 Communication Procedure Application Notes

Step 2 Input the number (for Dial Scheme, please refer to 6.1 Called Radio Number).

Caution
The radio cannot receive phone calls when it is on an analog channel.

Step 3 The telephone waits the radio to answer.

Step 4 The radio gives alerts.

 The radio answers the call from the phone automatically.

 When your radio receives a private call, you can perform alternatively as follow:

 Press the Connect Code button and hold down the PTT key to send the preset Connect Code to
answer the call. Press the Connect Code button to answer the call if One-key Connect is enabled.

 Press the Disconnect Code button and hold down the PTT key to send the preset Disconnect
Code to reject the call. Press the Disconnect Code button to reject the call if One-key Disconnect
is enabled.

Step 5 When the radio answers the call, the call is established successfully. The call is terminated if the radio
rejects to answer.

During the call, the telephone operates in duplex mode.

Step 6 When the talk is over, the call initiator can end the call by hanging up.

 Application Notes Dial Scheme

6. Dial Scheme
6.1 Called Radio Number
When the telephone calls the radio, phone user inputs the Called Number using the numeric keypad directly.

 If Dial-up Mapping feature is not enabled, the dial scheme of the Called Number is as follows:

Called Number = Call Type + Slot# + Target ID

Parameter Description Value Range

Set the type of calls, namely the “Call Type” under Phone Call

Call Type Configuration. 1, 2 or 3

1 indicates private call, 2 group call and 3 all call.

Set the slot in which the repeater transmits and receives voice
Slot# signals, namely the “Slot ID” under Phone Call Configuration. 1 or 2
1 indicates Slot1 and 2 Slot2.

The private or group call ID of the radio, namely the “Target

Target ID ID” under Phone Call Configuration. This ID is related to the 1-16776415
call type.

Table 6-1

Caution
The Called Radio Number must be consistent with the SIP extension number configured on the IPPBX device.

 If Dial-up Mapping feature is enabled, the dial scheme of the Called Number is as follows:

Called Number = Phone ID

Parameter Description Value Range

Set the number of the radio for the phone call, exactly, the
Phone ID in phone contact list.

The Phone ID must be unique and one of the corresponding

Radio ID, Slot# and Call Type of each Phone ID must be
Phone ID 1-4294967295
unique. That is to say, at least one of the Radio ID, Slot#
and Call Type between two Phone IDs must be unique.

With Dial-up Mapping feature enabled, if you want to keep

the original dial scheme and extension number of IPPBX,

33
 Dial Scheme Application Notes

Parameter Description Value Range

you just need to set the Phone ID on the repeater according

to the original dial scheme, that is to set the Phone ID to
Call Type + Slot# + Radio ID.

Table 6-2

For example, the Radio ID, Slot# and Call Type of Radio A is 3001, Slot1 and Private Call respectively.

 If Dial-up Mapping is not enabled, you can only make a call to Radio A by dialing 113001.

 If Dial-up Mapping is enabled, you can make a call to Radio A by dialing the Phone ID. For example, if
extension number of the Phone ID of Radio Ais 23, you can dial 23 to call Radio A. If you want to keep the
previous extension number 113001, you can set the Phone ID to 113001, then you need to dial 113001 to call
Radio A .

6.2 Called Phone Number

When calling a telephone with a radio, you can input the number using the numeric keypad directly. Please refer
to 5.1 Dialing Example for detailed dial schemes.

 Application Notes FAQ

7. FAQ
Q: Why does the radio give no response to the call from a telephone, and the telephone give alert that “the
number you dialed is unreachable, please check the number and dial later”?

A: The radio registration may be failed. Please check the repeater PBX Connect Code and SIP extension password
set on IPPBX, they must be the same.

Q: Why does the call end automatically when the radio calls the telephone?

A: The radio registration may be failed. See the answer above for solutions.

Q: Why does the radio keep ringing after inputting the connect code when receiving a telephone call?

A: The Connect Code may be incorrect. Please check whether the connect code of the radio is the same as that of
the repeater. Or, the Path Priority is not “Repeat Request” or Repeat Request Priority is not “Local Repeating”.

Q: Why cannot the radio terminate the phone call?

A: The radio cannot terminate a group call. For a private phone call, because the Disconnect Code of the radio is
not the same as that of the repeater.

Q: Why does the radio fail to dial through when trying again?

A: Two potential reasons: 1. Network delay. Please check the network. 2. The value of Digital DTMF Tx Gain is
lower than 4.

Q: Why does the telephone rings again when it hangs up before the radio answers the call?

A: The IPPBX detection may be not accurate. Please hang up again.

Q: Why cannot the telephone hear the radio while the radio can hear the telephone on a group call initiated
by the telephone?

A: The Third Party Connect Mode of the repeater is set to Selective. In this mode, the repeater does not forward
the voice signal to the telephone.

35
 FAQ Application Notes

Q： Why cannot the radio terminate the call to the telephone?

A: The configuration on the request priority of the home repeater of the radio may be incorrect. If the home
repeater does not support the Phone feature, the radio can make a phone call through other available repeaters via
the IP multi-site connect. In this case, the Repeat Request Priority of the home repeater must be set to “Local
Repeating”. CPS configuration path: Edit -> Conventional -> General Setting -> Accessories -> Priority Control
-> Repeat Request Priority.
