Getting Started


This chapter will show you the basic process of phone's start-up and instructions of the way to get the basic information of the phone. Topics include:


Phone Initialization


After your phone is powered on, the phone will boots up, complete the initialization and check firmware. Please refer to the three phases of the LCD display:

In the process of initializing, the phone will attempts to contact a DHCP server in your network to obtain valid IPv4 network settings (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address and DNS address) by default.


Phone Status


After the phone comes up, you can view phone status on phone user interface (LCD) via the following ways:

  • Press "OK" button twice.
  • Press the following button one by one: "Menu" → "Status" → "information".


Available information of phone status includes:

  • Network status (e.g., IPv4 status, IP mode, MAC address).
  • Phone status (e.g., product name, firmware version, MAC address and device certificate status).
  • Language information.



Press "Up" or "Down"to scroll through the list and view the specific information.

Auto Provision via RPS

Provision the IP Phone via RPS is a convenience way.

In this way, you need create a server on RPS that mapping to the provisioning URL of Netsapiens (like http://alphandp.NetSapiens.com/cfg/).

And then you need bind the MAC address of the phone with your server on RPS first. (If you don't have a RPS account, please contact your sales or your provider)

The last thing is add the phone to Netsapiens. You could add it one by one, but you also could add the phones by Import feature.


After that, when the IP Phone start up , default it will send 'Get' message to the RPS server, if the phone's MAC address is assigned on the RPS Server previously, the RPS server will send the preset URL of the configure server to IP Phone.

The work process of RPS show below. And more information about how to use RPS, please refer to these documents fm.htek.com/rs/rps.zip .


Auto Provision via DHCP Option 66

The most important way of Auto provision is DHCP option 66, which is mainly used in the situation where Htek IP Phone and NetSapiens platform can communicate with each other.

An example of the NetSapiens platform's auto provision URL is http://alphandp.NetSapiens.com/cfg/, put this URL into you DHCP Sever's option 66.

Share line

Over View

Htek IP Phone supports SLA. This feature allows members of the SLA group to shared SIP lines and provides status monitoring (idle, active, progressing, hold) of the shared line. When there is an incoming call designated for the SLA group, all of the members of the group will be notified of an incoming call and will be able to answer the call from the phone with the SLA extension registered in the group.


All the users that belong to the same SLA group will be notified by visual indicator when a user seizes the line and places an outgoing call, and all the users of this group will not be able to seize the line until the line goes back to an idle state or when the call is placed on hold (with the exception of when multiple call appearances are enabled on the server side).


In the middle of the conversation, there are two types of hold: Public Hold and Private Hold.  When a member of the group places the call on public hold, the other users of the SLA group will be notified of this by the red-flashing button and they will be able to resume the call from their phone by pressing the line button. However, if this call is placed on private-hold, no other member of the SLA group will be able to resume that call.


To enable shared call appearance, the user would need to register the shared line account on the phone. In addition, they would need to navigate to “Profile” -> “Advanced” on the webpage and set the “SIP Server Type” as Default, and configure the Line Key as “line” type with the desired account on webpage or LCD. If the user requires more shared call appearances, the user can configure multiple line keys (Function Keys->Line key) to be “line” type associated with the account.


This feature is very useful in the boss and secretary scenario. For example, the secretary can share the boss' extension number on her phone. When there is an incoming call to the extension number of the boss, both the phones of the boss and the secretary will ring simultaneously. Either the boss or the secretary can answer the call. Calls on shared line can be placed on hold or barged in.

How To Config

  1. Click “Users” button→Select a user→Click the “Edit” button→Enter the Phone’s tab
