GETTING STARTED
Switch phone on.
On first use it connects to the Internet and downloads the required settings from the Birchills Telecom site.
The phone reboots and then performs as below
It displays a series of stars and then displays WAIT LOGON
Once operational, it displays DHCP at the top left of the screen and SIP at the right and the current date and time.
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol
Both terms are explained in the glossary at the end of this document.
If the connection to the Internet is not present it displays the “WAIT LOGON” message for a prolonged period before displaying
the date Jan 01 00 00 00 and at top left DHCP flashes. Connecting to the Internet now brings up the correct date and the DHCP
and SIP display.
You now need to sign on to the Birchills Telecom network and get a phone number. To do this please call 12345 which will con-
nect you to the Activation hotline which operates 9.00 am to 5.00pm, Monday - Friday. We will need the 4 digit serial number of
your phone. Unless your organisation has previously registered, we will also need your bank details to set up a direct debit and
you will also need to choose a phone number. Once we have those details the phone will be activated with a £50 credit limit.
This amount is for our mutual protection – it prevents unauthorised users running up large bills and can be increased by calling
us if this doesn’t meet with your needs.
Your Birchills Telecom handset will then be ready for use.
