A Brief Overview
In the past,
real-time voice information is sent over Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN). With Circuit-Switched Technology, a call takes up
dedicated bandwidth. End-to-end calls are established on the basis
of dialed digits in sequence. The PSTN dedicates a physical path
between callers. The phone equipment establishes a call path at
the beginning of a call. The path may change between calls, but
not during any specific call.
In comparison
with a PSTN, an Internet Protocol (IP) Network has a Packet-Switched
architecture. Devices transmit data in packets, and the path from
end to end can vary within an established session. In addition to
data, packets also contain addressing information, which routing
devices use to send information to its destination. Routing devices
maintain tables which instruct them how to direct packets. As networking
environments change, routing devices are updated with dynamic protocols.
Traditionally, the PSTN was the only network supporting voice communication.
With an Super Phone, voice traffic can be sent over IP-based Packet-Switched
networks!
::
No Computer Needed
Super Phone
possesses its own processor and network interface; it works intelligently.
Simply enter the Internet account into the Super Phone with the
phone keypad and press the button on the Super Phone. Then users
are ready to talk as long as they wish via Internet. All of the
communication costs will be eliminated except a local Internet connection
charge.
::
User - Friendly Interface
With a back-lit
LCD display and five buttons, Super Phone is extremely easy to use
and to configure. The smart setup program allows the Super Phone
to be ready-to-go in three minutes. All the system status can be
clearly monitored through the LCD panel.

Making Super Phone 800/3000 work behind NAT/Firewall:
Super Phone
800 and Super Phone 3000 both can work behind NAT/Firewall, it can
also be Configured to get IP address from DHCP server but this is
not recommended if its behind NAT / Firewall. The reason is, with
Dynamic IP address, setting port forwarding in routers is a hassle.
Most of the
CABLE/DSL routers have DMZ (De-Militarize Zone); any IP saved in
DMZ will be exposed to everyone over the Internet with your public
IP address. DMZing PCs is not a good practice but when it comes
to Super Phone, there is no risk. DMZing Super phone fixed IP address
is short and simple setup.
Other option
is PORT FORWARDING, if there is no DMZ option in your cable/dsl
router, look for port forwarding option. Please refer to your Cable/Dsl
Router’s manual and forward following ports to your super
phone IP address.
::
Ports
TCP
1100
TCP 1600-1602
UDP 1101-1124
This is all
you need to do, restart your router, and super phone 800/3000 both
and you will see stable @ sign on super phone’s CLI screen.
Congratulations!
And thank you for joining the worldwide Super Phone family who are
saving on long distance with an incoming USA phone number no matter
where they are.

:: Troubleshooting
Problems
Making a Regular Phone to Super Phone Call
An attempt to make a Phone-to-Super Phone call but it did not work.
Check that
your desired Super Phones is online and an online symbol "@"
appears on the LCD screen of the Super Phone to confirm the online
status you may call the party first. If at a certain time you are
connected to the Internet, but you can’t hear the other caller,
please wait for a few minutes and call again. If all fails, please
dial 1.800.959.8924 or 1.408.884.1966
and check with our technical support staff.
Problems Making a Super Phone-to-Super Phone Call
An attempt to make a Super Phone-to-Super Phone call does not work.
During the
process of making a Super Phone-to-Super Phone call, check for an
online symbol "@" on the LCD screen of
the Super Phone to confirm the online status. When one of the Super
Phone users presses the button, the receiving Super Phone user ought
to wait for the hand-shake symbol "~"
before hanging up the telephone. If several attempts were made and
the line quality cannot seem to support the hand-shake process,
try using the Direct-Link mode to make the call. Call our tech support
for help.
Problems
Making a Super Phone-to-Phone Call
The phone number entered and the LCD screen displayed
"Ready for Dial".
The phone number
was entered and the LCD screen still only displayed "Ready
for Dial". Login with your USER ID and password at http://www.mysuperphone.com/login
to check your talk time balance and to other get assistance. You
may need to add more talk time.
The
phone number was entered and the LCD screen displayed "No Service".
It is necessary
to input the Country code, Long-Distance code, and International
code correctly when making a Super Phone-to-Phone call because the
Super Phone uses this information to analyze the phone number dialed.
Another possibility that might have caused the "No Service"
is that the number dialed is out of the service area.
For information on all available countries, please refer to our
web site www.mysuperphone.com/rates
The
phone number was entered and the LCD screen displayed "Wrong
Account"
When the screen
displays "Wrong Account", it could mean that there is
no balance remaining in the TALK TIME. To apply, renew, or to re-activate
an ITSP Account, please contact your local distributor or login
at the web site http://www.mysuperphone.com/login
or call us at 1.800.959.8924 or 1.408.884.1966
for more detailed information.
The
phone number was entered and the LCD screen displayed "Server
Busy".
When the screen
displays " Server Busy", that means all the lines are
busy and temporarily unavailable. Try to call again later.
Problems Making a Direct-Link Call
No
clue on finding the Super Phone's six-digit ID.
The six-digit ID can be identified at the bottom of the Super Phone.
This sticker should not be removed.
The
Super Phone's six-digit ID was entered and the LCD screen displayed
"Ready for Dial".
A leading *
key is probably left out before entering the six-digit ID. For example,
when making a Direct-Link call to a receiving Super Phone ID 001234,
enter *001234 during the "Ready for Dial"
mode in order to make the call.
The
Super Phone's six-digit ID of the receiving party was entered and
the LCD screen displayed "Party Off Line".
Before making
a Direct-Link call, confirm the six-digit ID of receiving Super
Phone is entered correctly. The receiving Super Phone must be connected
to the Internet. If the receiving Super Phone has not connected
to Internet, try later. If the receiving Super Phone is still offline,
the caller should notify the receiving party to pick up the handset
and press the big button on the front middle of the Super Phone
to connect to the Internet.
Problems during an Internet Call
During the call, there is a slight delay while conversing.
This
is an expected Internet phone situation as voice is being sent over
Internet in packets. Using the best Internet Service available in
your area will help. Using the Super Phone during NON-PEAK times
will also help.
During
the call, it is difficult to hear the other party.
The Network
Percentage Indicator on the LCD screen allows the user to monitor
and to identify if the Internet traffic has become congested. The
user may wait to see if the traffic subsides or press the button
to terminate the call and try to place the call later. If the call
cannot be terminated successfully, switch off the power to reset
the Super Phone and place the call again.
If
there are still other problems other than the ones stated above...
It is recommended
that users should try to use other Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
to secure the best Internet connection quality.
Problems
Terminating the Internet Connection
The
button was pressed to terminate the Internet connection but the
LCD screen kept displaying "Please Wait".
Super Phone
will initiate a connection to SUPERTEC Super Phone Server before
terminating Internet connection. If the "Please Wait"
message is displayed for over 30 seconds due to the congested Internet
traffic, turn off power to reset the Super Phone.
