1 Introduction
.......................................................................................................................................
The Mine Site Technologies MinePhone MP10-G2 is a Voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN) phone
designed for use in hazardous environments. It is an integral component in the MST ImPact Coal
product suite, allowing for two way voice and text communication over underground wireless
networks.
This document covers installation of charging infrastructure, network configuration of the handset,
server side configuration, and the recurring maintenance required for reliable operation.

2 Charger Installation
.......................................................................................................................................
The MinePhone is supplied with a charging block that the handset is placed within to initiate
charging.

Correctly setting up a charger for the MinePhone requires consideration of a suitable location, and
ensuring power is correctly connected.
2.1 Positioning
The charger provided for the MinePhone is not approved for use in hazardous areas
MinePhone Chargers should be located in a well ventilated non-hazardous area, with access to a clean
Power supply. The ambient temperature should be within the range of 0 to 40 degrees Celcius.
Selecting a suitable charger position should account for the ease of physical access, and visibility of
charge indicators on the charger unit, and the handset's screen.
While handsets should slide easily into the charger, some users are likely to apply considerably more
force than required - the charger should be suitably supported to account for this.
2.2 Connectors
Due to regional differences there are several types of power connectors available for connecting the
MinePhone charger to a power source. You should confirm that you have been shipped connectors of
the appropriate voltage and type for your site prior to installation.
The power pack supplied will connect to either 110V or 240V AC power. The tail will terminate in a
2.5mm DC connector jack that fits into the charging block.

3 Phone Configuration
.......................................................................................................................................
MinePhones are designed to be deployed as a fleet with centralised management software, which
reduces the configuration complexity operators are exposed to. Phones will by default attempt to
connect to a TFTP server and download site and device specific configuration files at startup.
The MinePhone does offer the ability for the network and configuration settings to be manually edited
from the device itself. This functionality is exposed only when the phone is started in Admin mode.
3.1 Powering Up
A newly commissioned MinePhone should receive a full battery charge before deployment.
Ensure that every new handset is charged for a minimum of eight hours before operation.
A MinePhone is powered on by holding down the power button, located on the top of the digital keyboard,
for 5 seconds. If the handset is charged, it will turn on and the display will light up to show an
introduction splash screen.
3.1.1 Administrator Mode
To power a unit into Admin mode, press the #key before pressing the power button and hold until
after the splash screen is shown.

If started in Admin mode the text Admin will appear in the bottom left corner of the splash screen and
the Network and Configuration menus will be available from the Main Menu.

3.2 User Configurable Settings
The majority of settings for the phone are site specific and are managed centrally. Users may however
adjust volume and screen brightness during operation.
3.2.1 Volume
During operation a user may wish to adjust the volume of ringtone and communication. Changing the
volume does not require Admin access.
If on a call, the volume may be adjusted using the up and down navigation button on the keypad.
Alternatively the volume may be adjusted from the Sound Setting accessible from the main menu.
Select Sound -> Volume Setting and use the Up and Down navigation buttons to adjust the
volume.
Sound configuration option in the main menu
3.2.2 Brightness
During operation a user may wish to adjust the brightness of the display, or change when the display
goes into power-saving mode. Changing screen brightness does not require Admin access.
Screen brightness settings are accessed under Settings from the Main Menu.

3.3 Automatic Network Configuration
A MinePhone handset will use the last network settings it was configured with to attempt to connect
to a network. Once connected to the network, the handset will request updates to its configuration
from a TFTP server.
For a newly commissioned phone these settings are:

To assist with commissioning of new phones, it is suggested that sites have a Wireless Access Point
configured with the above network settings in a convenient location. This allows for new handsets to
be turned on in range of this Access Point (AP) and retrieve the mine's specific network settings.
3.4 Manually Configuring Network Settings
If not using an auto-configuration AP, or if auto-configuration fails then the Network settings may be
defined manually from the handset.
To do this, ensure that the phone is started in Admin mode as described above. This will give access to
the Network configuration menu from within the main menu.
Network configuration option in the main menu
The Network menu provides access to settings and modes specific to wireless connectivity and remote
server locations. Selecting a setting will open the current value in a text editable field, the following
controls can be used:
• OK to accept the current text and return to the last menu
• Back to backspace and edit the text.
• The * key to toggle between character and numeric entry
• Keypad buttons to enter numbers or cycle through characters
• The # key accesses extended punctuation
