Confirm User Password | Re-enter the new password for verification, must match. |
Password Recovery Email Address | This option is highly recommended, as if the password is lost, you can recover it on the configured Email address. Note: Make sure to configure SMTP Email Settings under “Email Settings”. |
Account
The GSC361X supports 4 SIP accounts and 4 lines, this section covers the configuration of basic and advanced sip settings for each account.
Account 1 – 4
This page allows the administrator to configure the SIP account basic and advanced settings for each SIP account:
SIP Basic Settings | |
Account Active | This field indicates whether the account is active. Default setting is “Yes”. |
Account Name | Configures the SIP account name used for identification. |
SIP Server | Configures the FQDN or IP of the SIP server from VoIP service provider or local IPPBX. |
Outbound Proxy | Configures the IP address or the domain name of the outbound proxy, media gateway, or session border controller. It is used by the GSC for firewall or NAT penetration in different network environments. If a symmetric NAT is detected, STUN will not work and only an outbound proxy can provide a solution. |
Backup Outbound Proxy | Configures the backup outbound proxy to be used when the “Outbound Proxy” registration fails. By default, this field is left empty. |
Configure which DNS mode will be used to translate the SIP Server FQDN (Default value is A Record):
| |
Configures the SIP username or telephone number from ITSP. Note: Letters, digits and special characters including @ are supported. | |
Authenticate ID | Configures the Authenticate ID used by SIP proxy. |
Sets the Authenticate password used by SIP proxy. Note: For security reasons, the SIP password is invisible on the web UI. | |
TEL URI | Select “User=Phone” or “Enabled” from the dropdown list. If the SIP account has an assigned PSTN telephone number, this field should be set to “User=Phone”. Then a “User=Phone” parameter will be attached to the Request-Line and “TO” header in the SIP request to indicate the E.164 number. If set to “Enable”, “Tel:” will be used instead of “SIP:” in the SIP request. The default setting is “Disable”. |
SIP Advanced Settings | |
Registration Expiration (m) | Sets the registration expiration time. Default setting is 60 minutes. Valid range is from 1 to 64800 minutes. |
Specifies the time frequency (in seconds) that the GSC361X sends re-registration request before the Register Expiration. The default value is 0. Range is from 0-64800 seconds. | |
Local SIP Port | Sets the local SIP port. Default setting is 5060 for Account 1, 5062 for Account 2, 5064 for Account 3, 5066 for Account 4. |
SIP Transport | Chooses the SIP transport protocol. UDP, TCP or TCP/TLS. Default setting is UDP. |
Stream | Select the Video stream to be used by the GSC361X when call is made from this SIP Account. Default is Stream 2. |
Specifies the mechanism to transmit DTMF digits. There are 2 supported modes:
| |
Configures the payload type for DTMF using RFC2833. Default value is 101. Range: 96~127. | |
Unregister on Reboot | Allows the SIP user’s registration information to be cleared when the GSC reboots. The SIP REGISTER message will contain “Expires: 0” to unbind the connection. |
This parameter configures whether the NAT traversal mechanism is activated. Users could select the mechanism from No, STUN, Keep-alive, UPnP, Auto. The default setting is “No”. If set to “STUN” and STUN server is configured, the GSC will route according to the STUN server. If NAT type is Full Cone, Restricted Cone or Port-Restricted Cone, the unit will try to use public IP addresses and port number in all the SIP&SDP messages. The GSC will send empty SDP packet to the SIP server periodically to keep the NAT port open if it is configured to be “Keep-alive”. Configure this to be “No” if an outbound proxy is used. “STUN” cannot be used if the detected NAT is symmetric NAT. If the firewall and the SIP device behind the firewall are both able to use UPNP, it can be set to “UPNP”. Both parties will negotiate to use which port to allow SIP through. | |
If the user has SIP Proxy and Router support uPnP NAT Traversal, user can enable this feature to allow IP Camera to use UPnP NAT Traversal and automatically process the NAT issue. The default is disabled. | |
Enable SRTP mode based on your selection from the drop-down menu. The default setting is “Disabled”, the two other modes are “Enabled but Not Forced” and “Enabled and Forced”. | |
Configures GSC settings to meet different vendors’ server requirements. Users can choose from Standard, BroadSoft or Telefonica Spain. This “Special Feature” will allow GSC36xx to operate like other Grandstream SIP end points in some ITSP’s network, like for example Telefonica, or Broadsoft platform. The default setting is “Standard”. | |
In route: outbound proxy FQDN is placed in route header. This is used for the SIP Extension to notify the SIP server that the device is behind a NAT/Firewall. Always sent to: SIP messages will always be sent to Outbound proxy. Not in route: remove the Route header from SIP requests. | |
This option allows 3rd party Service Provider or Cloud Solution to monitor the operation status of the GSC361X by using related SIP Calls. By default, it is disabled. Users can choose either RTCP or RTCP-XR. | |
The H.264 payload type can now be configured to be compatible with 3rd party video phones, as well as other advanced SIP settings, to easy system integration process. Default is 99. | |
When set to “Yes”, the SIP address of the Request URL in the incoming SIP message will be checked. If it does not match the SIP server address of the account, the call will be rejected. The default setting is disabled. | |
Vocoder Settings | |
Select audio codec to prioritize. Supported codecs are: PCMU and PCMA. | |
Preferred Vocoder 2 | Select the second audio codec PCMU or PCMA. |
Configures the number of voice frames transmitted per packet. When configuring this, it should be noted that the “ptime” value for the SDP will change with different configurations here. This value is related to the codec used and the actual frames transmitted during the in-payload call. For end users, it is recommended to use the default setting, as incorrect settings may influence the audio quality. Range is from 1-64. The default setting is 2. |
Phone Settings
The phone settings allow users to configure the GSC361X phone settings and the White list for all the SIP accounts.

STUN Server | Configures the STUN server FQDN or IP. If the device is behind a non-symmetric router, STUN server can help to penetrate & resolve NAT issues. |
Local RTP Port | Sets the local RTP port for media. Default setting is 5004. Range between 1024~65400. |
Forces the GSC361X to use random ports for both SIP and RTP messages. This is usually necessary when multiple units are behind the same full cone NAT. The default setting is “Disabled” Note: This parameter must be set to “Disabled” for Direct IP Calling to work. | |
Auto On-Hook Timer | Configures the auto on-hook timer (in seconds) for automatic disconnecting the SIP call. Default setting is 300. Range between 0~65535. |
Specifies the Ring timeout, when no reply is returned from the called party after exceeding this field, the GSC361X will hang up the call. The value is in the range of 0s – 90s. By default, it is “30” seconds. | |
SIP TLS Certificate | Input the TLS certificate here for encryption. |
SIP TLS Private Key | Input private key here for TLS security protection. |
SIP TLS Private Key Password | Specifies the password for SIP TLS private Key. |
Enable Direct IP Call | Accepts peer-to-peer IP call (over UDP only) without SIP server. Default is “Enabled”. |
Allows the user to enable/disable the alarm sound during a SIP call triggered by doorbell pressing. | |
SIP Proxy Compatibility Mode | Enables more proxy compatibility with cost of bandwidth, the SIP call will send audio no matter what. |
When enabled, the GSC361X will have in SDP “packetization-mode = 0”. This is required when the device is interacting with legacy video phones that only accepts this value to decode the RTP. | |
This feature allows the device to receive multiple calls at the same time, with one active and others on hold (up to 4 calls maximum). | |
Allows to factory reset the devices directly through SIP Notify. If “Allow Reset Via SIP NOTIFY” is “check”, then once the GSC3610/3615 receives the SIP NOTIFY from the SIP server with Event: reset, the device will perform a factory reset after authentication. This authentication can be either with:
Default is unchecked (disabled). |
Account [1-4] White List
This page allows users to configure the white list per account, which is a phone number or extension list that can call the GSC361X. (The call will be automatically answered when calling from a phone set on the white list, and all other inbound calls will be blocked), the user can configure up to 30 white phone numbers per SIP account. Moreover, besides numbers associated to active cards, and numbers on the “Number Called When Doorbell Pressed” setting, all whitelisted numbers can open door remotely by using the respective PIN code.
The table below gives a brief overview of the options:
