Account – General Settings
Table 23: Account – General Settings
Account Active | Indicates whether the account is active. The default value for the primary Account 1 is “Yes” and the default value for the other five accounts is “No”. |
Account Name | Configures the name associated with each account to be displayed on the LCD. |
SIP Server | Specifies the URL or IP address, and port of the SIP server. This is provided by your VoIP service provider (ITSP). |
SIP User ID | Configures user account information provided by your VoIP service provider (ITSP). It’s usually in the form of digits similar to phone number or actually a phone number. |
SIP Authentication ID | Configures the SIP service subscriber’s Authenticate ID used for authentication. It can be identical to or different from the SIP User ID. |
SIP Authentication Password | Configures the account password required for the phone to authenticate with the ITSP (SIP) server before the account can be registered. After saving, it will appear as hidden for security purpose. |
Voice Mail Access Number | Sets if the phone system allows users to access the voice messages by pressing the Voicemail icon on the GAC2500. For example, in UCM6xxx IPPBX, *97 could be used. |
Name | The SIP server subscriber’s name (optional) that will be used for Caller ID display. |
Show Account Name Only | Defines whether to display account name and SIP User ID, if check, it only displays account name on account area. |
Tel URI | If the phone 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”. |
Account – Network Settings
Table 24: Account – Network Settings
Outbound Proxy | Configures the IP address or the domain name of the primary outbound proxy, media gateway or session border controller. It’s used by the phone 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 |
Secondary Outbound Proxy | Sets IP address or domain name of the secondary outbound proxy, media gateway or session border controller. The phone system will try to connect the Secondary outbound proxy only if the primary outbound proxy fails. |
DNS Mode | Defines which DNS service will be used to lookup IP address for SIP server’s hostname. It can be selected from the dropdown list:
If it needs DNS SRV resource, which DNS server response more than one result, it should be set to “SRV” or “NATPTR/SRV”. The default setting is “A Record”. |
Configure the preferred IP mode for DNS SRV. • If “default” is selected, first IP from query result will be applied. • If “Saved one until DNS TTL” is selected, first IP will be applied before reaches DNS timeout. • If “Saved one until no response” is selected, first IP will be applied even after DNS times out until it cannot response. | |
NAT Traversal | Specifies which NAT traversal mechanism will be enabled on the phone system. It can be selected from the dropdown list:
If the outbound proxy is configured and used, it can be set to “NAT NO”. If set to “STUN” and STUN server is configured, the phone system will periodically send STUN message to the SUTN server to get the public IP address of its NAT environment and keep the NAT port open. STUN will not work if the NAT is symmetric type. If set to “Keep-alive”, the phone system will send the STUN packets to maintain the connection that is first established during registration of the phone. The “Keep-alive” packets will fool the NAT device into keeping the connection open and this allows the host server to send SIP requests directly to the registered phone. If it needs to use OpenVPN to connect host server, it needs to set it to “VPN”. If the firewall and the SIP device behind the firewall are both able to use UPNP, it can be set to “UPNP”. The both parties will negotiate to use which port to allow SIP through. The default setting is “Keep-alive”. |
Proxy-Require | Adds the Proxy-Required header in the SIP message. It is used to indicate proxy-sensitive features that must be supported by the proxy. Do not configure this parameter unless this feature is supported on the SIP server. |

DTMF | Specifies the mechanism to transmit DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) signals. There are 3 supported modes: in audio, RFC2833, or SIP INFO. • In audio, which means DTMF is combined in the audio signal (not very reliable with low-bit-rate codecs); • RFC2833, which means to specify DTMF with RTP packet. Users could know the packet is DTMF in the RTP header as well as the type of DTMF; • SIP INFO, which uses SIP INFO to carry DTMF. The defect of this mode is that it’s easily to cause desynchronized of DTMF and media packet if the SIP and RTP messages are required to transmitted respectively. The default setting is “RFC2833”. |
DTMF Payload Type | Configures the RTP payload type that indicates the transmitted packet contains DTMF digits. The valid range is from 96 to 127. The default value is 101. |
SRTP Mode | Sets if the phone system will enable the SRTP (Secured RTP) mode. It can be selected from dropdown list:
SRTP uses encryption and authentication to minimize the risk of denial of service. (DoS). If the server allows to use both RTP and SRTP, it should be configured as “Enabled but not forced”. Default setting is “Disable”. |
SRTP Key Length | Configures all the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) key size within SRTP. It can be selected from dropdown list: • AES128&256 bit • AES 128 bit • AES 256 bit If it is set to “AES 128&256 bit”, the phone system will provide both AES 128 and 256 cipher suites for SRTP. If set to “AES 128 bit”, it only provides 128-bit cipher suite; if set to “AES 256 bit”, it only provides 256-bit cipher suite. The default setting is “AES128&256 bit”. |
Enable SRTP key life time | Defines the SRTP key life time. When this option is set to be enabled, during the SRTP call, the SRTP key will be valid within 231 SIP packets, and phone will renew the SRTP key after this limitation. The default setting is “Yes”. |
Silence Suppression | Enables the silence suppression/VAD feature. If it is set to “Yes”, when silence is detected, a small quantity of VAD packets (instead of audio packets) will be sent during the period of no talking. If set to “No”, this feature is disabled. The default setting is “No”. |
Voice Frames per TX | 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. The default setting is 2. |
Configures the server address. When there is a call, the RTCP package sent from the phone will also be sent to this address. Server Address format must be IP:Port. The port range is 0-65535. Note: The address should contain port number. A prompt message will be displayed if the port number is not specified. |

Dial Plan | Configures the dial plan to establish the expected number and pattern of digits for a telephone number. This parameter configures the allowed dial-plan for the device. Dial Plan Rules: 1. Accepted Digits: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 , *, #, A,a,B,b,C,c,D,d,+
Example 1: {[369]11 | 1617xxxxxxx} Allow 311, 611, and 911 or any 10-digit numbers with leading digits 1617 Example 2: {^1900x+ | <=1617>xxxxxxx} Block any number of leading digits 1900 or add prefix 1617 for any dialed 7-digit numbers. Example 3: {1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx | <2=011>x+} Allow any number with leading digit 1 followed by a 3-digit number, followed by any number between 2 and 9, followed by any 7-digit number OR allow any length of numbers with leading digit 2, replacing the 2 with 011 when dialed. 3. Default: Outgoing – { x+ | +x+ | *x+ | *xx*x+ } Explanation of example rule (reading from left to right):
The dial plan supports also “T” character which means dial delay. This is used with “No key entry timeout (s)”. For example, if the dialplan is set to {8001T}, when the user opens Phone app and dials 8001, the phone would not call out immediately, but will wait for the No key entry timeout to dial out. Note: In some cases, where the user wishes to dial strings such as *123 to activate voice mail or other applications provided by their service provider, the * should be predefined inside the dial plan feature. An example dial plan will be: {*x+} which allows the user to dial * followed by any length of numbers. |
Refer-To Use Target Contact | Permits the “Refer-To” header to use the transferred target’s Contact header information for attended transfer. The default setting is “No”. |

- Manual upload firmware file to upgrade
- Upgrade via TFTP firmware server
- Upgrade via HTTP/HTTPS firmware server
Upgrade and Provisioning Configuration
There are two ways to setup upgrade and provisioning on GAC2500. They are Keypad Menu and Web GUI.
Configure via Keypad Menu
In GAC2500 Settings, select Advanced Settings🡪Upgrade. Users may then select the upgrade mode and enter the IP address or FQDN for the Firmware server and the Config server. After making the changes, tap Ok button to save the change. Then reboot the phone.

Configure via Web GUI
Open a web browser on PC and enter the IP address for the GAC2500. Then login with the administrator username and password. Go to Maintenance section, select Upgrade tab. In the Upgrade web page, enter the IP address or the FQDN for the upgrade server and choose to upgrade via TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS (The default setting is HTTPS). Save and apply the changes, then reboot the phone.

Upload Firmware Locally
If there is no HTTP/TFTP server, users could also upload the firmware to the GAC2500 directly via Web GUI. Please follow the steps below to upload firmware to GAC2500 locally.
Download the latest GAC2500 firmware file from the following link and save it in your PC. http://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware
Log in the Web GUI as administrator in the PC.
Go to Web GUI🡪Maintenance🡪Upgrade, configure Upgrade Via as “Manually Upload”.
Click the “Upload” button, a window will be prompted to select firmware file to upload.
- Select the firmware file from your PC. Then uploading progress will show at the button where it was “Upload” in the above step.
- When uploading is done, users can see the upgrading process starts on the GAC2500 LCD.
- The phone will reboot again with the new firmware version upgraded.

No Local Firmware Servers
Service providers should maintain their own firmware upgrade servers. For users who do not have a TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS server, some free Windows version HTTP/TFTP servers are available for download from: https://support.solarwinds.com/ and http://tftpd32.jounin.net/.
Please check our web site at http://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware for latest firmware.
Instructions for firmware upgrade:
- Unzip the firmware files and put all of them in the root directory of the TFTP server;
- Connect the PC running the TFTP server and the GAC2500 device to the same LAN segment;
- Launch the TFTP server and go to the File menu🡪Configure🡪Security to change the TFTP server’s default setting from “Receive Only” to “Transmit Only” for the firmware upgrade;
- Start the TFTP server and configure the TFTP server in the phone’s web configuration interface;
- Configure the Firmware Server Path to the IP address of the PC;
- Update the changes and reboot the GAC2500.
End users can also choose to download a free HTTP server from http://httpd.apache.org/ or use Microsoft IIS web server.
Provisioning and Configuration File Download
Grandstream SIP Devices can be configured via the Web Interface as well as via a Configuration File (binary or XML) through TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS. The “Config Server Path” is the TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS server path for the configuration file. It needs to be set to a valid URL, either in FQDN or IP address format. The “Config Server Path” can be the same or different from the “Firmware Server Path”.
A configuration parameter is associated with each particular field in the web configuration page. A parameter consists of a Capital letter P and 2 to 3 (Could be extended to 4 in the future) digit numeric numbers. i.e., P2 is associated with the “Admin Password” in the Web GUI🡪Maintenance🡪Security Settings page. For a detailed parameter list, please refer to the corresponding firmware release configuration template in the following link: http://www.grandstream.com/support/tools
When the GAC2500 boots up, it will issue TFTP or HTTP request to download a configuration XML file named “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx” followed by “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml”, where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the MAC address of the phone, i.e., “cfg000b820102ab” and “cfg000b820102ab.xml”. If downloading “cfg[MAC].xml” file is not successful, the phone will issue a request to download a specific model configuration file “cfggac2500.xml”. If this file is not available, the provision program will download a generic “cfg.xml” file. The configuration file name should be in lower case letters. For more details on XML provisioning, please refer to the following document:
https://documentation.grandstream.com/knowledge-base/sip-device-provisioning-guide/
Provision as Provision Server (PNP)
GAC2500 provides the Provision Server app for batch provision. The app setting is shown as follows:

Table 46: Provision Server Settings
Parameters | Description |
Provision Server | Enables the PNP (Plug and Play) feature on the device. If it is enabled, the device will be set as a provision server to send SIP NOTIFY message including the provision URL to response the client phone’s SIP SUBSCRIBE request. This feature will be enabled if the PNP URL is configured. If this setting is enabled, the 3CX Auto provision will be disabled automatically. Meanwhile, device would check whether SIP port is 5060. If SIP port is 5060, device would have a reminder to change the port number to a random one. |
3CX auto provision | Sets the phone system to broadcast the SIP SUBSCRIBE message during booting up to allow itself to be discovered and be configured by the SIP platform. The procedure requires support from 3CX SIP server. |
Provision Server URL | Configures PNP file URL address. The address needs protocol type, such as http/https/tftp. You can also tap on “Local” to auto fill in local address, such as, “http://192.168.121.111/pnp”. So, users need to save the cfg file to /Internal Storage/pnp/ directory. |
After configuring the PNP provision, please reboot the device to take effect. After the provision takes effect, all the device in the same LAN would send SUBSCRIBE to GAC after boot up. Based on the information received to complete provision.
When using Provision Server, users can view the records of provision, shown as below:
