Powering and Connecting GSC3516

GSC3516 can be powered on using PoE/PoE+ switch or PoE injector using the following steps:

Step 1: Plug an RJ45 Ethernet cable into the network port of the GSC3516.

Step 2: Plug the other end into the power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector.

Note

It is recommended to use PoE+ power supply to achieve the best audio effect.

Connecting Wiring Seat

GSC3516 support connecting a “Key & LED” or “Normal Key” to the 2-pin port via Wiring Seat.

Step 1: Take the wiring seat from the install kits.

Step 2: Connect the Key & LED or Normal Key with the wiring seat (as shown in the illustration on the right).

Note

This port supports the parallel connection of an incandescent lamp (with less than 1W) or an LED lamp (with less than 100mA).

Accessing the Configuration Interface

A computer connected to the same network as the GSC3516 can discover and access its configuration interface using its MAC address :

  1. Locate the MAC address on the MAC tag of the unit, which is on the underside
    of the device, or on the package.
  2. From a computer connected to the same network as the GSC3516, type in the following address using the GSC3516’s MAC address on your browser: http://gsc_<mac>.local

Example: if a GSC3516 has the MAC address C0:74:AD:11:22:33, this unit can be accessed by typing http://gsc_c074ad112233.local on the browser.

The GSC3516 is not pre-configured to support or make emergency calls to any type of hospital, law enforcement agency, medical care unit (“Emergency Service(s)”) or any other kind of Emergency Service. You must make additional arrangements to access Emergency Services. It is your responsibility to purchase an SIP-compliant Internet telephone service, properly configure the GSC3516 to use that service, and periodically test your configuration to confirm that it works as you expect. It is also your responsibility to purchase traditional wireless or landline telephone services to access Emergency Services.

NEITHER GRANDSTREAM NOR ITS OFFICES, EMPLOYEES, OR AFFILIATES MAY BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGE, OR LOSS, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL SUCH CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE GSC3516 TO CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES, AND YOUR FAILURE TO MAKE ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS TO ACCESS EMERGENCY SERVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH.
