Five Success Tips when using the Voice Prompt

  1. “*” shifts down to the next menu option
  2. “#” returns to the main menu
  3. “9” functions as the ENTER key in many cases to confirm an option
  4. All entered digit sequences have known lengths – 2 digits for menu option and 12 digits for IP address. For IP address, add 0 before the digits if the digits are less than 3 (i.e. – 192.168.0.26 should be key in like 192168000026. No decimal is needed).
  5. Key entry cannot be deleted but the phone may prompt error once it is detected

Placing a Phone Call

Phone or Extension Numbers

  1. Dial the number directly and wait for 4 seconds (To change the default value, modify the following setting – “No Key Entry Timeout”)
  2. Or, you may dial the number directly and press # (Use # as dial key” must be configured in web configuration).

Examples: Dial a number (e.g. (626) 666-7890), first enter the prefix number (usually 1+ or international code) followed by the phone number. Press # or wait for 4 seconds. Check with your VoIP service provider for further details on prefix numbers.

Direct IP Calls

Direct IP calling allows two parties, that is, a FXS Port with an analog phone and another VoIP Device, to talk to each other in an ad hoc fashion without a SIP proxy.

Elements necessary to completing a Direct IP Call:

  1. Both GXW42XX and other VoIP Device, have public IP addresses, or
  2. Both GXW42XX and other VoIP Device are on the same LAN using private IP addresses, or
  3. Both GXW42XX and other VoIP Device can be connected through a router using public or private IP addresses (with necessary port forwarding or DMZ).

GXW42XX supports two ways to make Direct IP Calling:

Using IVR

  1. Pick up the analog phone then access the voice menu prompt by dial “***
  2. Dial “047” to access the direct IP call menu
  3. Enter the IP address using format ex. 192*168*0*160 after the dial tone.

Using Star Code

  1. Pick up the analog phone then dial “*47
  2. Enter the target IP address using same format as above.

Note: NO dial tone will be played between step 1 and 2.

Destination ports can be specified by using “*” (encoding for “:”) followed by the port number.

Examples:

  1. If the target IP address is 192.168.0.160, the dialing convention is

*47 or Voice Prompt with option 047, then 192*168*0*160 followed by pressing the “#” key if it is configured as a send key or wait 4 seconds. In this case, the default destination port 5060 is used if no port is specified.

  1. If the target IP address/port is 192.168.1.20:5062, then the dialing convention would be:

*47 or Voice Prompt with option 047, then 192*168*0*160*5062 followed by pressing the “#” key if it is configured as a send key or wait for 4 seconds.

When completing direct IP call, the “Use Random Port” should set to “NO”.

Call Hold

Place a call on hold by pressing the “flash” button on the analog phone (if the phone has that button). Press the “flash” button again to release the previously held Caller and resume conversation. If no “flash” button is available, use “hook flash” (toggle on-off hook quickly). You may drop a call using hook flash.

Call Waiting

Call waiting tone (Repeated short beeps as long as the caller is still calling) indicates an incoming call, if the call waiting feature is enabled. Toggle between incoming call and current call by pressing the “flash” button. First call is placed on hold. Press the “flash” button to toggle between two active calls.

Call Transfer

Blind Transfer

Assume that call Caller A and B are in conversation. “A” wants to Blind Transfer “B” to “C”:

  1. Caller A presses FLASH on the analog phone to hear the dial tone.
  2. Caller A dials *87 then dials caller C’s number, and then # (or wait for 4 seconds).
  3. Caller A will hear the confirm tone. Then, A can hang up.

“Enable Call Feature” must be set to “Yes” in web configuration page.

Caller A can place a call on hold and wait for one of three situations:

  1. A quick confirmation tone (similar to call waiting tone) followed by a dial tone.  This indicates the transfer is successful (transferee has received a 200 OK from transfer target).  At this point, Caller A can either hang up or make another call.
  2. A quick busy tone followed by a restored call (on supported platforms only).  This means the transferee has received a 4xx response for the INVITE and we will try to recover the call.  The busy tone is just to indicate to the transferor that the transfer has failed.
  3. Continuous busy tone.  The phone has timed out. Note:  continuous busy tone does not indicate the transfer has been successful, nor does it indicate the transfer has failed.  It often means there was a failure to receive second NOTIFY – check firmware for most recent release.

Attended Transfer

Assume that Caller A and B are in conversation. Caller A wants to Attend Transfer B to C:

  1. Caller A presses FLASH on the analog phone for dial tone.
  2. Caller A then dials Caller C’s number followed by # (or wait for 4 seconds).
  3. If Caller C answers the call, Caller A and Caller C are in conversation. Then A can hang up to complete transfer.
  4. If Caller C does not answer the call, Caller A can press “flash” to resume call with Caller B.

When Attended Transfer fails and A hangs up, the GXW42XX will ring back user A to remind A that B is still on the call. A can pick up the phone to resume conversation with B.

3-Way Conferencing

The GXW42XX supports Bellcore style 3-way Conference.

Instructions for 3-way conference:

Assuming that call party A and B are in conversation. A (GXW42XX) wants to bring C in a conference:

  1. A presses FLASH (on the analog phone, or Hook Flash for old model phones) to get a dial tone.
  2. A dials C’s number then # (or wait for 4 seconds).
  3. If C answers the call, then A presses FLASH to bring B, C in the conference.
  4. If C does not answer the call, A can press FLASH back to talk to B.
  5. If A presses FLASH during conference, C will be dropped out.
  6. If A hangs up, the conference will be terminated or transfer B to C if “Transfer on Conference Hangup” set to yes

Hunting Group

This feature allows the user to setup a single SIP account on the gateway and have the ability to use all FXS ports to make/receive calls. Using this feature, all ports active in same Hunting Group will have the same phone number and incoming calls will be distributed in a Linear or Circular manner among the ports active in that Hunting Group. The number of hunting groups is limited by the number of ports each GXW model has – i.e. each port can be its own Hunting Group. The most practical and efficient way to use Hunting Groups is to assign 2 or 3 ports to separate Hunting Groups.

One additional and popular way to use the Hunting Group feature is called “multiplexed analog lines”. In this configuration, a legacy PBX system with 8 FXO trunks can be connected to 8 GXW 42xxports configured as a Hunting Group. The GXW can be registered to a SIP server provider using only one phone number. If the SIP service provider allows multiple calls to the same number, the GXW will allow 8 concurrent calls to the same SIP number. All office members can be reached remotely using the same phone number in a round-robin fashion.

Example Configuration of a typical Hunting Group:

  1. Configure the SIP account from your VoIP Service Provider on FXS port 1 under FXS Ports webpage.
  2. Select Active under the Hunting Group drop box for FXS port 1.
  3. For the remaining ports (say 2, 3 and 4) select 1 for Hunting Group. Ports 2, 3 and 4 are now active members of the hunting group associated with port 1.

This configuration will route all calls directed to FXS port 1 to ports 2, 3 and/or 4 in round robin fashion respectively if port 1 is busy or times out. You can configure the ring timeout on the Profile page.

Example configuration of a multiple Hunting Group:

FXS Port #1:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting Group set to “Active

FXS Port #2:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “1

FXS Port #3:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “1

FXS Port #4:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting Group set to “Active

FXS Port #5:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “4

FXS Port #6:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “4

FXS Port #7:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting Group set to “Active

FXS Port #8:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “7

Hunting Group 1 contains ports 1, 2, 3.  Hunting Group 4 contains ports 4, 5, 6. 

Hunting Group 7 contains ports 7, 8.

Please be aware, the choice of 1 for ports 2 and 3, the choice of 4 for ports 5 and 6, the choice 7 for port 8 is required to indicate that the SIP account tied to port marked as “Active” will be used for all members of the same Hunting group. Needless to say, those members of the same Hunting group may not be sequential ports. In following example ports 3, 5 and 7 tied to SIP Account configured in Port #1 marked as “Active”, and ports 4,6,8 tied to SIP Account configured in Port #2 marked as “Active” as well.

Example of not sequential configuration of a multiple Hunting Group:

FXS Port #1:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting Group set to “Active

FXS Port #2:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting Group set to “Active

FXS Port #3:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “1

FXS Port #4:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “2

FXS Port #5:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “1

FXS Port #6:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “2

FXS Port #7:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “1

FXS Port #8:  SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “2

FXS Port #24: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to “2

  • A single call directed to the SIP account will NOT result in all ports ringing at the same time. They will ring in the hunting group only. This feature is applicable to incoming calls only.
  • FXS Name: GXW will use CID name from FXS port initiating the outgoing call if the “Name” field is entered for that specific port.

There are two types of hunting groups, Linear and Circular. Linear style will sort the call to the lowest-numbered available line, this is also called “serial hunting”. Circular style will distribute the calls “round-robin”. If a call is assigned to line 1, the next call goes to 2 and the next to 3. The succession throughout each of the lines continues even if one of the previous lines becomes available. When the end of the hunt group is reached, the hunting starts over at the first line. Lines are skipped if they are still busy on a previous call. These two hunting styles can be configured from the Profile X page.

Inter-Port Calling

In some cases, a user may want to make phone calls between the phones connected to multiple ports of the same gateway when it is used as a standalone unit, without the use of a SIP server. This feature will also be applicable when the gateway is used with Hunting Groups and is registered to SIP server only with one master number. In such cases, users still will be able to make inter-port calls by using the IVR feature.

For example, on the GXW42XX inter-port calling is achieved by dialing *** and 7 plus two extra digits corresponding to the port number. For example, the user connected to port 1 can be reached by dialing *** and 701; the user connected to port 24 can be reached by dialing *** 724.

Sending and Receiving Fax

GXW42XX supports fax in two modes: 1) T.38 (Fax over IP) and 2) Fax Pass through. T.38 is the preferred method because it is more reliable and works well in most network conditions. If the service provider supports T.38, please use this method by selecting T.38 as fax mode (default). If the service provider does not support T.38, pass-through mode may be used. If you have problems with sending or receiving Fax, toggle the Fax Tone Detection Mode setting.

CALL FEATURES

GXW42XX supports the traditional telephony features available in a PBX as well as additional advanced telephony features.

Configuring GXW42XX with Web Browser

The GXW42XX series gateway has an embedded Web server that allows users to configure the GXW42XX through a web browser. It has language support to English, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish.

Access the Web Configuration Menu

The GXW42XX HTML configuration menu can be accessed via Ethernet port:

To access the HTML configuration menu from the Ethernet port:

  1. Follow table 4 to find the Ethernet port IP address.
  2. Open a web browser, type in the IP address – for example: http://GXW42XX -IP-Address (the GXW42XX IP-Address is the Ethernet IP address for the GXW42XX).

The IVR announces 12 digits IP address, you need to strip out the leading “0” in the IP address. For ex. IP address: 192.168.001.014, you need to type in http://192.168.1.14 in the web browser.

Once the HTTP request is entered and sent from a web browser, the user will see a log-in screen. There are two default passwords for the login page:

Saving the Configuration Changes

After user makes a change to the configuration, press the “Update” button in the Configuration Menu. The web browser will then display a message window to confirm saved changes.

Grandstream recommends reboot or power cycle the gateway after saving changes.

Rebooting from Remote

Press the “Reboot” button at the bottom of the configuration menu to reboot the phone remotely. The web browser will then display a message window to confirm that reboot is underway. Wait 30 seconds to log in again.

Configuration through a Central Server

Grandstream GXW42XX can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system.

When GXW42XX boots up, it will send TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS requests to download configuration files, “cfg000b82xxxxxx” and “cfg00082xxxxxx.xml”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the LAN MAC address of the GXW42XX . If the download of “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml” is not successful, the provision program will issue request a generic configuration file “cfg.xml”. Configuration file name should be in lower case letters.

The configuration data can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS from the central server. A service provider or an enterprise with large deployment of GXW42XX can easily manage the configuration and service provisioning of individual devices remotely from a central server.

Grandstream provides a central provisioning system GAPS (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System) to support automated configuration of Grandstream devices. GAPS uses enhanced (NAT friendly) TFTP or HTTP (thus no NAT issues) and other communication protocols to communicate with each individual Grandstream device for firmware upgrade, remote reboot, etc.

Grandstream provides GAPS service to VoIP service providers. Use GAPS for either simple redirection or with certain special provisioning settings. At boot-up, Grandstream devices by default point to Grandstream provisioning server GAPS, based on the unique MAC address of each device, GAPS provision the devices with redirection settings so that they will be redirected to customer’s TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS server for further provisioning.

Grandstream also provides configuration tools (Windows and Linux/Unix version) to facilitate the task of generating device configuration files.  The Grandstream configuration tools are free to end users. The configuration tools and configuration templates are available for download from https://www.grandstream.com/support/tools

SOFTWARE UPGRADE

Software upgrade can be done via either TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS. The corresponding configuration settings are in the ADVANCED SETTINGS configuration page.

Firmware Upgrade through TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS

To upgrade via TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS, the “Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning upgrade via” field needs to be set to TFTP HTTP or HTTPS, respectively. “Firmware Server Path” needs to be set to a valid URL of a TFTP or HTTP server, server name can be in either FQDN or IP address format. Here are examples of some valid URL.

e.g.firmware.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.4.4

e.g.firmware.grandstream.com

Notes:

  • Firmware upgrade server in IP address format can be configured via IVR. Please refer to the CONFIGURATION GUIDE section for instructions. If the server is in FQDN format, it must be set via the web configuration interface.
  • Grandstream recommends end-user use the Grandstream HTTP server. Its address can be found at http://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware. Currently the HTTP firmware server URL is firmware.grandstream.com. For large companies, we recommend to maintain their own TFTP/ HTTP/HTTPS server for upgrade and provisioning procedures.
  • Once a “Firmware Server Path” is set, user needs to update the settings and reboot the device. If the configured firmware server is found and a new code image is available, the GXW will attempt to retrieve the new image files by downloading them into the GXW420x’s SRAM. During this stage, the GXW’s LEDs will blink until the checking/downloading process is completed. Upon verification of checksum, the new code image will then be saved into the Flash. If TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS fails for any reason (e.g. TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS server is not responding, there are no code image files available for upgrade, or checksum test fails, etc.), the GXW will stop the TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.
  • Firmware upgrade may take as long as 15 to 30 minutes over Internet, or just 5 minutes if it is performed on a LAN. It is recommended to conduct firmware upgrade in a controlled LAN environment if possible. For users who do not have a local firmware upgrade server, Grandstream provides a NAT-friendly TFTP server on the public Internet for firmware upgrade.
  • Grandstream’s latest firmware is available http://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware.

Oversea users are strongly recommended to download the binary files and upgrade firmware locally in a controlled LAN environment.

Instructions for Local Firmware Upgrade

  1. Unzip the file and put all of them under the root directory of the TFTP server.
  2. Put the PC running the TFTP server and the GXW42XX device in the same LAN segment.
  3. TFTP server’s security settings should be changed from “Receive Only” to “Transmit Only” for the firmware upgrade.
  4. Configure the Firmware Server Path with the IP address of the PC.
  5. Update the change and reboot the unit.

Configuration File Download

Grandstream SIP Device can be configured via Web Interface as well as via Configuration File through TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS. “Config Server Path” is the TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS server path for configuration file. It needs to be set to a valid URL, either in FQDN or IP address format. The “Config Server Path” can be 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 1 to 3 (Could be extended to 4 in the future) digit numeric numbers. i.e., P2 is associated with “Admin Password” in the ADVANCED SETTINGS page. For a detailed parameter list, please refer to the corresponding firmware release configuration template.

When a Grandstream device boots up or reboots, it will issue a request for a configuration file “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx”, where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the MAC address of the device, i.e., “cfg000b820102ab”. In addition, device will also requests a XML configuration file “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml”. If the download of “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml” is not successful, the provision program will issue a request for a generic configuration file “cfg.xml”. Configuration file name should be in lower case letters.

  • The Only acceptable Config file formats to be used when provisioning are XML or binary.
  • Make sure the MAC header on the Config file is the provisioned device’s MAC address or you can remove the header completely.

Firmware and Configuration File Prefix and Postfix

Firmware Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the firmware name with the matching Prefix and Postfix. This makes it possible to store ALL of the firmwares with different version in one single directory. Similarly, Config File Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the configuration file with the matching Prefix and Postfix. Thus, multiple configuration files for the same device can be stored in one directory.

In addition, when the field “Check New Firmware only when F/W pre/suffix changes” is selected, the device will only issue firmware upgrade request if there are changes in the firmware Prefix or Postfix.

Managing Firmware and Configuration File Download

When “Automatic Upgrade” is set to “Yes”, Service Provider can use P193 to have the devices periodically check with either Firmware Server or Config Server, whenever they are defined. This allows the device periodically check whether there is any new changes need to be taken, similar to the Anti-Virus Software to upgrade the Virus Definition files. Screenshot is below:

Automatic Upgrade:
