(For example: proxy.myprovider.com, IPv4: 192.168.5.170, or IPv6: fe80::20b:82ff:fe75:211d). It’s Used by HT818 for firewall or NAT penetration in different network environments. If symmetric NAT is detected, STUN will not work and only outbound proxy can correct the problem

Backup Outbound Proxy

Configures the backup outbound proxy to be used when the “Outbound Proxy” registration fails. (For example: proxy.myprovider.com, or IP address, if any: IPv4: 192.168.5.170/ IPv6: fe80::20b:82ff:fe75:211d). By default, this field is left empty.

Prefer Primary Outbound Proxy

If the user configures this option to “Yes”, when the registration expires, the device will re-register via primary outbound proxy. By default, this option is disabled.

From Domain

allows users to add the actual domain name, it will override the from header.This is an optional configuration.

Allow DHCP Option 120 (override SIP Server)

SIP transport

Selects transport protocol for SIP packets; UDP or TCP or TLS. Please make sure your SIP Server or network environment supports SIP over the selected transport method. Default is UDP.

SIP URI Scheme When Using TLS

Specifies if “sip” or “sips” will be used when TLS/TCP is selected for SIP Transport. The default setting is “sips”.

Use Actual Ephemeral Port in Contact with TCP/TLS

Controls the port information in the Via header and Contact header. If set to “No”, these port numbers will use the permanent listening port on the phone. Otherwise, they will use the ephemeral port for the connection. Default is No.

NAT Traversal

Indicates type of NAT for each account. This parameter configures whether the NAT traversal mechanism is activated. Users could select the mechanism from No, Keep-alive, STUN, UPnP, VPN, and Auto.

  • No: Disables NAT traversal, potentially causing connection issues for the ATA if it's behind a NAT router.

  • Keep-alive: Periodically sends signals to maintain the NAT mapping for the ATA, preventing disconnection.

  • STUN: Utilizes the STUN protocol to discover and adapt to NAT settings for seamless VoIP communication.

  • UPnP: Allows the ATA to dynamically configure NAT port mappings, streamlining VoIP traffic.

  • VPN: Requires the ATA to establish a secure VPN connection for VoIP, bypassing NAT restrictions.

  • Auto: Automatically selects the most suitable NAT traversal method based on network conditions, ensuring reliable ATA connectivity.

Default setting is No.

DNS Mode

Selects DNS mode to use for the client to look up server. One mode can be chosen.

A Record (Default): resolves IP Address of target according to domain name.

SRV: DNS SRV resource records indicate how to find services for various protocols.

NAPTR/SRV: Naming Authority Pointer according to RFC 2915.

Use Configured IP: If the SIP server is configured as domain name, device will not send DNS queries, but will use “Primary IP” or “Backup IP” to send SIP message if at least one of them is not empty. It will try to use “Primary IP” first, after 3 tries without any response, it will switch to “Backup IP 1”, then “Backup IP 2”, and then it will switch back to “Primary IP” after 3 retries.

DNS SRV use Registered IP

When the HT81x is registered using the second SRV record, making an outbound call, it will try the second SRV (registered IP) first. By default, this option is disabled and the DNS SRV will use first SRV instead of the registered IP.

DNS SRV Failover Mode

Configure the preferred IP mode when DNS Mode is SRV or NAPTR/SRV.

• Default SIP request will always be sent to the address with the top priority based on the SRV query result, even if this address is different from the registered IP address.

• Saved one until DNS TTL SIP request will always be sent to the registered IP address until DNS TTL expires or registered IP address is unreachable

• Saved on until no response SIP request will always be sent to the registered IP address only until registered IP address is unreachable.

Failback Timer

When the primary SBC is up, device will send SIP requests to the primary SBC. If at any point device fails over to the secondary SBC, the SIP requests will stay on the failover SBC for the duration of the failback timer. When the timer expires, device will send SIP requests to the primary SBC, (in minutes. Default is 60 minutes, max 45 days).

Register before DNS SRV Failover

This feature is used to control whether the device need to initiate a new registration request (following existing DNS SRV fail-over mode) first and then direct the non-registration SIP request (INVITE) to the new successfully registered server or not.

TEL URI

Indicates E.164 number in “From” header by adding “User=Phone” parameter or using “Tel:” in SIP packets, if the HT81x has an assigned PSTN Number.

Disabled: Use “SIP User ID” information in the Request-Line and “From” header.

User=Phone: “User=Phone” parameter will be attached to the Request-Line and “From” header in the SIP request to indicate the E.164 number. If set to “Enable”.

Enabled: “Tel:” will be used instead of “sip:” in the SIP request.

Please consult your carrier before changing this parameter. Default is Disabled.

Use Request Routing ID in SIP INVITE Header

If set to Yes, device will use the configured [Request URI Routing ID] in the SIP INVITE. This option is usually used under a SIP trunk account’s configuration. Default is No.

SIP Registration

Controls whether the HT81x needs to send REGISTER messages to the proxy server. Default setting is Yes.

Unregister on Reboot

Controls whether to clear SIP user’s information by sending un-register request to the proxy server. The un-registration is performed by sending a REGISTER message with “Expires=0” parameter to the SIP server. This will unregister the SIP account under the concerned FXS page.Unregister on reboot option can be set to "No", "All" or "Instance".

  • Set to "No": If the "Unregister on reboot" option is set to "No", it means that the SIP user's information will not be cleared when the device reboots. In other words, the SIP account will remain registered with the server even after the device is rebooted.

  • Set to "All": If the "Unregister on reboot" option is set to "All", it means that all SIP accounts associated with the device will be unregistered when the device reboots. This option clears the SIP user's information for all the FXS ports on the device.

  • Set to "Instance": If the "Unregister on reboot" option is set to "Instance", it means that only the SIP account associated with the concerned FXS port will be unregistered when the device reboots. This option clears the SIP user's information for only the specific FXS port that is affected by the reboot.

Default value is set to "No"

Dial Plan

Dial Plan Rules:

1. Accept Digits: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 , *, #, A,a,B,b,C,c,D,d

2. Grammar: x – any digit from 0-9;

a. xx+ – at least 2 digits number;

b. xx – exactly 2 digits number;

c. ^ – exclude;

d. . – wildcard, matches one or more characters

e. [3-5] – any digit of 3, 4, or 5;

f. [147] – any digit 1, 4, or 7;

g. <2=011> – replace digit 2 with 011 when dialing

h. <=1> – add a leading 1 to all numbers dialed, vice versa will remove a 1 from the number dialed

i. | – or

j. Flag T when adding a “T” at the end of the dial plan, the phone will wait for 3 seconds before dialing out. This gives users more flexibility on their dial plan setup. E.g. with dial plan 1XXT, phone will wait for 3 seconds to let user dial more than just 3 digits if needed. Originally the phone will dial out immediately after dialing the third digit.

Example 1: {[369]11 | 1617xxxxxxx} –

Allow 311, 611, 911, and any 10-digit numbers of leading digits 1617

Example 2: {^1900x+ | <=1617>xxxxxxx} –

Block any number with leading digits 1900 and add prefix 1617 for any dialed 7-digit numbers

Example 3: {1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx | <2=011>x+} –

Allow any length of number with leading digit 2 and 10 digit-numbers of leading digit 1 and leading exchange number between 2 and 9; If leading digit is 2, replace leading digit 2 with 011 before dialing.

1. Default: Outgoing – { x+ | +x+ | *x+ | *xx*x+ }

Example of a simple dial plan used in a Home/Office in the US:

{ ^1900x. | <=1617>[2-9]xxxxxx | 1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx | 011[2-9]x. | [3469]11 }

Explanation of example rule (reading from left to right):

^1900x. – prevents dialing any number started with 1900

<=1617>[2-9]xxxxxx – allows dialing to local area code (617) numbers by dialing 7 numbers and 1617 area code will be added automatically

1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx – allows dialing to any US/Canada Number with 11 digits length

011[2-9]x. – allows international calls starting with 011

[3469]11 – allow dialing special and emergency numbers 311, 411, 611 and 911

Note: In some cases, user wishes to dial strings such as *123 to activate voice mail or other application provided by service provider. In this case * should be predefined inside dial plan feature. An example dial plan will be: { *x+ } which allows the user to dial * followed by any length of numbers.

Hunting Group

Configures hunting group feature on the specific port.

For example: Port 1, 2, and 3 are members of the same Hunting Group. Port 1 is registered with a SIP account. Ports 2, and 3 are not registered. Ports 2 and 3 will be able to place outbound calls using the SIP account of port 1. Select appropriate value for Hunting Group feature. The original SIP account should be set to Active while the group members should be set to the port number of the Active Port.

Example configuration of a 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 “None”

Hunting Group 1 contains ports 1, 2, 3. FXS port 4 is registered but it is not added to the Hunting Group 1.

Note: HT818 will use CID name from FXS port initiating the outgoing call if the “Name” field is entered for that specific port.

Request URI Routing ID

If configured, device will route the incoming call to designated port by request URI user ID in SIP INVITE.

Enable Port

Enables / Disables the port

Off hook Auto-Dial

Configures a User ID or extension number that is automatically dialed when off-hook. Only the user part of a SIP address needs is entered here. The HT818 will automatically append the “@” and the host portion of the corresponding SIP address.

Important Settings

NAT Settings

If you plan to keep the Handy Tone within a private network behind a firewall, we recommend using STUN Server. The following three settings are useful in the STUN Server scenario:

  1. STUN Server (under advanced settings webpage) enter a STUN server IP (or FQDN) that you may have, or look up a free public STUN server on the internet and enter it on this field. If using public IP, keep this field blank.
  2. Use random SIP/RTP ports (under advanced settings webpage), this setting depends on your network settings. Generally, if you have multiple IP devices under the same network, it should be set to Yes. If using a public IP address, set this parameter to No.
  3. NAT traversal (under the FXS web page), set this to Yes when gateway is behind firewall on a private network.

DTMF Methods

The HT818 supports the following DTMF mode:

  • DTMF in-audio
  • DTMF via RTP (RFC2833)
  • DTMF via SIP INFO

Set priority of DTMF methods according to your preference. This setting should be based on your server DTMF setting.

Preferred Vocoder (Codec)

The HT818 support following voice codecs. On Profile pages, choose the order of your favorite codecs:

  • PCMU/A (or G711µ/a)
  • G729 A/B
  • G723.1
  • G726
  • iLBC
  • OPUS
  • G722

Configuring HT818 through Voice Prompts

Configuration through a Central Server

The HT818 can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system. When HT818 boots up, it will send TFTP, HTTP/HTTPS or FTP/FTPS requests to download configuration files, “cfg000b82xxxxxx” and “cfg00082xxxxxx.xml”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the LAN MAC address of the HT818. 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, HTTP/HTTPS or FTP/FTPS from the central server. A service provider or an enterprise with large deployment of HT818 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 HTTPS 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, HTTP/HTTPS or FTP/FTPS 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

HT818 Call Features

Information Capture

Information Capture involves intercepting a secret key information file during the TLS handshake between the HT8xx and a SIP server for the purpose of extracting the secret key information file during the TLS handshake, the file downloaded is a .txt file including the client secret key.

The process includes initiating capture, re-registering the HT8xx with TLS to a SIP server, waiting for a SIP Register request, and then stopping the capture. The goal is to extract the secret key information file, to do that please follow the below steps described below:

  • Start capturing the communication between the HT8xx and the server. to do that go to Advanced settings => Information capture, make sure “With Secret Key information” is set to Yes
  • Re-register the HT8xx account or port to the SIP server using the TLS protocol.
  • Allow the system to wait until the ATA sends a SIP Register request to the server.
  • Once the SIP Register request is sent, stop capturing the communication.
  • You have the possibility to now download the secret key.
  • After completing the above steps, the expectation is that the captured data will include the secret key information file in a .txt file under the name “sslkeylogfile”

The extracted key gives you the possibility to decrypt the secured communication between the HT8xx and the SIP server.

Important

Please use Information capture only when authorized since extracting secret key information without proper authorization is considered unethical.

Rebooting HT818 from Remote

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

  6. Save and Apply the changes and reboot the HT818.

End users can also choose to download a free HTTP server from http://httpd.apache.org/ or use Microsoft IIS web server.

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 the possible to store all the firmware 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 set to “Yes”, the device will only issue firmware upgrade request if there are changes in the firmware Prefix or Postfix.

When “Automatic Upgrade” is set “Yes, every” the auto check will be done in the minute specified in this field. If set to “daily at hour (0-23)”, Service Provider can use P193 (Auto Check Interval) to have the devices do a daily check at the hour set in this field with either Firmware Server or Config Server. If set to “weekly on day (0-6)” the auto check will be done on the day specified in this field. This allows the device periodically to check if there are any new changes need to be taken on a scheduled time. By defining different intervals in P193 for different devices, Server Provider can spread the Firmware or Configuration File download in minutes to reduce the Firmware or Provisioning Server load at any given time

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, HTTP/HTTPS or FTP/FTPS. The Config Server Path is the TFTP, HTTP/HTTPS or FTP/FTPS 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 “New Password” in the Web GUI->Maintenance->Web/SSH Access page->Admin Password. For a detailed parameter list, please refer to the corresponding firmware release configuration template.

When the HT818 boots up or reboots, it will send a request to download the xml file named “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml” followed by the binary file named “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx”, where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the MAC address of the phone, i.e., “cfg000b820102ab” and “cfg000b820102ab.xml”. If the download of “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml” file is not successful, the provision program will download a generic cfg.xml file and then download cfg<Model>.xml. The configuration file name should be in lower case letters.

HT818 supports DHCP option 67allowing to provide custom name for the provisioning file. If DHCP option 67 is used, the following file download sequence will be applied:

Step 1: cfg<MAC>

Step 2: <option 67 bootfile> →cfg<MAC>.xml →cfg.xml→cfg<Model>.xml

Notes:

1. The Only acceptable Config file formats to be used when provisioning are XML or binary.

2. Make sure the MAC header on the Config file is the provisioned device’s MAC address or you can remove the header completely.

For more details on XML provisioning, please refer to:

RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS

Restoring the Factory Default Settings will delete all configuration information on the phone. Please backup or print all the settings before you restore to the factory default settings. Grandstream is not responsible for restoring lost parameters and cannot connect your device to your VoIP service provider.

There are three (3) methods for resetting your unit:

Using the Reset Button

To reset default factory settings using the reset button please follow the steps above:

  1. Unplug the Ethernet cable.
  2. Locate the reset hole on the back panel of your HT818.
  3. Insert a pin in this hole and press for about 7 seconds.
  4. Take out the pin. All unit settings are restored to factory settings

Using the IVR Command

Reset default factory settings using the IVR prompt:

  1. Dial “***” for voice prompt.
  2. Enter “99” and wait for “reset” voice prompt.
  3. Enter the encoded MAC address (Look below on how to encode MAC address).
  4. Wait 15 seconds and device will automatically reboot and restore factory settings.

Encode the MAC Address

  1. Locate the MAC address of the device. It is the 12-digit HEX number on the bottom of the unit.
  2. Key in the MAC address. Use the following mapping:

Key

Mapping

0-9

0-9

A

22 (press the “2” key twice, “A” will show on the LCD)

B

222

C

2222

D

33 (press the “3” key twice, “D” will show on the LCD)

E

333

F

3333

MAC Address Key Mapping

For example: if the MAC address is 000b8200e395, it should be keyed in as “0002228200333395”

Reset from Web Interface (Reset Type)

  1. Access your HT818 UI by entering its IP address in your favorite browser.
  2. Enter your admin password (default: admin).
  3. Press Login to access your settings.
  4. Go to Basic Settings 🡪 Reset Type
  5. Press Reset button (after selecting the reset type).

Full Reset: This will make a full reset

ISP Data: This will reset only the basic settings, like IP mode, PPPoE and Web port

VOIP Data Reset: This will reset only the data related with a service provider like SIP server, sip user ID, provisioning and others.

  • Factory Reset will be disabled if the “Lock keypad update” is set to “Yes”.
  • If the HT818 were previously locked by your local service provider, pressing the RESET button will only restart the unit. The device will not return to factory default settings.

Reset using SIP NOTIFY

  1. Access your HT818 UI by entering its IP address in your favorite browser.
  2. Go to Profile # page.
  3. Set “Allow SIP Factory Reset” to “Yes”. (Default is No)
  4. Once a SIP NOTIFY with “event: reset” is received, the ATA will perform factory reset.

Received SIP NOTIFY will be first challenged for authentication purpose before taking factory reset action. The authentication can be done either using admin credentials (if no SIP account is configured) or using SIP account credentials.
