Alarm Clock

The Alarm Clock enables users to set alarms as reminders or wake-up alerts.
Users can configure the alarm time and activate or deactivate alarms as needed. When the alarm is triggered, the phone will generate an audible alert to notify the user.
This feature is accessible from the Tools menu and is especially useful for scheduling important events or daily reminders.

Stopwatch

The Stopwatch function allows users to measure elapsed time with precision.
It can be used to start, stop, and reset timing sessions, making it suitable for tracking durations of activities or tasks.
The stopwatch is accessed through the Tools menu and operates in real time on the LCD screen.

Timer

The Timer allows users to set a countdown for a specified duration.
Once the timer reaches zero, the phone will notify the user with an alert. Users can add new timers and manage existing ones as needed.
This feature is useful for time-limited tasks and can be accessed from the Tools menu.

Calendar

The Calendar tool helps users organize and manage schedules directly on the phone.
Users can:

• Add new schedules or events
• View and display all created schedules
• Configure calendar settings, such as defining the week start day

The calendar provides a simple way to keep track of appointments and planned activities and is available through the Tools menu on the LCD interface.

The Calendar feature allows the device to display dates, manage local calendar events, handle event reminders, and import or export calendar data using .ics files. Calendar information can be viewed and managed from both the LCD interface and the WEB interface of the WP8x6, with visual indicators highlighting dates that contain events.

The calendar supports local events, subscribed events, reminder notifications, configurable start days of the week, and file-based calendar customization using standard and vendor-specific .ics components.

For more information on how to set up the features, please visit the following guide: WP8x6 Calendar Setup Configuration

UPGRADING AND PROVISIONING/

The WP8x6 can be upgraded via TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/FTPS by configuring the URL/IP Address for the TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/FTPS server and selecting a download method. Configure a valid URL for TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, or FTPS; the server name can be FQDN or IP address.

Examples of valid URLs:

firmware.grandstream.com/BETA

fw.mycompany.com

Upgrade and Provisioning Configuration

There are two ways to set up upgrades and provisioning on WP8x6. They are the Keypad Menu and Web GUI.

Configure via keypad Menu

1. In handset Settings, select Advanced Settings → System Update.
2. From here, you will have two options, either to detect if a new firmware is available by choosing the “detection upgrade” option or roll back to the previous firmware version by clicking “Switching version”

Configure via Web GUI

Open a web browser on a PC and enter the IP address for the handset. Then login with the administrator username and password. Go to Maintenance → Upgrade and Provisioning → Firmware.

On the Upgrade web page, enter the IP address or the FQDN for the upgrade server and choose to upgrade via TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, or FTPS (The default setting is HTTP). Save and apply the changes, press the Save and apply button then reboot the phone to initiate the firmware upgrade process.

Upload Firmware Locally

If there is no HTTP(S)/TFTP/FTP(S) server, users could also upload the firmware to the device directly via Web GUI. Please follow the steps below to upload the firmware locally.

1. Download the latest firmware file from the following link and save it on your PC.

https://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware

2. Log in to the Web GUI as an administrator on the PC.
3. Go to Web GUI Maintenance → Upgrade and Provisioning → Firmware.
4. Click the “Start” button under “Upgrade Firmware”, and a window will be prompted to select the firmware file to upload.
5. Select the firmware file from your PC. Then uploading progress will show on the window.
6. When uploading is done, users can see the upgrading process starts on the device LCD.
7. The phone will reboot again with the new firmware version upgraded.

No Local Firmware Servers

Service providers should maintain their firmware upgrade servers.  For users who do not have a TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/FTPS server, some free Windows version TFTP servers are available for download from:

https://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/free-tftp-server and https://www.tftpd64.com/.

Please check our website at https://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware for the latest firmware.

Instructions for local firmware upgrade via TFTP:

1. Unzip the firmware files and put all of them in the root directory of the TFTP server.
2. Connect the PC running the TFTP server and the device to the same LAN segment.
3. 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.
4. Start the TFTP server and configure the TFTP server in the phone’s web configuration interface.
5. Configure the Firmware Server Path on your device to the IP address of the PC.
6. Update the changes and reboot the device.

End users can also choose to download a free HTTP server from https://httpd.apache.org/ or use a 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 FTP/FTPS. The “Config Server Path” is the TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS, FTP, or 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 1 to 5 (could be extended to more in the future) digit numeric numbers. i.e., P2 is associated with the “Admin Password” in the Web GUI Maintenance → Web Access page. For a detailed parameter list, please refer to the corresponding firmware release configuration template in the following link:

https://www.grandstream.com/support/tools

When the handset boots up, it will issue a TFTP, HTTP(S), or FTP(S) 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 “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml” file is not successful, the provision program will download a generic cfg.xml file. The configuration file name should be in lowercase letters.

For more details on XML provisioning, please refer to the following document:

https://documentation.grandstream.com/knowledge-base/sip-device-provisioning-guide/

REBOOT

Reboot through Device keys

To reboot the WP8x6 using the device’s touch keys, on idle mode, long press the “offhook” key, until the below menu is displayed, then select the reboot option

Reboot via SIP NOTIFY

The device supports controlled reboot behavior upon receiving a SIP NOTIFY message with the header:

Event: Check-Sync

This mechanism allows service providers or SIP servers to remotely trigger a reboot for each individual SIP account, enabling account-level management and provisioning synchronization without manual intervention.

When this feature is enabled, the device listens for valid Check-Sync NOTIFY events associated with the configured SIP account and performs a reboot accordingly.

FACTORY RESET

Restore to Factory Default via LCD Menu

There are two methods to restore the device to the factory default settings.

1. On the handset idle screen, go to Settings → Advanced Settings → Factory reset.
2. In the new window, confirm the reset using the left softkey.

3. Once confirming the factory reset, the device will reboot with the default factory settings.

Restore to Factory Default via the Web GUI

1. Log in to Web GUI and go to Maintenance → Upgrade and Provisioning → Advanced Settings.
2. Click on the Start button in front of the field “Factory Reset” to perform a Factory reset.

3. A dialog box will pop up to confirm the factory reset.

4. Click OK to restore the phone to factory settings.
