Rev 1.0, 4/12/19 Preface This guide provides information and hints for configuring the Grandstream HandyTone 813 (HT 8 13) to work with Ignition Voice Alarming. The HT813 is a basic telephony appliance with both an FXS port (for a telephone) and an FXO port (for the phone line). While it is not a complete VOIP server, it does support SIP, and can be successfully used to route calls from Ignition to PSTN, through the FXO port.

3. Enable LAN DHCP - N o , although the LAN port likely won’t be used, it is likely not desirable to have the box provide DHCP services if connected to the network. There are no settings on the Advanced Settings panel that must be changed. 3) Configure the FXS Port settings Although the FXS port will not be used, there are several settings that must be changed.

1. Account Active - Y es 2. Primary SIP Server - T he IP address of your Ignition gateway ( Note: since the box will not actually register with Ignition, in a redundant setup it should be sufficient to simply enter the master address) 3.

Create a user in your User Source 2. Assign the user a phone number ( N B : The phone number must be valid for the phone line, as it will be dialed directly.

Troubleshooting Notes ● If the status of the FXS port becomes “Ringing”, the call is not being routed correctly. Verify that all of the settings described in this document are set, and have been correctly Saved. ● In Ignition, you may need to increase the “Answer Timeout” in order to allow more time for the call to be initialized and established.
