Introduction; Extension Configuration - Grandstream Networks GXE502X User Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Grandstream GXE502X IP-PBX, a SIP-based, affordable,
feature-enriched converging communication platform designed to meet the communication
requirements for small to medium sized enterprises.
The GXE502X provides the cutting-edge IP-based communications that businesses demand
while leveraging existing infrastructure and providing a smooth transition into IP telephony.
Based on open-standard SIP, the GXE502X can easily integrate into and interoperate with
other components of your existing communications network while providing a rich set of
features to reduce costs and increase productivity. Built-in FXO and FXS ports enable the
GXE502X to interface with analog lines and devices while concurrently registering to SIP
trunks and SIP-based trunk gateways to maximize available communications resources. The
PoE capability (LAN port) and low power consumption (15Watt Max.) solidify the GXE as an
environment friendly solution (compared to similar PC based systems). This also ensures non-
stop communication even during power outages (necessary UPS required)
The GXE502X also includes an Express Setup wizard and an intuitive user interface that
allows users to quickly configure extensions. Voicemail, fax mail, faxmail-to-email, conference
bridges and other enhanced features can be turned on with minimal effort via the GXE502X
web configuration interface. The GXE's broad feature set, ease of operation and affordable
price range make it ideal for any SMB.
• Equipment Packaging
The GXE502X IP-PBX package contains:
1) One GXE502X IP-PBX unit
2) One 12 Volt power adapter
3) One Ethernet cable

2. Extension Configuration

Phone Extensions
The front end menu of the GXE web interface is the Phone Extensions menu. This menu and
it's several different sub menus allow users to configure and add extensions with ease.
Extensions for internal users can be created from the Express Setup menu of a factory-
default GXE502X or from the Phone Extensions menu at any time. The extensions can be
local users (shown in Green in the Extensions Directory) in the internal network, or remote
users connecting over the open Internet (shown in Blue in the Extensions Directory). This
flexibility allows GXE502X users to bring their office extensions virtually anywhere that has a
broadband Internet connection. This gives users easy access to personnel (home office and
road warriors alike) without incurring any PSTN toll charges.
