“hop-on/hop-off” calling using the programmable PSTN FXO port. This HT503 is very easy to manage and configure, and is specifically designed to be an easy to use and affordable VoIP solution for both the residential user and the remote user.
The HT503 has one FXS port and one FXO port. The PHONE port next to the power supply is an FXS port. The LINE port on the back right of the HT503 is an FXO port. Both the FXS port and the FXO port can have a separate SIP account.
Connect the WAN port to the internal LAN network or router. PHONE (RJ-11) FXS port to be connected to analog phones / fax machines. LINE (RJ-11) FXO port should be connected to the PSTN line 2: HT503 LED D ABLE EFINITIONS LEDs POWER LED Indicates Power.
‘road-warriors’ who need advanced call features between traditional PSTN network and IP network. The HT503 enables IP connectivity for any phone or fax using the FXS port and a web- based GUI for easy configuration and installation. It functions as a true FXO gateway that enables remote call origination and termination from/to PSTN and supports the feature of “hop-on/hop-off”...

PERATIONS Understanding HT503 Voice Prompt HT503 has a built-in voice prompt menu for simple device configuration. The voice prompt menu is designed for the FXS port only. To enter the voice prompt menu, press *** from the analog phone connected to the FXS port.
Both HT503 and other VoIP Device are on the same LAN using private IP addresses, or • Both HT503 and other VoIP Device can be connected through a router using public or private IP addresses (with necessary port forwarding or DMZ).
The HT503 also provides CWCID (call waiting caller ID) information which includes caller ID information in addition to the special stutter tone. The analog phone must support this feature for it to work on the HT503. Both call waiting functions (call waiting and CWCID) are activated and deactivated from the configuration pages menu.
“flash” back to talk to B. NOTE: When Attended Transfer fails and A hangs up, the HT503 will ring user A back again to remind A that party B is still on the call. Party A can pick up the phone to resume a conversation with party B.
The special continuous tone is the prompt to enter a valid PIN code. If a caller doesn’t enter a valid PIN, the HT503 times out after 10 seconds. Users may press the “#” key to indicate the end of an input or wait 4 seconds.
VoIP. If an incorrect PIN is input, the continuous tone prompts caller to enter a valid PIN. The caller may try 3 times to enter a valid PIN, if it is invalid the HT503 will hang up.
CO. Fax Support HT503 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 Fax mode to be T.38 (default).
EATURES 6: HT503 C ABLE EATURE EFINITIONS Call Features Block Caller ID (for all subsequent calls) Send Caller ID (for all subsequent calls) Direct IP Calling. Dial “*47” + “IP address”. No dial tone is played in the middle. Detail see Direct IP Calling section on page 12.
Follow Table 4 with voice menu option 01 to enable HT503 to use DHCP. STATIC IP M Follow Table 4 with voice menu option 01 to enable HT503 to use STATIC IP mode, then use option 02, 03, 04 to set up HT503’s IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway respectively.
Configuring HT503 with Web Browser HT503 ATA has an embedded Web server that will respond to HTTP GET/POST requests. It also has embedded HTML pages that allow users to configure the HT503 through a Web browser such as Microsoft’s IE, AOL’s Netscape or Mozilla Firefox installed on Windows or Unix OS. (Macintosh OS is not included).
This shows whether the PPPoE is up if connected to DSL modem This shows what kind of NAT the HT503 is connected to. It is based on STUN protocol. If the detected NAT is symmetric NAT, STUN will not work and Outbound Proxy needed to make HT503 functioning correctly.
• If DHCP mode is enabled, then all the field values for the Static IP mode are not used (even though they are still saved in the Flash memory.) The HT503 will acquire its IP address from DHCP in the network.

VoIP. Enable UPnP When set to “Yes”, the HT503 acts as an UPnP gateway for your UPnP enabled applications. UPnP = “Universal Plug and Play” Reply to ICMP on WAN When set to “Yes”, the HT503 responds to the PING command from other computers,...
IP address or Domain name of the STUN server. Keep-alive interval This parameter specifies how often the HT503 sends a blank UDP packet to the SIP server in order to keep the NAT “pin hole” open. Default is 20 seconds.

60 minutes (or 1 hour). The maximum interval is 65535 minutes (about 45 days). Local SIP port This parameter defines the local SIP port the HT503 will listen and transmit. The default value for FXS port is 5060. Local RTP port This parameter defines the local RTP-RTCP port pair used by the HandyTone ATA.

If the detected NAT is a Full Cone, Restricted Cone, or a Port-Restricted Cone, the HT503 will use its mapped public IP address and port in all of its SIP and SDP messages. If the NAT Traversal field is set to “Yes” with no specified STUN server, the HT503 will periodically (every 20 seconds or so) send a blank UDP packet (with no payload data) to the SIP server to keep the “hole”...

Default is Yes. This value should be used in case the PSTN provider uses line power Disconnect drop to indicate call completion to the end point. In this case the HT503 will search for a power drop for a preconfigured time frame to disconnect such calls from a VoIP extension.
FXS port) before a PSTN incoming call is bridged to VoIP Note: The number of rings feature serves as a PSTN answer delay, and should be set to a larger value to allow enough time for the HT503 to decode the Caller ID signal set by the central office.
Configuration through a Central Server Grandstream HT503 can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system. When HT503 boots up, it will send TFTP or HTTP request to download configuration file, “cfg000b82xxxxxx”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the LAN MAC address of the HT503.
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 HT503 will stop the TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.
If automatic upgrade is enabled, service provider can further customize the behavior and distribute server load by setting hour of the day and/or day of the week for upgrade. Grandstream Networks, Inc. HT503 User Manual Page 36 of 37 Firmware 1.0.1.57...
1. Factory Reset will be disabled if the “Lock keypad update” is set to “Yes”. 2. Please be aware by default the HT503 WAN side HTTP access is disabled. After a factory reset, the device’s web configuration page can be accessed only from its LAN port.
