PLACING A PHONE CALL PHONE OR EXTENSION NUMBERS 1. Dial the number directly and wait for 4 seconds (To change the default value, modify the following setting - “No Key Entry Timeout”) 2. Dial the number directly and press # (Use # as dial key” must be configured in web configuration). Examples: 1.
Note: NO dial tone will be played between step 1 and 2. Destination ports can be specified by using “*” (encoding for “:”) followed by the port number. Examples: a) If the target IP address is 192.168.0.160, the dialing convention is *47 or Voice Prompt with option 47, then 192*168*0*160.
4. Caller A dials *87 then dials caller C’s number, and then # (or wait for 4 seconds). 5. Caller A will hear the dial tone. Then, A can hang up. NOTE: “Enable Call Feature” must be set to “Yes” in web configuration page. ATTENDED TRANSFER Assume that Caller A and B are in conversation.
HUNTING GROUP This feature allows the user to setup a single SIP account on the gateway and have the ability to use all FXS ports to make/receive calls. Using this feature, all ports active in same Hunting Group will have the same phone number and incoming calls will be distributed in a Linear or Circular manner among the ports active in that Hunting Group.

TFTP or HTTP (thus no NAT issues) 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.
GXW will attempt to retrieve the new image files by downloading them into the GXW400x ’s SRAM. During this stage, the GXW’s LEDs will blink until the checking/downloading process is completed. Upon verification of checksum, the new code image will then be saved into the Flash.
When a Grandstream device boots up or reboots, it will issue a request for a configuration file “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx”, where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the MAC address of the device, i.e., “cfg000b820102ab”. In addition, device will also requests a XML configuration file “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml”.
For more details on Grandstream Device provisioning, please refer to: http://www.grandstream.com/general/gs_provisioning_guide_public.pdf 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 possible to store ALL of the firmwares with different version in one single directory.
Restoring the Factory Default Setting will DELETE all configuration information of the phone. Please BACKUP or PRINT out all the settings before you approach to following steps. Grandstream will not take any responsibility if you lose all the parameters of setting and cannot connect to your VoIP service provider.
