One additional and popular way to use the Hunting Group feature is called “multiplexed analog lines”. In this configuration, a legacy PBX system with 8 FXO trunks can be connected to 8 GXW 42xx ports configured as a Hunting Group. The GXW can be registered to a SIP server provider using only one phone number.
8 is required to indicate that the SIP account tied to port marked as “Active” will be used for all members of the same Hunting group. Needless to say, those members of the same Hunting group may not be sequential ports. In following example ports 3, 5 and 7 tied to SIP Account configured in Port #1 marked as “Active”, and ports 4,6,8 tied to SIP Account configured in Port #2 marked as “Active”...
SENDING AND RECEIVING FAX GXW42XX 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.

CONFIGURATION THROUGH A CENTRAL SERVER Grandstream GXW42XX can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system. When GXW42XX boots up, it will send TFTP or HTTP request to download configuration file, “cfg000b82xxxxxx” or “cfg000b82xxxxxx.xml”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the MAC address of the GXW42XX.

TFTP or HTTP (thus no NAT issues) and other communication protocols to communicate with each individual Grandstream device. Grandstream provides GAPS service to VoIP service providers. Use GAPS for either simple redirection or with certain special provisioning settings. At boot-up, Grandstream devices by default point to Grandstream provisioning server GAPS, based on the unique MAC address of each device, GAPS provision the devices with redirection settings so that they will be redirected to customer’s TFTP or HTTP...
CONFIGURATION GUIDE section for instructions. If the server is in FQDN format, it must be set via the web configuration interface. Grandstream recommends end-user use the Grandstream HTTP server. Its address can be found http://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware . Currently the HTTP firmware server URL is firmware.grandstream.com.
1. Unzip the file and put all of them under the root directory of the TFTP server. 2. Put the PC running the TFTP server and the GXW42XX device in the same LAN segment. 3. TFTP server's security settings should be changed from "Receive Only" to "Transmit Only" for the firmware upgrade.
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. Similarly, Config File Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the configuration file with the matching Prefix and Postfix.
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.
