Programming a Grandstream IP phone
1. Note the IP address that appears on the screen of the Grandstream phone.
2. In a web browser, enter the IP address in the Address field.
3. Enter the password. By default this is admin. When the TalkSwitch unit configures the
phone, it changes the password to 23646 (which spells “admin” on the telephone keypad).
The Grandstream Device Configuration page appears.
4. On the Grandstream Device Configuration page, click Advanced.
5. In the section for Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning, set Upgrade Via to TFTP.
6. If you are setting up an internal IP extension, set Config Server Path to the IP address of the
TalkSwitch unit acting as local proxy. If you are setting up an external IP extension, set
Config Server Path to the public IP address or FQDN of the TalkSwitch system.
7. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Update button to save the settings.
8. On the following screen, click the Reboot button to apply the settings.
Note: The reboot process will be completed when you see the extension number and IP
address on the display of the phone. When the phone successfully registers, you will see the
filled-in Ethernet icon.
9. Test to ensure the phone is configured properly by dialing another local extension.
Further configuration
The steps above will configure your Grandstream IP phone as a local extension. For more
information, refer to the Troubleshooting section in your phone user guide.
See Local Extension/Fax in Chapter 2 of the TalkSwitch User Guide for instructions on configuring
direct line access, hunt group permissions, Caller ID settings (VoIP only), call handling,
and voicemail.
