4.4 Making and Answering Phone Calls
4.4.1 Handset, Speakerphone and Headset Mode

The regular Handset mode can be switched with either the Speaker mode (Hand free) or
the Headset mode, however, whenever the Headset is plugged in, Speaker mode will be
switched to the Headset mode automatically.

To Switch between Handset and Speaker/Headset, simply press the Hook Flash in the
Handset cradle or the Speaker button.

4.4.2 Multiple SIP Accounts and Lines

GXP-2000 can support up to 4 independent SIP accounts. Each account is capable of

independent SIP Server, user and NAT settings among others. GXP-2000 supports up to
11 concurrent audio channels arbitrarily assigned to these SIP accounts -- they can be
used in any combination as long as the server allows it. Speed dial numbers configured
must be associated to a specific SIP account.

Each of the 4 LINE buttons (LINE1-LINE4) is “virtually” mapped to each SIP

account. In off hook state, when user chooses an idle line, the name of the account (as
configured in the web interface) will be displayed in the LCD while a dial tone is being
played out. For example, if the 4 SIP accounts are named FWD, SIPPHONE,
BROADVOICE, and PBX respectively and they are all active and registered. When
LINE1 is pressed, user will hear dial tone and see “FWD”. When LINE2 is pressed, user
will hear dial tone and see “SIPPHONE”. When LINE3 is pressed, user will hear dial
tone and see “BROADVOICE”. When LINE4 is pressed, user will hear dial tone and see
“PBX”.

For outgoing calls, GXP-2000 will pick up the LINE pressed, which will be lit up in solid
red color. User can switch the dialing account before dialing any digits by pressing the
same LINE button one or more times. If user continues to press one LINE, the selected
account will circulate among the registered accounts. For example, when LINE1 is
pressed, LCD displays “FWD”. If LINE1 is pressed again, LCD displays “SIPPHONE”
and the subsequent call will be made through SIP account 2.

For incoming calls, if an account is configured and registered, all incoming calls for that
account will attempt to use its corresponding LINE if it is not in use. When the

15
“virtually” mapped line is in use, GXP-2000 will flash the next available LINE (from
Left to Right, then Top to Bottom) in red color.

LINE 5 to 11 cannot be picked like LINE 1 to 4. This happens automatically. When an

incoming call arrives while all of the 4 LINE (1-4) channels are in use, LINE5 will be
selected. When all 4 LINE (1-4) channels are in use, and user places an active call on
hold, user can on-hook and off-hook to activate the next available channel (LINE5 or
whatever the next one). When any one of the 7 functions keys are associated with a call,
they function as LINE keys; otherwise they function as speed dial keys. (So when LINE
5 is in use, you cannot use speed dial 1, but speed dial 2-7 still work).

A LINE is defined as “ACTIVE” when it is making or receiving a call, and its

corresponding LINE LED is lit up in solid RED.

4.4.3 Making Calls

There are three ways to make phone calls:

1. Make Handset/SPEAKER/Headset off hook, or press the available LINE key to

select a SIP account, the corresponding LINE LED will light up in solid red. Enter
the phone numbers and press the SEND key.

2. Make Handset/SPEAKER/Headset off hook, or press the available LINE key, the
corresponding LINE LED will light up in solid red. Press the SEND button to
redial the last number called.

3. Make Handset/SPEAKER/Headset off hook, or press the available LINE key, the
corresponding LINE LED will light up in solid red. Press the Speed Dial key to
call the preset calling party number.

4. Press the DOWN button, then select the number in the Phone Book menu you
want to call by pressing the Menu button, and then press the Menu button again to
call this number.

5. Press the UP button, then select the number in the Missed Calls you want to call
by pressing the Menu button, and then press the Menu button again to call this
number.

Note:
• Once pressed, the dialed number is displayed on the LCD as the corresponding
DTMF tone is played out.
• If the “SEND” button is not pressed after the phone number, the phone will wait
for 4 seconds before initiating the call.

16
4.4.4 Making Calls using IP Address

Direct IP calling allows two phones to talk to each other in an ad hoc fashion without a
SIP proxy. VoIP calls can be made between two phones if

• Both phones have public IP addresses, or

• Both phones are on a same LAN using private or public IP addresses, or
• Both phones can be connected through a router using public or private IP
addresses.

To make a direct IP calling, disable “Use Random Port” option at advanced web
configuration page, and then press “Menu” button, and then select “Direct IP Call”
submenu to enter the direct IP call interface, and then enter the 12-digit target IP address,
and then press Menu button twice to make the call.
From 1.1.0.13 firmware build, GXP2000 begins to offer Quick IP-call feature: first make
Handset/SPEAKER/Headset off hook, and then press # key and enter the last 3-digits of
the target IP address, and then press the SEND key or # key. To use this feature, you need
to enable Quick IP-call mode in the advanced web configuration page.

4.4.5 Receiving Calls

There are two states when GXP-2000 receives a call:

1. When receiving an initial call. Besides ringing with selected Ring Tone, the
corresponding account LINE will flash in red, taking Handset/SPEAKER/Headset
off hook will enable user to hear the calling party in Handset/SPEAKER/Headset.

2. When receiving second or more incoming calls, besides playing stutter Call
Waiting tone, GXP-2000 will pick up the corresponding account LINE or the next
available LINE as described in section 4.4.2.

4.4.6 Call Hold

While in conversation, pressing the “HOLD” button will put the other party on hold. User
can resume the conversation by pressing the corresponding LINE. User will also
automatically put the current line on “HOLD” by pressing another available LINE for
making or receiving other phone calls.

4.4.7 Call Waiting and Switch between Calls

GXP-2000 can support up to 11 Lines, user can switch to another line for making or
answering calls and automatically put an ACTIVE call on Hold.

17
When receiving second or more incoming calls, besides playing a stutter Call Waiting
tone, GXP-2000 will pick up the corresponding account or the next available LINE as
described in section 4.4.2.

4.4.8 Call Transfer

GXP-2000 supports both BLIND and ATTENDED Transfer:

1. Blind Transfer: When a LINE is “ACTIVE”, user will get a dial tone by pressing
the “TRNF” button, then dial the number and press the “SEND” button, this will
transfer the other party in the corresponding LINE to the dialed number.

2. Attended Transfer: When in conversation with an “ACTIVE” LINE as defined in

section 4.3.2, user shall press “TRNF” button, then press the intended LINE that
is on “HOLD”.
If there is no LINE on HOLD, user will need to make a call and thus
automatically puts the current ACTIVE LINE on HOLD.

NOTE:

• Transferring calls across SIP domains needs to be supported by SIP services.

4.4.9 3-Way Conferencing

GXP-2000 supports 3-way conferencing. With one LINE ACTIVE and another LINE on
HOLD, press the CONF button then the LINE that is on HOLD will join the three parties
together in a conference.

If after pressing the “CONF” button, a user decides not to conference anyone; user can
cancel it and resume the conversation by pressing CONF or the original LINE button.

If the conference holder wishes to end a conference, simply press HOLD, which breaks
the conference and places both parties on hold. User can then talk to each individual
party by selecting the corresponding LINE.

4.4.10 Checking Message and Message Waiting Indication

When GXP-2000 is on-hook, pressing the MSG button will trigger the phone to call the
VM Server (VMS) configured for the primary account. If a line/account is selected first,
it dials the VMS configured for that account.

18
The MWI (Message Waiting Indicator) LED will flash in red color in three quarters of a
second when voicemail server sends message waiting information to GXP-2000.

4.4.11 Mute and Delete

When in conversation with an ACTIVE LINE, pressing “MUTE/DEL” will mute the
conversation, that is, you can hear the other party but the other party cannot hear you.
Pressing the button again will resume the conversation.

When dialing a number, press “MUTE/DEL” will delete the last entered digit.

4.4.12 Speed Dial

There are 7 speed dial buttons; each can be configured with a different account to dial. A
vertical rectangle pad on the keypad is provided to label Speed Dial numbers.

When an incoming call arrives while all of the 4 LINE (1-4) channels are in use, the
speed dial buttons will be selected as LINE indicators. When any one of the 7 functions
keys is associated with a call, they function as LINE keys; otherwise they function as
speed dial keys. (So when LINE 5 is in use, you cannot use speed dial 1, but speed dial
2-7 still work).

4.5 Call Features

IP Address There are two modes under which the GXP-2000 can
operate:
• 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 GXP-
2000 will acquire its IP address from the first DHCP
server it discovers from the LAN it is connected.
• To use the PPPoE feature the PPPoE account
settings need to be set. The GXP-2000 will attempt to
establish a PPPoE session if any of the PPPoE fields
is set.
• If Static IP mode is enabled, then the IP address,
Subnet Mask, Default Router IP address, DNS
Server 1 (primary), DNS Server 2 (secondary) fields
will need to be configured. These fields are set to
zero by default.
Speed Dial There are 7 speed dial fields that can be configured:
• Name field is used to identify the person. It will be
displayed on LCD when pressing the corresponding
key.
• UserID field is the number configured.
• Account field is the SIP account associated with the
number.

Asterisk BLF Asterisk Busy Line Field feature needs the support of
Asterisk PBX. Please check Asterisk for more details.
Time Zone This parameter controls how the date/time is displayed
according to the specified time zone.

Daylight Savings Time This parameter controls whether the time will be displayed
in daylight savings time or not. If set to “Yes”, then the
displayed time will be 1 hour ahead of normal time.

LCD Backlight Always On Allow user to keep the LCD backlight on all the time.
Default is No.
Time Display Format LCD time display in 12 hour or 24 hour format

Date Display Format Allow user to choose among the following three formats:
Year-Month-Day
Month-Day-Year
Day-Month-Year
Display Clock instead of Date LCD displays clock if set to “Yes”. Default is No.

28
Device Mode This parameter controls whether the device is working in
NAT router mode or Bridge mode. Need save the setting
and reboot the device before the setting start to work.

WAN side http access If set to “Yes”, user can access the configuration page
through the WAN port, instead of connecting PC and
GXP2000 through the “PC” port to do the configuration.
On the other hand, it exposes the GXP2000 to others, and
may cause some security issues for users. Default is No.

Reply to ICMP on WAN port If set to “Yes”, The GXP2000 will respond to the PING
command from other computers for testing, but it also is
vulnerable to the DOS attack. Default is No.

Cloned WAN MAC Addr Allow the user to set a specific MAC address. Set in Hex
format.
LAN Subnet Mask Sets the LAN subnet mask. Default value is 255.255.255.0

LAN DHCP Base IP Base IP for the LAN port, which function as a Gateway for
the subnet.
Default value is 192.168.2.1.
DHCP IP Lease Time Value is set in units of hours. Default value is 120hr (5
Days.) The time IP address is assigned to the LAN clients.

DMZ IP Forward all WAN IP traffic to a specific IP address if no

matching port is used by HandyTone-486 itself or in the
defined port forwarding.

Port Forwarding Allow the user to forward a matching (TCP/UDP) port to a

specific LAN IP address with a specific (TCP/UDP) port.

Allow DHCP Option 2 to DHCP Option 2 specifies the offset of the client's subnet in
override Time Zone setting seconds from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The
offset is expressed as a two's complement 32-bit integer. A
positive offset indicates a location east of the zero meridian
and a negative offset indicates a location west of the zero
meridian. If you choose yes, GXP2000 will use the time
offset resolved from DHCP, instead of the one you specified
in the "Time Zone" option above.

In addition to the Basic Settings configuration page, end user also has access to the

Admin Administrator password. Only administrator can configure the

Password “Advanced Settings” page. Password field is purposely left blank for
security reason after clicking update and saved. The maximum
password length is 25 characters.

Silence This controls the silence suppression/VAD feature of G723 and G729.
Suppression If set to “Yes”, when a silence is detected, small quantity of VAD
packets (instead of audio packets) will be sent during the period of no
talking. If set to “No”, this feature is disabled.

Voice Frames This field contains the number of voice frames to be transmitted in a
per TX single packet. When setting this value, the user should be aware of the
requested packet time (used in SDP message) as a result of configuring
this parameter. This parameter is associated with the first vocoder in
the above vocoder Preference List or the actual used payload type
negotiated between the 2 conversation parties at run time.
e.g., if the first vocoder is configured as G723 and the “Voice Frames
per TX” is set to be 2, then the “ptime” value in the SDP message of an
INVITE request will be 60ms because each G723 voice frame contains
30ms of audio. Similarly, if this field is set to be 2 and if the first
vocoder chosen is G729 or G711 or G726, then the “ptime” value in
the SDP message of an INVITE request will be 20ms.
If the configured voice frames per TX exceeds the maximum allowed
value, the GXP-2000 will use and save the maximum allowed value for
the corresponding first vocoder choice. The maximum value for PCM
is 10(x10ms) frames; for G726, it is 20 (x10ms) frames; for G723, it is
32 (x30ms) frames; for G729/G728, 64 (x10ms) and 64 (x2.5ms)
frames respectively.

33
Layer 3 QoS This field defines the layer 3 QoS parameter which can be the value
used for IP Precedence or Diff-Serv or MPLS. Default value is 48.

Layer 2 QoS This contains the value used for layer 2 VLAN tag. Default setting is
blank.

No Key Entry Default is 4 seconds.

Timeout

Use # as This parameter allows users to configure the “#” key to be used as the
Send Key “Send” (or “Dial”) key. If set to “Yes”, pressing this key will
immediately trigger the sending of dialed string collected so far. In this
case, this key is essentially equivalent to the “(Re)Dial” key. If set to
“No”, this “#” key will then be included as part of the dial string to be
sent out.

Local RTP port This parameter defines the local RTP-RTCP port pair the GXP-2000
will listen and transmit. It is the base RTP port for channel 0. When
configured, channel 0 will use this port _value for RTP and the
port_value+1 for its RTCP; channel 1 will use port_value+2 for RTP
and port_value+3 for its RTCP. The default value is 5004.

Use Random This parameter, when set to Yes, will force random generation of both
Port the local SIP and RTP ports. This is usually necessary when multiple
GXP-2000s are behind the same NAT.

Keep-alive This parameter specifies how often the GXP-2000 sends a blank UDP
interval packet to the SIP server in order to keep the “hole” on the NAT open.
Default is 20 seconds.

Use NAT IP NAT IP address used in SIP/SDP message. Default is blank.

STUN Server IP address or Domain name of the STUN server.

Firmware This radio button will enable GXP-2000 to download firmware or

Upgrade and configuration file through either TFTP or HTTP.
provisioning

34
Via TFTP This is the IP address of the configured TFTP server. If selected and it
Server is non-zero or not blank, the GXP-2000 will attempt to retrieve new
configuration file or new code image from the specified TFTP server at
boot time. It will make up to 3 attempts before timeout and then it will
start the boot process using the existing code image in the Flash
memory. If a TFTP server is configured and a new code image is
retrieved, the new downloaded image will be verified and then saved
into the Flash memory.

Note: Please do NOT interrupt the TFTP upgrade process (especially

the power supply) as this will damage the device. Depending on the
network environment this process can take up to 15 or 20 minutes.

Via HTTP The URL for the HTTP server used for firmware upgrade and
Server configuration via HTTP. For example,
http://provisioning.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.5.16
Here “:6688” is the specific TCP port that the HTTP server is listening
at, it can be omitted if using default port 80.

Note: If Auto Upgrade is set to No, GXP-2000 will only do HTTP

download once at boot up.

Automatic Choose Yes to enable automatic upgrade and provisioning.

Upgrade In “Check for new firmware every” field, enter the number of days to
enable GXP-2000 to check the server for firmware upgrade or
configuration in the defined period of days.
When set to No, GXP-2000 will only do upgrade once at boot up.
“Always check for New Firmware”
“Check New Firmware only when F/W pre/suffix changes”

Authenticate if set to Yes, cfg file would be authenticated before acceptance. This
Conf File mechanism is useful for the protection of configuration on the device
from unauthorized change.

DTMF Payload This parameter sets the payload type for DTMF using RFC2833.
Type

NTP server This parameter defines the URI or IP address of the NTP (Network
Time Protocol) server which is used by GXP-2000 to display the
current date/time.

Distinctive Ring Customer Ring Tone 1 to 3 with associate Caller ID: when selected, if
Tone Caller ID is configured, then the device will ONLY sound this ring
tone when the incoming call is from the Caller ID, device will use
System Ring Tone for all other calls.
When selected but no Caller ID is configured, the selected ring tone
will be used for all incoming calls.

Syslog Server The IP address or URL of System log server. This feature is especially
useful for ITSP (Internet Telephone Service Provider)

Syslog Level Select the ATA to report the log level. Default is NONE. The level is
one of DEBUG, INFO, WARNING or ERROR. Syslog messages are
sent based on the following events:

• product model/version on boot up (INFO level)

• NAT related info (INFO level)
• sent or received SIP message (DEBUG level)
• SIP message summary (INFO level)
• inbound and outbound calls (INFO level)
• registration status change (INFO level)
• negotiated codec (INFO level)
• Ethernet link up (INFO level)
• SLIC chip exception (WARNING and ERROR levels)
• memory exception (ERROR level)

The Syslog uses USER facility. In addition to standard Syslog payload,

it contains the following components:

Individual Account Settings

Account Active This field indicates whether the account is active or not. The default
value for the primary account Account 1 is Yes. The default values for
the other three accounts are No.

Account Name A name to identify an account which will be displayed in LCD.

SIP Server SIP Server’s IP address or Domain name provided by VoIP service
provider.

Outbound Proxy IP address or Domain name of Outbound Proxy, or Media Gateway, or

Session Border Controller. Used by GXP-2000 for firewall or NAT
penetration in different network environment. If symmetric NAT is
detected, STUN will not work and ONLY outbound proxy can provide
solution for it.

SIP User ID User account information, provided by VoIP service provider (ITSP),
usually has the form of digit similar to phone number or actually a
phone number.

Authenticate ID SIP service subscriber’s Authenticate ID used for authentication. Can be

identical to or different from SIP User ID.

39
Authenticate SIP service subscriber’s account password for GXP-2000 to register to
Password (SIP) servers of ITSP.

Name SIP service subscriber’s name which will be used for Caller ID display.

Use DNS SRV: Default is No. If set to Yes the client will use DNS SRV to look up
server.

User ID is Phone If the GXP-2000 has an assigned PSTN telephone number, this field
Number should be set to “Yes”. Otherwise, set it to “No”. If “Yes” is set, a
“user=phone” parameter will be attached to the “From” header in SIP
request

SIP Registration This parameter controls whether the GXP-2000 needs to send
REGISTER messages to the proxy server. The default setting is “Yes”.

Unregister on Default is No. If set to yes, the SIP user’s registration information will
Reboot be cleared on reboot.
Register Expiration This parameter allows user to specify the time frequency (in minutes)
that GXP-2000 refreshes its registration with the specified registrar. The
default interval is 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 GXP-2000 will listen and
transmit. The default value for Account 1 is 5060. It is 5062, 5064,
5066 for Account 2, Account 3 and Account 4 respectively.

SIP T1 Timeout T1 is an estimate of the round-trip time (RTT) between the client and
server transactions. If the network latency is high, select bigger value
for reliable usage.

SIP T2 Interval This element sets the value of the SIP protocol T2 timer, in seconds.
Timer T2 defines the retransmit interval for INVITE responses and non-
INVITE requests. The SIP protocol default value is 4 seconds.

40
NAT Traversal This parameter defines whether the GXP-2000 NAT traversal
mechanism will be activated or not. If activated (by choosing “Yes”)
and a STUN server is also specified, then the GXP-2000 will behave
according to the STUN client specification. Under this mode, the
embedded STUN client inside the GXP-2000 will attempt to detect if
and what type of firewall/NAT it is sitting behind through
communication with the specified STUN server. If the detected NAT is
a Full Cone, Restricted Cone, or a Port-Restricted Cone, the GXP-2000
will attempt to 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 GXP-2000 will periodically (every 20
seconds or so) send a blank UDP packet (with no payload data) to the
SIP server to keep the “hole” on the NAT open.

Subscribe for Default is No. When set to “Yes” a SUBSCRIBE for Message Waiting
MWI: Indication will be sent periodically.

Proxy-Require SIP Extension to notify SIP server that the unit is behind the
NAT/Firewall.

Voice Mail User ID When configured, user will be able to dial voice mail server by pressing
“MSG” button.

Send DTMF This parameter specifies the mechanism to transmit DTMF digit. There
are 3 modes supported: in audio which means DTMF is combined in
audio signal (not very reliable with low-bit-rate codec), via RTP
(RFC2833), or via SIP INFO.

Early Dial Default is No. Use only if proxy supports 484 response.

Dial Plan Prefix Sets the prefix added to each dialed number.

Enable Call Default is No. If set to Yes, Call transfer, Call Forwarding & Do-Not-
Features Disturb are supported locally.

Disable Missed-Call Default is No. If set to Yes, missed calls will not be recorded for your
review.

Session Expiration Grandstream implemented SIP Session Timer. The session timer
extension enables SIP sessions to be periodically “refreshed” via a SIP
request (UPDATE, or re-INVITE. Once the session interval expires, if
there is no refresh via a UPDATE or re-INVITE message, the session
will be terminated.

Session Expiration is the time (in seconds) at which the session is

considered timed out, if no successful session refresh transaction occurs
beforehand. The default value is 180 seconds.

41
Min-SE The minimum session expiration (in seconds). The default value is 90
seconds.

Caller Request If selecting “Yes” the phone will use session timer when it makes
Timer outbound calls if remote party supports session timer.

Callee Request If selecting “Yes” the phone will use session timer when it receives
Timer inbound calls with session timer request.

Force Timer If selecting “Yes” the phone will use session timer even if the remote
party does not support this feature. Selecting “No” will allow the phone
to enable session timer only when the remote party support this feature.
To turn off Session Timer, select “No” for Caller Request Timer, Callee
Request Timer, and Force Timer.

UAC Specify As a Caller, select UAC to use the phone as the refresher, or UAS to use
Refresher the Callee or proxy server as the refresher.

UAS Specify As a Callee, select UAC to use caller or proxy server as the refresher, or
Refresher UAS to use the phone as the refresher.

Force INVITE Session Timer can be refreshed using INVITE method or UPDATE
method. Select “Yes” to use INVITE method to refresh the session
timer.

Enable 100rel The use of the PRACK (Provisional Acknowledgment) method enables
reliability to be offered to SIP provisional responses (1xx series). This is
very important if PSTN internetworking is to be supported. A user’s
wish to use reliable provisional responses is invoked by the 100rel tag
which is appended to the value of the required header of initial
signalling messages.

Account Ring Tone There are 4 different ring tone that are defined:
• System Ring Tone: when selected, all calls will ring with
system ring tone.
• Customer Ring Tone 1 to 3: when selected, GXP-2000 will
ONLY play this ring tone for all the incoming calls for this
account.

Send Anonymous If this parameter is set to “Yes”, the “From” header in outgoing INVITE
message will be set to anonymous, essentially blocking the Caller ID
from displaying.

Auto Answer When set to “Yes”, GXP-2000 will automatically switch to speaker
when there is an incoming call.

Allow Auto Answer Default is No. If set to Yes, auto answer depends on the Call-Info in the
by Call-Info SIP message. This feature needs the support of IP-PBX.

42
 Turn off speaker on Default is No. If set to Yes, the speaker will turn off, and the phone will
remote disconnect go back to idle status, after the other party of the call hands up.

Preferred Vocoder The GXP-2000 supports up to 5 different Vocoder types including

G.711 A-/U-law, GSM, G.723.1, G.729A/B.

User can configure Vocoders in a preference list that will be included

with the same preference order in SDP message. The first Vocoder in
this list can be entered by choosing the appropriate option in “Choice
1”. Similarly, the last Vocoder in this list can be entered by choosing
the appropriate option in “Choice 8”.

Special Feature Default is Standard. Choose the selection to meet some special
requirements from Soft Switch vendors like Nortel, Broadsoft, etc.

At this point, user can relogin to the phone after waiting for about 30 seconds.

5.3 Configuration through Central Provisioning Server

Grandstream GXP-2000 can be automatically configured from a central provisioning

system.

When GXP-2000 boots up, it will send TFTP or HTTP request to download configuration
files, there are two configuration files, one is “cfg.txt” and the other is
“cfg000b82xxxxxx”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the MAC address of the GXP-2000.

The configuration files can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP from the central server. A
service provider or an enterprise with large deployment of GXP-2000 can easily manage
the configuration and service provisioning of individual devices remotely from a central
server.

Grandstream provides a licensed provisioning system called GAPS that can be used to
support automated configuration of GXP-2000. GAPS (Grandstream Automated
Provisioning System) uses enhanced (NAT friendly) TFTP or HTTP (thus no NAT
issues) and other communication protocols to communicate with each individual GXP-
2000 for firmware upgrade, remote reboot, etc.

Grandstream provide GAPS (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System) service to

VoIP service providers. It could be either simple redirection or with certain special
provisioning settings. Initially upon booting 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 server for further provisioning.

44
Grandstream also provide GAPSLite software package which contains our NAT friendly
TFTP server and a configuration tool to facilitate the task of generating device
configuration files.

The GAPSLite configuration tool is now free to end users. The tool and configuration
templates can be downloaded from
http://www.grandstream.com/DOWNLOAD/Configuration_Tool/.

For details on how GAPS works, please refer to the documentation of GAPS product.

45
 6 Firmware Upgrade
Upgrade through HTTP

To upgrade software, GXP-2000 can be configured with an HTTP server where the new
code image file is located. For example, following URL in the HTTP Upgrade Server:

http://firmware.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.1.12

Where firmware.mycompany.com is the FQDN of the HTTP server, “:6688” is the TCP
port the HTTP server listening to, “/Grandstream/1.0.0.4” is the RELATIVE directory to
the root dir in HTTP server. Thus, you can put different firmware into different directory
as well.

NOTE:

• If “Auto Upgrade” field is set to “No”, HTTP upgrade will be performed only
once during boot up. If it is set to “Yes”, the device will check the HTTP server
in the number of days that is defined in “Check for new firmware every” field.

Upgrade through TFTP

To upgrade software, GXP-2000 can be configured with a TFTP server where the new
code image is located. It is recommended to set the TFTP server address in either a public
IP address or on the same LAN with the GXP-2000.

There are two ways to set up the TFTP server to upgrade the firmware, namely through
voice menu prompt or via the GXP-2000’s Web configuration interface. To configure the
TFTP server via voice prompt, please refer to section 5.1 with option 06, once set up the
TFTP IP address, power cycle the device, the firmware will be fetched once the device
boots up.

To configure the TFTP server via the Web configuration interface, open up your browser
to point at the IP address of the GXP-2000. Input the admin password to enter the
configuration screen. From there, enter the TFTP server address in the designated field
towards the bottom of the configuration screen. Once the TFTP server is set, user needs
to update the change by clicking the “Update” button. Then “Reboot” or power cycle the
phone, the firmware files will be fetched upon booting up.

TFTP checking is only performed during the initial power up. If the configured TFTP
server is found and a new code image is available, the GXP-2000 will attempt to retrieve
the new image files by downloading them into the GXP-2000’s SRAM. During this
stage, the GXP-2000’s LEDs will blink until the checking/downloading process is
completed. Upon verification of checksum, the new code image will then be saved into

46
the Flash. If TFTP fails for any reason (e.g., TFTP server is not responding, there are no
code image files available for upgrade, or checksum test fails, etc), the GXP-2000 will
stop the TFTP process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.

TFTP process may take as long as 1 to 2 minutes over the Internet, or just 20+ seconds if
it is performed on a LAN. Users are recommended to conduct TFTP upgrade in a
controlled LAN environment if possible. For those who do not have a local TFTP server,
Grandstream provides a NAT-friendly TFTP server on the public Internet for firmware
upgrade. Please check the Services section of Grandstream’s Web site to obtain this
TFTP server’s IP address.

NOTE:

• When GXP-2000 boots up, it will send TFTP or HTTP request to download
configuration files, there are two configuration files, one is “cfg.txt” and the
other is “cfg000b82xxxxxx”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the MAC address of the
GXP-2000. These two files are for initial automatically provisioning purpose
only, for normal TFTP or HTTP firmware upgrade, the following error messages
in a TFTP or HTTP server log can be ignored.

TFTP Error from [IP ADRESS] requesting cfg000b82023dd4 : File does

not exist
TFTP Error from [IP ADRESS] requesting cfg.txt : File does not
exist

 7. Restore Factory Default Setting
Warning !!!

Restore the Factory Default Setting will DELETE all configuration information of the
device. 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 service provider.

Step 1:
Find the MAC Address of the device. The MAC address of the device is located
on the bottom of the device. It is a 12-digit number. User can also use Menu
option 10 to find out the phone’s MAC address.

Step 2:
Encode the MAC address. Please use the following mapping:

0-9: 0-9
A: 22
B: 222
C: 2222
D: 33
E: 333
F: 3333

For example, if the MAC address is 000b8200e395, it should be encoded as

“0002228200333395”.

Step 3:
Access the phone screen menu, select “-- reset --" with the up or down arrows
keys.

Step 4:
Enter the encoded MAC address. Once the correct MAC address is displayed in
the LCD screen, press “MENU” button, the device will reboot automatically and
restore to factory default setting.

49
 European digital mobile telephony. DECT covers wireless PBXs, telepoint,
residential cordless telephones, wireless access to the public switched telephone
network, Closed User Groups (CUGs), Local Area Networks, and wireless local
loop. The DECT Common Interface radio standard is a multicarrier time division
multiple access, time division duplex (MC-TDMA-TDD) radio transmission
technique using ten radio frequency channels from 1880 to 1930 MHz, each
divided into 24 time slots of 10ms, and twelve full-duplex accesses per carrier, for
a total of 120 possible combinations. A DECT base station (an RFP, Radio Fixed
Part) can transmit all 12 possible accesses (time slots) simultaneously by using
different frequencies or using only one frequency. All signaling information is
transmitted from the RFP within a multiframe (16 frames). Voice signals are
digitally encoded into a 32 kbit/s signal using Adaptive Differential Pulse Code
Modulation.

DNS

FXO

Foreign eXchange Office

An FXO device can be an analog phone, answering machine, fax, or anything that
handles a call from the telephone company like AT&T. They should also operate
the same way when connected to an FXS interface.

An FXO interface will accept calls from FXS or PSTN interfaces. All countries
and regions have their own standards.

FXO is complimentary to FXS (and the PSTN).

FXS

Foreign eXchange Station

An FXS device has hardware to generate the ring signal to the FXO extension
(usually an analog phone).

An FXS device will allow any FXO device to operate as if it were connected to
the phone company. This makes your PBX the POTS+PSTN for the phone.

The FXS Interface connects to FXO devices (by an FXO interface, of course).

DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for
automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can be used to
automatically assign IP addresses, to deliver TCP/IP stack configuration
parameters such as the subnet mask and default router, and to provide other
configuration information such as the addresses for printer, time and news
servers.

ECHO CANCELLATION
Echo Cancellation is used in telephony to describe the process of removing echo
from a voice communication in order to improve voice quality on a telephone call.
In addition to improving quality, this process improves bandwidth savings
achieved through silence suppression by preventing echo from traveling across a
network.

51
 There are two types of echo of relevance in telephony: acoustic echo and hybrid
echo. Speech compression techniques and digital processing delay often
contribute to echo generation in telephone networks.

H.323
A suite of standards for multimedia conferences on traditional packet-switched
networks.

HTTP
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol; the World Wide Web protocol that performs the
request and retrieve functions of a server

IP
Internet Protocol. A packet-based protocol for delivering data across networks.

IP-PBX
IP-based Private Branch Exchange

IP Telephony
(Internet Protocol telephony, also known as Voice over IP Telephony) A general
term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched
connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have
traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the
public switched telephone network (PSTN). The basic steps involved in
originating an IP Telephony call are conversion of the analog voice signal to
digital format and compression/translation of the signal into Internet protocol (IP)
packets for transmission over the Internet or other packet-switched networks; the
process is reversed at the receiving end. The terms IP Telephony and Internet
Telephony are often used to mean the same; however, they are not 100 per cent
interchangeable, since Internet is only a subcase of packet-switched networks. For
users who have free or fixed-price Internet access, IP Telephony software
essentially provides free telephone calls anywhere in the world. However, the
challenge of IP Telephony is maintaining the quality of service expected by
subscribers. Session border controllers resolve this issue by providing quality
assurance comparable to legacy telephone systems.

IVR
IVR is a software application that accepts a combination of voice telephone input
and touch-tone keypad selection and provides appropriate responses in the form
of voice, fax, callback, e-mail and perhaps other media.

MTU
A Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the largest size packet or frame,
specified in octets (eight-bit bytes), that can be sent in a packet- or frame-based
network such as the Internet. The maximum for Ethernet is 1500 byte.

52
NAT
Network Address Translation

NTP
Network Time Protocol, a protocol to exchange and synchronize time over
networks
The port used is UDP 123
Grandstream products using NTP to get time from Internet

OBP/SBC
Outbound Proxy or another name Session Border Controller. A device used in
VoIP networks. OBP/SBCs are put into the signaling and media path between
calling and called party. The OBP/SBC acts as if it was the called VoIP phone and
places a second call to the called party. The effect of this behaviour is that not
only the signaling traffic, but also the media traffic (voice, video etc) crosses the
OBP/SBC. Without an OBP/SBC, the media traffic travels directly between the
VoIP phones. Private OBP/SBCs are used along with firewalls to enable VoIP
calls to and from a protected enterprise network. Public VoIP service providers
use OBP/SBCs to allow the use of VoIP protocols from private networks with
internet connections using NAT.

PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet, is a network protocol for encapsulating
PPP frames in Ethernet frames. It is used mainly with cable modem and DSL
services.

PSTN

Public Switched Telephone Network

i.e. the phone service we use for every ordinary phone call, or called POT (Plain
Old Telephone), or circuit switched network.

RTCP
Real-time Transport Control Protocol, defined in RFC 3550, a sister protocol of
the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), It partners RTP in the delivery and
packaging of multimedia data, but does not transport any data itself. It is used
periodically to transmit control packets to participants in a streaming multimedia
session. The primary function of RTCP is to provide feedback on the quality of
service being provided by RTP.

RTP

53
 Real-time Transport Protocol defines a standardized packet format for delivering
audio and video over the Internet. It was developed by the Audio-Video Transport
Working Group of the IETF and first published in 1996 as RFC 1889

SDP
Session Description Protocol, is a format for describing streaming media
initialization parameters. It has been published by the IETF as RFC 2327.

SIP
Session Initiation Protocol, An IP telephony signaling protocol developed by the
IETF (RFC3261). SIP is a text-based protocol suitable for integrated voice-data
applications. SIP is designed for voice transmission and uses fewer resources and
is considerably less complex than H.323.
All Grandstream products are SIP based

STUN
Simple Traversal of UDP over NATs, is a network protocol allowing clients
behind NAT (or multiple NATs) to find out its public address, the type of NAT it
is behind and the internet side port associated by the NAT with a particular local
port. This information is used to set up UDP communication between two hosts
that are both behind NAT routers. The protocol is defined in RFC 3489. STUN
will usually work good with non-symmetric NAT routers.

TCP
Transmission Control Protocol, is one of the core protocols of the Internet
protocol suite. Using TCP, applications on networked hosts can create
connections to one another, over which they can exchange data or packets. The
protocol guarantees reliable and in-order delivery of sender to receiver data.

TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol, is a very simple file transfer protocol, with the
functionality of a very basic form of FTP; It uses UDP (port 69) as its transport
protocol.

UDP
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet
protocol suite. Using UDP, programs on networked computers can send short
messages known as datagrams to one another. UDP does not provide the
reliability and ordering guarantees that TCP does; datagrams may arrive out of
order or go missing without notice. However, as a result, UDP is faster and more
efficient for many lightweight or time-sensitive purposes.

VAD

54
 Voice Activity Detection or Voice Activity Detector is an algorithm used in
speech processing wherein, the presence or absence of human speech is
detected from the audio samples.

VLAN
A virtual LAN, known as a VLAN, is a logically-independent network. Several
VLANs can co-exist on a single physical switch. It is usually refer to the IEEE
802.1Q tagging protocol.

VoIP
Voice over IP
VoIP encompasses many protocols. All the protocols do some form of signalling
of call capabilities and transport of voice data from one point to another. e.g: SIP,
H.323, etc.
