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.

Updating the Grandstream firmware

This procedure is only required if you need to update the Grandstream firmware. To update 
the firmware:

Install a TFTP application.

Download and extract firmware files.

Configure the phone to point to the firmware files.

Installing a TFTP application

You require a TFTP server application to update the phone firmware. One such free TFTP utility 
can be downloaded from Solarwinds at the following URL:

http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/New-customerFree.cfm?ProdId=52

1. Download and install the TFTP program.

2. Take note of the location of the TFTP program root directory location. The phone firmware 

files are extracted to this directory in the next section. (i.e. for Solarwinds TFTP, the root 
directory is 

C:\TFTP-Root

).
