Configure Extension in Unit

  1. In this tutorial, we are going to configure one extension in the device (it supports up to 4)
  2. This device is configured via a web interface. You need to first connect it's USB power adapter and then plug an ethernet cable into the unit so it's on your network.
    Go to this address in your web browser from a PC/Device connected to the same network your phone is. (Example: http://192.168.1.100)
  3. The easiest way to get the HT814's IP is by running a simple scan and trying various IP's from the result in your browser that show port 80 open. We hightly recommend The Angry IP Scanner https://angryip.org/. Easy to use, Free.
  4. The default login/password combo is admin/admin. If you received the unit from us, you may need to inquire as to what we set as the password.
  5. Once logged in, navigate to FXS PORT 1 (tab at the top)

  7. Important note about Analog : Due to the way analog phones work, every phone connected in chain to this one physical port on the Grandstream 814 will 'ring' when this extension is called. Likewise, only one phone on this chain can be used at a time. This is the nature of 'analog', how phones were for most of the 20th century.
