Grandstream IP Phones with Tpad
 
internet calls

The following instructions detail how to configure the Grandstream Budgetone VoIP IP phones with Tpad. The configuration guide is applicable to other IP Phones in the Grandstream range.

 
Configuration through the Web Browser

The Grandstream series IP phone has an embedded Web server that can be used to configure the phone. It has embedded HTML pages that allow a user to configure the IP phone through a Web browser such as Microsoft’s IE or Mozilla’s Firefox.
 
Access the Web Configuration Menu

The Grandstream IP Phone Web Configuration Pages can be accessed by inputting the phones IP into the browser’s URL address field like:

http://192.168.002.001

 
There are two ways to retrieve this IP address from the phone:
  • When the phone is off-hook or in speakerphone mode, simply press MENU button. (This is most common way to get the IP address of the phone)

  • When the phone is on-hook, press MENU button and then the browsing arrow keys to “[2] IP Addr”, press MENU again.
 
NOTE:
To type IP address into browser to bring up the configuration pages, please strip out the
leading “0.  e.g.: if the IP address is: 192.168.002.001,       please type in: 192.168.2.1.
 
Once the correct IP address of the phone is input into browser and “Enter” key pressed, the web log in page will come up like following:
 
Tpad
 
The password is case sensitive. The factory default password for Administrator is “admin”.
 
Configuration Menus

After inputting the password into the login screen, the embedded Web server of the IP phone will respond with the Configuration Page screens, which are explained in detail below.

IP Address

There are 2 modes under which the IP phone 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) and the IP phone will acquire its IP address from the first DHCP server it discovers on the LAN it attaches to.

If Static IP mode is selected, the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Router IP address, DNS Server 1 (mandatory), DNS Server 2 (optional) fields need to be configured. These fields are set to zero by default.

DHCP mode is recommended.
