Video Walkthrough

Setting up your Telnyx SIP portal account so you can make and receive calls:

Note: Video walkthrough for Grandstream HT8xx /Telnyx configuration coming soon. Check back as we update our docs.

1. Set up your Grandstream HT 802 for configuration

Note: These instructions reference the 802 with factory default configuration. It is configured to grab a dynamic IP address automatically from your router using DHCP. For information on configuring your HandyTone with a Static IP Address, please refer to the 802's user guide.

  1. The Grandstream HT802 typically requires you to have inbound calls sent to the username configured on the device in the SIP settings. The easy way to set this up is to have the phone number as the username of the trunk, however Telnyx doesn't support phone numbers as connection usernames.
    ​
    Instead, we suggest you have inbound calls sent to the alphanumeric username of the connection instead of the number. Change the inbound settings of the connection on the Inbound tab on the Connection Options screen to the following:
    ​

    1. Number Format (DNIS): SIP Username"Connect your 802 directly to your router with the ethernet cable supplied with your device.

  2. Connect your phone to the 802 by plugging the cable into the correct FXS port you've configured.

  3. Now plug the 802's power cord into the outlet you're using.

  4. Wait 60 seconds before continuing to step 5.

  5. Have a text editor or pen and paper ready. Pick up the connected phone and dial *** and you will hear a message that says "Enter a menu option."

  6. Dial 0 2 on your phone. This will return the IP address of your 802. Copy this number down.

  7. Open a web browser and enter the IP address that you just entered into the address bar. Ensure you remove any leading zeros, as many browsers don't accept them.

    • For example: if your message gave you a number that looks like this: 192.168.001.010, change this to 192.168.1.10 and hit enter/return to direct your browser to this address.

    • Ensure you do this quickly, as the 802 interface has a timeout.

  8. You'll be prompted to log in.
