Current Firmware Version: 1.0.33.4 (v 1.0.35.4 in Beta)
This document is compliant with the most recent firmware version. Please make sure to regularly check to ensure you're on the most up-to-date firmware.
Pre-Requisites:
Ensure your device is running the most current firmware.
In your Telnyx Portal, from Connection Settings > Inbound, make sure that:

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. |
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:
Number Format (DNIS): SIP Username"Connect your 802 directly to your router with the ethernet cable supplied with your device.
Connect your phone to the 802 by plugging the cable into the correct FXS port you've configured.
Now plug the 802's power cord into the outlet you're using.
Wait 60 seconds before continuing to step 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."
Dial 0 2 on your phone. This will return the IP address of your 802. Copy this number down.
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.
You'll be prompted to log in.
The 802 will come configured with a default admin password:
Password: admin
2. Configure your Grandstream HT 802

3. OPTIONAL: Prevent Direct IP calls
If you want to prevent direct IP faxes to your device (such as 100 or 1000) and only allow calls from us, you can enable the following two options on the FXS PORT1 page:
Check SIP User ID for Incoming INVITE: Yes (no direct IP calling if yes)
Allow Incoming SIP Messages from SIP Proxy Only: Yes (no direct IP calling if yes)
If these options are enabled, the device will not be able to make direct IP calls.
4. Configure your Telnyx Command Portal
Go to your Telnyx Command Portal and set up a Number, Connection and Outbound Profile.
Now you can send a test fax!
That's it, you've now completed the configuration of your Grandstream HT 802 device and can now make and receive faxes with Telnyx as the SIP provider.
