¶ Introduction
This Configuration Guide is written as a general guide on how to configure the Grandstream device model HT-818 to work with PBXware 5.3.6.
¶ Requirements
¶ Identifying Phone Model
To start and successfully complete registration of your Grandstream device you need to know which phone model to set up.
On the back of each Grandstream phone, there is model information that you should check. Although various phone models can have exactly the same requirements and installation procedures, they can also have significantly different requirements and installation procedures, so that is why it is important to know the model you own which results in you setting up the device successfully.
¶ Phone Firmware
- Make sure that your device is loaded with an appropriate firmware version,1.0.17.5.
- To find out the firmware version of your Grandstream device model, open a new browser window and enter your phone's IP address in order to access the phone's web administration interface login screen. Example: http://192.168.1.22.
- Log in to the device's web administration interface with your username and password. Please note that the default username is admin and the default password is admin.
¶ DHCP Server
