APPLICATION DESCRIPTION

A. IP PBX / SIP Server with GXW410x
A SIP proxy server such as Asterisk or a SIP registrar server can be deployed with the GXW-410x series. In this environment, the SIP server handles SIP registration and call control and the GXW-410x processes media conversion between IP and PSTN calls.
There are 2 ways to configure GXW410x when using with a SIP Server:-
1. With SIP accounts configured on Channels page. In this case, the GXW acts like an endpoint requesting registration from the SIP Server. Under the Channels webpage you will need to fill in the information like SIP User ID, Password, etc. Now, when you try to make calls from IP, the call will be routed to the SIP Server which will forward it to one of the SIP accounts on the GXW410x, which will then forward it to the PSTN line.
2. Without SIP accounts. In this case, you simply have to configure the SIP Server to perform forwarding of the SIP INVITE message with the FXO destination number to the gateways IP Address. The GXW410x will receive the digits and immediately forward them on the FXO lines to the destination PSTN. Most of the configuration on the Gateway for this case will remain default, except Stage Method needs to be set to 1, and SIP Server IP Address/DNS name has to be filled.

For incoming calls from the PSTN analog endpoints to the GXW410x, the device will auto forward each call to a configured IP extension. The SIP Server can then route the call based on its own configuration or IVR system.
B. FXS Gateway with GXW410x [No SIP Server required]
Alternatively, the GXW410x can be used without a SIP Server. You can use it in conjunction with a FXS Gateway (Ex. GXW400x) and still be able to originate and terminate calls from IP to PSTN and vice

Registration to No. EXPECTED CALL FLOW: Analog Phone (GXW400x) picks up and dials destination PSTN number. The call
gets routed to the GXW410x which dials out the digit string onto the FXO Lines, thus reaching the destination PSTN endpoint. On the reverse, incoming calls from PSTN endpoints will be routed automatically to the FXS Gateway through the GXW410x.

CCESSING THE WEB CONFIGURATION MENU
A
1. Connect the Power to the GXW-410x unit.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable between the WAN port on GXW-410x to your PC.
3. You will have to assign a dummy IP with the same subnet as the GXW IP Address, which is
192.168.0.160 by default. So, set an IP address like 192.168.0.x for your PC.
4. Launch web browser and type to the GXW-410x web server.
You may choose to use DHCP or PPPoE connection or another static IP address according to your local network environment.
The Gateway Web Configuration Menu can be then accessed by the following URI:
Address where the Gateway-IP-Address is the IP address of the Gateway.
NOTE: To access the configuration page, type the GXW IP address into the browser, stripping out the leading “0” because the browser will parse in octet. e.g. if the IP address is: 192.168.001.014, please type
in: 192.168.1.14.

PPPoE account password. This field is optional. If your ISP uses a service name for the PPPoE connection,
enter the service name here. Default is blank. Controls how the date/time is displayed according to the specified time zone. This parameter controls whether the displayed time will be daylight savings time
or not. If set to “Yes” and the Optional Rule is empty, then the displayed time will be 1 hour ahead of normal time. The “Automatic Daylight Saving Time Rule” shall have the following syntax: start-time;end-time;saving Both start-time and end-time have the same syntax: Month ,day ,weekday ,hour ,minute month: 1,2,3,..,12 (for Jan, Feb, .., Dec) day: [+|-]1,2,3,..,31 weekday: 1, 2, 3, .., 7 (for Mon, Tue, .., Sun), or 0 which means the daylight saving rule is not based on week days but based on the day of the month. hour: hour (0-23), minute: minute (0-59)
If “weekday” is 0, it means the date to start or end daylight saving is at exactly the given date. In that case, the “day” value must not be negative. If “weekday” is not zero and “day” is positive, then the daylight saving starts on the first “day”th iteration of the weekday (1st Sunday, 3rd Tuesday etc). If “weekday” us not zero and “day” is negative, then the daylight saving starts on the last “day”th iteration of the weekday (last Sunday, 3rd last Tuesday etc). The saving is in the unit of minutes. The saving time may also be preceded by a negative (-) sign if subtraction is desired instead of addition. The default value for “Automatic Daylight Saving Time Rule” shall be set to “03,11,0,02,00;11,04,0,02,00;60” which is the rule for US. Examples US where daylight saving time is applicable: 03,11,0,02,00;11,4,0,02,00;60 This means the daylight saving time starts from 11th March at 2AM and ends November 4th at 2AM. The saving is 60 minutes (1hour).

Administrator password. Only the administrator can configure the “Advanced Settings” page. Password field is purposely left blank for security reasons. The maximum password length is 25 characters.
G723 encoding rate (6.3kbps or 5.3kbps) This field contains the number of voice frames to be transmitted in a single packet.
When setting this value, the user should be aware of the requested packet time (used in SDP message) as a result of configuring this parameter. This parameter is associated with the first vocoder in the above vocoder Preference List or the actual used payload type negotiated between the 2 conversation parties at run time. e.g., if the first vocoder is configured as G723 and the “Voice Frames per TX” is set to be 2, then the “ptime” value in the SDP message of an INVITE request will be 60ms because each G723 voice frame contains 30ms of audio. Similarly, if this field is set to be 2 and if the first vocoder chosen is G729 or G711 or G726, then the “ptime” value in the SDP message of an INVITE request will be 20ms. If the configured voice frames per TX exceeds the maximum allowed value, the BudgeTone 200 will use and save the maximum allowed value for the corresponding first vocoder choice. The maximum value for PCM is 10(x10ms) frames; for G726, it is 20 (x10ms) frames; for G723, it is 32 (x30ms) frames; for G729/G728, 64 (x10ms) and 64 (x2.5ms) frames respectively.
This field defines the layer 3 QoS parameter which can be the value used for IP Precedence or Diff-Serv or MPLS. Default value is 48. Its range lies from 0 to 63.
Layer 2 QoS
Local RTP port
Use Random Port
Keep-alive interval
Use NAT IP STUN Server
This contains the value used for layer 2 VLAN tag.
802.1q / VLAN tag : Default value is 0. Range lies from 0 to 4095.
802.1p Priority value : Default value is 0. Range lies from 0 to 7. *** The above 2 settings need to be supported on the network and then configured
accordingly on the GXW410x. Incorrect configuration will cause blocked access, which will result in Factory Reset as the only option to renew access.
This parameter defines the local RTP-RTCP port pair the GXW-410x will listen and transmit. It is the base RTP port for channel 0. When configured, channel 0 will use this port _value for RTP and the port_value+1 for its RTCP; channel 1 will use port_value+2 for RTP and port_value+3 for its RTCP and so on. The default value is 5004.
This parameter, when set to Yes, will force random generation of both the local SIP and RTP ports. This is usually necessary when multiple GXW-410xs are behind the same NAT.
This parameter specifies how often the GXW-410x sends a blank UDP packet to the SIP server in order to keep the “hole” on the NAT open. Default is 20 seconds.
NAT IP address used in SIP/SDP message. Default is blank. IP address or Domain name of the STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs)

If a TFTP server is configured and a new code image is retrieved, the new downloaded image will be verified and then saved into the Flash memory.
Note: Please do NOT interrupt the TFTP upgrade process (especially the power supply) as this will damage the device. Depending on the network environment this process can take up to 15 or 20 minutes.
The URL for the HTTP server used for firmware upgrade and configuration via HTTP. For example, ttp://provisioning.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.0.54 Here “:6688” is the specific TCP port that the HTTP server is listening at, it can be omitted if using default port 80.
Note: If Auto Upgrade is set to No, GXW-410x will only do HTTP download once at boot up.

CONFIGURING THE FXO CHANNELS

Configuring the FXO channels on the GXW – 410x is an easy process. Follow the GUI interfaces. The Device Status page terms are defined in Table 9: FXO Lines Configuration Definitions. An example of the Channel Dialing Configuration is shown in Figure 6. Please note the default is always configured. The user has the option to change the default settings as described in the Table 9.
ABLE 9: FXO LINES CONFIGURATION DEFINITIONS
T
Enable Current Disconnect
Enable Tone Disconnect
Enable Polarity Reversal
AC Termination Impedance
Silence Timeout
When set to Y, Current Disconnect is enabled. Certain PSTN Cos require this to be enabled, in order to realize disconnect signal from PSTN side. Default is Y. If enabled use threshold : Default is 100ms. Range is 50ms to 800ms.
Certain PSTN service providers have a threshold time within which the line stabilizes after off-hook. It is entirely dependent on provider, however if you experience PSTN line detection issues, please modify this setting appropriately in 100ms increments.
Default is No. If PSTN provider uses call progress tones then it should be set to Yes in order to realize disconnect tone. Please configure accurate Call Progress Tones on Channels webpage based on PSTN provider (or traditional PBX) settings.
Default is No. This should be set to Yes only if the FXO lines are subscribed to PR service from PSTN Service provider. It is merely a PR detect feature. ***Note:- If there is no PR service from provider on the FXO line, and this setting is configured to Yes, calls will not be succe ssful.
Selects the impedance of the analog Line connected to the FXO port on the GXW­410x.
Terminate call after long silence detected. Default is 60 seconds, max 65536. Syntax for Channel Specific Settings:
Default - ch1-8:X; {all channels 1 to 8 are set to value X} Additional Examples:­ch1,3-6:10;ch2,7-8:12 {channels 1,3,4,5 and 6 are set to value 10 while channels 2,7
and 8 are set to value 12.
DTMF Digit
Default value is 100ms.
Length DTMF Digit
Default value is -11dB.
Volume DTMF Dial Pause
Default value is 100ms.
Wait for Dial-tone
Default is Y (Yes). When set to Yes, the gateway will wait till it hears dialtone from FXO line before dialing out the destination digits.
Grandstream Networks, Inc. GXW-410x User Manual Page 19 of 37 Firmware 1.0.0.53 Updated: 04/2007
Stage Method
Syntax - ch1-8:1; {all channels 1 to 8 are set to value 1 or 2} Stage method can be set to either 1 or 2. In simple words, if you need to make a direct PSTN call from a VOIP endpoint you
should set this to 1. When you set it to 2, you will first dial one of the VOIP channel accounts from the VOIP endpoint, this will result in getting a PSTN line dial-tone to then dial out the destination PSTN number.
Most implementations require this setting to be configured to 1.
Min. Delay before Dial PSTN
Offhook Auto Dial
Caller ID Scheme
Defaut is 100ms. This needs to be equal or slightly higher than the Current Disconnect threshold setting, so that once the FXO line is stable after the threshold period, the gateway can dial out. Again, it should be touched only if there are PSTN line detection issues.
This is an extremely important setting to make sure incoming PSTN calls are picked up and forwarded to the correct VOIP destination.
User ID - This parameter allows users to configure a User ID or extension number to be automatically dialed upon FXO line off-hook.
SIP Server - You also need to specify the Profile of the user id configured above (p1 stands for Profile 1, p2 stands for Profile 2 and so on).
SIP Destination Port - Along with the user-id and Profile, you also have the option to choose the destination port where you would like to send the call. By default it should be set to ch1-x:5060; (x can be 4 or 8 depending on number of ports).
The GXW410x supports 5 different types of schemes:-
1. Bellcore (US standard)
2. ETSI_RING
3. ETSI_TAS
4. DTMF
5. NTT (Japanese standard) Please check with your PSTN service provider (or traditional PBX specs) for which caller ID scheme it supports.
Caller ID Transport type
Default is “relay via From header”. You may also select :­“relay via P_Asserted_Identity header” “Disable” :- Caller ID feature will be disabled. “Send anonymous” :- All calls forwarded to VOIP end will be sent as anonymous.
T.38 Setting
This setting allows you to make several options related to Facsimile. You can select the method: T.38 or Pass through (G711) You can select the fax transmission rates (2400/4800/7200/9600/12000/14400bps) You can enable or disable ECM (Error Checking Mode)

Note – The channels here are basically SIP endpoints that will act as
clients registering to the SIP Server configured under the appropriate Profile page.
It should be set same as the channel number (i.e 1, 2..4 or 8 depending on number of FXO ports).
It is NOT the same as SIP Account ID.
This is the SIP account information. Enter the SIP User ID part of the account.
SIP service subscriber’s Authenticate ID used for authentication. It can be identical to, or different from SIP User ID.
SIP account password needs to be entered here. Note:- After entering the password, it will show up as blank but the password still remains active.
Select the corresponding Profile ID (1/2/3). Profiles are SIP Server configurations.
Using these settings, user can configure tone frequencies according to user preference. By default, the tones are set to North American frequencies. Frequencies should be configured with known values to avoid uncomfortable high pitch sounds. ON is the period of ringing (ON time in ms) while OFF is the period of silence. In order to set a continuous ring, OFF should be zero. Otherwise it will ring ON ms and a pause of OFF ms and then repeat the pattern.
“Dial tone”
“Ringback tone”
“Busy/Re-order tone”

(dB) Rx from PSTN Audio
Gain (dB) Silence Suppression
Channel voice settings mentioned below.
Allows user to set a value in dB for transmission to PSTN Audio Gain.
Default is 1. Range is from -12 to 12dB.
Allows user to set a value in dB for receive from PSTN Audio Gain. Default
is 0. Range is from -12 to 12dB.
This controls the silence suppression/VAD feature of G723 and G729. If set
to “Yes”, when a silence is detected, small quantity of VAD packets (instead
of audio packets) will be sent during the period of no talking. If set to “No”,
this feature is disabled.
Echo Cancellation Channel specific Setting
Grandstream Networks, Inc. GXW-410x User Manual Page 21 of 37 Firmware 1.0.0.53 Updated: 04/2007
When set to Y, Echo cancellation is enabled.
Channel specific settings mentioned below.
DTMF Method
This parameter specifies the mechanism to transmit DTMF digits. There
are7 modes supported: in audio which means DTMF is combined in audio
signal (not very reliable with low bit-rate codec), via RTP (RFC2833), or via
SIP INFO. Multiple DTMF transmission schemas can be selected.
1 – in-audio 2 – RFC2833 3 – in-audio and RFC2833 4 – SIP Info 5 – in-audio and RFC2833 6 – SIP Info and RFC2833 7 – in-audio, RFC2833, and SIP Info
No Key Entry Timeout Local SIP Listen Port
Round Robin and/or Flexible
Prefix to specify Port (1 stage dialing method)
Default is 4 seconds.
Default is ch1-8:5060++;. Here the ++ indicates increments by 2, so port 1
is set at 5060, port at 5062 and so on. This setting can be used with Round
Robin and/or Flexible setting below to configure different ports to be placed
under different Round Robin groups.
Default is rr:1-8;
The syntax is pretty straight-forward here. The rr stands for Round Robin
and the numbers stand for the ports that belong to that round robin group.
For example:-
rr:1-8; -> Round robin within the first 4 ports i.e. outgoing calls will be
forwarded to the next available port within the group of ports 1 to 4.
rr:1,3-6,8;rr:2,7; -> Round robin within port 1,3,4,5,6 and 8; Second round
robin group within ports 2 and 7 i.e. outgoing calls to ports 1,3,4,5,6 and 8
will be forwarded to the next available port within this group ONLY.
Outgoing calls to port 2 and 7 will be forwarded to the next available port
between ports 2 and 7 ONLY.
** In order to terminate a call on FXO port 2 or 7 you will need to change its
Local SIP Listen port accordingly.
Default is 99.
Syntax to USE this feature: prefix# (thats 99) + ch# (could be anything from
1 to 8) + dialing# will result in this call forwarded to FXO port (ch#)
immediately.
Grandstream Networks, Inc. GXW-410x User Manual Page 22 of 37 Firmware 1.0.0.53 Updated: 04/2007
DIAL PLAN
The Dial Plan feature implemented is applicable for VOIP to PSTN calls only. You may configure a dial plan based on the following grammar:-
1. Accept Digits: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,*,#
2. Grammar: x - any digit from 0-9; xx+ - at least 2 digit number; ^ - exclude; [3-5] - any digit of 3, 4, or 5; [147] - any digit 1, 4, or 7; <2=011> - replace digit 2 with 011 when dialing WARNING - illegal input will fall back to default
Example 1: {[369]11 | 1617xxxxxxx} - Allow 311, 611, 911, and any 10 digit numbers of leading digits 1617.
Example 2: {^1900x+ | <=1617>xxxxxxx} - Block any number of leading digits 1900 and add prefix 1617 for any dialed 7 digit numbers.
Example 3: {1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx | <2=011>x+} - Allow any length of number with leading digit 2 and 10 digit-numbers of leading digit 1 and leading exchange number between 2 and 9; If leading digit is 2, replace leading digit 2 with 011 before dialing
Default: PSTN Outgoing - {x+}
Note – If you do not plan to use this feature just let it be default {x+}

PROFILES

Profiles are basically IP PBX / SIP Server configuration templates. If you have more than one IP PBX system or SIP Server that you would like to use with the GXW410x, then you can configure Profile 2 or 3. Note – Make sure you select the correct profile for each channel under Channel s
WEBPAGE.
ABLE 11: PROFILE PAGE DEFINITIONS
T
Activate Profile Profile Name SIP Server Outbound Proxy
When set to Yes the SIP Profile is activated. A name to identify a Profile. SIP Server’s IP address or Domain name provided by VoIP service provider. IP address or Domain name of Outbound Proxy, or Media Gateway, or Session
Border Controller. Used by GXW-410x for firewall or NAT penetration in different network environments. If symmetric NAT is detected, STUN will not work and ONLY outbound proxy can correct the problem.
Use DNS SRV: User ID is Phone
Number
Default is No. If set to Yes the client will use DNS SRV to look up server. If the GXW-410x has an assigned PSTN telephone number, this field should be set
to “Yes”. Otherwise, set it to “No”. If “Yes” is set, a “user=phone” parameter will be attached to the “From” header in SIP request.
Grandstream Networks, Inc. GXW-410x User Manual Page 23 of 37 Firmware 1.0.0.53 Updated: 04/2007
SIP Registration
A
This parameter controls whether the GXW-410x needs to send REGISTER messages to the SIP Server. The default setting is “Yes”.
Unregister on Reboot
Register Expiration
Local SIP port
NAT Traversal
Proxy-Require Early Dial
Default is No. If set to yes, the SIP user’s registration information will be cleared on reboot.
This parameter allows the user to specify the time frequency (in minutes) for the GXW-410x to refresh its registration with the specified registrar. The default interval is 60 minutes (or 1 hour). The maximum interval is 65535 minutes (about 45 days).
This parameter defines the local SIP port the GXW-410x will listen and transmit. The default value for Account 1 is 5060. It is 5062, 5064, 5066 for Account 2, Account 3 and Account 4 respectively.
This parameter defines whether the GXW-410x NAT traversal mechanism will be activated or not. If activated (by choosing “Yes”) and a STUN server is also specified, then the GXW-410x will behave according to the STUN client specification. Under this mode, the embedded STUN client inside the GXW-410x will attempt to detect if and what type of firewall/NAT it is sitting behind through communication with the specified STUN server. If the detected NAT is a Full Cone, Restricted Cone, or a Port-Restricted Cone, the GXW-410x will attempt to use its mapped public IP address and port in all of its SIP and SDP messages. If the NAT Traversal field is set to “Yes” with no specified STUN server, the GXW-410x will periodically (every 20 seconds or so) send a blank UDP packet (with no payload data) to the SIP server to keep the “hole” on the NAT open.
SIP Extension to notify SIP server that the unit is behind the NAT/Firewall. Default is No. Use only if proxy supports 484 response.
Session Expiration
Min-SE Caller Request
Timer Callee Request
Timer Force Timer
UAC Specify Refresher
UAS Specify Refresher
Grandstream implemented SIP Session Timer. The session timer extension enables SIP sessions to be periodically “refreshed” via a SIP request (UPDATE, or re-INVITE. Once the session interval expires, if there is no refresh via a UPDATE or re-INVITE message, the session will be terminated. Session Expiration is the time (in seconds) at which the session is considered timed out, if no successful session refresh transaction occurs beforehand. The default value is 180 seconds.
The minimum session expiration (in seconds). The default value is 90 seconds. If selecting “Yes” the phone will use session timer when it makes outbound calls if
remote party supports session timer. If selecting “Yes” the phone will use session timer when it receives inbound calls
with session timer request. If selecting “Yes” the phone will use session timer even if the remote party does not
support this feature. Selecting “No” will allow the phone to enable session timer only when the remote party support this feature. To turn off Session Timer, select “No” for Caller Request Timer, Callee Request Timer, and Force Timer.
As a Caller, select UAC to use the phone as the refresher, or UAS to use the Callee or proxy server as the refresher.
s a Callee, select UAC to use caller or proxy server as the refresher, or UAS to
use the phone as the refresher.
Grandstream Networks, Inc. GXW-410x User Manual Page 24 of 37 Firmware 1.0.0.53 Updated: 04/2007
Force INVITE
Session Timer can be refreshed using INVITE method or UPDATE method. Select “Yes” to use INVITE method to refresh the session timer.
Enable 100rel
Refer-to uses Target Contact
Preferred Vocoder
Special Feature
The use of the PRACK (Provisional Acknowledgment) method enables reliability to be offered to SIP provisional responses (1xx series). This is very important if PSTN inter-networking is to be supported. A user’s request to use reliable provisional responses is invoked by the 100rel tag which is appended to the value of the required header of initial signalling messages.
Default is NO. If set to YES, then for Attended Transfer, the “Refer-To” header uses the transferred target’s Contact header information.
The GXW-410x supports up to 5 different Vocoder types including G.711 A-/U-law, GSM, G.723.1, G.729A/B. The user can configure Vocoders in a preference list that will be included with the same preference order in SDP message. The first Vocoder in this list can be entered by choosing the appropriate option in “Choice 1”. Similarly, the last Vocoder in this list can be entered by choosing the appropriate option in “Choice 8”.
Default is Standard. Choose the selection to meet some special requirements from Soft Switch vendors like Nortel, Broadsoft, etc.

FIRMWARE UPGRADE

Our latest official release can be downloaded from: http://www.grandstream.com/y-firmware.htm. Firmware (or software) upgrades can be done either via TFTP or HTTP. The corresponding configuration
settings are on the configuration page. End users should NOT touch the configuration settings that are useful for ITSPs. To upgrade your unit firmware, follow these steps:
1. Under Advanced Settings webpage, enter your TFTP or HTTP Server IP address (or FQDN) next to the “Firmware Upgrade: Upgrade Server” field.
2. Select via TFTP or HTTP accordingly.
3. If you plan to use Automatic Upgrade, set it to “Yes”, otherwise No (this will make it check for upgrade every time you reboot).
U
PGRADE THROUGH HTTP
To upgrade firmware via HTTP, the field “Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning: Upgrade Via” needs to be set to HTTP. The “Firmware Server Path” should be set to where the firmware files are located.
For example, the user can use the following URL in the Firmware Server Path:
firmware.mycompany.com: 6688/Grandstream/1.0.0.53 where firmware.mycompany.com is the FQDN
of the HTTP server. It can also be in IP address format. “:6688” is the TCP port the HTTP server listening to, default http server listens to port 80. “/Grandstream/1.0.0.53” is the RELATIVE directory to the root dir on HTTP web server.
Grandstream Networks, Inc. GXW-410x User Manual Page 29 of 37 Firmware 1.0.0.53 Updated: 04/2007

UPGRADE THROUGH TFTP

To upgrade firmware via TFTP, set the field “Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning: Upgrade Via” to TFTP. The TFTP server can be configured in either IP address format or FQDN.
To configure the TFTP server via the Web configuration interface, follow these five steps:
1. Open your browser to input the IP address of the GXW-410x.
2. Enter the admin password to enter the configuration screen.
3. Enter the TFTP server address or URL in the “Firmware Server Path” field near the bottom of the configuration screen.
4. Once the “Firmware Server Path” is set, update the change by clicking the “Update” button.
5. Reboot or power cycle the unit.
If the configured updating server is found and a new code image is available, the GXW-410x will retrieve the new image files by downloading them into the GXW-410x’s SRAM. During this stage, the GXW­410x’s LED will blink until the checking/downloading process is completed. Upon verification of checksum, the new code image will be saved into the Flash. If TFTP fails for any reason (e.g., TFTP server is not responding, there are no code image files available for upgrade, or checksum test fails, etc), the GXW-410x will stop the TFTP process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.
Firmware upgrading may take as long as 20 minutes over the Internet, or just 20+ seconds if it is performed on a LAN. Grandstream recommends conducting firmware upgrades in a controlled LAN environment if possible.
OWNLOAD TFTP SERVER
D
For users who do not have a local TFTP server, Grandstream provides a NAT-friendly TFTP server on the public Internet for users to download the latest firmware upgrade automatically. Please check the Services section of Grandstream’s Web site to obtain this TFTP server IP address. Alternatively, user can download and install a free TFTP or HTTP server in his LAN for a firmware upgrade.
A free Windows version TFTP server can be downloaded from:
http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/New-customerFree.cfm.
Directions For Downloading TFTP Server:
1. Unzip the file and put all of the files under the root directory of the TFTP server.
2. Put the PC running the TFTP server and the GXW–410x in the same LAN segment.
3. Go to File -> Configure -> Security to change the TFTP server's default setting from "Receive Only" to "Transmit Only" for the firmware
upgrade.
4. Start the TFTP server, in the phone’s web configuration page.
5. Configure the Firmware Server Path with the IP address of the PC.
6. Update the change and reboot the unit.
You can also download the free HTTP server from
http://httpd.apache.org or just use Microsoft IIS web.

FQDN Fully Qualified Domain Name. A FQDN consists of a host and domain name, including top-level domain. For example,
www.grandstream.com is a fully qualified domain name. www is the host,
Grandstream is the second-level domain, and and.com is the top level domain. FXO Foreign eXchange Office. An FXO device can be an analog phone, answering machine, fax, or
anything that handles a call from the telephone company like AT&T. They should also operate the same way when connected to an FXS interface.

e technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and
th other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The basic steps involved in originating an IP Telephony call are conversion of the analog voice signal to digital format and compression/translation of the signal into Internet protocol (IP) packets for transmission over the Internet or other
etworks; the process is reversed at the receiving end. The terms IP Telephony and Internet Telephony

packet-switched
are often used to mean the same; however, they are not 100 per cent interchangeable, since Internet is only a subcase of packet-switched networks. For users who have free or fixed-price Internet access, IP Telephony software essentially provides free telephone calls anywhere in the world. However, the challenge of IP Telephony is maintaining the quality of service expected by subscribers. Session border controllers resolve this issue by providing quality assurance comparable to legacy telephone systems.

VoIP networks.
OBP/SBCs are put into the signaling and media path between calling and called party. The OBP/SBC acts as if it was the called VoIP phone and places a second call to the called party. The effect of this behavior is that not only the signaling traffic, but also the media traffic (voice, video etc) crosses the OBP/SBC. Without an OBP/SBC, the media traffic travels directly between the VoIP phones. Private OBP/SBCs are used along with firewalls to enable VoIP calls to and from a protected enterprise network. Public VoIP service providers use OBP/SBCs to allow the use of VoIP protocols from private networks
