1. “*” shifts down to the next menu option
2. “#” returns to the main menu
3. “9” functions as the ENTER key in many cases to confirm an option
4. All entered digit sequences have known lengths - 2 digits for menu option and 12 digits for IP
address. For IP address
, add 0 before the digits if the digits are less than 3 (i.e. - 192.168.0.26
should be key in like 192168000026. No decimal is needed).
5. Key entry can not be deleted but the phone may prompt error once it is detected
PLACING A PHONE CALL
PHONE OR EXTENSION NUMBERS
1. Dial the number directly and wait for 4 seconds (Default “No Key Entry Timeout”); or
2. Dial the number directly and press # (Use # as dial key” must be configured in web configuration).
Examples:
1. Dial an extension directly on the same proxy, (e.g. 1008), and then press the # or wait for 4 seconds.
2. Dial an outside number (e.g. (626) 666-7890), first enter the prefix number (usually 1+ or international
code) followed by the phone number. Press # or wait for 4 seconds. Check with your VoIP service
provider for further details on prefix numbers.
D
IRECT IPCALLS
Direct IP calling allows two parties, that is, a FXS Port with an analog phone and another VoIP Device, to
talk to each other in an ad hoc fashion without a SIP proxy.
Grandstream Networks, Inc. HT-502 User ManualPage 10 of 31
Firmware 1.0.0.29 Last Updated: 01/2007
Elements necessary to completing a Direct IP Call:
1. Both HT–502 and other VoIP Device, have public IP addresses, or
2. Both HT–502 and other VoIP Device are on the same LAN using private IP addresses, or
3. Both HT–502 and other VoIP Device can be connected through a router using public or private IP
addresses (with necessary port forwarding or DMZ).
To make a direct IP call
1. Pick up the analog phone then access the voice menu prompt by dial “***”
2. Dial “47” to access the direct IP call menu
3. Enter a 12-digit target IP address after the dial tone and voice prompt “Direct IP Calling”
Destination ports can be specified by using “*4” (encoding for “:”) followed by the port number.
Examples:
a) If the target IP address is 192.168.0.160, enter the 12 digit IP address (e.g. 1921680160) after
the voice prompt followed by the “#” key or wait for 4 seconds. The default destination port 5060
is used if no port is specified.
b) If the target IP address/port is 192.168.1.20:5062
, enter the 12 digit IP address + *45062 (e.g.
1921680160*45062) after the voice prompt followed by the “#” key or wait for 4 seconds.
NOTE: When completing direct IP call, the “Use Random Port” should set to “NO”. You can not
direct IP calls between FXS1 to FXS2 since they are using same IP.
CALL HOLD
make
Place a call on hold by pressing the “flash” button on the analog phone (if the phone has that button).
Press the “flash” button again to release the previously held Caller and resume conversation. If no “flash”
button is available, use “hook flash” (toggle on-off hook quickly). You may drop a call using hook flash.
C
ALL WAITING
Call waiting tone (3 short beeps) indicates an incoming call, if the call waiting feature is enabled. Toggle
between incoming call and current call by pressing the “flash” button. First call is placed on hold. Press
the “flash” button to toggle between two active calls.
C
ALL TRANSFER
Blind Transfer
Assume that call Caller A and B are in conversation. A wants to Blind Transfer B to C:
1. Caller A presses FLASH on the analog phone to hear the dial tone.
2. Caller A dials *87 then dials caller C’s number, and then # (or wait for 4 seconds)
3. Caller A can hang up.
NOTE: “Enable Call Feature” must be set to “Yes” in web configuration page.
Grandstream Networks, Inc. HT-502 User ManualPage 11 of 31
Firmware 1.0.0.29 Last Updated: 01/2007
Caller A can place a call on hold and wait for one of three situations:
1. A quick confirmation tone (similar to call waiting tone) followed by a dial tone. This indicates the
transfer is successful (transferee has received a 200 OK from transfer target). At this point,
Caller A can either hang up or make another call.
2. A quick busy tone followed by a restored call (on supported platforms only). This means the
transferee has received a 4xx response for the INVITE and we will try to recover the call. The
busy tone is just to indicate to the transferor that the transfer has failed.
3. Continuous busy tone. The phone has timed out. Note: continuous busy tone does not indicate
the transfer has been successful, nor does it indicate the transfer has failed. It often means there
was a failure to receive second NOTIFY – check firmware for most recent release.
Attended Transfer
Assume that Caller A and B are in conversation. Caller A wants to Attend Transfer B to C:
1. Caller A presses FLASH on the analog phone for dial tone.
2. Caller A then dials Caller C’s number followed by # (or wait for 4 seconds).
3. If Caller C answers the call, Caller A and Caller C are in conversation. Then A can hang up to
complete transfer.
4. If Caller C does not answer the call, Caller A can press “flash” to resume call with Caller B.
NOTE: When Attended Transfer fails and A hangs up, the GXW will ring back user A to remind A that B
is still on the call. A can pick up the phone to resume conversation with B.
3-W
AY CONFERENCING
Bellcore Style 3-way Conference
The HT–502 supports Bellcore Style 3-way Conference only.
Directions for using 3-Way Conferencing:
1. Caller A presses “flash” to receive a dial tone. (Hook Flash for older model phones).
2. Caller A dials Caller C’s number then # (or wait for 4 seconds).
3. If Caller C answers call, then Caller A presses “flash” to bring Parties B & C into conference.
4. If Caller C does not answer the call, Caller A can press “flash” to resume call with Caller B.

T.38FAX
HT–502 supports fax in two modes: 1) T.38 (Fax over IP) and 2) fax pass through.
T.38 is the preferred method because it is more reliable and works well in most network conditions. If the
service provider supports T.38, please use this method by selecting T.38 as fax mode
service provider does not support T.38, pass-through mode may be used.
To send or receive faxes in fax pass through mode, users must select all the Preferred Codecs to be

system will timeout and will start the boot process using the existing code
image in the Flash memory. If a TFTP server is configured and a new code
image is retrieved, the new downloaded image is 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.

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 HT–502 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.
User can select UDP or TCP or TLS.
This parameter defines whether the HT–502 NAT traversal mechanism is
activated or not. If activated (by choosing “Yes”) and a STUN server is also
specified, then the HT–502 performs according to the STUN client
specification. Under this mode, the embedded STUN client will detect if and
what type of firewall/NAT is being used. If the detected NAT is a Full Cone,
Restricted Cone, or a Port-Restricted Cone, the HT–502 will 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
HT–502 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.
User account information, provided by VoIP service provider (ITSP).
Usually in the form of digit similar to phone number or actually a phone
number.

Default is No. If set to “Yes” the client will use DNS SRV to look up server.
If the HT–502 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.
Controls whether the HT–502 needs to send REGISTER messages to the
proxy server. The default setting is Yes.
Default is No. If set to Yes, the SIP user’s registration information will be
cleared on reboot.
Default is No. If set to “Yes,” user can place outgoing calls even when not
registered (if allowed by ITSP) but is unable to receive incoming calls.
This parameter allows the user to specify the time frequency (in minutes)
the HT–502 refreshes its registration with the specified registrar. The
default interval is 60 minutes (or 1 hour). The maximum interval is 65535
minutes (about 45 days).
Defines the local SIP port the HT–502 will listen and transmit. The default
value for FXS port 1 is 5060. The default value for FXS port 2 is 5062.

incoming call is from the Caller ID. System Ring Tone is used for all other
calls. When selected but no Caller ID is configured, the selected ring tone
will be used for all incoming calls.
Default is No.
Default is No.
Incoming call will stop ringing when not picked up given a specific period of
time.
Default is 4 seconds.
Default is No. Use only if proxy supports 484 response. This parameter
controls whether the phone will send an early INVITE each time a key is
pressed when a user dials a number. If set to “Yes”, an INVITE is sent
using the dial-number collected thus far; Otherwise, no INVITE is sent until
the “(Re-)Dial” button is pressed or after about 5 seconds have elapsed if
the user forgets to press the “Re-Dial” button. The “Yes” option should be
used ONLY if there is a SIP proxy configured and the proxy server supports
484 Incomplete Address response. Otherwise, the call will likely be
rejected by the proxy (with a 404 Not Found error).
This feature is NOT designed to work with and should NOT be enabled for
direct IP-to-IP calling.

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
Software upgrades are completed via TFTP or HTTP. The corresponding configuration settings are in the
ADVANCED SETTINGS configuration page.
FIRMWARE UPGRADE THROUGH TFTP/HTTP
Our latest official release can be downloaded from: http://www.grandstream.com/y-firmware.htm. 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).
IVR
METHOD
Firmware server in IP address format can be configured via IVR. If firmware server is in FQDN format, it
must be set via web configuration interface.
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
6688/Grandstream/1.0.0.29 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/1.0.0.29” is the RELATIVE directory to the root dir on HTTP web server.
U
PGRADE 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 HT–502 .
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
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 HT–502 will retrieve the
new image files by downloading them into the HT–502 ’s SRAM. During this stage, the HT–502 ’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 HT–502
will stop the TFTP process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.
A firmware upgrade may take as long as 20 minutes over the Internet, or 20+ seconds if performed on a
LAN. Grandstream recommends conducting firmware upgrades in a controlled LAN environment if
possible.

IP Telephony (Internet Protocol telephony, also known as Voice over IP Telephony) A general term for
the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and
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 packet-switched
networks; the process is reversed at the receiving end. The terms IP Telephony and Internet Telephony
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.

NATs) to find out its public address, the type of NAT it is behind and the internet side port associated by
the NAT with a particular local port. This information is used to set up UDP communication between two
hosts that are both behind NAT routers. The protocol is defined in
RFC 3489. STUN will usually work well
with non-symmetric NAT routers.
TCP Transmission Control Protocol is one of the core protocols of the
Internet protocol suite. Using TCP,
applications on networked hosts can create connections to one another, over which they can exchange
data or
packets. The protocol guarantees reliable and in-order delivery of sender to receiver data.
