It feels like the Grandstream 4FXO is a good gateway for its price, but setting it up and getting it to work with the minimum documentation is a real challenge that not everyone would like to take on. The setup of the box requires it to be connected to a LAN equipped with DHCP and then finding out which IP it has been assigned. There is an application (which requires a few more pieces of software) to install and a long time to wait for it to detect a box that is more complicated than it looks. I have access to the network at work In the past, I've detected a few Cisco phones In order to find it, I had to go through them one by one. In the house As I was unable to locate the box, I had to check the DHCP leasing in the router, and I had to check all the Despite its time consuming nature The method works best when one has full access to the Internet and a certain level of technical knowledge. I can see that the HTML setup is pretty straightforward However, many things are left unexplained, so you have to research forums in order to find what the correct parameter value is. The typical setup would be as follows In this case, the box would be Although it's registered on the SIP server, it can't be tracked, as there are no logs. There is a lot of trial and error involved in outgoing calls before a proper configuration is found. Getting incoming phone calls is simply impossible for me. A dial tone is produced after one or two rings of the box. There were many parameters I changed Still, the behavior did not seem to As a final note*br*br As long as you are able to spend the time, it's possible The box is supposed to be reliable, but I haven't tested it myself It is a good place to look, but if you are pressed for time you are better looking.
It's a 4 out of 5 This is a four port FXO SIP device, which allows you to connect up to four regular telephone lines to a free software PBX such as PBX in a Flash or FreePBX. Grandstream offers instructions for configuring the product on its web site, which is relatively easy to use This is also the most cost-effective of the four sites SIP device with FXO port The cost of other options is usually around $400 and they do not include any support. A similar device can be purchased for about.
Once set up, though, it does exactly what it says!.
Despite the fact that the product works and the hardware is ok, the software interface (firmware) is quite problematic. If the documentation were good, then this could be mitigated. It is really very difficult to understand the documentation. The writing is awful, it often misses key information, and it may just plain be inaccurate.
This web interface is similar to those of Grandstream's other Item 503). have not had to reboot the unit due to hang ups or other malfunctions, and the price is good in comparison to The overall experience is very positive. I would recommend it highly.
There isn't a lot of clarity in the Web UI regarding where different functions may be located, but with the help of forum posts, I was able to set it up with FreePBX.
I followed the instructions on the internet and now I have four Time Warner digital lines working successfully. The only problem is I can't set up 4 trunks to work and I have to use all 4 DID together on a single Ringing would only be heard from one trunk. A new line can be added in the truck settings but since it is well suited to the needs of a single trunk, I have not tried it yet.
It seems to work. I found the setup to be not so intuitive, and the documentation doesn't provide much assistance. The setup of SIP is really something that needs some experience to pull off. Stand-alone configurations don't work very well. It is best configured with a SIP server so that the call can be forwarded. There are asterisks. If you want multiple phones per line, conferencing, etc, then you need a SIP server. It can work with a SIP phone directly, but only if you have one phone per line. Since I have been using this feature for a few months, it has been performing consistently well.
