It is not a PoE device, so you must make sure that your power supply can handle the load.
That is correct, you will need to have four distinct DIDs. You can create a hunt group if the number is only one but if there are more, you can do a roll- We have the HT814 over with
The answer is yes, but it's not reliable because I've experienced that multipage faxes (3 or more pages) break down when faxing over VoIP.
No, it doesn't work well enough for sending large files over the Internet. You should go with eFax if you receive a lot of faxes, or even use a traditional phone line/POTS line because nothing beats a fax machine
Selected User Reviews For Grandstream GS-HT814 4 Port Ata with 4 Fxs Ports and Gigabit NAT Router Voip Phone and Device, Black
I am highly satisfied. It broke down last month when I tried using my copper phone line at home. My phone was not working properly, so I requested a repair request through Verizon. As soon as Verizon responded, it was as follows In your area we will not be fixing our copper lines in the future you will have to switch to FIOS. In my case, I have been planning for this eventuality for the past two years on and off. In that light, I began the search for an ATA to connect my house's copper wiring back to the internet, without the $50/month Verizon charge for this service. After exploring several options (Cisco and Linksys models and this one), I opted for this one for two reasons price and ease of use. The first reason was that it had four FXS ports (I had four traditional phone lines connected to the Verizon line) while the Cisco/Linksys units each had two ports. The second reason for choosing this Grandstream model, and which eventually became the final reason, was the fact that within the documentation for the device, I found a setting that allowed pulse dialing support. I had four phones connected to Verizon, one of them an old Western Electric rotary dial pulse phone (the tanks that never die) that the Grandstream ATA supported pulse dialing, so I did not also have to spend an additional $50 on a pulse to tone adapter for it. Also, I can confirm that the device does indeed support pulse dial phones, since I found that an old Western Electric pulse dial phone works just fine with Grandstream. Nothing I found about the Cisco/Linksys ATA supported pulse dial, so this fact gave Grandstream an advantage over them. It has once again performed flawlessly to my expectations since it has now been connected to my home wiring for around a week and a half. In case anyone is wondering, I had already picked out MS) that I intended to use to prepare my presentation Verizon has been planning for the eventual refusal of copper wiring repair. When I have used the unit to make calls, the voice sound quality (I am using the PCMU codec) has been identical to how it was when I was using Verizon's switch. Additionally, I have not experienced any stuttering or echoing. A new feature that I now have that I did not anticipate is also included. I cannot use any two FXS ports on the Grandstream at the same time since the ports are independent of each other MS's system where one can set up internal 'extension' numbers for each phone adapter port to be used for making and receiving While I understand the point of view of another review that the setup is confusing with this unit, I agree with their assessment of the configuration. The configuration of this device may seem a little challenging and confusing to a person with no prior knowledge of VOIP terminology. As a general rule, however, I suspect that any ATA will run into this issue one needs some background knowledge to understand how to set it up, and the ease with which one finds that setup will be determined by how much of that knowledge one possesses.
I am overall very glad to purchase this product, and I anticipate that this unit will pay for itself in a few months. From paying Verizon $50/month, I have been paying (estimated) about $3 - 4. 5 each month since I have been using the product. The cost of Voip is $5 per month. The cost of VoIP service is approximately $1. 50 per minute.
Several times I sought some support to help us set this up with our SIP provider, but I could not find any number. It is a little complicated to set up this ATA compared to the others I have set up so far. Getting assistance from Grandstream can be difficult. I had to open up an account at Grandstream to create a ticket and get assistance. contacted them, they sent me a bunch of links that did not relate to what I had to say. My ticket was replied to with the statement, "We do not provide tech support to the general public. ". To be a certified grandstream technician, you must have a grandstream certification. Unfortunately, I had to return the item since the company does not provide support. It should not be possible to sell to the general public.
These are used to convert SIP trunks to analog lines for digital phone systems that are not SIP capable. These adapters have never given me any technical problems. They are simple to program and provide an easy way to connect cables.
The company refuses to offer a It is a company I would ***AVOID*** at any cost! Amazon has a policy which says you will lose your warranty if you purchase anything through Amazon. You can find that policy on their website.
The smaller/more compact design and less power it consumes appealed to me. If you don't pay attention, you will face problems with connection since the output ports have been reversed from the old model.
I am pleased with the.
Designed for ease of use. I really like this!.
It is pointless to offer Grandstream support. This company doesn't support their products in any way. As a single individual, you're left to your own devices. Objects of junk.
