Grandstream Networks, Inc. GXW400x User Manual Page 11 of 36
Firmware 1.0.1.8 Last Updated: 5/2008
Five Success Tips when using the Voice Prompt
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. [phone]), 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.
DIRECT IP CALLS
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.
Elements necessary to completing a Direct IP Call:
1. Both GXW400x and other VoIP Device, have public IP addresses, or
2. Both GXW400x and other VoIP Device are on the same LAN using private IP addresses, or
3. Both GXW400x and other VoIP Device can be connected through a router using public or private
IP addresses (with necessary port forwarding or DMZ).
GXW400x supports two ways to make Direct IP Calling:
Using IVR
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 the IP address using format ex. 192*168*0*160 after the dial tone.
Using Star Code
1. Pick up the analog phone then dial “*47”
2. Enter the target IP address using same format as above.
Note: NO dial tone will be played between step 1 and 2.
Destination ports can be specified by using “*” (encoding for “:”) followed by the port number.

Grandstream Networks, Inc. GXW400x User Manual Page 12 of 36
Firmware 1.0.1.8 Last Updated: 5/2008
Examples:
a) If the target IP address is 192.168.0.160, the dialing convention is
*47 or Voice Prompt with option 47, then 192*168*0*160.
followed by pressing the “#” key if it is configured as a send key or wait 4 seconds. In this case,
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, then the dialing convention would be:
*47 or Voice Prompt with option 47, then 192*168*0*160*5062 followed by pressing the “#” key
if it is configured as a send key or wait for 4 seconds.
NOTE: When completing direct IP call, the “Use Random Port” should set to “NO”. You can not make
direct IP calls between FXS1 to FXS2 since they are using same IP.
CALL HOLD
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.
CALL WAITING
Call waiting tone (2 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.
CALL TRANSFER
BLIND TRANSFER
Assume that call Caller A and B are in conversation. A wants to Blind Transfer B to C:
3. Caller A presses FLASH on the analog phone to hear the dial tone.
4. Caller A dials *87 then dials caller C’s number, and then # (or wait for 4 seconds)
5. Caller A will hear the confirm tone. Then, A can hang up.
NOTE: “Enable Call Feature” must be set to “Yes” in web configuration page.
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:

Grandstream Networks, Inc. GXW400x User Manual Page 13 of 36
Firmware 1.0.1.8 Last Updated: 5/2008
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 GXW400x 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-WAY CONFERENCING
The GXW400x supports Bellcore style 3-way Conference.
Instructions for 3-way conference:
Assuming that call party A and B are in conversation. A (GXW400x) wants to bring C in a conference:
1. A presses FLASH (on the analog phone, or Hook Flash for old model phones) to get a dial
tone.
2. A dials C’s number then # (or wait for 4 seconds).
3. If C answers the call, then A presses FLASH to bring B, C in the conference.
4. If C does not answer the call, A can press FLASH back to talk to B.
5. If A presses FLASH during conference, C will be dropped out.
6. If A hangs up, the conference will be terminated for all three parties when configuration
“Transfer on Conference Hangup” is set to “No”. If the configuration is set to “Yes”, A will
transfer B to C so that B and C can continue the conversation.
HUNTING GROUP
This feature allows user to setup a single SIP account on the gateway and have the ability to use all FXS
ports to make/receive calls. Using this feature, all ports active in same hunt group will have the same
phone number and incoming calls will be distributed in a round robin manner among the ports active in
that hunt group. The number of hunting groups is limited by the number of ports each GXW model has -
i.e. each port can be its own hunt group. The most practical and efficient way to use hunt groups is to
assign 2 or 3 ports to separate hunt groups.
One additional and popular way to use the Hunting Group feature is called “multiplexed analog lines”. In
this configuration, a legacy PBX system with 8 FXO trunks can be connected to 8 GXW 4008 ports
configured as a hunt group. The GXW can be registered to a SIP server provider using only one phone
number. If the SIP service provider allows multiple calls to the same number, the GXW will allow 8
concurrent calls to the same SIP number. All office members can be reached remotely using the same
phone number in round robin fashion.
Example Configuration of a typical Hunting Group:
1. Configure the SIP account from your VoIP Service Provider on FXS port 1 under FXS Ports
webpage.
2. Select Active under the Hunting Group drop box for FXS port 1.
3. For the remaining ports (say 2, 3 and 4) select 1 for Hunting Group. Ports 2, 3 and 4 are now
active members of the hunting group associated with port 1.
This configuration will route all calls directed to FXS port 1 to ports 2, 3 and/or 4 in round robin fashion
respectively if port 1 is busy or times out. You can configure the ring timeout on the Profile page.

FXS Port #2: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "1"
FXS Port #3: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "1"
FXS Port #4: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting group set to "Active"
FXS Port #5: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "4"
FXS Port #6: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "4"
FXS Port #7: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting group set to "Active"
FXS Port #8: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "7"
Hunt Group 1 contains ports 1, 2, 3. Hunt Group 4 contains ports 4, 5, 6.
Hunt Group 7 contains ports 7, 8.
Please be aware, the choice of 1 for ports 2 and 3, the choice of 4 for ports 5 and 6, the choice 7 for port
8 is required to indicate that the SIP account tied to port market as “Active” will be used for all members
of the same Hunting group. Needless to say, those members of the same Hunting group may not be
sequential ports. In following example ports 3, 5 and 7 tied to SIP Account configured in Port #1 marked
as “Active”, and ports 4,6,8 tied to SIP Account configured in Port #2 marked as “Active” as well.
Example of not sequential configuration of a multiple hunt group:
FXS Port #1: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting group set to "Active"
FXS Port #2: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting Group set to "Active"
FXS Port #3: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "1"
FXS Port #4: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting group set to "2"
FXS Port #5: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "1"
FXS Port #6: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "2"
FXS Port #7: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting group set to "1"
FXS Port #8: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "2"
Note: A single call directed to the SIP account will NOT result in all ports ringing at the same time. They
will ring in the hunting group only. This feature is applicable to incoming calls only.
INTER-PORT CALLING
In some cases a user may want to make phone calls between GXW ports when the gateway will be used
as stand alone unit, without any SIP server. This feature will also be applicable when the gateway is used
in mode Hunting Groups and will be registered to SIP server only with one master number. In such cases
users still will be able to make inter-port calls by using the IVR feature. For example the user connected
to port 1 can reach the user connected to port 3 by dialing *** and 73. Digit 7 indicated using inter-port
calling feature, digit 3 indicates port number which should be reached. At the same manner the user
connected to port 4 can reach the user connected to port 8 by dialing *** and 78.
PSTN PASS THROUGH/LIFE LINE
The RJ-11 line jack on the GXW400x side connected to legacy PSTN line, functions as a pass through
jack when the GXW400x loses power or becomes unregistered. In this case, analog phone connected to
FXS port 1 will be directly connected to RJ-11 jack marked as LINE. The pass through/life line mode
enables the user to use the analog phone for PSTN calls directly without using an access code.

SENDING AND RECEIVING FAX
GXW400x 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 (default). If the service
provider does not support T.38, pass-through mode may be used. If you have problems with sending or
receiving Fax, toggle the Fax Tone Detection Mode setting.
SUPPORT RADIUS PROTOCOL
GXW400x supports RADIUS for authentication, authorization and billing purposes. Primary and
secondary RADIUS server configurations are available to provide redundancy to this feature. In case
Primary Radius server becomes unusable, RADIUS requests will be automatically sent to the secondary
server. When at least one RADUIS server was configured, the device will allow users to make phone calls
only after authorization from RADIUS server has been received. CDR (Call Detail Record) is also sent to
the RADIUS server for billing purposes. RAIDUS server can send requests to terminate calls when run
out of pre-paid credit.

CONFIGURING GXW400X WITH WEB BROWSER
The GXW400x has an embedded Web server that allows users to configure the GXW400x through a
Web browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox
ACCESS THE WEB CONFIGURATION MENU
The GXW400x HTML configuration menu can be accessed via LAN or WAN port:
From the LAN port:
1. Directly connect a computer to the LAN port.
2. In Windows, open a ‘Command Prompt’ window
3. Type in “ipconfig /release”, the IP address etc. becomes 0.
4. Type in “ipconfig /renew”, the computer gets an IP address in 192.168.2.x segment by default
5. Open a web browser, type in the default gateway IP address. http://192.168.2.1. You will see the
login page of the device.
From the WAN port:
The WAN port HTML configuration option is disabled by default from factory. To access the HTML
configuration menu from the WAN port:
1. Enable the “WAN Port Web Access” option via IVR option 12.
2. Find the WAN IP address of the GXW400x using voice prompt menu option 02.
3. Access the GXW400x Web Configuration page via WAN port using the following URL:
http://GXW400x -IP-Address (the GXW400x IP-Address is the WAN IP address for the
GXW400x).
NOTE: If using a web browser to enter the configuration page, strip the leading “0”s because the browser
will parse in octet. (i.e. if the IP address is: 192.168.001.014, please type in: 192.168.1.14).
Once the HTTP request is entered and sent from a Web browser, the user will see a log in screen. There
are two default passwords for the login page:
User Level: Password: Web pages allowed:
End User Level 123 Only Status and Basic Settings
Administrator Level admin Browse all pages
Only an administrator can access the “ADVANCED SETTINGS” configuration page.

IMPORTANT SETTINGS
The end-user must configure the following settings according to the local environment.
NOTE: Most settings on the web configuration pages are set to the default values.
NAT Settings
If you plan to keep the gateway within a private network behind a firewall, we recommend using STUN
Server. The following three (3) settings are useful in the STUN Server scenario:
1. STUN Server (under Advanced Settings webpage)
Enter a STUN Server IP (or FQDN) that you may have, or look up a free public STUN Server on the
internet and enter it on this field. If using Public IP, keep this field blank.
2. Use Random Ports (under Advanced Settings webpage)
It really depends on your network settings, so set this parameter to Yes or No, whichever works.
Generally if you have multiple IP devices under the same network, it should be set to Yes. If using a
Public IP address, set this parameter to No.
3. NAT Traversal (under the Profile web pages)
Set this to Yes when gateway is behind firewall on a private network.
DTMF Methods
DTMF Settings are in Profile pages.
•DTMF in-audio
•DTMF via RTP (RFC2833)
•DTMF via SIP INFO
Enable one or more DTMF methods based on your PBX system.
Preferred VOCODER (Codec)
The GXW400x supports a broad range of voice codecs. Under Profile web pages, choose your preferred
order of different codecs:
•PCMU/A (or G711µ/a)
•G729 A/B/E
•G723
•G726 (16/24/32/40)
•iLBC
