Grandstream Analog IP Gateway GXW410x Quick Installation Guide
WARNING: Please DO NOT power cycle the GXW410x during system boot up or firmware upgrade.
You may corrupt firmware images and cause the unit to malfunction.
WARNING: Use only the power adapter included in the GXW410x package. Using an alternative non-
qualified power adapter may possibly damage the unit.
Overview
The GXW410x offers an easy to manage, easy to configure IP communications solution for any small
business or businesses with virtual and/or branch locations who want to leverage their broadband
network and/or add new IP Technology to their current phone system. The Grandstream Enterprise
Analog VoIP Gateway GXW410x series converts SIP/RTP IP calls to traditional PSTN calls. There are
two models - the GXW4104 and GXW4108, which have either 4 and 8 FXO ports respectively. The
installation is the same for both models.
A SIP proxy server such as Asterisk or a SIP registrar server can be deployed with the GXW410x series.
In this environment, the SIP server handles SIP registration and call control and the GXW410x processes
media conversion between IP and PSTN calls. By design, the system supports the North American call
progress tones and signaling standards on PSTN sides.

METHOD 2 Configure GXW410x to function as a PEER
gateway
(No SIP accounts needed; only used for one-stage
dialing)
METHOD 1 (Configuration):
Please follow the steps below:
1. Enter a SIP Server IP Address (or FQDN ex. sip.mysipserver.com) in the SIP Server field under
Profile 1 page.
2. Go to the Channels page and enter up to 8 accounts/extensions along with their Authentication ID
and Authentication Passwords, and select the corresponding Profile.
Channels SIP
User
ID
Authen
ID Authen Password Profile ID
1 101 101 *** Profile1
2 102 102 *** Profile1
3 103 103 *** Profile1
4 104 104 *** Profile1
5 105 105 *** Profile1
6 106 106 *** Profile1
7 107 107 *** Profile1
8 108 108 *** Profile1
3. One of the most important settings on the GXW410x is the “Stage Method” setting under FXO
Lines page. You can set this different (1 or 2) for each Channel. For simplicity purposes please keep
Stage Method to 2.
Ex. Stage Method (1/2): Ch1-8:2;
4. Click on Update and Reboot the unit. When the GXW410x boots up, click on “Status Page” to
check if the Account/extensions show up as “Registered:Yes”. If not, please double check the passwords
or network settings.
5. Once the accounts are registered to the SIP Server, you should be able to make VoIP to PSTN
calls (assuming you have physical PSTN Lines connected to the FXO Ports at the back panel of the unit).
Below is an example showing VoIP-to-PSTN call flow:
yAccounts 101 to 108 registered on the Channels page to SIP Server A.
yIP Phone with Account 201 registered to the same SIP Server A.
yPSTN Line X is connected to FXO X port on GXW-410x.
a. 201 dials 101 (or 102/103/104/105/106/107/108).
b. It will hear ring back tone and then PSTN dial tone played from PSTN Line X.
c. 201 can dial out via PSTN Line X.
6. PSTN-to-VoIP call flow:
a. PSTN number Y dials PSTN number X (connected to FXO1 on the gateway)
b. Y gets ring back tone and then VoIP dial tone played from 101 (only)
Note: VoIP-to-PSTN calls function in round robin fashion, so the next available port is selected to route
the call. PSTN-to-VoIP calls depend on the PSTN line you are calling and will be routed to the
corresponding VoIP Account on that channel.

Note: Generally for two-stage dialing the “Wait for Dial Tone” field under FXO Lines page should be set to
N (No) Ex. Wait for Dial Tone: ch1-8:N;
7. For One Stage Dialing, before you configure the GXW-410x you need to make sure the SIP
Server is configured to forward certain calls (ex. external calls dialed with a prefix, etc) to the GXW-410x.
8. On the GXW410x, you need to change the Stage Method field to 1. ex. Ch1-8:1;
9. Based on the prefix you have configured on the SIP Server (ex. 91), if a user dials any number
91-xxx-xxxx, it will be routed to the GXW-410x, which will route it to the PSTN directly.
10. Next you need to enter a VoIP account number for “Unconditional Call Forward to VOIP” under
FXO Lines page. This account generally will be a dummy account on your SIP Server used simply to be a
forwarding number for all incoming PSTN calls on the GXW410x. Ex. Unconditional Call Forward to VOIP:
ch1-8:500;
So now all incoming PSTN calls will directly be forwarded to 500 on SIP Server A.
Note: In regions other than North American, user is also required to configure call progress tones and
PSTN line termination fields. Check with local PSTN service carriers on values service providers use on
the lines. If service provider doesn’t provide those values and users don’t know what the correct values
are, please use the default values. Please contact product support if you still have questions about
configuring your GXW-410x.
METHOD 2 (Configuration):
1. In this scenario, you do not need any SIP accounts. So simply keep the Channels table shown above
blank.
2. You will still need to enter a SIP Server IP Address (or FQDN) in the SIP Server field under Profile 1
page.
3. Since this scenario works only with one-stage dialing, you will have to set Stage Method to 1. Ex.
Stage Method: ch1-8:1;
4. It is advised to have “Wait for Dial Tone” field under FXO Lines page set to Y (Yes). Ex. Wait for Dial
Tone: ch1-8: Y;
Other Important Settings:
Most of the settings on the web configuration pages should be kept to default value. But there are some
settings that need to be configured according to the local network environment.
A. PSTN Settings
The fields which need to be set according to the PSTN Service provider (or PSTN PBX) are:
1. Call Progress Tones (under Channels page)
(Dial Tone, Ring back Tone, Busy Tone, Reorder Tone, Confirmation Tone)
These should be set according to the PSTN Service Provider or PSTN PBX that you are using with the
GXW-410x. The format and syntax are shown on the web GUI. By default they are set according to North
American PSTN settings.
2. Caller ID Scheme (under FXO Lines page)
There are 5 different options to choose from:

Bellcore, ETSI_RING, ETSI_TAS, DTMF and NTT
B. DTMF Methods
Note: The DTMF Method field under Channels page applies ONLY to PSTN to VOIP calls, not VOIP to
PSTN.
The gateway allows several combinations of sending DTMF across from PSTN to the IP end.
Setting DTMF Method
1 In-audio
2 RTP (RFC2833)
3 In-audio + RTP (RFC2833)
4 SIP INFO
5 In-audio + SIP INFO
6 RTP (RFC2833) + SIP INFO
7 In-audio + RTP (RFC2833) +
SIP INFO
Ex. To set DTMF Method as in-audio: DTMF Method (1-7): ch1-8:1
C. NAT Settings
If the GXW410x is connected behind a firewall, an Outbound Proxy or a STUN server must be configured to
solve the NAT issue. Here are four settings that can be useful in such a scenario:
1. STUN Server (under Advanced Settings page)
Enter a STUN Server IP or FQDN in this field.
2. Outbound Proxy (Under Profile pages)
Enter an Outbound Proxy server IP or FQDN.
3. Use Random Ports (under Advanced Settings page)
By default, this field is set to No. It may needs to be set to “Yes” depending on your network environment.
4. NAT Traversal (under Profile pages)
Set to Yes.
D. Preferred VOCODER (Codec)
Under Profile pages, you can choose from the following different codecs:
PCMU (or G711u), PCMA (or G711a), G729A/B, G723 and GSM.
E. Firmware Upgrade
Under Advanced Settings page, enter “Firmware Server Path” (IP address or FQDN) under “Firmware Upgrade
and Provisioning” field. Select upgrade protocol TFTP or HTTP accordingly. By default, “Always Check for New
Firmware” is selected.
F. Factory Reset
The ONLY way to set the GXW410x to factory default is by following the steps below:
1. Unplug the Ethernet cable.
2. Locate a needle sized hole on the back panel of the gateway unit next to the Power connection.
3. Enter a pin in this hole and press for about 7 seconds.
4. You will see the LAN port LEDs (green and orange) go off and on simultaneously; this indicates the
reset went through.
