The Grandstream HT503 ATA is a single port FXO and single port FXS device packaged together in a compact chassis.
This device may be ulized for many purposes:
• Analog Backup line for incoming and outgoing calls on FXO port
• Local or Remote Fax on FXS port
• Local or remote phone on FXS port
The FXO and FXS ports operate independently of each other. For example, the HT503 can provide phone or fax service
on the FXS port while simultaneously providing an analog back up connecon on the FXO port.
Overview of the Installaon Process:
The HT503 is normally pre-congured for use with our StarSystem Hybrid telephone system. In most cases, the install-
er can connect the HT503 to the customer’s network along with the appropriate analog telephone connecons.
If the provided conguraon needs to be changed, it is possible to eld-program the HT503 using the instrucons
detailed later in this document.
Connecng the HT503:
The rear panel of the HT503 has a power connecon, two RJ11 telephone connectors, and two RJ45 network connec-
tors, as shown in this picture:

The connectors are used as follows:
Connector Purpose
DC 12V Power connector. Connect the provided AC power supply here. Note that the HT503 does not
operate on Power over Ethernet (PoE)
LAN Connecon for a laptop computer. Use this connecon for eld re-conguraon of the HT503
WAN Connecon to the local network (if used as a local device) or to a WAN connecon (if used as a
remote device)
Phone Connecon for an FXS (staon) device such as an analog telephone or a fax machine
Line Connecon for an FXO (Oce) device, usually an analog phone line for backup operaon
Note that the LAN port is only used to access the HT503’s built-in conguraon server from a connected laptop. This is
necessary to perform the inial conguraon. Aer the device is congured, the LAN cable can be disconnected.
Pre-Installaon Conguraon:
Insure that the HT503 device has been added to the customer system and correctly provisioned using the Star2Star
portal. Analog phone and fax extensions can be congured via the Extensions page in the Star2Star Portal. Analog
backup is congured via the Analog backup / Operator page in the Star2Star Portal.
See this arcle for details on the portal conguraon.
The HT503 may be congured for either local (On-Net) or remote (o-net) use. If you are re-deploying an HT503 that
has already been congured, follow the direcons under “Factory Reset” below, and then congure the device for ei-
ther local or remote operaon. A device congured for local operaon will not work as a remote device, and vice-ver-
sa, so it is important to apply the correct conguraon to the HT503.
If you are unsure about the current conguraon, perform the factory reset and then congure the device.
Factory Reset Procedure:
1. Unplug the cable from the WAN or LAN Port
2. Locate the small hole on the back panel of the gateway unit between the WAN and power connectors.
3. Insert a straightened paper clip or other thin tool into the hole, and press for about 7 seconds. Once removed,
the device will be Reset to Factory Sengs.
Conguring as a Local Device:
1. Connect an ethernet cable from a laptop computer to the LAN port on the HT503 device.
Important: The computer must be congured to obtain an IP address automacally using DHCP.
2. Connect an ethernet cable to the local network using the WAN port.
3. Launch a web Browser andirect the browser to hp://192.168.2.1. You will see the HT503 login screen.
4. Leave the user name blank, and enter the password, which is “admin” (all lower case)
5. You will see the main conguraon menu.

6. Select “Advanced Sengs”. Scroll down to Firmware Upgrade & Provisioning: Upgrade VIA, select HTTP.
Enter the remote server URL: rmt1-chi-star2star.com
7. Using the HT503 conguraon menu, congure the WAN port to use vlan 41
8. Once connected to switch on vlan 41, the 503T device will obtain the necessary conguraon. This will allow
device registraon.
9. The HT503 is now ready to use.
10. Once registered, the HT503 will be able to make and receive inbound and outbound calls.
Conguring as a Remote Device:
The HT503 can operate as a remote device, but it requires installaon-specic conguraon informaon to
operate. Please contact Star2Star Technical Support for assistance.
HT503 Status Lights:
There are ve status lights on the HT503 front panel.
Light Meaning
Power Green when connected to power
WAN Green when connected to a WAN connecon
LAN Green when connected to a LAN connecon
Phone Green when a phone is connected and o-hook
Line Green when connected analog line is in use
