This unit is an Analog-to-SIP convertor, allowing you to connect a regular analog phone to our VoIP Services. This is a 4 Port FXS unit, meaning it can do analog voice phones, but not fax machines/devices (FXO).

The easiest way to get the HT814's IP is by running a simple scan and trying various IP's from the result in your browser that show port 80 open. We hightly recommend The Angry IP Scanner https://angryip.org/. Easy to use, Free.
- The default login/password combo is admin/admin. If you received the unit from us, you may need to inquire as to what we set as the password.
- Once logged in, navigate to FXS PORT 1 (tab at the top)

- Important note about Analog : Due to the way analog phones work, every phone connected in chain to this one physical port on the Grandstream 814 will 'ring' when this extension is called. Likewise, only one phone on this chain can be used at a time. This is the nature of 'analog', how phones were for most of the 20th century.
