CALL OPERATIONS
Placing a Phone Call
To make the outgoing calls using your HT813 1. Pick up the handset of the connected phone. 2. Dial the number directly and wait for 4 seconds (Default “No Key Entry Timeout”); or 3. 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. 626-666-7890), 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:
Both HT813 and other VoIP Device, have public IP addresses, or Both HT813 and other VoIP Device are on the same LAN using private IP addresses, or Both HT813 and other VoIP Device can be connected through a router using public or private IP addresses (with necessary port forwarding or DMZ). The HT813 supports two ways to make Direct IP Calling: Using IVR 1. Pick up the analog phone then access the voice menu prompt by dialing “**” 2. Dial “47” to access the direct IP call menu 3. Enter the IP address after the dial tone and voice prompt “Direct IP Calling” Using Star Code 1. Pick up the analog phone then dial “47” 2. Enter the target IP address.
No dial tone will be played between step 1 and 2 and destination ports can be specified using “” (encoding for “:”) followed by the port number.
Examples of Direct IP Calls: a) If the target IP address is 192.168.0.160, the dialing convention is 47 or Voice Prompt with option 47, then 1921680160, 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 19216801605062 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 SIP/RTP Port” should set to “NO”.
Call Hold
You can 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
The call waiting tone (3 short beeps) indicates an incoming call, if the call waiting feature is enabled. To toggle between incoming call and current call, you need to press the “flash” button the first call is placed on hold. Press the “flash” button to toggle between the active calls.
Call Transfer
Blind Transfer
Assume that the call is established between phone A and B are in conversation. The phone A wants to blind transfer phone B to phone C:

1. On the phone A presses FLASH to hear the dial tone. 2. The phone A dials 87 then dials caller C’s number, and then # (or wait for 4 seconds) 3. The phone A will hear the dial tone. Then, A can hang up.
“Enable Call Feature” must be set to “Yes” in web configuration page.
Attended Transfer
Assume that the call is established between phone A and B are in conversation. The phone A wants to attend transfer phone B to phone C: 1. On the phone A presses FLASH to hear the dial tone. 2. Phone A dials the phone C’s number followed by # (or wait for 4 seconds). 3. If phone C answers the call, phones A and C are in conversation. Then A can hang up to complete transfer. 4. If phone C does not answer the call, phone A can press “flash” to resume call with phone B.
When attended transfer fails and A hangs up, the HT813 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 HT813 supports Bellcore style 3-way Conference. To perform the 3-way conference, we assume that the call is established between phone A and B are in conversation. Phone A(HT813) wants to bring third phone C into conference:
1. Phone A presses FLASH (on the analog phone, or Hook Flash for old model phones) to get a dial tone. 2. Phone A dials C’s number then # (or wait for 4 seconds). 3. If phone C answers the call, then A presses FLASH to bring B, C in the conference. 4. If phone C does not answer the call, phone A can press FLASH back to talk to phone B. 5. If phone A presses FLASH during conference, the phone C will be dropped out. 6. If phone A hangs up, the conference will be terminated for all three parties when configuration “Transfer on Conference Hang up” 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.
Call Return
In order to call back to the latest incoming number. 1. Pick up the handset of the connected phone (Off-hook). 2. After hearing the dial tone, input “69” or press “#”. 3. Your phone will automatically call back to the latest incoming number.
All star codes (*XX) related features mentioned above are supported by ATA default settings. If your service provider provides different feature codes, please contact them for instructions.
Voice Mail
VM Notification
The HT813 indicates new voice mail messages using FXS LED and Stutter Tone. The FXS LED on HT813 will start blinking slowly when a new voice mail message is available on corresponding account.

A stutter tone will be played at first few seconds followed by dial tone when picking up the handset.
New VM messages can be also indicated by LED blink, screen display, etc… if they are supported on connected analog phones.
Accessing VM
To retrieve the new voice mail messages received, please refer to following steps:
1. Pick up the handset of the connected phone (stutter tone will be played). 2. Press ** (press the star key three times) to access the IVR menu and wait until you hear “Enter the menu option “. 3. Press 86 and enter your configured password (if exist) to access your voice mail menu.
PSTN Pass Through
HT813 supports PSTN pass through using the FXS port. The user can place and receive PSTN calls using analog phone connected to FXS port.
To receive PSTN calls, pick up the phone when it rings; To complete a PSTN call, press the PSTN access code (00 is default, or any number configured in the web configuration) to switch to the PSTN line, listen for a dial tone, then dial the number. If the HT813 loses power or lost registration with SIP server, device will switch to mode when PSTN line will be transparently connected directly to phone connected to FXS port. It will function as a jack, enabling a direct connection to the PSTN Line.
VoIP-to-PSTN Calls
This function is available using the FXO port. The FXO port functions as a bridge between the Internet and PSTN. The user can remotely use a PSTN line to initiate a call.
To Make a VoIP-to-PSTN Call:
1. Dial the FXO SIP account phone number to establish the VoIP session. The caller will hear the ring back tone once. Then the caller hears either a special continuous tone or a dial tone. The special continuous tone is played if the pin code is configured, otherwise, the caller will hear a dial tone.
2. Enter the PIN code (if configured under the BASIC configuration page). The caller will hear a dial tone and be connected to the PSTN line if the PIN code is valid. If the PIN code is invalid, the continuous tone is played to prompt caller to enter the PIN code again. The user may try up to 3 times to enter a correct PIN code. After three (3) tries, the HT813 hangs up.
3. After the caller hears a dial tone from PSTN line, the caller can place the next call. 4. The user can hit the # key to identify the end of the pin code or wait 4 seconds for a new dial tone and then dialing the PSTN number.
Notes:
Users can choose whether or not to apply password protection for VoIP-to-PSTN calls. A PIN (Pin for PSTN calls) consists of up to 8 numeric digits and can be configured using the BASIC SETTINGS of the web configuration page. By default, there is no password protection. (I.e. there is no authentication required for callers on the use of PSTN line through HT813). When a PIN is configured for VOIP-to-PSTN call flow, the VoIP device that calls into the HT813 FXO account needs to configure RFC2833 or SIP Info for DTMF digit transmission. The special continuous tone is the prompt to enter a valid PIN code. If a caller doesn’t enter a valid PIN, the HT813 times out after 10 seconds. Users may press the “#” key to indicate the end of an input or wait 4 seconds. On the web configuration page, if the “Forward to PSTN” is configured, the second stage dialing format is eliminated, so after dialing into the FXO SIP account number, the PSTN number will be called automatically.
PSTN-to-VoIP Calls
This function is available using the FXO port. The FXO port functions as a bridge between the Internet and PSTN and enables calls to be passed from the PSTN network to VoIP. The user can make VoIP calls remotely by dialing into the FXO line port on HT813.

To Make a PSTN-to-VoIP Call:
1. Make an incoming call to the PSTN line on FXO port. The phone will ring for 4 times by default (this setting is configurable on the FXO port configuration page).
2. If no one answers the call after 4 rings (default configuration), then the caller hears either a special continuous tone (prompting a PIN number) or a dial tone.
3. Enter a valid PIN (if configured under the BASIC configuration page). The caller will hear dial tone and be bridged to VoIP. If an incorrect PIN is input, the continuous tone prompts caller to enter a valid PIN. The caller may try 3 times to enter a valid PIN, if it is invalid the HT813 will hang up.
4. The caller can dial a VoIP number followed by # (or wait for 4 seconds); the VoIP call will be initiated from the SIP account configured on the FXO port.
Notes:
Users can choose whether or not to apply password protection for VoIP-to-PSTN calls. A PIN (Pin for PSTN calls) consists of up to 8 numeric digits and can be configured using the BASIC SETTINGS of the web configuration page. By default, there is no password protection. (I.e. there is no authentication required for callers on the use of PSTN line through HT813). When a PIN is configured for VOIP-to-PSTN call flow, the VoIP device that calls into the HT813 FXO account needs to configure RFC2833 or SIP Info for DTMF digit transmission. The special continuous tone is the prompt to enter a valid PIN code. If a caller doesn’t enter a valid PIN, the HT813 times out after 10 seconds. Users may press the “#” key to indicate the end of an input or wait 4 seconds. On the web configuration page, if the “Forward to VoIP” is configured, the second stage dialing format is eliminated, so after dialing into the FXO SIP account number, the PSTN number will be called automatically.
Route Calls to PSTN
The FXO port enables access to the PSTN network. By default, the HT813 is in VoIP mode at off-hook. If “Route Call to PSTN” is configured, certain calls will be initiated from the FXO PSTN line port. This call feature is especially useful for emergency calls or local telephone calls.
To use this feature, users need to specify a special rule using the dial plan parameter located under FXS Port configuration page. If the dialed digits match the specified prefix, outbound calls will be initiated from the PSTN line.
Note: The route to PSTN feature is only applicable to a phone connected to the FXS Port. The configuration is done using the “dial plan” feature under the FXS tab. An example of the configuration is {L: 911x+}. This shows that only calls that start with 911 are immediately forwarded to the PSTN line. All other numbers will not be routed to the PSTN. A normal # would be: {L: 617x+|x+} or {x+| L: 617x+}
For example, if “Route Call to PSTN” is configured as {L: 626x+}, all outgoing calls starting with 626 will be initiated from the PSTN line.
Forward Calls to PSTN
Any VOIP call may be forwarded to a specified PSTN number. FXO port should be registered with some preconfigured number (for example 1111). Any VoIP extension can dial this FXO account number and will be automatically forwarded to preconfigured PSTN extension.
For example, if the end-user has configured a cell phone number in the field “Forward to PSTN” under BASIC SETTINGS configuration page, all calls will be forwarded to the cell phone number after 4 rings.
Forward Calls to VoIP
By default, each incoming PSTN call is received over the FXS port. The end- user may forward such a call to any preconfigured VoIP extension, in case the call is not answered in a certain number of rings. The Default value of the parameter “Number of Rings” is 4. This parameter located under “FXO Port” configuration page. If during 4 rings, the incoming from the PSTN call is not answered, the call will be forwarded to another VoIP number previously configured in the field: “Forward to VoIP”. This parameter can also be found under BASIC SETTINGS configuration page.

One Stage Dialing
This feature is applicable for VoIP to PSTN calls. Any VoIP extension may dial directly to a local PSTN number if the one-stage dialing feature is activated. This feature is configured under the FXO Configuration page and requires SIP Server configuration and support. The special dial plan feature must be activated in the SIP Server. An outbound call will be sent directly to the assigned FXO port account, where there the HT813 will initiate a call to the local CO. The RequestURI header in the INVITE message contains the phone number used to initiate the call to the local CO.
FAX Support
HT813 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 Fax mode to be T.38 (default). If the service provider does not support T.38, pass-through mode may be used. To send or receive faxes in fax pass through mode, users must select all the Preferred Codecs to be PCMU/PCMA (G.711-µ/a).
Flash Digit Control
If the option “Flash Digit Control” is enabled on web UI, call operations will require different steps as follows:
Call Hold:
Assume that the call is established between phone A and B.
The phone A received a call from C, then it held B to answer C.
Press the “Flash + 1” to hang up the current call (A C) and resume call on hold (B).
Or press “Flash + 2” to hold current call (A C) and resume call on hold (B).
Attended transfer:
Assume that the call is established between phone A and B. The phone A wants to attend transfer phone B to phone C:
1. On the phone A presses FLASH to hear the dial tone. 2. Phone A dials the phone C’s number followed by # (or wait for 4 seconds). 3. If phone C answers the call, phones A and C are in conversation. Then A can press “Flash + 4” to complete transfer.
3-Way Conferencing:
Assume that the call is established, and phone A and B are in conversation. Phone A(HT813) wants to bring third phone C into conference:
1. Phone A presses Flash (on the analog phone, or Hook Flash for old model phones) to get a dial tone. 2. Phone A dials C’s number then # (or wait for 4 seconds). 3. When phone C answers the call, then A can press “Flash +3” to bring B, C in the conference.
NAT SETTINGS
If you plan to keep the HT813 within a private network behind a firewall, we recommend using STUN Server. The following three 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 SIP/RTP Ports (under advanced settings webpage) This setting depends on your network settings. 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 FXS web page) Set this to Yes when gateway is behind firewall on a private network.

DTMF Methods
The HT813 supports the following DTMF mode: · DTMF in-audio · DTMF via RTP (RFC2833) · DTMF via SIP INFO Set priority of DTMF methods according to your preference. This setting should be based on your server DTMF setting.
Preferred Vocoder (Codec)
The HT813 supports following voice codecs. On FXS/FXO Port pages, choose the order of your favorite codecs: · PCMU/A (or G711µ/a) · G729 A/B · G723.1 · G726 · iLBC · OPUS
UPGRADING AND PROVISIONING

(HT813fw.bin) 4. Click “Upload Firmware” and wait few minutes until the new program is loaded.
Always check the status page to see that the program version has changed.
Upgrading via Local TFTP/HTTP Servers
For users that would like to use remote upgrading without a local TFTP/HTTP server, Grandstream offers a NAT-friendly HTTP server. This enables users to download the latest software upgrades for their devices via this server. Please refer to the webpage: https://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware Alternatively, users can download a free TFTP or HTTP server and conduct a local firmware upgrade. A free window version TFTP server is available for download from: http://www.solarwinds.com/products/freetools/free_tftp_server.aspx http://tftpd32.jounin.net/. Instructions for local firmware upgrade via TFTP:
1. Unzip the firmware files and put all of them in the root directory of the TFTP server. 2. Connect the PC running the TFTP server and the phone to the same LAN segment. 3. Launch the TFTP server and go to the File menu->Configure->Security to change the TFTP server’s default setting from “Receive Only” to
“Transmit Only” for the firmware upgrade. 4. Start the TFTP server and configure the TFTP server in the phone’s web configuration interface.

5. Configure the Firmware Server Path to the IP address of the PC. 6. Save and Apply the changes and reboot the HT813.
End users can also choose to download a free HTTP server from http://httpd.apache.org/ or use Microsoft IIS web server.
Firmware and Configuration File Prefix and Postfix
Firmware Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the firmware name with the matching Prefix and Postfix. This makes it the possible to store all of firmware with different version in one single directory. Similarly, Config File Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the configuration file with the matching Prefix and Postfix. Thus, multiple configuration files for the same device can be stored in one directory.
In addition, when the field “Check New Firmware only when F/W pre/suffix changes” is set to “Yes”, the device will only issue firmware upgrade request if there are changes in the firmware Prefix or Postfix.
Managing Firmware and Configuration File Download
When “Automatic Upgrade” is set “Yes, every” the auto check will be done in the minute specified in this field. If set to “daily at hour (0-23)”, Service Provider can use P193 (Auto Check Interval) to have the devices do a daily check at the hour set in this field with either Firmware Server or Config Server. If set to “weekly on day (0-6)” the auto check will be done on the day specified in this field. This allows the device periodically check if there are any new changes need to be taken on a scheduled time. By defining different intervals in P193 for different devices, Server Provider can spread the Firmware or Configuration File download in minutes to reduce the Firmware or Provisioning Server load at any given time
Configuration File Download
Grandstream SIP Devices can be configured via the Web Interface as well as via a Configuration File (binary or XML) through TFTP or FTP/FTPS or HTTP/HTTPS. The Config Server Path is the TFTP or FTP/FTPS or HTTP/HTTPS server path for the configuration file. It needs to be set to a valid URL, either in FQDN or IP address format. The Config Server Path can be the same or different from the Firmware Server Path.
A configuration parameter is associated with each particular field in the web configuration page. A parameter consists of a Capital letter P and 2 to 3 (Could be extended to 4 in the future) digit numeric numbers. i.e., P2 is associated with the “New Password” in the Web GUI->Maintenance>Web/SSH Access page->Admin Password. For a detailed parameter list, please refer to the corresponding firmware release configuration template.
When the HT813 boots up or reboots, it will send a request to download a file named “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx” followed by a configuration XML file named “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml”, where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the MAC address of the phone, i.e., “cfg000b820102ab” and “cfg000b820102ab.xml”. If the download of “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml” file is not successful, the provision program will download a generic cfg.xml file. The configuration file name should be in lower case letters.
For more details on XML provisioning, please refer to: https://documentation.grandstream.com/knowledge-base/sip-device-provisioning- guide/
