OVERVIEW OF FUNCTIONS

Grandstream GRP Carrier-Grade IP Phones supports Busy Lamp Filed (BLF) feature. GRP26XX supports

this feature by changing the color and status of the MPK indicators, associated with the monitored users.

GRP26XX phones support this feature by changing the LED keys color and status on the MPKs on phone

body. Additionally, the phone system is also able to pick up the calls to the monitored extensions.

CONFIGURATION VIA WEB BROWSER

GRP26XX embedded Web server responds to HTTP/HTTPS GET/POST requests. Embedded HTML

pages allow a user to configure the IP phone through a Web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla

Firefox, …

To access the Web GUI:

1. Connect the computer to the same network as the phone;

2. Make sure the phone is turned on and shows its IP address. You may check the IP address from the

phone’s keypad menu under Status => Network Status;

3. Open a Web browser on your computer;

4. Enter the phone’s IP address in the address bar of the browser;

5. Enter the administrator’s login and password to access the Web Configuration Menu

Notes:

•The computer has to be connected to the same sub-network as the phone. This can be easily done by

connecting the computer to the same hub or switch as the phone connected to. In absence of a

hub/switch (or free ports on the hub/switch), please connect the computer directly to the PC port on

the back of the phone;

•If the phone is properly connected to a working Internet connection, the IP address of the phone will

display in MENU->Status->Network Status. This address has the format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx

stands for a number from 0-255. Users will need this number to access the Web GUI. For example, if

the phone has IP address 192.168.40.154, please enter "http://192.168.40.154" in the address bar of

the browser;

VISUAL INDICATORS

the LED colors.

For example, if the monitored extension is ringing, the BLF indicator status will be changed from solid

green to blinking red; and if the monitored extension answers the call, the BLF indicator status will be

changed from blinking red to solid red.
