ADVANCED USER SETTINGS

ADVANCED USER CONFIGURATION

The end­user needs to login to the advanced user configuration page the same way as for the basic configuration page.

Advanced User configuration includes the end­user configuration and advanced configurations including: SIP configuration, Codec selection, NAT Traversal Setting and other miscellaneous configuration.

TABLE 8: ADVANCED CONFIGURATION PAGE DEFINITIONS

 

 

 

 

 

Admin

Administrator password. Only the administrator can configure the “Advanced Settings” page.

 

Password

Password field is purposely left blank for security reasons. The maximum password length is 25

 

 

characters.

 

G723 Rate

G723 encoding rate (6.3kbps or 5.3kbps)

 

Voice Frames

This field contains the number of voice frames to be transmitted in a single packet. When setting

 

per Tx

this value, the user should be aware of the requested packet time (used in SDP message) as a

 

 

result of configuring this parameter. This parameter is associated with the first vocoder in the

 

 

above vocoder Preference List or the actual used payload type negotiated between the 2

 

 

conversation parties at run time.

 

 

For example if the first vocoder is configured as G723 and the “Voice Frames per TX” is set to be

 

 

2, then the “ptime” value in the SDP message of an INVITE request will be 60ms because each

 

 

G723 voice frame contains 30ms of audio. Similarly, if this field is set to be 2 and if the first

 

 

vocoder chosen is G729 or G711 or G726, then the “ptime” value in the SDP message of an

 

 

INVITE request will be 20ms.

 

 

If the configured voice frames per TX exceeds the maximum allowed value, the gateway will use

 

 

and save the maximum allowed value for the corresponding first vocoder choice. The maximum

 

 

value for PCM is 10(x10ms) frames; for G726, it is 20 (x10ms) frames; for G723, it is 32 (x30ms)

 

 

frames; for G729/G728, 64 (x10ms) and 64 (x2.5ms) frames respectively.

 

Layer 3 QoS

This field defines the layer 3 QoS parameter which can be the value used for IP Precedence or

 

 

Diff­Serv or MPLS. Default value is 48. Its range lies from 0 to 63.

 

Layer 2 QoS

This contains the value used for layer 2 VLAN tag.

 

 

802.1q / VLAN tag: Default value is 0. Range lies from 0 to 4095.

 

 

802.1p Priority value: Default value is 0. Range lies from 0 to 7.

 

 

*** The above 2 settings need to be supported on the network and then configured accordingly on

 

 

the GXW410x. Incorrect configuration will cause blocked access, which will result in Factory Reset

 

 

as the only option to renew access.

 

Local RTP port

This parameter defines the local RTP­RTCP port pair the GXW410x will listen and transmit. It is

 

 

the base RTP port for channel 0. When configured, channel 0 will use this port _value for RTP and

 

 

the port_value+1 for its RTCP; channel 1 will use port_value+2 for RTP and port_value+3 for its

 

 

RTCP and so on. The default value is 5004.

 

Use Random

This parameter, when set to Yes, will force random generation of both the local SIP and RTP ports.

 

Port

This is usually necessary when multiple GXW410xs are behind the same NAT.

 

Keep­alive

This parameter specifies how often the GXW410x sends a blank UDP packet to the SIP server in

 

interval

order to keep the “hole” on the NAT open. Default is 20 seconds.

 

Use NAT IP

NAT IP address used in SIP/SDP message. Default is blank.

GXW410X specifications

Grandstream Networks, a leading provider of IP voice and video communication solutions, has made a significant mark in the telecommunications industry with its GXW410X series of Analog Gateway devices. These gateways serve as a bridge between traditional analog phone systems and modern IP networks, making them an ideal solution for businesses looking to enhance communication efficiency while leveraging existing infrastructure.

At the heart of the GXW410X series is a range of models designed to support different analog port configurations, including the GXW4104, GXW4108, and GXW4116, which provide 4, 8, and 16 FXS ports, respectively. This flexibility allows organizations to choose the right model that fits their specific needs, whether they are a small business or a larger enterprise.

One of the standout features of the GXW410X is its robust SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) support, which facilitates easy connectivity to various VoIP service providers. This capability ensures that users can make and receive VoIP calls over their existing analog lines, reducing operational costs while improving call quality. The device also supports up to 1000 SIP accounts, allowing multiple users to make simultaneous calls without compromising performance.

The GXW410X series provides advanced call management features, including caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, and voicemail, which empowers users to enhance their communication experience. Additionally, it offers integrated NAT (Network Address Translation) support and security features such as built-in firewall and encryption protocols, ensuring secure operations within the IP network.

The scalability of the GXW410X series is another remarkable characteristic. It enables seamless expansion for businesses as they grow, with the ability to easily connect additional analog devices to the network without significant infrastructure changes. Furthermore, the installation and configuration processes are user-friendly, thanks to the intuitive web-based management interface that simplifies monitoring and administration tasks.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is also included in the GXW410X series, allowing devices to receive power via the same Ethernet cable used for data transmission. This feature reduces the need for additional power adapters and simplifies deployment in various environments.

In summary, Grandstream Networks' GXW410X series of Analog Gateways combines sophisticated technology with practical features to deliver a reliable and cost-effective communication solution. With its SIP support, extensive call management options, security measures, and scalability, the GXW410X is an excellent choice for organizations looking to modernize their telephony systems while optimizing their resources. This device epitomizes Grandstream's commitment to quality, reliability, and innovation in the telecommunications space.
