VoIP settings for Grandstream HT801

[Lutz]

The Grandstream HT801 VoIP adaptor allows for very specific in-depth config, but also may prevent VoIP to work 'out of the box' without specialist knowledge.

• I have a brand new HT801, where I have entered all SIP details provided by exetel,
• and I have left all other settings as default (except "SLIC" which I have set to "AUSTRALIA"),
• but VoIP will not register/connect.

• The HT801's internet connection indicator on the device is on, so it is connected to exetel
• I have triple-checked that the SIP ID + authentication credentials are correct
so that is not an issue.

I have no clue which of the config settings on the HT801 is preventing VoIP to connect,
therefore below is a series of screenshots showing the complete HT801 configuration settings (except passwords).

Please assist by explaining which config setting(s) need to change and what value(s) they need to be set to in order for exetel VoIP to connect.

Thanks!

Hi Lutz,

I have checked the relevant VOIP settings on your screenshots. Voip account is perfectly active from our end and still no registration.

Outbound proxy - insert the same "sip1.exetel.com.au" without keeping it empty.

Only other concern is the password you type there. If it is still not registering, after re typing password and the mentioned outbound proxy, let us know and we will reset the VOIP password and email to you given contact email address.

Any other special settings, it is recommended to contact the modem vendor support.

[Lutz]

Thanks Kavinda,
I have entered the outbound proxy and re-booted, the result is the same, status "not registered".
You can try re-setting the SIP password, although I doubt that will addresses the issue, but won't comment unless password-reset has been tried.

Thank you judep,
I have successfully re-set the VoIP password on my side, which made no difference to the issue, as commented before.

The question comes back to what I had initially requested,

a specification of the required detailed exetel VoIP settings, namely, what are the exetel-specific settings for:

• DHCP Option 120?

• Use Actual Ephemeral Port in Contact with TCP/TLS?
• NAT Traversal?
• DNS Mode?
• DNS SRV use Registered IP?
• Tel URI?
• Outgoing Call without Registration?
• Register Expiration?
• Reregister before Expiration?
• SIP Registration Failure Retry Wait Time?
• Layer 3 QoS?
• Enable RTCP?
• Remove OBP from Route Header?
• Support SIP Instance ID?
• Authenticate server certificate domain?
• Authenticate server certificate chain?
• Use P-Access-Network-Info Header?
• SIP REGISTER Contact Header Uses?
• SIP T1 Timeout?

Did you get this sorted? I have just purchased this model and am waiting for the setup email.

Hi James, yes,
• extetel support wasn't very helpful
• grandstream support was trying hard
• figured it out myself in the end, it turned out that my router - Synology RT2600ac - had defaulted to block traffic to/from the HT801 after I had plugged it in.
That aside, the Synology RT2600ac has a great user interface that is not so hard to understand, just need to look through a number of tabs to find this stuff. This was the only hiccup I ever had with the Synology RT2600ac, it works like a charm and I can highly recommend it. The HT801 works great too.

Thanks. I am still waiting for my setup details, ie, UN & PW. Hopefully soon.
