Provisioning SIP Device - Grandstream (Not NEWT Supplied)

Provision the Grandstream phone to work with your NEWT Cloud Account

**The following instructions ONLY pertain to Grandstream 2135, 2140 and 2170 devices purchased outside of NEWT**

Capture the NEWT Cloud Account SIP Device Credentials

  1. First go to the NEWT Cloud Portal and navigate to the Users tab in the Smart PBX App
    • Go to the Devices Column of the user and click on the Device icon
    • Select the device labelled SIP device or the device that has the handset icon
    • Capture the Device Name, SIP Username, SIP Password (click in the box to reveal the password) and the Realm. Once you have that information captured, continue to the "Provisioning Set Up" instructions below
    • Important step! Go to Advanced -> Miscellaneous and ensure that Encrypt the Audio is selected

Connect the Handset

  1. Connect the handset to the internet line using the LAN port on the back of the phone.
  2. Then connect the handset to your computer, using the phone port on the back of the phone.
  3. If this is NOT a new "out of the box" phone, factory reset the handset. Otherwise skip these steps
    • On your Handset, press the center navigational button on the phone
    • Go to System-> Factory Reset

Log in to the Devices WebUI

  1. On your Handset, navigate to the Menu by selecting the center direction button to retrieve the IP Address from the phone
    • Go to status -> Network Status -> IPv4 Address
  2. Enter the IP Address into your browser (You may need to enter https:// before the IP)
    • Enter the username and password. By default, the username and password are "admin", but this may have been changed in the past. You will be asked to update the login in password. We recommend using "admin1"
  3. Upgrade the Firmware for this device
    • Go to Maintenance
    • Select Upgrade and Provisioning from the drop-down menu.
