Prerequisites
PLEASE NOTE: Some Mobile Network Operators restrict the use of VoIP functionality on their network. If this occurs, you will receive the SIP response code '488 Not Acceptable here'. If you have any questions regarding this, please give us a call on 03333 443 443, option 1 or email support@soho66.co.uk.
Before you start, you need to know your VoIP username, password and the server that your number is connected to. You can do this from your Soho66 account, by clicking My Soho, then "Your Numbers", then the telephone number that you wish to connect to. The VoIP username and VoIP password are near the bottom of the page, in a section entitled VoIP Settings.
Step 1: Locating the IP Address
Plug your Grandstream into the LAN and obtain the phone's IP address as follows: Press MENU then the DOWN ARROW and MENU again. The phone's IP address should appear on the phone's screen. Type the web address into a web browser on a local PC. DO NOT include any leading zeros, so 192.168.001.010 should actually be typed 192.168.1.10 into your web browser. You should see the following login screen:
