Setting up a Grandstream GXP2170 with VOIP.ms

These are the settings that I used to get the Grandstream GXP2170 working on voip.me. I used a combination of guides here on the wiki and other resources. I am not sure that all these settins are needed, but this combination of settings got the phone working for me.

Note:

• If you want to use the BLF feature, you will need to contact voip.ms support and request that they activate it for the server that you are using.
• If you are going to be using an incoming DID number, you must ensure it's setup in the DID's settings to forward to the server you are going to be connecting to.
• These instructions setup encrypted SIP traffic. You will want to ensure that this is activated in your sub-account advanced settings.
• I am starting out with a phone running firmware 1.0.9.135 and starting from a clean factory default.

What you need to get started

To get started, you will need the following:

• A Grandstream GXP2170 IP Phone
• Valid login credentials for a voip.ms account or sub account
• The server you want to use (I'll be using denver1.voip.ms here)

You will also need to know the IP address if your phone. The phone by default will pull an IP address via DHCP. To check the IP address of your phone you:

1. Press the center hat button
2. Select "Status" (or press 2)
3. Select "Network Status"
4. Find the IP address the phone us using (I'll be using 10.1.10.137 in my example here)

Connecting to the phone

Connect to the phone via browser of your choice. If this is the first time you have logged into the phone, you will be prompted to update the password. The default username/password are both admin.
