Grandstream BT100 setting with Vbuzzer

[admin]

Thanks to some kind and supportive customers, we are now able to post the setting that are verified to work with Vbuzzer. This is for Grandstream BT100, more posts will follow for other hardware brands.

Grandstream BudgeTone-100 series IP phones looks and feels like standard traditional telephones. There are two models in the BudgeTone-100 family, including BudgeTone-101 and BudgeTone-102. The difference between BT101 and BT102 is that the two RT-45 ports of BT102 is actually a 10Base-T mini-Hub. A user can use this mini-Hub to share or sniffer the network using another data device like PC.


Step1. Connect the Grandstream BT100 to an Internet connection by the following steps.
A. Plug the Ethernet cable into the “LAN” port of the Grandstream BT100 in order to connect it to a router or an Internet connection.
B. Connect the power cord to the Grandstream BT100


Step2. Set the Grandstream BT100 to the factory default setting
If you ONLY want to change some items of setting, please skip this step.
A. Find the MAC address of the Grandstream. It is a 12 digits HEX number located on the bottom of the unit.
B. Encode the MAC address. The encode mapping is followed:
0-9: 0-9
A: 22 (when pressed “2” twice, the “A” letter will show on the LCD screen)
B: 222
C: 2222
D: 33
E: 333
F: 3333
e.g. if the MAC address is “000B820032e3”, it should be encoded as “0002228200323333”.
C. Restore the factory default setting

1. Press the MENU button.

3. Press the MENU button again.
4. The LCD screen will display an IP address of Grandstream. If this IP address is valid, you can immediately go to Step4. Otherwise, you need to take the following Step C.


C. Configure a static IP address manually if the IP address of the Grandstream BT100 is 0.0.0.0.
1. If the IP address is invalid, please check the following aspects
- The DHCP server does not assign an IP address to the Grandstream. Please configure the DHCP server.

Just signed up today; am planning to use the service but don't have a windows pc on the net, just Redhat 9.
Am interested in the hardware adapters.
My question in regard to the Grandstream is that you are showing local network ip addresses in the settings, and also a stun server setting of stun.mycompany.com, and was wondering if these are correct.

You can use the Linux versio of X-lite. I works fine for me under Xandros and Mepis. ( I also have a Grandstream HT488.)

My PC is working behind a NetGear WG614 Router and I am able to use Vbuzzer softphone for incoming and outgoing calls without any problem.

But when I use it with my GrandStream HandyTone adapter 286 with the configuration setup given above I am able to make only outgoing calls, but incoming calls can not be received.

Since the softphone is working normally, I presume that the hardphone may be using a different port for incoming calls from that used by the softphone.

Anyone has any possible solutions for this problem.

Is it likely that if I use any other ports other than 5060 for (SIP) and 5004 (RTP), it could resolve problem.

Anyone has any idea as to the TCP & UDP ports used by your software phone so that I can use them to try with port forwarding port triggering in my router.

[grandstreamHT]

Try to put your GrandStream HandyTone adapter 286 before the NetGear WG614 Router, you should be able to receive inbound call.

I have grandstream HT488, It has been configured as per vbuzzer recommendations. The wiered things about it is that sometime it get inbound calls and most of the time it goes to voice mail. I used the same internet connection with Stanaphone and it was working properly. My hardware phone is behind NAT we have a D-Link router before it. Do we need to change the time for registration expiry ? Any idea or suggestions...Thanks !

I configured according to your instruction but still can not use this BT 102 to make a call. Please help me with how to use this BT 102.

[dibsmft]

I think you need to forward the required ports to the HT286. If you try to call yourself with the softphone to the HT286 things will get confused as one or the other "phone" will have taken over the ports if they are the same. Go into the menu page of your router and forward the ports to the MAC address of the HT.

Dear admin,

Have you tried to configure HT488 with VBuzzer?

The configuration screen you provided is pretty much different with HT488 I have right now. I did my best to configure it as similar as possible to your configuration but the red light on button is still flashing (every 2 seconds).

And now the WAN port of the adaptor is flashing on yellow light, seems to be communicating with the Internet for a long time. I don't know what it's doing and how long it will take to get registered with the VBuzzer server.

The status screen shows this information to me:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAC Address: 00.0B.82.08.01.99
WAN IP Address: 192.168.0.6
Product Model: HT488
Software Version: Program-- 1.0.2.16 Bootloader-- 1.0.7.1 HTML-- 1.0.0.18 VOC-- 1.0.0.10
System Up Time: 0 day(s) 2 hour(s) 17 minute(s)
Registered: No
PPPoE Link Up: disabled
NAT: detected NAT type is open Internet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This information shows me that it failed to register to the VBuzzer server, and the software versions are not the latest ones.

Could you help me on the software upgrade and VBuzzer registration?

Your help and advice is appreciated!

Regards,

Queyon

As far as I can see this is not made by Grandstream. However, do you have a manual. Have you attempted to set it up? If so what happens/goes wrong? Vbuzzer is relatively easy to set up.
