Message Waiting Indication (MWI)
Using the standard profile this feature should be enabled by default. The Grandstream Budgetone uses the backlit display as the message waiting indicator. If a message is waiting the whole display flashes blue. To pick up a message press the _Message_ key on the dial pad or dial the voicemail extension (default: 101).
Message Waiting Indication can be configured on the Grandstream Budgetone management screen in ConfigServer under _Misc Settings_.
Synchroniation with a Time Server
This feature is enabled by default using the standard profile. The default NTP server used is _pool.ntp.org_. Make sure you configure the correct time zone under _Time Settings_.
Voice Codec Settings
The default profile defines the following priority list for codec selection:
...
. Default admin password is _admin_.
Manually Configure the Grandstream phone to register with sipXecs
...
By default, PCMU(G.711u) will be used. Both PCMU and PCMA will give you toll quality voice, but their bandwidth consumption is also the highest (64kbps). With G.722 you get wideband audio at the same bitrate. If your network bandwidth is low, you can choose lower bitrate codecs such as G.723 or G.729, which will give you near toll quality at much smaller bandwidth consumption (G.723 consumes 5.3/6.3kbps and G.729 consumes 8kbps).
A good choice is: G.722, PCMU, PCMA, iLBC, G.723, G.729. This will chose the wideband codec G.722 if available by the called party's phone.
...
Grandstream suggests 30ms packet rate for G.723, 10ms for G.728 and 20ms for the rest of the codecs. _Voice_Frames_Per_TX_ is then set to 1 for G.723, 4 for G.728 and 2 for the rest.
...
The extension of the output file has to be _.ring_. Then rename the file _output.ring_ to _ring1.bin_ and the file is ready for download. Place the file in the TFTP server folder containing the firmware. The Budgetone phones will load the ring tones during the next reboot.
...
The TFTP server can be configured via the phone's Web configuration interface. On the configuration screen _Advanced Settings_ enter the TFTP server IP address in the designated field towards the bottom of the configuration screen. Apply changes by selecting _update_. Once the TFTP server is configured and the image is located in the TFTP server's root directory, reboot the phone.
...
Check successful upgrade by going to the phone's Web interface _Status_ screen.
