How to setup your Grandstream HT801 or HT802 ATA for nbn home phone

step 1 - connect your ATA to your router/modem

The Grandstream HT801 is a one-port analog telephone adapter (ATA), while the HT802 is a 2-port analog telephone adapter (ATA).

The ATA device needs to be connected to your router/modem to work.

Plug the micro USB end of the supplied power adapter into the power port on the back of the ATA.

Plug the other end of the supplied power adapter into a power outlet and switch the power outlet on.

Plug one end of the supplied Ethernet cable into the BLUE internet port on the back of the ATA. Plug the other end of the supplied Ethernet cable into a LAN port on the back of your modem/router. These are usually yellow ports labelled 1 – 4.

Plug your telephone handset into the GREEN phone port on the back of the ATA. If your ATA device has two green phone ports, plug the phone into the port labelled number 1.

If the Power light (power indicator) is not solid blue, check that your ATA is plugged in correctly to a power outlet and that the power outlet is switched on.

If the Internet light (globe/planet indicator) is not solid blue, check that your ATA is plugged in correctly to your modem/router’s LAN port and that your modem/router is switched on.

If the Phone light (phone indicator) is not solid blue, the settings in step 3 may have not been entered correctly. Double-check the settings you have entered.
