Was the Grandstream HT801 ATA fairly easy to setup? For a future VOiP service that I'm considering the HT801 was recommended by the provider. On that provider's web site there is a setup guide that seemed straight forward, however did you encounter any potential problems with connectivity and/or security that one has to be aware of?

Edit: just to add, I would be using a dect phone with the base connected to the ATA then a connection over ethernet directly to the router.

My recollection is that they were very easy to configure and worked well - No issues with echoes, which used to be a real problem with the first ATA I used some years back (Sipura SPA3000)

I'm sure you'll have found the manual, but page 27 pretty much shows the fields you need to fill in

I didn't have any security issues or concerns.

Thanks for the info and your reassurances - it's much appreciated

Did you use a single HT801 and connect its phone port to the two Big Button Phones, or use an HT801 for each phone?

Cheers!

Two separate HT801s, both registered to the same SIP endpoint.

Thanks for that.

I assume that when being called, both phones ring and either can be answered. What happens whilst that call is in place should the other phone be picked UP? Am I correct in thinking that for this VoIP you are using A&A?

Thanks!

Both phones ring on incoming calls and either handset can answer. Unlike wired POTS phones however, as the handsets are not in parallel the call cannot be joined by picking up handset #2. This phone can be used for making or answering a second call though.
