Grandstream HT814 Four-port FXS analog telephone adapter

Overview

The Grandstream HT814 Four-port FXS analog telephone adapter is a value-priced pbx & ucm from Grandstream, available at Centrix Kuwait with full manufacturer warranty. The HT814 puts four analog devices onto an IP phone system from a single box — a small office keeping its existing handsets, a building with lift and door phones, or a practice holding on to a fax line while everything else moves to VoIP. Check the direction before ordering, because this is where most orders of this kind go wrong. **An FXS port supplies dial tone to an analog phone.** If what you need is to bring incoming analog lines from the operator into a VoIP system, that is an FXO device and a different product. FXS supplies; FXO receives. One detail worth reading carefully: the four FXS ports share **two SIP profiles**. A profile is the server configuration the ports register through, so four phones can all be in service, but they are grouped across two accounts rather than four wholly separate ones. For most small offices on a single PBX that is irrelevant; if you need four genuinely independent providers, it is not the right unit. The two Ethernet ports are Gigabit and it has a NAT router built in, which is what separates it from the smaller HT801 and HT802. The router itself forwards at roughly 100 Mbps, though, so treat it as a convenience for a handful of devices behind the adapter rather than as your building's router. On a line faster than 100 Mbps, put a proper router in front of it and use the HT814 purely as an analog gateway. T.38 relay with G.711 fallback covers fax, TLS and SRTP encrypt calls and registrations, and TR-069 handles provisioning across a fleet. In stock in Kuwait. Priced at 60 KWD, supplied from local Kuwait stock with same-week delivery and bilingual technical support.
