How to set up a Grandstream for Castel use

Login to the Grandstream VOIP telephone the IP address can be found using the display

Consult the Grandstream Guide which is supplied by Grandstream depending on the Model you will either need to create a password on the first login or it will be on a sticker on the device itself.

On older units the password was default as USER=admin PASSWORD=admin

Open account 1 and make the following changes:

  • Disable all accounts which are not in use
  • Make Account Active
  • Add Account Name Castel
  • Add Server Address this can be an IP Address of one of the Panels if no server connected to network(add Server Address if used)
  • Add User ID=SIP Address of Unit
  • Add Authentication ID=Password if requires Registration
  • Voice Mail ID if required *26
  • Change Tel URL to User=Phone
  • Click on Save
  • Confirm Changes at top of Screen

Now set the IP address.This should be static if the Grandstream is intended for peer to peer, if registered to a server then a DHCP address can be use.

The Castel Door Entry Panel will negotiate Video and Audio CODEC's, however, these should be checked, if there is an issue please select a different CODEC

Door Release is set for DTMF1, if this is not working please check that the all the options for DTMF are selected and test again.

Your screen may look different to this example, this is because there are many models in the Grandstream Range. However, there will be this option on a screen as shown below:
