Grandstream HandyTone 801 Single-Port Analog Telephone Adapter (HT801)

This is the best single line ATA you can get. It supports pulse dialing and it has a REN of 5 just like the POTS lines did. It works nice with VoIP.ms, which is the best provider in my opinion. This thing is a little difficult to set up, but if you follow a tutorial for the settings to change for your provider it wont be so hard. I have had no issues with this yet. Im glad i chose to upgrade from my cell2jqack to this. My experience with calls have been pretty good. The quality is only bad when the internet is bad. If you have any sort of T-Mobile internet, you will not get this to work unless you turn on TLS on this device and your providers settings. If you use VoIP.ms, they tell you how to change to TLS on their end and on the ATAs end.Conclusion: I’m glad i bought this ata.

I bought to replace the MagicJack that I was not happy with. This is the V2 unit not the V1. Someone said the password didn't work as admin. This is true for the V2 the password is printed on the label on the back of the unit. Set up was not the same as the sample shown on the voip.ms web site, but it will set up and works great once set up. Make sure you update the firmware to latest from Grandstream web site.I couldn't be happier with HT801 V2 and voip.ms combo. Saving over $20/month over Spectrum. Once set up the quality of calls and the features are really good.

Ideal solution for a single line of VOIP service using regular telephones for home or small business. Requires some knowledge to set up and secure, but then it just works like a regular land line.

Update: HT01 V2 does not send e911 location where as V1 did out of the box. As a result calls are answered by a National 911 Call Center rather than your local 911 center.Our pool inspector failed the emergency phone as a result. V2 firmware added new configuration options E911 and HELD. The most recent documentation explains their use by repeating the name of the field, which is less than helpful.Grandstream does allow me to submit a support ticket as an end user and I received a prompt response.Update: HT01 V2 may have a label on the bottom showing the factory default password. If admin is rejected look there. Deduct one star for the confusion of user guide versions from Grandstream.The most recent user manual documents this. Search for "documentation.grandstream.com/knowledge-base/ht81x-v2-user-guide/"Check whether you can log in before return period expires.Using a new Grandstream HandyTone 801 V2, Admin login fails with the factory default password: admin. Reset button and power cycle do not resolve the problem. Item is useless without being able to login to configure it.On a different Grandstream HandyTone 801 V1 the default password worked. Perhaps this issue is only on V2 models.Returned for replacement.

Good luck installing this device. it is NOT plug/play. I suspect I got a refurb/open box item because the packaging for the cables was already torn open and the instruction manual was missing.I found the manual online, but the instructions did NOT match the screens on the web app/portal so I could not figure out how to configure this. I assume a networking specialist would find this simple, but for anyone else, good luck.

I confirmed that the seller TeleDirect is selling HT801 V2 with the US style plug.I have tested both V1 and V2 with voip(.ms) and they both work fine, incoming and outgoing calls.Both V1 and V2 can be powered from a USB type A hub. For example, I'm using one of the USB type-A ports on my WiFi router to power the GrandStream device.Here are the differences I have noticed, but there are probably more.Differences:The major difference is the webportal is majorly updated. It looks more modern, it's faster, more organized, and provides a find setting feature.The only difference on the physical device I saw was one of the blue lights and writing over top of the ethernet port. V1 used an Earth-arrow icon. V2 replaced the Earth-arrow icon with the letters "NET".Password change: default username / passwordV1: admin / adminV2: admin / <written on sticker on bottom of ATA>Note: the firmware for V1 and V2 are different links:V1: Release_HT801_1.0.57.1.zipV2: Release_HT80xV2_1.0.3.5.zipRing Power:V1: Had a checkbox "High Ring Power"V2: has a ComboBox with multiple options: 45Vrms, 50Vrms, 55VrmsUpdating the firmware manually in V2 is much faster. The only thing is it gives an error "Reboot failed" but it succeeded.Data-sheet differences:Codecs:V2: added G.722Pass-through:V1: Short/Long Haul Ring Load 2 REN: Up to 1km on 24 AWGV2: Short/Long Haul Ring Load 5 REN: Up to 1km on 24 AWGNetwork-Protocols:V2: added SSH, SNMP, IMS/3GPP, IPoEQoS:V2: added Layer 2 (802.1Q VLAN, SIP/RTP 802.1p)Provisioning and Control & Management Syslog support:V2: removed telnet and added SSHCompliance:V2: added K.21

works great. I wanted to bring back an old landline and old wall mounted phone from the 90s into the house. It's also a great setup for kids in the house so they can call 911 if needed. Also they'll be able to call any adult if there's every an emergency. the default password was on the bottom of the device. It's not admin/admin. took a bit of googling to find this. Once I was in, I followed the voip.ms instructions and got my DID number running with e911. I wired it into my home's old landline and now all the rj11 ports in every room has a dial tone. $2.38 a month from voip.ms is worth it.
