Grandstream GRP2612P PoE Colour Screen IP Phone, 4 Lines, 4 SIP

Overview

A Power over Ethernet (PoE) office roll-out where staff need several lines per desk and IT wants a single cable to each one. The Grandstream GRP2612P is the PoE version of the GRP2612 four-line phone: four Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) accounts, a 2.4 inch colour screen with up to 16 virtual busy lamp field (BLF) keys, a dedicated Hold key and high-definition (HD) audio, powered from an IEEE 802.3af switch port. No adapter is supplied.

Is it right for you?

• Suits PoE office roll-outs where staff need several lines per desk.
• Suits buildings that back up the network rack with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), so phones keep working in a power cut.
• Choose the GRP2612 instead if your switch has no PoE: it comes with a power adapter, this model does not.
• Choose the GRP2612G if the desk PC needs a Gigabit link through the phone.

Key features

• 4 lines and 4 SIP accounts, so one desk can answer four numbers or hold four calls.
• 2.4 inch colour screen (320 x 240) whose 4 line keys page through up to 16 virtual BLF keys, with a dedicated Hold key, so you can watch colleagues’ lines and park calls quickly.
• Two switched 10/100 Mbps network ports, so a computer can share the desk’s network cable through the phone, with built-in PoE (IEEE 802.3af) so the phone can draw power from a PoE switch.
• HD wideband audio on the handset and speakerphone, and 5-way audio conferencing with Opus and G.722 codecs, so calls sound clear and a small group can join one call.
• Swappable faceplate, so you can add your company logo.
• XML screen customisation, a 1,000-entry phonebook and a 1,000-record call log.
• Zero-touch cloud provisioning through Grandstream Device Management System (GDMS), with secure boot and encrypted data storage.

What else you need

• A SIP account for each line, from a phone system (IP PBX) in your building or in the cloud, or from a hosted voice over IP (VoIP) provider. The phone registers to any of them over standard SIP.
• An IEEE 802.3af PoE switch port or PoE injector. No power adapter is supplied, so if your switch has no PoE, order a 5 V DC, 0.6 A adapter separately.
• A network cable to the desk: this model has no Wi-Fi.
• Only if you want the phone on a wall, the GRP_WM_S wall mount bracket, sold separately.
• Only if you want a wired headset, one with an RJ9 plug; electronic hook switch (EHS) control works with Plantronics headsets.

Installation

A desk phone is a plug-in job that an office IT person or phone installer can do: fit the handset cord, connect the network cable and a PoE switch port or injector, then enter the SIP account details in the phone’s web interface. For a roll-out of many phones, an installer can push the settings through GDMS or TR-069 instead.

The supplied desk stand gives two desk angles.

For wall use, fit the GRP_WM_S bracket. Screws and wall anchors are not included with the bracket, so match them to your wall. Reverse the hookswitch tab under the handset rest so the handset stays put when the phone is upright.

Software and licences

GDMS cloud provisioning and TR-069 let an installer or IT team configure, monitor and update phones centrally, and the web interface covers a single phone. Grandstream’s Click2Dial browser extension places calls from a computer.
