Grandstream GXP1615 Basic IP Phone, 2 Lines, PoE and Power Adapter

Overview

The Grandstream GXP1615 is a basic two-line desk phone from the GXP16xx range for reception counters, back offices, shop floors and branch desks with light call volumes. It has a 2.95 inch display, a full keypad with dedicated function keys and two network ports, so a PC can share the phone’s network cable. It accepts Power over Ethernet (PoE) and also comes with a power adapter, so it works on desks with or without a PoE switch.

Is it right for you?

• Suits staff with light call volumes who need a simple extension rather than a feature-rich phone: reception counters, back offices, shop floors and branch desks.
• Choose it when some desks have PoE switch ports and others do not, or when you want the adapter as a fallback. The GXP1610P is the same phone with PoE and no adapter; the GXP1610 has no PoE and uses the adapter.
• If you want a backlit display and shared line features, the GXP1625 is the next model in the range.
• It needs a SIP phone system (IP PBX) or hosted VoIP service to register to.

Key features

• 2 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) accounts with 2 line keys and dual-colour LEDs.
• 132 x 48 pixel (2.95 inch) LCD and 3 XML programmable soft keys.
• Dual switched 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports with integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE, 802.3af Class 2), so one cable serves the phone and the PC beside it.
• 3-way audio conferencing, call park and pickup, and a phonebook of up to 1,000 contacts.
• Full-duplex speakerphone and handset with HD (high-definition) wideband audio.
• RJ9 headset jack with electronic hook switch (EHS) support for Plantronics headsets, so calls can be answered from the headset.
• TLS and SRTP encryption for calls and accounts.
• Codecs G.711µ/a, G.722, G.723, G.726-32, G.729A/B and iLBC.

What else you need

• A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) call server to register to: a Grandstream UCM (Unified Communications Manager) IP PBX, which can also set the phone up with zero configuration, or a hosted internet calling (VoIP) service.
• A network cable to the desk.
• Power from an 802.3af PoE switch port or injector, or from the universal power adapter in the box (100 to 240 V AC input, 5 V DC 600 mA output) and a mains socket.

Installation

The stand offers two viewing angles, and the phone is wall mountable. Run one network cable to the phone and patch the PC into its second port. Make sure the switch port supplies 802.3af PoE. A telephony installer or IT team registers it to the call server, or a Grandstream UCM can provision it automatically.

Software and licences

Works with standard SIP platforms and Grandstream UCM IP PBXs. Provisioning options include TR-069, AES-encrypted XML files and the Grandstream Device Management System (GDMS), so a batch of phones can be configured without touching each one.
