Installation
- Locate customer’s Networking Equipment. This will most commonly be a cable modem, but could be another internet source and may include routers and/or switches
- Locate New Granite Phones
- Locate and confirm open port for install. If there is no open port on the modem, please contact Granite for assistance
- Connect base station to open port on using an Ethernet patch cable. Verify that device is plugged into a PoE enabled port OR that separate power supply is plugged into outlet
- Connect phone bases to available power outlets at phone locations
- Phones should power on, please allow a full 10 minutes for device to come online an update firmware. During this time period the phone will connect to Granite and allow for the phone to pull its configuration from the cloud.
- Once phone is connected, please test outbound calling to ensure connectivity Please note that at this time, inbound calling will not work if port orders have not yet completed.
Complete connections should follow the below network connection guideline.
Troubleshooting
Check base unit for light status and possible error. (See Table Below)
If base light is green but phone does not connect, it likely needs to be paired to the base station.
To Pair a Phone with the Base:
- On the right side of the base press button that has a “Wi-Fi” symbol down for 3 seconds
- You should see the base begin to flash red.
- On the handset press and hold down the OK button. This will be located directly below the display on the very right hand button.
- Once you have hold down the OK button for the appropriate time it will register.
If base light is red, the base station is not registered to Granite.
To Register a Phone
*Please allow 10 minutes when base is first connected to attempt to reach Granite’s network*
- Attempt to reboot base station to see if error clears. To Reboot disconnect Ethernet cord from back of base station, reconnect, and power back on
- If error does not clear after reboot, please call 888-624-5295. Granite’s ZTP Team will check to ensure devices are provisioned correctly on our side and assist with further troubleshooting
In the event that you are instructed to factory reset the device, this can be done by holding the power button on the side of the base station for 30 seconds.
Best Practices
When reporting an issue with call please include the following information:
- Originating number
- Terminating number
- Time/Date
- Trouble experienced
Always place the base in the best possible location onsite, things to avoid:
- Placing base station far away from phones.
- Cordless phones will need to be within 300 feet of the base.
- The 300 total feet is direct path so any obstructions will limit that distance.
