Setup Requirements
To connect your Grandstream ATA adapter to Helix Telecom, you will need the following items:
- A standard analog RJ11 phone
- A telephone cable (normally supplied with your phone)
- An electrical power outlet
- A network Ethernet port
- Properly configured, commercial high speed internet connection
Getting Started
Please follow the instructions below to get started.
- Plug one end of the included, blue CAT5 cable into the LAN port on the ATA adapter. Plug the other end into the wall jack, switch or router designed to provide internet access to your ATA adapter. You may substitute the included blue CAT5 cable with any suitable CAT5 or CAT6 cable of your choice. It is important to provide internet access to the adapter before connecting power. Reversing this process will prevent the adapter from provisioning and will delay your installation.

- Connect the standard telephone cable from the analog phone to the PHONE port found on the ATA device.
- Wait approximately 5 minutes. The ATA adapter will download software updates and reboot automatically when finished.
