If the displayed image is not centered, you can adjust the camera angle by using the wheel at the back of the camera. To stop the video diagnostic process, you can press the loopback button again. Additionally, you can start the video diagnostic process by selecting [MENU]→[Settings]→[Maintenance] →[Factory Functions], and pressing Start. Press any other button to stop the video diagnostic.
Note: When the camera lens is at the top, the camera will be disabled and there will be no video.
When the headset is connected to the phone there is a small headset icon displayed on the upper left-hand corner of the LCD screen. When the headset is being used for audio out, the icon will become green . The headset output for calls, media player and internet radio is independent and uses different channels. You will need to manually switch to the headset in each application. For example, when there is an incoming call when you are listening to the Internet radio using the headset, the ringtone will be played using the speaker. When the call is answered off-hook, the audio will use the speaker channel. You can switch to the headset after establishing the call, if the headset is disconnected, the call will end.
Both the handset and speakerphone support audio output. Most 3rd party headsets can be paired with the phone as well.
This situation could occur if you have the Do-Not-Disturb (DND) or Call forward unconditionally setup on the GXV3140.
Please follow the steps below to check if these features are enabled:
(1) Check if the phone has DND enabled: On the LCD screen, check if the DND icon appears.
(2) Check if the phone has Call forward enabled: On the LCD screen, check if the Call Forward icon appears. If account one has Call forward enabled, an icon will appear.
Most likely the Internet radio cannot connect to some stations because the URL may be invalid or broken. This could also be caused by a network issue. Perhaps the network bandwidth is too small, causing a timeout in the radio application. Additionally, some network providers prohibit radio stations. Please check with your network administrator on this issue.
If the picture file is corrupted or if it is not saved correctly, the GXV3140 is not able to view the picture.
This may occur as a result of another application using the sound resource on the GXV3140. If you are listening to online music or internet radio and a call comes in, the music will be stopped and the phone will ring. After the call ends, the music will resume. If you are listening to the Internet Radio, you cannot play media files.
When using the GXV3140 to leave a message, by default the message will contain both video and audio. If you wish to leave a voicemail message, please follow the steps below:
(1)Press the “Camera Off” softkey in the call screen during the call.
(2)Slide the wheel for the camera at the back of the phone, until you see the white icon for “Camera Disabled”.
All the voice/video mail messages are saved on the IPVideoTalk server. It does not matter if the phone is registered to the server or not, the other party will be able to leave a message for you on the IPVideoTalk server. After the phone registers successfully, you will receive the notification that there is a new message waiting and no messages will be lost.
When this situation occurs, please check if the handset is securely connected. If it is not, please reconnect it.
It could also be caused by the following:
(1)The other party may have pressed the “Mute” softkey and placed the call on mute. Please tell the other party to check if the Mute icon appears on the screen. If so, press the ‘Unmute” softkey to cancel the mute function. (2)If your phone is connected to the Internet through a router, this can be caused by the NAT traversal issue. Please refer to the NAT Traversal FAQs for more details.
Every key on the GXV3140 has its corresponding function. Please see the figure below:

The GXV3140 supports all the main audio formats: PM3, WMA, AVI, FLAC, OGG. . It also supports most of the video formats: RMVB, RM, MP4, MPG, 3GP. The GXV3140 can play audio and video files from an external peripheral, such as a SD card or USB flash drive.
If you press the wrong button when dialing out, you can easily correct this by using the “Backspace” softkey on the GXV3140 call window. Press the “Backspace” button as many times as needed to delete the wrong digits and continue. This takes away the need to hang up and start dialing again.
The GXV3140 supports 3.5mm headsets and supports most 3.5mm headset outputs. It is recommended to use headsets that are tested to be interoperable by Grandstream, for example the iphone headset.
The users registered to the IPvideoTalk server will have a voice mailbox and a video mailbox. When the user is busy, rejects the call or when the user is not available to pick up the call, the system would forward the caller to the mail box. The user can retrieve the messages any time by connecting to the mail box. They will not miss any important messages this way.
Call Forwarding allows the user to configure a number to forward to when the incoming call comes in and the user is unable to answer the call. There are three types of call forwarding to suit individual needs;
(1) Forward unconditionally: All the calls will be forwarded to the configured number. The phone will not ring and notify the user that there is an incoming call.
(2) Forward on busy: If the user is in a call, the incoming call will be transferred to the configured number. If the user is not in a call, the new incoming call will ring on the phone.
(3) Forward on no answer: If an incoming call comes in and it is not answered within a time frame (by default, it is set to 20 seconds), the call will be forwarded to the configured number.
Please select the call forwarding type according to your needs so that the calls will be answered appropriately.
Sometimes the users would like to put the call on hold and resume the call later without disconnecting the call. This can be achieved by pressing the * button to put the call on hold. When this button is pressed, the call will be placed on hold and both parties are not able to see or hear each other. The user can resume the call by pressing the “Resume” softkey to return to the call.
When call waiting is enabled, the new incoming call will be placed on hold when the user is already engaged in a call. The notification for the new incoming call will be displayed on the LCD screen, and the user can hear a weak beeping sound notifying the user that there is a new incoming call.
Call waiting feature is enabled by default, the user can also modify this by selecting [Menu]—[Call Features]—[Other Features] and enabling/disabling Call Waiting. If you choose to disable it, other users will not be able to call in when the line is busy.
If you prefer not to have the beeping notification tone for call waiting, you can disable the tone through [Menu]—[Call Features]—[Other Features]-[Call waiting tone]. After the call waiting tone is disabled, only the notification for new incoming call will be displayed on the LCD.
The Do-Not-Disturb feature can be used when the user is busy to refuse an incoming call. When this feature is enabled, the IPVideoTalk server will automatically transfer to call to your voicemail box, so that the remote party can leave a message if needed.
The DND feature is only specific to your phone; you are still able to make any outgoing calls to other users.
The instant messenger is a tool that lets you chat with other people online; these include Google Talk, MSN, QQ and Yahoo. When the instant messenger application is launched, the little icon is displayed on the upper right-hand corner of the LCD screen. If the icon is blue, it means you are logged in. If the icon is gray, it means that you are logged out. When the icon is flickering between orange and blue, it means that you have received a new instant message.
In the Internet radio, you can press the left navigation button to return to the previous menu. Press the right navigation button to access the submenu and press the up and down navigation button to select different radio. Press the MENU button to submit and connect to the radio. You can also minimize the radio application by selecting [Options]→[Minimize].
The default login name for the administrator is “admin”, the default administrator password is also set to ”admin.” If you have changed the login password, you must use it to login to the web interface. In this case, if you forget the password, you can factory reset the unit to restore the default user login settings.
The default login name for end-users is “user”, the default user password is set to ”123”. When you log in as an end-user, you are only able to view the Status, Advanced and Maintenance page. The end-user will not be able to modify the Account page.
The short message is an instant SIP message, the contents are sent via text format. If you do not receive the message, it will not be saved by the server or forwarded again.
A voice message consists of RTP packets and can be saved on the server. When the caller cannot reach the callee, a connection is established with the server and the voice message is recorded. The server will then notify the callee that there is a voice message waiting and a connection will be established to retrieve the message.
A valid account is needed to use the Online Music application. You can register for the account on the LastFm Website (http://www.lastFm.com) first. Select [Options]→[Settings] in the Online Music application and enter the account name and password to log into the account. After this is done, you may choose the preferred music genre for the music. You do not need an account for the Internet Radio application; it is exactly like a normal radio where users may listen to the music once they are connected.
Auto Answer allows the automatic answer of the calls, and the user does not need to pick up the phone manually. Auto Answer can be configured by selecting [Menu]—[Call Feautres]—[Other Features]. Under Auto answer, there are three options: “Enable”, “Paging/Intercom” and “Disable”. The phone is able to answer calls automatically when “Enable” and “Paging/Intercom” is selected. With the call feature enabled, the auto answer icon will appear on the LCD screen. With “Enable” selected, all incoming calls will be answered automatically. However, with “Paging/Intercom”, only those calls dialed out using “Paging” mode will be answered automatically. The calls made using the “Dialing” mode will not be answered automatically and the phone will ring.
This application allows you to upload your photos to digital photo albums on a server. The GXV3140 supports three types of online Photo Albums: Photobucket, Flickr and Phanfare. To use these services, you would need an account. If you do not have an account, please register at the corresponding website and use it to login. After logging in, you are able to upload photos and delete photos.
You are also able to use the online Photo album with a PC. Note: the photos stored on the online album can be viewed by other users on the Internet.
The idle screen on the LCD screen is designed to provide users with account information, time, weather, news and stock market updates. There are 6 modules that make up the 3 screens. Press the [Switch Screen] button to rotate between the different screens. These modules can be customized to meet your needs.
The web browser application on the GXV3140 is a small built-in web browser that allows you to browse the Internet without a PC. You can also connect an external USB keyboard and mouse for easier operation of the GXV3140. When the web browser application is open, this icon will appear on the upper left-hand corner of the phone.
When there is an incoming call when you are browsing web pages, the web browser will be minimized and the incoming call notice will display on the screen. After the call, you can return to the previous web page that you are browsing. Note: It may take a long time to load a web page containing many links.
The Capture packet application captures traces files from the phone. You can use these files to monitor and diagnose the phone.
By default, the Capture packet application is not disabled and can be enabled when needed. Log in to the web interface and select [Maintenance] →[Debug], press the “Start” button next to “Capture Trace.” To stop the trace, press the “Stop” button. The captured packets will be stored automatically in the phone’s memory. You can download the trace to your PC by clicking on the “List” button next to “View trace”, and clicking on the captured trace.
The GXV3140 supports almost all the main picture format types: jpg, gif and png. If the picture is too big, it will be resized proportionally. You can see the proportion on the upper right-hand corner of the LCD screen.
Normally, this situation would occur when your phone is connected to the Internet through a router. The phone and the other peripherals on the local network shares the same public IP address, therefore the packets may not be routed to the correct device. Generally speaking, the GXV3140 solves this problem by integrating this with the IPVideoTalk server for automatic NAT detection and NAT traversal. However, if this problem still occurs, please check the following:
(1) Log into the web configuration interface of the GXV3140. Under [Advanced Settings], configure the “STUN Server” to a fully functional STUN server. The default STUN server used is “stun.ipvideotalk.com”.
(2) Select the corresponding [Account] page and under [Network settings], configure the [NAT Traversal] to AUTO. Save and reboot the phone for changes to take place.
(3) If the “AUTO” NAT detection does not work, please change the [NAT Traversal] to STUN. Save and reboot the phone for changes to take place.
The above settings are applicable to other servers other than IPVideoTalk. However, if the detected NAT type is symmetrical Nat, please enable the UPNP function on the router.
The IPvideoTalk server will forward the caller to the voicemail box of the callee when the callee is in the following states:
(1)No answer. When the ring times out, the call will be forwarded to the voicemail.
(2)The callee is busy and rejects the call.
(3)The callee enables the DND (Do-Not-Disturb) feature on the phone.
(4)The other party is not registered on the IPVideTalk server.
The voicemail system prompt will ask you to leave a message after the beep tone.
After you hear the voicemail system prompt asking you to leave the message after the beep tone, you are able to leave the message for the other user. The message will be saved on the server and the user can retrieve it at a later time. The GXV3140 is also able to record the video with the audio, making it a video voice message.

The short message is a method to transmit text messages between SIP clients registered to the same server. This requires both the server and the client to support the short message feature. Users can send messages to other users on the same server, similar to text messaging between mobile phones. When a new message is received, the LCD will notify the user and a small notification icon will appear on the screen.
Currently, the GXV3140 supports the English alphabet (lowercase and uppercase), numerical numbers and some common punctuation. You can use the Tab button to toggle between the different input methods.
First, please check if the phone is able to connect to the IPVideoTalk server correctly. You are able to verify this by dialing”0” on the phone. If you are not able to connect to the IPVideoTalk server, please check the network connection. If the network is fully functional, this problem could arise from the changing of the * button voicemail code. Please recover the setting by the following steps:
(1)Log in to the GXV3140 web configuration browser.
(2)Click on the “Account” page and set the “Voicemail UserID” to *26. (For IPVideoTalk).
(3)Save and reboot the phone.
If you are using the handset, please ensure that the handset hangs up properly. In the LCD screen, the icon for the handset should not be green . Also, if you have call on hold, please hang up after retrieving the call. This ensures that the system acknowledges this and does not keep the connection of the call on hold.
Check if the account is active by selecting [MENU] →[Office Tools]→[IM]→[Options] →[Accounts]. You should also make sure that the user name and password are correct. Make sure that the network connection is functional and that you are connected to the Internet.
When using the Direct IP call, there could be situations where you cannot reach the other party or when you hear a busy tone. This could be caused by both the caller and callee configuration setting and the default setting should be modified.
Caller configuration: The first account and line is used when calling out using Direct IP call. In the first account and by default, the NAT detection is enabled on the first account. This setting would influence the Direct IP call; therefore, it is necessary to disable this feature before you can use the Direct IP call.
Callee configuration: By default, the destination port used for Direct IP calling is 5060. However, the default SIP port setting on the GXV3140 is to enable “Use Random port”. Therefore, we must set “Use Random Port” to “No” in the web configuration interface and use the default port 5060.
Make sure that you are using the right account as each account has its own dial plan. You are violating the rules of the dial plan if the message “The number you dialed doesn’t match dial plan” is displayed on the LCD.
By default, the IPVideoTalk account has the following dial plan:
(1) Number 0;
(2) Any seven digit number with prefix of “8”, for example ”8100135”;
(3) Any eight digit number with prefix of “98”, for example ”98123456”;
(4) Any two digit number with prefix of “*”, for example ”*26”;
The GXV3140 loads multiple applications at boot up. These applications include the RSS News, Stock, Weather Update, and System Time Apps. These applications provide valuable information for a better user experience. For a normal end-user under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to restart the device once the device has booted up.
You should make sure that the phone is connected to the network and the phone is able to obtain an IP address. Secondly, check if the account is set to active by setting the “Account is Active” configuration in the Account page of the web interface to “Yes”. Additionally, check if the login information and the SIP sever is correct. If the SIP server is wrong, the phone cannot contact the SIP sever for registration. If the login information is wrong, the SIP server will reject the registration request of the phone.
If all of these are correct, there may be a problem with NAT traversal. If the GXV3140 is on a LAN and needs to register to a SIP server on a public IP, NAT traversal must be enabled. If the NAT type is unknown, it is recommended to select “Auto”.
There are many factors that could cause the upgrade process to fail. Make sure that the firmware server path and upgrade method are correct. You should also make sure that the server is switched on. Log into the web interface, and under [Maintenance] → [Automatic Upgrade Rule], select [Always check upgrade at bootup]. Also, set [DHCP Option 66 override server] to “No”, because this option may cause the upgrade server path to be redirected to another location.
The GXV3140 has three ways to obtain an IP address- DHCP, PPPoE and static IP. Before you configure the phone, please make sure that the network is fully functional.
You are able to configure the network setting through the phone’s LCD screen or through the web interface. If you are connected to the Internet through a router or a switch, please choose DHCP. If you need an account and password to connect to the Internet, you can choose PPPoE. If you use a static IP provided by your ISP, please choose the static IP option.
To configure the IP address through the LCD, select [MENU]→[Setting]→[Network]→[Connection] and select one of the three methods to obtain an IP address. If you choose DHCP, please press F3 to save and reboot the phone; the phone will obtain an IP address from the DHCP server automatically. If PPPoE is chosen, you will need a PPPoE account and password; please contact your network administrator if you do not know this. Type in the required account name and password, press F3 to save and reboot the phone. If static IP is chosen, please enter the IP address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway and DNS Server (optional) correctly; press F3 to save and then reboot the phone.
Figure: Network Settings Configuration Page
Follow these steps to configure the network settings through the web interface:
Type the phone’s IP address in the web browser and log into the web configuration interface. Select [Maintenance] →[Network Settings]. Configure the network settings in the same manner as the LCD screen.
You need to configure the phone to output the audio to the headset channel. This is done by selecting [Options]→[Output→[Headset] in the Internet Radio application.
When the phone is idle for a period of time, the GXV3140 turns off the LCD screen by default. If the screensaver is configured, the screensaver will activate before the LCD is powered off. Powering off the LCD enables standby mode on the phone and saves power.
You can also configure the idle time needed to the LCD to power off by select [MENU]→[Personalize]→[Screen Saver] →[LCD Auto Power Off Time]. The default value is 15 minutes, the user can select a value from 0~1440 and save. If the configured LCD auto power off time is 0, the LCD will not power off.
Out of the three parties that participate in the three-way conference, the conference establisher is the one that brings the remaining two parties together. If the conference establisher hangs up, the conference will no longer remain and the other two parties will not be able to continue the conversation.
If one of the other two parties hangs up, it will not influence the call between the call establisher and the remaining party. This would just mean a reverting back from a three-way conference to a normal call.
This is because GXV3140 is a SIP client, the messages sent follow the SIP protocol and these messages cannot be sent over the PSTN line.
The display may appear to be jammed up while browsing the web. This could be caused by incorrect formatting on the web page. Additionally, resizing the page may also cause this, because some webpages use formatting and languages that do not support resizing. Therefore, it is recommended to view the webpage in the original size.
The displayed time is dependent on the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server and the time zone. The NTP server field determines the time that will be displayed, by default it will display the time of the IPVideoTalk server. The time zone determines the time to be displayed and the phone can select the corresponding time zone based on your location. These can be configured in [MENU]→[Settings]→[time].
If both the NTP server and the time zone settings are correct but the time display is still incorrect, please reset the phone to the factory default settings.
This may be because the volume is adjusted to the lowest level. You can adjust the speaker volume level by using the up and down keys.
Note: There are three types of volume levels.
1. The ring volume when the phone is idle.
2. The speaker volume when the speaker is used to make/receive calls.
3. The handset volume when the handset is used to make/receive calls.
Idle: Volume is set to level7
Speaker: Volume is set to level 8
Handset:Volume is set to level 9
Sometimes users would encounter this situation: after dialing the LCD displays shows that the call is connecting but you cannot hear the ring back tone. This can be caused by several factors:
(1) The network that the phone is in is not functional, and cannot send out the request to the server correctly. Please check the network settings in this case. For example, check if the network cable is securely connected and if there is a problem with the router.
(2) The callee is not connected to the network. If you are using the IPVideoTalk server, please do not hang up. The server will transfer the call to the voice/video mail box and you can leave a message for the callee. When the callee connects back to the server, a notification will be sent out to the callee to retrieve the message.
(3) The server registered is not functional and ignores all the requests by the phone. Please contact the service provider for more assistance in this case.
Make sure that the phone has audio using the speakerphone. If there is no problem with the speaker, there could be a problem with the handset. Please check that the handset is connected to the Handset port on the back of the phone. Additionally, please check the volume level for the handset. You can press the up and down buttons on the phone to adjust the volume level.
First, please check if the video is disabled during the call on both parties. Secondly, please check the angle of the camera on the phone. If the camera lens is adjusted to the highest angle, the video will be disabled. Lastly, video calls may be disabled in the web interface. Log into the web configuration interface and check the configuration for [Account] →[Codec Settings]→[Enable Video]. If this is set to “Yes”, video is enabled when making calls. If it is set to “No”, video is disabled during calls.
