Frequently asked questions

Does the GRP2601 support Power over Ethernet?

Not this model. The standard GRP2601 is powered by its included 5VDC adapter. If the desk has no spare socket, order the GRP2601P, which is the same phone with integrated 802.3af PoE.

Can I plug my computer into the phone?

Yes. The GRP2601 has two switched 10/100 Ethernet ports, so the phone takes the wall drop and the PC connects through the second port. Bear in mind this caps that desk at 100 Mbps.

How many people can join a conference on the handset?

The GRP2601 supports 5-way audio conferencing, so you can add several parties without involving the PBX conference bridge.

Will it work with my existing headsets?

The RJ9 jack supports electronic hook switch operation with Plantronics, Jabra and Sennheiser models, so you can answer and end calls from the headset itself.

Is it suitable for a large rollout?

Yes. GDMS and TR-069 provisioning with encrypted XML configuration files make the GRP2601 straightforward to deploy in volume, which is why it is popular with hosted voice providers.
