• When prompted, enter the username and password. The default username is admin. For the password:
  • For HT801 V1 units, the default password is admin.

Within the web interface, navigate to the FXS Port or Account settings to configure your SIP account details provided by your VoIP service provider. This typically includes:

• SIP Server (e.g., sip.yourprovider.com)
• SIP User ID
• Authenticate ID
• Authenticate Password

Ensure all settings match your provider's specifications for successful registration.
