We know how much you love options, and Dialpad is proud to support Grandstream desk phones.

Let’s go over how to provision Grandstream desk phones.

Note

Your Grandstream desk phone must be on the list of Supported Desk Phones.

Access deskphone admin password

Company admins can access their organization’s deskphone password directly from the Company Settings. This admin password applies to all deskphones activated with Dialpad.

1. Select My Company

Then, log in to the deskphone's web interface using "admin" as your username and your assigned deskphone admin password.

The deskphone admin password cannot be changed.
