In order to configure your devices for your new telephony solution, specific information is needed. At the time you place your order, please provide a MAC address for each Grandstream DP750 device.

Installing Grandstream DP750/DP720 DECT Devices
Capture the base station’s IP Address
A DP720 handset will first need to be paired to the DP750 base station if one is not already paired. The easiest way is the following:
- Reboot the DP750 base station.
- When the base station finishes booting, it goes into subscription mode. The wireless icon (on the far right of the LED panel) will begin blinking.
- On a DP720 handset, using the display and navigation keys, select Menu, then Settings. Next, select Registration, then Register. Choose the base to register to, typically Base 1 and choose Subscribe.
- Wait while the handset attempts to pair to the base station. Make sure the wireless LED on the base station is still blinking during this process.
- The handset should then complete pairing.
- On a paired handset, choose Menu, then Settings and scroll to Status.
- Scroll down to the IP address setting and write down this IP address.
Reset Base Station to factory default
- Using a computer on the same local network, use a web browser to navigate to that IP address.
- On the login screen, enter the existing username and password for the base station.
- If this information is not available, please contact your solution administrator. If the password is lost or not recoverable, call the support number for assistance.
- To restore to factory defaults, click the Maintenance menu, then choose Factory Reset. Choose Full Factory Reset and then click Reset. The base station will reboot.
Configure the Grandstream base station.
- Navigate again in the web browser to the base station’s IP address.
- On the login screen, enter the default username and password, usually admin and admin respectively.

- Click Save and Apply at the bottom of the screen.
- Then choose Reboot in the upper right of the screen.
Register and Activate handsets
