Planning on setting up a couple IP phones for direct-IP dialing...
The phones are a pair of Grandstream 1625s. I'm expecting them in a few days, and wanted to make sure I had some grasp of how to set them up. 

I plan to set one up with an airrouter to be pretty portable, and another to live near my home hAP.

What ports to I need to set up to forward on the nodes? 5060? Anything else?

Is it necessary to change any firmware settings on the phones?

No.

Plug them into one of the LAN
Plug them into one of the LAN ports (2 - 4) on the hAP.  Done.
They should come defaulted to DHCP, so they will get a DHCP address from the hAP.  You likely should assign a DHCP reserved address in the hAP so the phone always gets the same address.

OK, I have the two GXP1625's
OK, I have the two GXP1625's up and running. The inability to add direct IP dialed contacts to the address book is a pretty big annoyance, though.

I picked up a DP750 and two DP720's. I've paired the handsets to the base station and can make calls by direct IP dial usign the more convenient *47 shortcut, and have added the GXP1625s to the phonebook. Calls from the cordless handsets work to the GXP1625s, but calls from the GXP1625s to the handsets don't seem to go through. The IP address is for the base station, and I don't know how to select a handset from there. The only difference between them seems to be the IPEI, which looks like a MAC address. Any ideas on how to place calls to the wireless handsets linked to the base station? Port addresses make sense, but I don't see how to assign a port to a handset.
