Configuration through a Central Server

The HT818 can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system. When HT818 boots up, it
will send TFTP, HTTP/HTTPS or FTP/FTPS requests to download configuration files, "cfg000b82xxxxxx"
and "cfg00082xxxxxx.xml", where "000b82xxxxxx" is the LAN MAC address of the HT818. If the download
of "cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml" is not successful, the provision program will issue request a generic configuration
file "cfg.xml". Configuration file name should be in lower case letters. The configuration data can be
downloaded via TFTP, HTTP/HTTPS or FTP/FTPS from the central server. A service provider or an
enterprise with large deployment of HT818 can easily manage the configuration and service provisioning
of individual devices remotely from a central server.
Grandstream provides a central provisioning system GAPS (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System)
to support automated configuration of Grandstream devices. GAPS uses HTTPS and other communication
protocols to communicate with each individual Grandstream device for firmware upgrade, remote reboot,
etc. Grandstream provides GAPS service to VoIP service providers. Use GAPS for either simple redirection
or with certain special provisioning settings. At boot-up, Grandstream devices by default point to
Grandstream provisioning server GAPS, based on the unique MAC address of each device, GAPS
provision the devices with redirection settings so that they will be redirected to customer's TFTP,
HTTP/HTTPS or FTP/FTPS server for further provisioning. Grandstream also provides configuration tools
(Windows and Linux/Unix version) to facilitate the task of generating device configuration files.
The Grandstream configuration tools are free to end users. The configuration tools and configuration
templates are available for download from
