Configuration File Download

Grandstream SIP Device can be configured via Web Interface as well as via Configuration File through TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS.
"Config Server Path" is the TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS server path for configuration file. It needs to be set to a valid URL, either in
FQDN or IP address format. The "Config Server Path" can be same or different from the "Firmware Server Path".
A configuration parameter is associated with each particular field in the web configuration page. A parameter consists of a
Capital letter P and 1 to 3 (Could be extended to 4 in the future) digit numeric numbers. i.e., P2 is associated with "Admin
Password" in the ADVANCED SETTINGS page. For a detailed parameter list, please refer to the corresponding firmware release
configuration template.
When a Grandstream device boots up or reboots, it will issue a request for a configuration file "cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx", where
"xxxxxxxxxxxx" is the MAC address of the device, i.e., "cfg000b820102ab". In addition, device will also requests a XML
configuration file "cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml". If the download of "cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml" is not successful, the provision program will
issue a request for a generic configuration file "cfg.xml". Configuration file name should be in lower case letters.
The Only acceptable Config file formats to be used when provisioning are XML or binary.
Make sure the MAC header on the Config file is the provisioned device's MAC address or you can remove the header
completely.

Firmware and Configuration File Prefix and Postfix

Firmware Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the firmware name with the matching Prefix and Postfix. This makes it
possible to store ALL of the firmwares with different version in one single directory. Similarly, Config File Prefix and Postfix
allows device to download the configuration file with the matching Prefix and Postfix. Thus, multiple configuration files for the
same device can be stored in one directory.
In addition, when the field "Check New Firmware only when F/W pre/suffix changes" is selected, the device will only issue
firmware upgrade request if there are changes in the firmware Prefix or Postfix.
Managing Firmware and Configuration File Download
When "Automatic Upgrade" is set to "Yes", Service Provider can use P193 to have the devices periodically check with either
Firmware Server or Config Server, whenever they are defined. This allows the device periodically check whether there is any
new changes need to be taken, similar to the Anti-Virus Software to upgrade the Virus Definition files. Screenshot is below:
