Upgrading via Local TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/FTPS Servers
For users that would like to use remote upgrading without a local TFTP/FTP/FTPS/HTTP/HTTPS server, Grandstream offers a
NAT-friendly HTTP server. This enables users to download the latest software upgrades for their devices via this server. Please
refer to the webpage:
https://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware
Alternatively, users can download for example a free TFTP or HTTP server and conduct a local firmware upgrade. A free
window version TFTP server is available for download from:

2. Connect the PC running the TFTP server and the phone to the same LAN segment.
3. Launch the TFTP server and go to the File menu->Configure->Security to change the TFTP server's default setting from
"Receive Only" to "Transmit Only" for the firmware upgrade.
4. Start the TFTP server and configure the TFTP server in the phone's web configuration interface.
5. Configure the Firmware Server Path to the IP address of the PC.
6. Save and Apply the changes and reboot the HT812/HT814.

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
the possible to store all of the firmware 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 set to "Yes", the device will only issue firmware upgrade request if there are changes in the firmware Prefix or
Postfix.

When "Automatic Upgrade" is set "Yes, every" the auto check will be done in the minute specified in this field. If set to "daily
at hour (0-23)", Service Provider can use P193 (Auto Check Interval) to have the devices do a daily check at the hour set in
this field with either Firmware Server or Config Server. If set to "weekly on day (0-6)" the auto check will be done on the day
specified in this field. This allows the device to periodically check if there are any new changes need to be taken on a
scheduled time. By defining different intervals in P193 for different devices, Server Provider can spread the Firmware or
Configuration File download in minutes to reduce the Firmware or Provisioning Server load at any given time
Configuration File Download
Grandstream SIP Devices can be configured via the Web Interface as well as via a Configuration File (binary or XML) through
TFTP, FTP/FTPS or HTTP/HTTPS. The Config Server Path is the TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS server path for the configuration file. It
needs to be set to a valid URL, either in FQDN or IP address format. The Config Server Path can be the same or different
from the Firmware Server Path.
