Configuration through a Central Server Grandstream GXW400X can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system. When GXW400X boots up, it will send TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS requests to download configuration files, “cfg000b82xxxxxx” and “cfg00082xxxxxx.xml”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the LAN MAC address of the GXW400X.
GXW will attempt to retrieve the new image files by downloading them into the GXW400x ’s SRAM. During this stage, the GXW’s LEDs will blink until the checking/downloading process is completed. Upon verification of checksum, the new code image will then be saved into the Flash.
1. Unzip the file and put all of them under the root directory of the TFTP server. 2. Put the PC running the TFTP server and the GXW400X device in the same LAN segment. 3. TFTP server's security settings should be changed from "Receive Only" to "Transmit Only" for the firmware upgrade.
