Configuration through a Central Server

The HT812/HT814 can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system.
When HT812/HT814 boots up, it will send TFTP, FTP/FTPS or HTTP/HTTPS requests to download
configuration files, "cfg000b82xxxxxx" and "cfg00082xxxxxx.xml", where "000b82xxxxxx" is the LAN MAC
address of the HT812/HT814. 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, FTP/FTPS or HTTP/HTTPS from the
central server. A service provider or an enterprise with large deployment of HT812/HT814 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 enhanced (NAT friendly) TFTP or
HTTP (thus no NAT issues) 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 or HTTP/HTTPS 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
