PRE
CONFIGURATION AND CONFIGURATION REDIRECTION
For mass deployment, Grandstream provides TFTP/HTTP redirection service. This service is
free. Here is how redirection works. By default all Grandstream products point to our
provisioning system. When a unit is powered up, it will automatically contact our provisioning
server. Our provisioning server will then redirect the unit to customer's TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS
server. The unit will reboot and send further provisioning request asking for configuration file
(or firmware file) from customer's TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS server.
Below is the information we need from service providers for TFTP/HTTP redirection:
1. MAC address range, this should be printed on the carton box
2. Your TFTP/HTTP server IP address
3. Your company name and address
Here is what service providers should do:
1. Create configuration files for all the devices and put them on your TFTP/HTTP server
2. Download the latest official release from
and put them on your TFTP/HTTP server (same directory as above)
3. After we inform you that the devices have been entered into our central provisioning
database, please take out a few devices to test. Upon powering up, they should contact
our provisioning server fm.grandstream.com/gs first, and then get redirected to your
TFTP/HTTP server and pull out the firmware files and the configuration files. They will
be upgraded to the latest firmware with your configurations.
Grandstream also offers pre-configuration of our devices in factory, but this will incur an extra
cost to the product ordered.
A
UTOMATIC PROVISIONING WITHIN LAN
Grandstream products support DHCP Option 66 or 43 for automatic provisioning within a Local
Area Network. The provisioning server URL is embedded inside standard option 66 or 43 of
DHCP responses. All Grandstream product families support DHCP Option 66 while the new
product series GXP21xx/14xx/11xx
support both DHCP Option 66 and 43.
