Firmware Upgrade through TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS

To upgrade via TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS, the "Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning upgrade via" field needs
to be set to TFTP HTTP or HTTPS, respectively. "Firmware Server Path" needs to be set to a valid URL of
a TFTP or HTTP server, server name can be in either FQDN or IP address format. Here are examples of
some valid URL.
e.g. firmware.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.0.17
e.g. 72.172.83.110
NOTES:

Firmware upgrade server in IP address format can be configured via IVR. Please refer to the
CONFIGURATION GUIDE section for instructions. If the server is in FQDN format, it must be set
via the web configuration interface.

Grandstream recommends end-user use the Grandstream HTTP server. Its address can be found
at http://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware
is 72.172.83.110. For large companies, we recommend to maintain their own TFTP/ HTTP/HTTPS
server for upgrade and provisioning procedures.

Once a "Firmware Server Path" is set, user needs to update the settings and reboot the device. If
the configured firmware server is found and a new code image is available, the HT701 will attempt
to retrieve the new image files by downloading them into the GXW400x 's SRAM. During this
stage, the HT701'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. If
TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS fails for any reason (e.g. TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS server is not responding, there
are no code image files available for upgrade, or checksum test fails, etc), the HT701 will stop the
TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.

Firmware upgrade may take as long as 15 to 30 minutes over Internet, or just 5 minutes if it is
performed on a LAN.
