Upgrade Through Tftp - Grandstream Networks GXW-410x User Manual

6.2 Upgrade through TFTP

To upgrade firmware via TFTP, the field "Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning: Upgrade Via" needs to be
set to TFTP.
TFTP server can be configured in either IP address format or FQDN.
To configure the TFTP server via the Web configuration interface, open your browser to input the IP
address of the GXW-410x. Enter the admin password to enter the configuration screen. From there, enter
the TFTP server address or URL in the "Firmware Server Path" field near the bottom of the configuration
screen. Once the "Firmware Server Path" is set, user needs to update the change by clicking the
"Update" button. Then "Reboot" or power cycle the unit, the firmware files will be fetched upon booting up.
If the configured updating server is found and a new code image is available, the GXW-410x will attempt
to retrieve the new image files by downloading them into the GXW-410x's SRAM. During this stage, the
GXW-410x's LED will blink until the checking/downloading process is completed. Upon verification of
checksum, the new code image will be saved into the Flash. If TFTP fails for any reason (e.g., TFTP
server is not responding, there are no code image files available for upgrade, or checksum test fails, etc),
the GXW-410x phone will stop the TFTP process and simply boot using the existing code image in the
flash.
Firmware upgrading may take as long as 1 to 20 minutes over the Internet, or just 20+ seconds if it is
performed on a LAN. It is generally recommended to conduct firmware upgrade in a controlled LAN
environment if possible.
For users who do not have a local TFTP server, Grandstream provides a NAT-friendly TFTP server on
the public Internet for users to download the latest firmware upgrade automatically. Please check the
Services section of Grandstream's Web site to obtain this TFTP server IP address:
Alternatively, user can download and install free TFTP or HTTP server in his LAN to do firmware
upgrading.
A free Windows version TFTP server can be downloaded from:
http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/New-customerFree.cfm.
Our latest official release can be downloaded from:
http://www.grandstream.com/y-firmware.htm
Unzip the file and put all of the files under the root directory of the TFTP server. Put the PC running the
TFTP server and the GXW-410x in the same LAN segment. Please go to File -> Configure -> Security to
change the TFTP server's default setting from "Receive Only" to "Transmit Only" for the firmware
upgrade. Start the TFTP server, in the phone's web configuration page, configure the Firmware Server
Path with the IP address of the PC, update the change and reboot the unit.
You can also download the free HTTP server from http://httpd.apache.org/ or just use Microsoft IIS web
server.
