HandyTone-486 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.
When HandyTone ATA boot up, it will send TFTP or HTTP request to download configuration file,
"cfg000b82xxxxxx", where "000b82xxxxxx" is the MAC address of the HandyTone ATA.
The configuration files can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP from the central server. A service
provider or an enterprise with large deployment of HandyTone ATA can easily manage the
configuration and service provisioning of individual devices remotely from a central server.
Grandstream has a provisioning system called GAPS (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System)
that is used 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 server for further provisioning. Grandstream also provide GAPSLite software package
which contains our NAT friendly TFTP server and a configuration tool to facilitate the task of
generating device configuration files.
The GAPSLite configuration tool is now free to end users. The tool and configuration template are
available for download from http://www.grandstream.com/support/configurationtool.html.
