Grandstream
GXV300x
can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system.
When
GXV300x
boot up, it will send TFTP or HTTP request to download configuration file,
“cfg000b82xxxxxx”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the LAN MAC address of the
GXV300x
.
The configuration file can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS from the central server. A service
provider or an enterprise with large deployment of
GXV300x
can easily manage the configuration and ser-
vice 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 friend-
ly) 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 provi-
sion the devices with redirection settings so that they will be redirected to customer’s TFTP or
HTTP/HTTPS 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 avail-
able for download from http://www.grandstream.com/support/configurationtool.html .
