7 Enhanced IP Phone Configuration

Enhanced IP Phone Configuration is a BroadWorks feature that enables automatic generation of device configuration files, given administrator-supplied templates.

For more information on the Enhanced IP Phone Configuration feature, see the Enhanced IP Phone Configuration Guide 1.a)i.[3].

NOTE: BroadSoft does not manage or distribute template files for use with the Enhanced IP Phone Configuration feature. Obtain template files from Grandstream or use the configuration files obtained from Grandstream for the specific GXW-4004 / GXW-4008 / HT-502 firmware release to create template files appropriate for your installation.

Since the GXW-4004 / GXW-4008 / HT-502 SIP phones require the configuration files be converted into a binary format, an extra step must be performed when using this feature. After the configuration files have been sent to the TFTP server and before the phone is reset, the configuration files must be converted to binary format using Grandstream’s configuration tool. . For detailed information on automated provisioning, please check the Grandstream configuration tool user guide 1.a)i.[2].

The GXW-4004 / GXW-4008 / HT-502 use only a phone-specific file to configure the device. However, the Enhanced IP Phone Configuration feature requires a system and a phone-specific file for each device. To satisfy the system file requirement, an empty file (gxwDefault.txt, htDesfult.txt) will need to be uploaded to BroadWorks as the system file. This file will be sent to the FTP server but will not actually be used for the configuration file generation. The group template file is used to build the configuration files for the devices of this device type assigned to the group. For a sample GXW-4004 / GXW-4008 / HT-502 group template file, see Appendix A.
