5.3 Configuration through a Central Server Grandstream IP phones can be automatically configured via a central provisioning
system called Grandstream Automated Provisioning System (GAPS).
With GAPS, a service provider or an enterprise with large deployment of IP phones can
easily manage the configuration and service provisioning of individual devices remotely
and automatically via a central server. GAPS uses enhanced (NAT friendly) tftp and
other communication protocols to communicate with each individual IP phone even if
the phone is behind a NAT.
GAPS must be used to support automated configuration of an IP phone. To enable this
feature on the phone, the user just needs to enter the IP address of GAPS server in the
tftp server field of the configuration screen. Then power cycle the phone.
For details on how GAPS works, please refer to the documentation of GAPS product.
