This damage is NOT covered by the manufacture warranty. Grandstream will NOT take any responsibility for this kind of damage. Please be very CAREFUL when doing firmware upgrade.

To upgrade software, BudgeTone-100 phone can be configured with a TFTP server where the new code image is located. The TFTP upgrade can work in either static IP or DHCP mode using private or public IP address. It is recommended that the TFTP server must have either public IP address or be on the same LAN segment with the phone.

There are 2 ways to set up the TFTP server to upgrade the firmware, namely via keypad and via the phone’s Web configuration interface. To configure the TFTP server via keypad, press “Menu” key and then press the down arrow key 5 times until you see the “tftp” option. Press the “Menu” again and the current TFTP server IP address will be displayed on the LCD. Enter the new TFTP server’s full 12-digit IP address and wait about 2 seconds for the 3 separating “.” to show up on the LCD. E.g., if the new TFTP server IP is 192.168.1.90, enter 192168001090. After about 2 seconds, the LCD will display 192.168.001.090. At that time, press the “Menu” key to confirm and quit the TFTP IP editing mode.

To configure the TFTP server via the Web configuration interface, open up your browser to point at the IP address of the phone. Input the admin password to enter the configuration screen. From there, enter the TFTP server address in the designated field towards the bottom of the configuration screen.
