CONFIGURATION THROUGH SECURE CENTRAL PROVISIONING SERVER

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 .
