CONFIGURATION THROUGH A CENTRAL SERVER
Grandstream HandyTone ATA can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system.
When HandyTone ATA boot up, it will send TFTP or HTTP request to download configuration file
“cfg000b82xxxxxx”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the MAC address of the HandyTone ATA. The configuration
file can be loaded into devices via TFTP or HTTP from the central provisioning server, so the service
provider or an enterprise with large deployment of HandyTone ATAs can easily manage the configuration
and service provision to individual devices remotely.
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 friendly)
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
provision 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
available for download from http://www.grandstream.com/configurationtool.html
