The configuration tool creates a device configuration file based on a configuration template and the device’s MAC address. All Grandstream products’ sample configuration templates are available on Grandstream’s web site. A configuration template file contains all configuration parameters available for a product, with comments describing allowed values of the parameters. For a detailed parameter list, please refer to the corresponding firmware release configuration template [2].

When Grandstream device boots up or reboots, it will issue request for a binary configuration file named “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx”, where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the MAC address of the device, i.e., “cfg000b820102ab”. The configuration file name should be in lower cases.
