CONFIGURATION THROUGH A CENTRAL SERVER

Grandstream HandyTone ATAs can be configured automatically 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 files can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP from the central server. A service provider or an enterprise with large deployment of HandyTone ATA can easily manage the configuration and service provisioning of individual devices remotely from a central server.

Grandstream provides a licensed provisioning system called GAPSLITE that supports automated configuration of HandyTone ATA. GAPSLITE (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System) uses enhanced (NAT friendly) TFTP or HTTP (thus no NAT issues) and other communication protocols to communicate with each individual HandyTone ATA for firmware upgrade, remote reboot, etc.

Grandstream provide GAPS (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System) service to VoIP service providers. It could be either simple redirection or with certain special provisioning settings. Initially upon booting 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 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.
