Five Success Tips when using the Voice Prompt
1. “*” shifts down to the next menu option
2. “#” returns to the main menu
3. “9” functions as the ENTER key in many cases to confirm an option
4. All entered digit sequences have known lengths - 2 digits for menu option and 12 digits for IP
address. For IP address, add 0 before the digits if the digits are less than 3 (i.e. - 192.168.0.26
should be key in like 192168000026. No decimal is needed).
5. Key entry cannot be deleted but the phone may prompt error once it is detected
PLACING A PHONE CALL

PHONE OR EXTENSION NUMBERS
1. Dial the number directly and wait for 4 seconds (To change the default value, modify the following
setting - “No Key Entry Timeout”)
or
2. Dial the number directly and press # (Use # as dial key” must be configured in web configuration).

Examples:
1. Dial a number (e.g. (626) 666-7890), first enter the prefix number (usually 1+ or international
code) followed by the phone number. Press # or wait for 4 seconds. Check with your VoIP
service provider for further details on prefix numbers.
DIRECT IP CALLS
Direct IP calling allows two parties, that is, a FXS Port with an analog phone and another VoIP Device, to
talk to each other in an ad hoc fashion without a SIP proxy.
Elements necessary to completing a Direct IP Call:
1. Both GXW42XX and other VoIP Device, have public IP addresses, or
2. Both GXW42XX and other VoIP Device are on the same LAN using private IP addresses, or
3. Both GXW42XX and other VoIP Device can be connected through a router using public or private
IP addresses (with necessary port forwarding or DMZ).
GXW42XX supports two ways to make Direct IP Calling:
Using IVR
1. Pick up the analog phone then access the voice menu prompt by dial “***”
2. Dial “047” to access the direct IP call menu
3. Enter the IP address using format ex. 192*168*0*160 after the dial tone.
Using Star Code
1. Pick up the analog phone then dial “*47”
2. Enter the target IP address using same format as above.
Note: NO dial tone will be played between step 1 and 2.
Destination ports can be specified by using “*” (encoding for “:”) followed by the port number.
Examples:
a) If the target IP address is 192.168.0.160, the dialing convention is

*47 or Voice Prompt with option 047, then 192*168*0*160.
followed by pressing the “#” key if it is configured as a send key or wait 4 seconds. In this case,
the default destination port 5060 is used if no port is specified.
b) If the target IP address/port is 192.168.1.20:5062, then the dialing convention would be:
*47 or Voice Prompt with option 047, then 192*168*0*160*5062 followed by pressing the “#”
key if it is configured as a send key or wait for 4 seconds.
CALL HOLD
Place a call on hold by pressing the “flash” button on the analog phone (if the phone has that button).
Press the “flash” button again to release the previously held Caller and resume conversation. If no “flash”
button is available, use “hook flash” (toggle on-off hook quickly). You may drop a call using hook flash.
CALL WAITING
Call waiting tone (2 short beeps) indicates an incoming call, if the call waiting feature is enabled. Toggle
between incoming call and current call by pressing the “flash” button. First call is placed on hold. Press
the “flash” button to toggle between two active calls.
CALL TRANSFER
BLIND TRANSFER
Assume that call Caller A and B are in conversation. A wants to Blind Transfer B to C:
3. Caller A presses FLASH on the analog phone to hear the dial tone.
4. Caller A dials *87 then dials caller C’s number, and then # (or wait for 4 seconds).
5. Caller A will hear the confirm tone. Then, A can hang up.
NOTE: “Enable Call Feature” must be set to “Yes” in web configuration page.
Caller A can place a call on hold and wait for one of three situations:
1. A quick confirmation tone (similar to call waiting tone) followed by a dial tone. This indicates the
transfer is successful (transferee has received a 200 OK from transfer target). At this point, Caller
A can either hang up or make another call.
2. A quick busy tone followed by a restored call (on supported platforms only). This means the
transferee has received a 4xx response for the INVITE and we will try to recover the call. The
busy tone is just to indicate to the transferor that the transfer has failed.
3. Continuous busy tone. The phone has timed out. Note: continuous busy tone does not indicate
the transfer has been successful, nor does it indicate the transfer has failed. It often means there
was a failure to receive second NOTIFY – check firmware for most recent release.

ATTENDED TRANSFER
Assume that Caller A and B are in conversation. Caller A wants to Attend Transfer B to C:
1. Caller A presses FLASH on the analog phone for dial tone.
2. Caller A then dials Caller C’s number followed by # (or wait for 4 seconds).
3. If Caller C answers the call, Caller A and Caller C are in conversation. Then A can hang up to
complete transfer.
4. If Caller C does not answer the call, Caller A can press “flash” to resume call with Caller B.
NOTE: When Attended Transfer fails and A hangs up, the GXW42XX will ring back user A to remind A
that B is still on the call. A can pick up the phone to resume conversation with B.
3-WAY CONFERENCING
The GXW42XX supports Bellcore style 3-way Conference.
Instructions for 3-way conference:
Assuming that call party A and B are in conversation. A (GXW42XX) wants to bring C in a conference:
1. A presses FLASH (on the analog phone, or Hook Flash for old model phones) to get a dial tone.
2. A dials C’s number then # (or wait for 4 seconds).
3. If C answers the call, then A presses FLASH to bring B, C in the conference.
4. If C does not answer the call, A can press FLASH back to talk to B.
5. If A presses FLASH during conference, C will be dropped out.
6. If A hangs up, the conference will be terminated or transfer B to C if “Transfer on Conference
Hangup” set to yes
HUNTING GROUP
This feature allows the user to setup a single SIP account on the gateway and have the ability to use all
FXS ports to make/receive calls. Using this feature, all ports active in same Hunting Group will have the
same phone number and incoming calls will be distributed in a Linear or Circular manner among the ports
active in that Hunting Group. The number of hunting groups is limited by the number of ports each GXW
model has - i.e. each port can be its own Hunting Group. The most practical and efficient way to use
Hunting Groups is to assign 2 or 3 ports to separate Hunting Groups.
One additional and popular way to use the Hunting Group feature is called “multiplexed analog lines”. In
this configuration, a legacy PBX system with 8 FXO trunks can be connected to 8 GXW 42xx ports
configured as a Hunting Group. The GXW can be registered to a SIP server provider using only one
phone number. If the SIP service provider allows multiple calls to the same number, the GXW will allow 8
concurrent calls to the same SIP number. All office members can be reached remotely using the same
phone number in a round-robin fashion.
Example Configuration of a typical Hunting Group:
1. Configure the SIP account from your VoIP Service Provider on FXS port 1 under FXS Ports
webpage.
2. Select Active under the Hunting Group drop box for FXS port 1.
3. For the remaining ports (say 2, 3 and 4) select 1 for Hunting Group. Ports 2, 3 and 4 are now
active members of the hunting group associated with port 1.
This configuration will route all calls directed to FXS port 1 to ports 2, 3 and/or 4 in round robin fashion
respectively if port 1 is busy or times out. You can configure the ring timeout on the Profile page.
Example configuration of a multiple Hunting Group:
FXS Port #1: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting group set to "Active"
FXS Port #2: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "1"
Hunting Group 1 contains ports 1, 2, 3. Hunting Group 4 contains ports 4, 5, 6.

Hunting Group 7 contains ports 7, 8.
Please be aware, the choice of 1 for ports 2 and 3, the choice of 4 for ports 5 and 6, the choice 7 for port

8 is required to indicate that the SIP account tied to port marked as “Active” will be used for all members
of the same Hunting group. Needless to say, those members of the same Hunting group may not be
sequential ports. In following example ports 3, 5 and 7 tied to SIP Account configured in Port #1 marked
as “Active”, and ports 4,6,8 tied to SIP Account configured in Port #2 marked as “Active” as well.
Example of not sequential configuration of a multiple Hunting Group:
FXS Port #2: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting Group set to "Active"
FXS Port #4: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting group set to "2"
FXS Port #7: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting group set to "1"
…
Note: A single call directed to the SIP account will NOT result in all ports ringing at the same time. They
will ring in the hunting group only. This feature is applicable to incoming calls only.
There are two types of hunting groups, Linear and Circular. Linear style will sort the call to the lowest-
numbered available line, this is also called “serial hunting”. Circular style will distribute the calls "round-
robin". If a call is assigned to line 1, the next call goes to 2 and the next to 3. The succession throughout
each of the lines continues even if one of the previous lines becomes available. When the end of the hunt
group is reached, the hunting starts over at the first line. Lines are skipped if they are still busy on a
previous call. These two hunting styles can be configured from the Profile_x page.
INTER-PORT CALLING
In some cases a user may want to make phone calls between the phones connected to multiple ports of
the same gateway when it is used as a standalone unit, without the use of a SIP server. This feature will
also be applicable when the gateway is used with Hunting Groups and is registered to SIP server only
with one master number. In such cases users still will be able to make inter-port calls by using the IVR
feature.

For example, on the GXW42xx inter-port calling is achieved by dialing *** and 7 plus two extra digits
corresponding to the port number. For example the user connected to port 1 can be reached by dialing ***
and 701; the user connected to port 24 can be reached by dialing *** 724.
SENDING AND RECEIVING FAX
GXW42XX supports fax in two modes: 1) T.38 (Fax over IP) and 2) Fax Pass through. T.38 is the
preferred method because it is more reliable and works well in most network conditions. If the service
provider supports T.38, please use this method by selecting T.38 as fax mode (default). If the service
provider does not support T.38, pass-through mode may be used. If you have problems with sending or
receiving Fax, toggle the Fax Tone Detection Mode setting.
SUPPORT RADIUS PROTOCOL
GXW42XX supports RADIUS for authentication, authorization and billing purposes. Primary and
secondary RADIUS server configurations are available to provide redundancy to this feature. In case
Primary Radius server becomes unusable, RADIUS requests will be automatically sent to the secondary
server. When at least one RADUIS server was configured, the device will allow users to make phone calls
only after authorization from RADIUS server has been received. CDR (Call Detail Record) is also sent to
the RADIUS server for billing purposes. RAIDUS server can send requests to terminate calls when run
out of pre-paid credit.
The GXW42xx will be able to work in VoIP billing environment using redundant double server
configuration. User will be able to configure primary and secondary RADUIS server IP Addresses or
FQDNs. Once at least one RADUIS server was configured, the device will allow users to make phone
calls only after permission from RADIUS server has been received. In case Primary Radius server
becomes unusable, secondary will take role of primary and will manage credit recourses in the network.
Imbedded RADIUS client also supports request generated by Radius server to terminate calls when run out of
pre-paid credit.

TABLE 10: PROFILE SETTINGS
Profile Active When set to Yes the SIP Profile is activated.
Primary SIP Primary SIP Server’s IP address or Domain name provided by VoIP service provider.
Server
Failover SIP Failover SIP Server’s IP address or Domain name provided by VoIP Service provider. This
Server server will be used if the Primary SIP server becomes unavailable.
Prefer Primary Default is No. If set to yes it will register to Primary Server if registration with Failover server
SIP Server expires
Outbound Proxy IP address or Domain name of Outbound Proxy, or Media Gateway, or Session Border
Controller. Used by GXW42XX for firewall or NAT penetration in different network
environments. If symmetric NAT is detected, STUN will not work and ONLY outbound proxy
can correct the problem.

SIP transport User can select UDP or TCP or TLS. Please make sure you’re SIP Server or network
environment supports SIP over the selected transport method. Default is UDP.
NAT Traversal This parameter defines whether the GXW42XX NAT traversal mechanism is activated or not.
If activated (by choosing “Yes”) and a STUN server is also specified, then the GXW42XX
performs according to the STUN client specification. Under this mode, the embedded STUN
client will detect if and what type of firewall/NAT is being used. If the detected NAT is a Full
Cone, Restricted Cone, or a Port-Restricted Cone, the GXW42XX will use its mapped public
IP address and port in all of its SIP and SDP messages.
If the NAT Traversal field is set to “Yes” with no specified STUN server, the GXW42XX will
periodically (every 20 seconds) send a blank UDP packet (with no payload data) to the SIP
server to keep the “hole” on the NAT open.
DNS Mode One from the 3 modes available for “DNS Mode” configuration:
-A Record (for resolving IP Address of target according to domain name)
-SRV (DNS SRV resource records indicates how to find services for various protocols)
-NAPTR/SRV (Naming Authority Pointer according to RFC 2915)
One mode can be chosen for the client to look up server.
The default value is “A Record”
Tel URI The default setting is “Disabled”. If the phone has an assigned PSTN
Number, this field should be set to “User=Phone” then a
“User=Phone” parameter will be attached to the “From header” in the SIP
request to indicate the E.164 number. If server supports TEL URI format, then this option
needs to be selected.
SIP Registration This parameter controls whether the GXW42XX needs to send REGISTER messages to the
proxy server. The default setting is “Yes”.
Unregister on Default is No. If set to “Yes”, the SIP user’s registration information is cleared on reboot.
Reboot

Outgoing Call Default is No. If set to “Yes,” user can place outgoing calls even when not registered (if
without allowed by Internet Telephone Service Provider) but is unable to receive incoming calls.
Registration
Any port, member of a Hunting Group that is not registered with a SIP account, will be able to
place outbound calls using the SIP credentials of the primary Hunting Group port.
For example: Port 1, 3 and 5 are members of the same Hunting Group. Port 1 is registered
with a SIP account. Ports 3 and 5 are not registered. Ports 3 and 5 will be able to place
outbound calls using the SIP account of port 1, even if Outgoing Call without Registration
is set to No
Register Allows the user to specify the time frequency (in minutes) for the GXW42XX to refresh its
Expiration registration with the specified registrar. The default interval is 60 minutes (or 1 hour). The
maximum interval is 65535 minutes (about 45 days).
SIP Registration Allows the user to specify the time frequency (in seconds) for the GXW42XX to re-register
Failure Retry Wait after registration failure. The default interval is 20 seconds. The maximum interval is 3600
Time seconds (1 hour).
Local SIP port Defines the local SIP port the GXW42XX will listen and transmit. The default value for Profile
1 is 5060 and 6060 for Profile 2.
Use random SIP Default is No. If set to Yes, the device will pick randomly-generated SIP port. This is
port usually necessary when multiple Gateway or ATA are behind the same NAT.

Distinctive Custom Ring Tone 1 to 3 with associate Caller ID: when selected, if Caller ID is configured,
Ringtone then the device will ONLY uses this ring tone when the incoming call is from the Caller ID.
System Ring Tone is used for all other calls. When selected but no Caller ID is configured,
the selected ring tone will be used for all incoming calls. Distinctive ring tones can be
configured not only for matching whole number, but also for matching prefixes. In this case
symbol * (star) will be used.
If server supports Alert-Info header and standard ring tone set (Bellcore) or distinctive ring
tone 1-10 is specified, then the ring tone in the Alert-Info header from server will be used.

MWI disables the message waiting light on certain phones. GXW42XX has this feature enabled by
default. However, certain phones (rare) that do not support it may mistakenly treat this CID
signal as an incoming call. A configuration option is needed to turn on MWI in this case.
Visual MWI Type This is the type of signal sent to the analog phone to make it turn the lamp ON upon receiving
a Voice mail. Check the phone’s manual to find out what signal is supported, FSK (default) or
Neon.
Ring Timeout Incoming call will stop ringing when not picked up given a specific period of time.
Hunting Group Default is 20 seconds. If call is not answered within this designated time period, the call will
Ring Timeout be forwarded to the next member of a Hunt Group.

Hunting Group Linear and Circular. Linear style will sort the call to the lowest-numbered available line, this is
Type also called “serial hunting”. Circular style will distribute the calls "round-robin". If a call is
assigned to line 1, the next call goes to 2 and the next to 3. The succession throughout each
of the lines continues even if one of the previous lines becomes available. When the end of
the hunt group is reached, the hunting starts over at the first line. Lines are skipped if they are
still busy on a previous call. These two hunting styles can be configured from the Profile_x
page.
Delayed Call Default value is 20 seconds. In case this feature activated using * codes (*92 code), the call
Forward Wait will be forwarded after this preconfigured amount of time.
Timeout
No Key Entry Default is 4 seconds. Call will be completed within this time interval if no additional key entry
Timeout occurs.
Early Dial Default is No. Use only if proxy supports 484 response. This parameter controls whether the
phone will send an early INVITE each time a key is pressed when a user dials a number. If
set to “Yes”, an INVITE is sent using the dial-number collected thus far; Otherwise, no
INVITE is sent until the “(Re-)Dial” button is pressed or after about 5 seconds have elapsed if
the user forgets to press the “Re-Dial” button. The “Yes” option should be used ONLY if there
is a SIP proxy configured and the proxy server supports 484 Incomplete Address response.
Otherwise, the call will likely be rejected by the proxy (with a 404 Not Found error).
This feature is NOT designed to work with and should NOT be enabled for direct IP-to-IP
calling.
Dial Plan Prefix Sets the prefix added to each dialed number.
Use # as Dial Key Allows users to configure the “#” key as the “Send” (or “Dial”) key. If set to “Yes”, “#” will send
the number. In this case, this key is essentially equivalent to the “Dial” key. If set to “No”, this
“#” key can be included as part of number.
Dial Plan Dial Plan Rules:
1. Accept Digits: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 , *, #, A,a,B,b,C,c,D,d
2. Grammar: x - any digit from 0-9;
a. xx+ - at least 2 digits number;

b. xx. – at least 2 digits number;
c. ^ - exclude;
d. [3-5] - any digit of 3, 4, or 5;
e. [147] - any digit 1, 4, or 7;
f. <2=011> - replace digit 2 with 011 when dialing

g. < =1> - add a leading 1 to all numbers dialed, vice versa will remove a 1
from the number dialed
h. | - or
• Example 1: {[369]11 | 1617xxxxxxx} –
Allow 311, 611, 911, and any 10 digit numbers of leading digits 1617
• Example 2: {^1900x+ | <=1617>xxxxxxx} –
Block any number of leading digits 1900 and add prefix 1617 for any dialed 7 digit
numbers
• Example 3: {1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx | <2=011>x+} –
Allow any length of number with leading digit 2 and 10 digit-numbers of leading digit
1 and leading exchange number between 2 and 9; If leading digit is 2, replace
leading digit 2 with 011 before dialing.
3. Default: Outgoing - {x+}
Example of a simple dial plan used in a Home/Office in the US:
{ ^1900x. | <=1617>[2-9]xxxxxx | 1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx | 011[2-9]x. | [3469]11 }
Explanation of example rule (reading from left to right):
• ^1900x. - prevents dialing any number started with 1900

• <=1617>[2-9]xxxxxx - allows dialing to local area code (617) numbers by dialing 7
numbers and 1617 area code will be added automatically
• 1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx |- allows dialing to any US/Canada Number with 11 digits length

• 011[2-9]x. - allows international calls starting with 011
[3469]11 - allow dialing special and emergency numbers 311, 411, 611 and 911
Note: In some cases user wishes to dial strings such as *123 to activate voice mail or other
application provided by service provider. In this case * should be predefined inside dial plan
feature and the Dial Plan will be: { [x*]+ }.
Subscribe for Default is No. When set to “Yes” a SUBSCRIBE for Message Waiting Indication will be sent
MWI periodically.
Send Anonymous If this parameter is set to “Yes”, the “From” header along with Privacy and
P_Asserted_Identity headers in outgoing INVITE message will be set to anonymous, blocking

SAVING THE CONFIGURATION CHANGES
After user makes a change to the configuration, press the “Update” button in the Configuration Menu. The
web browser will then display a message window to confirm saved changes.
Grandstream recommends reboot or power cycle the gateway after saving changes.
REBOOTING FROM REMOTE
Press the “Reboot” button at the bottom of the configuration menu to reboot the phone remotely. The web
browser will then display a message window to confirm that reboot is underway. Wait 30 seconds to log in
again.
CONFIGURATION THROUGH A CENTRAL SERVER
Grandstream GXW42xx can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system.
When GXW42xx boots up, it will send TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS requests to download configuration files,
“cfg000b82xxxxxx” and “cfg00082xxxxxx.xml”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the LAN MAC address of the
GXW42xx. If the download of “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml” is not successful, the provision program will issue
request a generic configuration file “cfg.xml”. Configuration file name should be in lower case letters.
The configuration data can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS from the central server. A service
provider or an enterprise with large deployment of GXW42xx can easily manage the configuration and
service provisioning of individual devices remotely from a central server.

Grandstream provides a central provisioning system GAPS (Grandstream Automated Provisioning
System) 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 provides configuration tools (Windows and Linux/Unix version) to facilitate the task of
generating device configuration files. The Grandstream configuration tools are free to end users. The
configuration tools and configuration templates are available for download from
http://www.grandstream.com/support/tools .
.

SOFTWARE UPGRADE
Software upgrade can be done via either TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS. The corresponding configuration
settings are in the ADVANCED SETTINGS configuration page.
FIRMWARE UPGRADE THROUGH TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS
To upgrade via TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS, the “Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning upgrade via” field needs
to be set to TFTP HTTP or HTTPS, respectively. “Firmware Server Path” needs to be set to a valid URL
of a TFTP or HTTP server, server name can be in either FQDN or IP address format. Here are examples
of some valid URL.
e.g. firmware.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.7.6
e.g. firmware.grandstream.com
NOTES:
 Firmware upgrade server in IP address format can be configured via IVR. Please refer to the
CONFIGURATION GUIDE section for instructions. If the server is in FQDN format, it must be set
via the web configuration interface.
 Grandstream recommends end-user use the Grandstream HTTP server. Its address can be found
at http://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware . Currently the HTTP firmware server URL is
firmware.grandstream.com. For large companies, we recommend to maintain their own TFTP/
HTTP/HTTPS server for upgrade and provisioning procedures.
 Once a “Firmware Server Path” is set, user needs to update the settings and reboot the device. If
the configured firmware server is found and a new code image is available, the GXW will attempt
to retrieve the new image files by downloading them into the GXW420x ’s SRAM. During this
stage, the GXW’s LEDs will blink until the checking/downloading process is completed. Upon
verification of checksum, the new code image will then be saved into the Flash. If
TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS fails for any reason (e.g. TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS server is not responding, there
are no code image files available for upgrade, or checksum test fails, etc), the GXW will stop the
TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.
 Firmware upgrade may take as long as 15 to 30 minutes over Internet, or just 5 minutes if it is
performed on a LAN. It is recommended to conduct firmware upgrade in a controlled LAN
environment if possible. For users who do not have a local firmware upgrade server,
Grandstream provides a NAT-friendly TFTP server on the public Internet for firmware upgrade.

 Grandstream’s latest firmware is available http://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware .
Oversea users are strongly recommended to download the binary files and upgrade firmware
locally in a controlled LAN environment.
 Alternatively, user can download a free TFTP or HTTP server and conduct local firmware upgrade.
A free windows version TFTP server is available for download from
http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/New-customerFree.cfm. Our latest official release can be
downloaded from http://www.grandstream.com/y-firmware.htm.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOCAL FIRMWARE UPGRADE:
1. Unzip the file and put all of them under the root directory of the TFTP server.
2. Put the PC running the TFTP server and the GXW42XX device in the same LAN segment.
3. TFTP server's security settings should be changed from "Receive Only" to "Transmit Only" for the
firmware upgrade.
4. Configure the Firmware Server Path with the IP address of the PC
5. Update the change and reboot the unit.
CONFIGURATION FILE DOWNLOAD

Grandstream SIP Device can be configured via Web Interface as well as via Configuration File through
TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS. “Config Server Path” is the TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS server path for configuration
file. It needs to be set to a valid URL, either in FQDN or IP address format. The “Config Server Path” can
be same or different from the “Firmware Server Path”.
A configuration parameter is associated with each particular field in the web configuration page. A
parameter consists of a Capital letter P and 1 to 3 (Could be extended to 4 in the future) digit numeric
numbers. i.e., P2 is associated with “Admin Password” in the ADVANCED SETTINGS page. For a
detailed parameter list, please refer to the corresponding firmware release configuration template.
When a Grandstream device boots up or reboots, it will issue a request for a configuration file
“cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx”, where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the MAC address of the device, i.e., “cfg000b820102ab”. In
addition, device will also requests a XML configuration file “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml”. If the download of
“cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml” is not successful, the provision program will issue a request for a generic
configuration file “cfg.xml”. Configuration file name should be in lower case letters.

FIRMWARE AND CONFIGURATION FILE PREFIX AND POSTFIX
Firmware Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the firmware name with the matching Prefix and
Postfix. This makes it possible to store ALL of the firmwares with different version in one single directory.
Similarly, Config File Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the configuration file with the matching
Prefix and Postfix. Thus multiple configuration files for the same device can be stored in one directory.
In addition, when the field “Check New Firmware only when F/W pre/suffix changes” is selected, the
device will only issue firmware upgrade request if there are changes in the firmware Prefix or Postfix.
MANAGING FIRMWARE AND CONFIGURATION FILE DOWNLOAD
When “Automatic Upgrade” is set to “Yes”, Service Provider can use P193 to have the devices
periodically check with either Firmware Server or Config Server, whenever they are defined. This allows
the device periodically check whether there is any new changes need to be taken, similar to the AntiVirus
Software to upgrade the Virus Definition files. Screenshot is below:
Automatic Upgrade:
10080
No Yes, every minutes(60-5256000).
1 1
Yes, daily at hour (0-23). Yes, weekly on day (0-6).

RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING
