Our latest official release can be downloaded from:
Firmware (or software) upgrades can be done either via TFTP or HTTP. The corresponding configuration
settings are on the configuration page. Endusers should NOT modify the configuration settings that are
useful for ITSPs. To upgrade your unit firmware, follow these steps:
1. Under Advanced Settings web page, enter your TFTP or HTTP Server IP address (or FQDN)
next to the “Firmware Upgrade: Upgrade Server” field.
2. Select via TFTP or HTTP accordingly.
3. If you plan to use Automatic Upgrade, set it to “Yes”, otherwise No (this will make it check for
upgrade every time you reboot).

HTTP
To upgrade firmware via HTTP, the field “Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning: Upgrade Via” needs to be
set to HTTP. The “Firmware Server Path” should be set to where the firmware files are located.
For example: The user can use the following URL in the Firmware Server Path:
firmware.mycompany.com: 6688/Grandstream/1.3.1.6
where firmware.mycompany.com is the FQDN
of the HTTP server. It can also be in IP address format. “:6688” is the TCP port the HTTP server listening
to, default http server listens to port 80. “/Grandstream/1.3.1.6 is the RELATIVE directory to the root dir
on HTTP web server.

TFTP
To upgrade firmware via TFTP, set the field “Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning: Upgrade Via” to TFTP.
The TFTP server can be configured in either IP address format or FQDN.
To configure the TFTP server via the Web configuration interface, follow these five steps:
1. Open your browser to input the IP address of the GXW410x.
2. Enter the admin password to enter the configuration screen.
3. Enter the TFTP server address or URL in the “Firmware Server Path” field near the
bottom of the configuration screen.
4. Once the “Firmware Server Path” is set, update the change by clicking the “Update”
button.
5. Reboot or power cycle the unit.
If the configured upgrade server is found and a new code image is available, the GXW410x will retrieve
the new image files by downloading them into the GXW410 gateway’s SRAM. During this stage, the
GXW410x gateway’s LED will blink until the checking/downloading process is completed. Upon
verification of checksum, the new code image will be saved into the Flash. If TFTP fails for any reason
(e.g., TFTP server is not responding, there are no code image files available for upgrade, or checksum
test fails, etc), the GXW410x gateway will stop the TFTP process and simply boot using the existing code
image in the flash.
