Note that the provision program will apply and reload the settings after downloading the legacy
binary cfgMAC config file. This means that a provision/re-direction server can redirect the
device to a XML provision server without reboot. It can also be used to send the XML
encryption password.
If the download of cfgMAC.xml file is not successful, the provision program will download the
generic cfg.xml file. This approach can be used to design a two-phase provision process. One
example for such process is a user self-provision system using PIN codes. The provision server
will first hand out a generic XML configuration file that allows the device to make calls to the
automated provision center. After the user enters the number and PIN code, the actual per device
configuration file is generated.
C ONFIGURATION P ARAMETERS
A configuration parameter is associated with each particular field in the web configuration page.
A parameter consists of a Capital letter P and 2 to 3 (Could be extended to 4 in the future) digit
numeric numbers. i.e., P2 is associated with “Admin Password” in the Advanced Page. For a
detailed parameter list, please refer to the corresponding firmware release configuration
template.
G ENERATE C ONFIGURATION F ILES
Grandstream offers free Configuration File generator software in both Linux/Unix and Windows
platform. Both Configuration File Generators can be downloaded from Grandstream official web
site at

TFTP OR HTTP/HTTP S FOR C ONFIGURATION F ILE

with HTTP/HTTPS, which is more reliable and has NO NAT issue.
C ONFIGURATION F ILE E NCRYPTION
Grandstream Configuration Generator allows user to ENCRYPTE the generated Configuration
File with AES 128 bit encryption. Windows version allows user to choose not to encrypt the
Configuration File, but it is recommended to use Encryption for security purpose.
