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 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 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.
