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 Grandstream Device boots up or reboots, it will issue request for configuration file named
“cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx”, where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the MAC address of the device, i.e., “cfg000b820102ab”. The
configuration file name should be in lower cases.

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.

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:
No
Check every day
Check every week
Hour of the day(0-23):

Day of the week(0-6):

If automatic upgrade is enabled, service provider can further customize the behavior and distribute server
load by setting hour of the day and/or day of the week for upgrade.
