Configuration File Download
Grandstream SIP Devices can be configured via the Web Interface as well as via a Configuration File (binary or XML) through
TFTP, FTP/FTPS, or HTTP/HTTPS. The “Config Server Path” is the TFTP, FTP/FTPS, or HTTP/HTTPS server path for the
configuration file.
It needs to be set to a valid URL, either an FQDN or IP address format. The “Config Server Path” can be the same or different
from the “Firmware Server Path”.
A configuration parameter is associated with each particular field on the web configuration page. A parameter consists of a
Capital letter P and 2 to 5-digit numeric numbers. i.e., P2 is associated with the “New Password” in the Web
GUI

When the GRP261X/GRP2624/GRP2634/GRP2670/GRP2650 series boots up or reboots, it will issue a request to download an
XML file named “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml”, where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the MAC address of the phone, i.e., “cfg000b820102ab” and
“cfg000b820102ab.xml”. If the download of the “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml” file is not successful followed by a configuration file
named “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx”, the phone will issue a request to download a specific model configuration file “cfg<model>.xml”,
where <model> is the phone model, i.e., “cfggrp2613.xml” for the GRP2613, “cfgrp2614” for the GRP2614. If this file is not
available, the phone will issue a request to download the generic “cfg.xml” file. The configuration file name should be in lower
case letters, If not found, the phone will request a file named “dev[MacAddress].cfg” where “MacAddress” is the MAC address
of the device, With this provisioning file, users are able to provision the device with both P-values and aliases;
The values need to be placed between lines that begin with a ‘#’ to be able to be provisioned. Lines that start with a ‘#’ have
their data ignored and so they can be used as comments. For e.g.:
#
account.2.name=2225
