Grandstream HT-286 / HT-386 / HT-486 / HT-488 / HT-496 / BT-100 can be configured 
via Web GUI Interface as well as via Configuration File through TFTP or HTTP. 
 
The HT-286 / HT-386 / HT-486 / HT-488 / HT-496 / BT-100 accepts configuration files in a 
proprietary binary format which is produced by the Grandstream configuration tool.  The 
configuration tool creates a device configuration file based on a configuration template and 
the device’s MAC address.  All Grandstream products’ sample configuration templates are 
available on Grandstream’s web site
 A configuration template file contains all 
configuration parameters available for a product, with comments describing allowed 
values of the parameters.  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 a binary 
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. 
 
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 
  
The HT-286 / HT-386 / HT-486 / HT-488 / HT-496 / BT-100 can be configured with a 
configuration file using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) or through its embedded 
web server.  The following examples describe how to set the parameters using a 
configuration file.  This configuration description assumes the HT-286 / HT-386 / HT-486 / 
HT-488 / HT-496 / BT-100 will use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to 
obtain an IP address and other network settings.  The HT-286 / HT-386 / HT-486 / HT-488 
/ HT-496 / BT-100 should be configured to load the configuration file each time it resets or 
re-synchronizes.  For detailed information on automated provisioning, please check the
