Grandstream BudgeTone 200 can be automatically configured from a central 
provisioning system. 
 
When BudgeTone 200 boots up, it will send TFTP or HTTP request to download 
configuration files, there are two configuration files, one is “cfg.txt” and the other is 
“cfg000b82xxxxxx”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the MAC address of the BudgeTone 200.    
 
The configuration files can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP from the central server. A 
service provider or an enterprise with large deployment of BudgeTone 200 can easily 
manage the configuration and service provisioning of individual devices remotely from a 
central server.  
 
Grandstream provides a licensed provisioning system called GAPS that can be used to 
support automated configuration of BudgeTone 200.  GAPS (Grandstream Automated 
Provisioning System) uses enhanced (NAT friendly) TFTP or HTTP (thus no NAT 
issues) and other communication protocols to communicate with each individual 
BudgeTone 200 for firmware upgrade, remote reboot, etc.  
 
Grandstream provide GAPS (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System) service to 
VoIP service providers.  It could be either simple redirection or with certain special 
provisioning settings. Initially upon booting up, Grandstream devices by default point to 
Grandstream provisioning server GAPS, based on the unique MAC address of each 
device, GAPS provision the devices with redirection settings so that they will be 
redirected to customer’s TFTP or http server for further provisioning.   
Grandstream also provide GAPSLite software package which contains our NAT friendly 
TFTP server and a configuration tool to facilitate the task of generating device 
configuration files.   
  
The GAPSLite configuration tool is now free to end users. The tool and configuration 
templates can be downloaded from
