Grandstream SIP Device can be configured via Web Interface as well as via Configuration File through 
TFTP or HTTP. “Config Server Path” is the TFTP or HTTP 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 LAN 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 firmware 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 set to “Yes”, 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”, the Service Provider can use P193 (Auto Check Interval, in 
minutes, default and minimum is 60 minutes) to have the devices periodically check with either Firmware 
Server or Config Server, however they are defined.  This allows the device to periodically check if there 
are any new changes need to be taken on a scheduled time. By defining different intervals in P193 for 
different devices, the Server Provider can spread the Firmware or Configuration File download in minutes 
to reduce the Firmware or Provisioning Server load at any given time.
