TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS
To upgrade via TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS, the “Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning upgrade via” field needs
to be set to TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS, respectively. “Firmware Server Path” needs to be set to a valid URL
of a TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS server, server name can be in either FQDN or IP address format. Here are
examples of some valid URL.
firmware.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.1.8

• TFTP server in IP address format can be configured via IVR. Please refer to section

• Grandstream recommends end-user use the Grandstream TFTP server. Its address can be found
at

. Currently the TFTP firmware server IP address is
168.75.215.189. For large companies, we recommend to maintain their own TFTP/
HTTP/HTTPS server for upgrade and provisioning procedures.
HTTP/HTTPS server for upgrade and provisioning procedures.
• Once a “Firmware Server Path” is set, user needs to update the settings and reboot the device. If
the configured firmware server is found and a new code image is available, the GXW400x will
attempt to retrieve the new image files by downloading them into the GXW400x ’s SRAM. During
this stage, the GXW400x’s LEDs will blink until the checking/downloading process is completed.
Upon verification of checksum, the new code image will then be saved into the Flash. If
TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS fails for any reason (e.g. TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS server is not responding, there
are no code image files available for upgrade, or checksum test fails, etc), the GXW400x will stop
the TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.

• Firmware upgrade may take as long as 15 to 30 minutes over Internet, or just 5 minutes if it is
performed on a LAN. It is recommended to conduct firmware upgrade in a controlled LAN
environment if possible. For users who do not have a local firmware upgrade server,
Grandstream provides a NAT-friendly TFTP server on the public Internet for firmware upgrade.

Instructions to Upgrade using Local (TFTP) Server
1. Unzip the file and put all of them under the root directory of the TFTP server.
2. Put the PC running the TFTP server and the GXW400x device in the same LAN segment.
3. Please go to File -> Configure -> Security to change the TFTP server's default setting from
