CONFIGURATION THROUGH CENTRAL PROVISIONING SERVER
The BT200 can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system. The configuration files
can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP from the central server. A service provider or an enterprise with
large deployment of BT200 can easily manage the configuration and service provisioning of individual
devices remotely from a central server.
When the BT200 boots up, it sends a 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 BT200.
Grandstream’s GAPS provisioning server is the default server for all Grandstream devices. Based on the
unique MAC address, Grandstream’s default GAPS server provisions the devices with re-direction
settings to point to a customer’s TFTP or HTTP server for further provisioning. This could be simple re-
direction or with special provisioning settings.
GAPSLITE - Grandstream Automated Provisioning System – supports the automated configuration of the
HT496. It is licensed-based software. GAPSLITE uses enhanced (NAT friendly) TFTP or HTTP and other
communication protocols to communicate with each individual BT200 for firmware upgrade, remote
reboot, etc. The GAPSLITE software package also has a configuration tool to generate device
configuration files.
