5.3 Configuration through Central Provisioning Server
Grandstream GXV-3000 can be automatically configured from a central provisioning system.
When GXV-3000 boots up, it will send TFTP or HTTP request to download configuration file which is
“cfg000b82xxxxxx”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the MAC address of the GXV-3000.
The configuration file can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP from the central server. A service pro-
vider or an enterprise with large deployment of GXV-3000 can easily manage the configuration and
service provisioned for individual device from a central server remotely.
Grandstream provides a licensed provisioning system called GAPS that can be used to support auto-
mated configuration of GXV-3000. GAPS (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System) uses en-
hanced (NAT friendly) TFTP or HTTP (thus no NAT issues) and other communication protocols to
communicate with each individual GXV-3000 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 set-
tings so that they will be redirected to customer’s TFTP or HTTP server for further provisioning.
Grandstream also provides 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 http://www.grandstream.com/DOWNLOAD/Configuration_Tool/.
For details on how GAPS works, please refer to the documentation of GAPS product or contact Grand-
stream Sales Department for more information.
