Firmware 1.0.0.77 Last Updated: 1/2008
SOFTWARE UPGRADE
Software upgrade can be done via either TFTP or HTTP. The corresponding configuration settings are in
the ADVANCED SETTINGS configuration page.
Firmware Upgrade through TFTP/HTTP
To upgrade via TFTP or HTTP, the “Firmware Upgrade and Provisioning upgrade via” field needs to be set
to TFTP or HTTP, respectively. “Firmware Server Path” needs to be set to a valid URL of a TFTP or HTTP
server, server name can be in either FQDN or IP address format. Here are examples of some valid URL.
e.g. firmware.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.0.67
e.g. 168.75.215.189
NOTES:
• You can configure the TFTP server in IP address format via IVR. Please refer the
CONFIGURATION section for instructions. If the TFTP server is in FQDN format, it must be set
via web configuration interface.
• Please use our TFTP server located at http://www.grandstream.com/firmware.html
. Using the
TFTP server, your HT502 can be upgraded from the IP address 168.75.215.189
. For large
companies, we recommend that you maintain your own TFTP/ HTTP server for upgrade and
provisioning procedures.
• Once a “Firmware Server Path” is set, the 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 HT ATA will
attempt to retrieve the new image files by downloading them into the HT502’s SRAM. During this
stage, the HT502’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 fails
for any reason (e.g., TFTP/HTTP server is not responding, there are no code image files available
for upgrade, or checksum test fails, etc), the HT502 will stop the TFTP/HTTP process and simply
boot using the existing code image in the flash.
• Firmware upgrade may take as long as 1 to 20 minutes over Internet, or just 20+ seconds 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. Please check the
Services section of Grandstream’s Web site to obtain our public TFTP server’s IP address.
• Alternatively, user can download a free TFTP or HTTP server and conduct local firmware upgrade.
A free windows version TFTP server is available for download from

. Our latest official release is located
