CONFIGURATION THROUGH A CENTRAL SERVER
Grandstream HandyTone ATAs can be configured automatically from a central provisioning system.
When HandyTone ATA boot up, it will send TFTP or HTTP request to download configuration file,
“cfg000b82xxxxxx”, where “000b82xxxxxx” is the MAC address of the HandyTone ATA.
The configuration files can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP from the central server. A service provider
or an enterprise with large deployment of HandyTone ATA can easily manage the configuration and
service provisioning of individual devices remotely from a central server.
Grandstream provides a licensed provisioning system called GAPSLITE that supports automated
configuration of HandyTone ATA. GAPSLITE (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System) uses
enhanced (NAT friendly) TFTP or HTTP (thus no NAT issues) and other communication protocols to
communicate with each individual HandyTone ATA 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 settings so that
they will be redirected to customer’s TFTP or HTTP server for further provisioning. Grandstream also
provide 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 template are
available for download from
