5.3 Configuration through Central Provisioning Server

Grandstream BudgeTone 200 can be automatically configured from a central

provisioning system.

When BudgeTone 200 boots up, it will send 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 BudgeTone 200.

The configuration files can be downloaded via TFTP or HTTP from the central server. A

service provider or an enterprise with large deployment of BudgeTone 200 can easily

manage the configuration and service provisioning of individual devices remotely from a

central server.

Grandstream provides a licensed provisioning system called GAPS that can be used to

support automated configuration of BudgeTone 200. GAPS (Grandstream Automated

Provisioning System) uses enhanced (NAT friendly) TFTP or HTTP (thus no NAT

issues) and other communication protocols to communicate with each individual

BudgeTone 200 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

templates can be downloaded from

For details on how GAPS works, please refer to the documentation of GAPS product.
