Firmware 1.1.5.15 Last Updated: 01/2008

Software Upgrade & Customization

Software (or firmware) upgrades are completed 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, select TFTP or HTTP upgrade method. “Upgrade Server” needs to be set

to a valid URL of a HTTP server. Server name can be in either FQDN or IP address format. Here are

examples of some valid URLs.

• firmware.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.1.5.15

• 168.75.215.189

There are two ways to set up the Upgrade Server to upgrade firmware: via Key Pad Menu and Web

Configuration Interface.

Key Pad Menu

Only TFTP would be used when configure the phone using key pad. To configure the Upgrade Server via

Key Pad Menu options, select “[6]tFtP” from the Main Menu, then press MENU button to enter this option.

Enter the 12-digit IP address. Then, press MENU button to save. Must reboot the phone to take effect.

Web Configuration Interface

To configure the Upgrade Server via the Web configuration interface, open the web browser. Enter the

BT200 IP address. Enter the admin password to access the web configuration interface. In the

ADVANCED SETTINGS page, enter the Upgrade Server’s IP address or FQDN in the “Firmware Server

Path” field. Select TFTP or HTTP upgrade method. Update the change by clicking the “Update” button.

“Reboot” or power cycle the phone to update the new firmware.

During this stage, the LCD will display the firmware file downloading process. If a firmware upgrade 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 phone will stop the upgrading process and re-boot using the

existing firmware/software.

Firmware upgrades take around 60 seconds in a controlled LAN or 5-10 minutes over the Internet.

Grandstream recommends completing firmware upgrades in a controlled LAN environment whenever

possible.

No Local TFTP Server

For users who do not have a local TFTP server, Grandstream provides a NAT-friendly TFTP server on

the public Internet for users to download the latest firmware upgrade automatically. Please check the

Support/Download section of our website to obtain this TFTP server IP address:

http://www.grandstream.com/firmware.html

Alternatively, download and install a free TFTP or HTTP server to the LAN to perform firmware upgrades.

A free Windows version TFTP server is available: http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/New-
