completing firmware upgrades in a controlled LAN environment whenever possible.
No Local TFTP/FTP/HTTP Servers
For users that would like to use remote upgrading without a local TFTP/FTP/HTTP server, Grandstream offers a NAT-friendly
HTTP server. This enables users to download the latest software upgrades for their phones via this server. Please refer to the
webpage:
https://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware
Alternatively, users can download a free TFTP, FTP, or HTTP server and conduct a local firmware upgrade. A free window
version TFTP server is available for download from:

http://tftpd32.jounin.net/.
Instructions for local firmware upgrade via TFTP:
1. Unzip the firmware files and put all of them in the root directory of the TFTP server.
2. Connect the PC running the TFTP server and the phone to the same LAN segment.
3. Launch the TFTP server and go to the File menu🡪Configure🡪Security to change the TFTP server’s default setting from
“Receive Only” to “Transmit Only” for the firmware upgrade.
4. Start the TFTP server and configure the TFTP server in the phone’s web configuration interface.
5. Configure the Firmware Server Path to the IP address of the PC.
6. Update the changes and reboot the phone.
End users can also choose to download a free HTTP server from http://httpd.apache.org/ or use
Microsoft IIS web server.
