Figure 32: Installing Firmware
Step 5: Wait until the upgrading is done. The GXV34X0 will reboot itself. Go to Settings ->Status->System Info to check the
firmware current version.
No Local Firmware Servers
Service providers should maintain their own firmware upgrade servers. For users who do not have a TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS server,
some free Windows version TFTP servers are available for download from:
https://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/free-tftp-server
and
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/.
Please check our web site at https://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware for latest firmware.
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 GXV34x0 device to the same LAN segment;
3.
Launch the TFTP server and go to the File menuConfigureSecurity 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 GXV34x0.
End users can also choose to download a free HTTP server from https://httpd.apache.org/ or use Microsoft IIS web server.
Provisioning and Configuration File Download
Grandstream SIP Devices can be configured via the Web Interface as well as via a Configuration File (binary or XML) through
TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS. The “Config Server Path” is the TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS server path for the configuration file. It needs to be
set to a valid URL, either in FQDN or IP address format. The “Config Server Path” can be the same or different from the
“Firmware Server Path”.
A configuration parameter is associated with each particular field in the web configuration page. A parameter consists of a
Capital letter P and 2 to 3 (Could be extended to 4 in the future) digit numeric numbers. i.e., P2 is associated with the “Admin
Password” in the Web GUISystem SettingsSecurity SettingsUser Info Management page. For a detailed parameter
list, please refer to the corresponding firmware release configuration template in the following link:
https://www.grandstream.com/support/tools
When the GXV34x0 boots up, it will issue TFTP or HTTP request to download a configuration XML file named
“cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx” followed by “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml”, where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the MAC address of the phone, i.e.,
“cfg000b820102ab” and “cfg000b820102ab.xml”. If downloading “cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml” file is not successful, the provision
program will download a model specific file “cfggxv34x0.xml” then a generic cfg.xml file. The configuration file name should
be in lower case letters.
