Firmware upgrade may take as long as 15 to 30 minutes over Internet, or just 5 minutes if it is
performed on a LAN. It is recommended to conduct firmware upgrade in a controlled LAN
environment if possible. For users who do not have a local firmware upgrade server, Grandstream
provides a NAT-friendly TFTP server on the public Internet for firmware upgrade.
Grandstream’s latest firmware is available at http://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware .
Oversea users are strongly recommended to download the binary files and upgrade firmware
locally in a controlled LAN environment.
Note: Alternatively, the user can upload the firmware single file from his/her computer using a local
directory. For more instructions see below. Also the user can download a free TFTP or HTTP server and
conduct local firmware upgrade. A free windows version TFTP server is available for download from
http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/New-customerFree.cfm. Our latest official release can be
downloaded from http://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware .
Instructions for local firmware upgrade:
1. Unzip the file and put all of them under the root directory of the TFTP server.
2. Put the PC running the TFTP server and the HT70X device in the same LAN segment.
3. Please go to File -> 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, in the phone’s web configuration page
5. Configure the Firmware Server Path with the IP address of the PC
6. Update the change and reboot the unit
End users can also choose to download the free HTTP server from http://httpd.apache.org/ or use Microsoft
IIS web server.
