hello guys, anyone using that model ? if yes, how do u do auto-provisioning ? ... I managed the phone to get the config file during boot (via dhcp option 43) but it is not applying it ... any hint ?
i'm using ht503 ata but the auto-provisioning should be the same. u need the ff: 1. GS configuration tool 2. configuration template 3. TFTP/HTTP server general steps: 1. get a copy of the raw config text file and modify the settings 2. run the GS java program to create the cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx where the xxxxxxxxxxxx is the MAC address of the IP phone 3. place this file on the TFTP/HTTP server 4. set the IP address of the configuration server in the IP phone via keypad 5. reboot it hope it helps.

Hello Nandy, this is exactly what i did i mean .. quite close... i configured the DHCP server to pass the address of the http server to the phone via DHCP Option 43 (vendor-specific) by tunneling option 66 within option 43. With wireshark, i can see the phone gets the config file from the specified server/path but for some reason it doesn't applay it. do i need to configure something special on that template ? I've changed sip server/accounts settings and some other things but it doesn't seem to be working. I got the template from http://www.grandstream.com/support/configurationtool.html do i need to encode it in a certan way before putting it to a http server?

A quick Google took me here: http://www.grandstream.com/BETATEST/HT488_496_386/ On the other hand, trying to get proper information as to how to securely remotely provision Linksys phones is a task for Hercules; Grandstream just make the tools available to all. --Dave

Quite amazing: I can ensure you that before the beginning of february 2010, not any info was available from them (I spent a whole week seeking and trying to ask gs people - still no answer.) And my Linksys example was just to make a parallel in service matter. But I'm not stubborn: I can reconsider (AFA this firmware is working correctly, which wasn't the case for a bunch of them.) At this time, the least critics I heard about IP phones was about SNOM (if some people could confirm that, it would be good:) -- "Never make any mistaeks." (Anonymous, in a mail discussion about to a kernel bug report.)

Last had the pleasure of using one maybe two or three years ago - its number auto-completion feature drove me nuts (dial 2002 to call someone internally and, if you'd previously dialled 02072002123, it'd dial that instead); I've no doubt you can turn it off, but I just returned to my simple Grandstream. --Dave

I see that this kind of appliance's the same as others: m$ malpractices, such as taking users for alpha-testers, has spread a lot :( -- All men have the right to wait in line.
hello, thanks for your feedback... indeed, i need to encode the config file with grandstream config tool and the phone will "understands" it :) T. On Sun, Mar 28, 2010 at 2:11 AM, Jean-Yves F. Barbier <12ukwn@gmail.com>wrote:

do u mean, you just placed the edited configuration (text file) on the http server? no, you need to install the Configuration Tool program. the program needs the ff parameters: 1. MAC address 2. template text file it should produce a binary cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx file. this is the one u must place in your server. btw, i'm not familiar w/ DHCP Option 43. so, i use the keypad to point the IP phone to the config server. :-) -nandy On Sun, Mar 28, 2010 at 1:20 AM, Tihomir Culjaga <tculjaga@gmail.com> wrote:
