My preferred method is to use my own TFTP server. This makes changes to accounts/phones very fast and easy. The whole process takes me about 5 minutes to deploy an entirely new phone.
1) I modified the Grandstream template to contain my own information. This is a simple TXT document and can be edited in your favorite editor. I once counted that I am down to 8 lines in my template that need adjusting for a new user. 2) I open the above mentioned template and change the appropriate lines for the users phone and then save it to a directory utilizing a naming convention of EXTENSION-USERNAME.txt (this allows me ease of changing if ever required). 3) Then I use the Grandstream config generator to compile that into a bin file in the appropriate tftp directory. 4) Then (first time phone is ever used, not required on a redeploy) I log into the web interface on the phone and change 1 line that tells the phone where to find the config file. 5) Reboot the phone and all done. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Ruggles Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 11:41 AM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: [asterisk-users] Provisioning GXP 2000 I've done some googling and searched voip-info but I'm not able to find a good answer about how to provision the GXP 2000. Based on questions I've asked before it seems like a lot of people are using the grandstream phones so I figure provisioning can't be that hard. Is everyone using the web interface for *every* phone? Or is there a better, more automatic, way? TIA!!! Thanks, David Ruggles CCNA MCSE (NT) CNA A+ Network Engineer Safe Data, Inc.
