Grandstream provides a central provisioning system GAPS (Grandstream Automated Provisioning System)
to support automated configuration of Grandstream devices. GAPS uses enhanced (NAT friendly) TFTP
or HTTP (thus no NAT issues) and other communication protocols to communicate with each individual
Grandstream device for firmware upgrade, remote reboot, etc.
Grandstream provides GAPS service to VoIP service providers. GAPS can be used for either simple
redirection or with certain special provisioning settings. At boot-up, Grandstream devices by default point
to the Grandstream provisioning server (GAPS). Based on the unique MAC address of each device, GAPS
will provision the devices with redirection settings so that they will be redirected to customer’s TFTP or
HTTP server for further provisioning.
Grandstream also provides configuration tools (Windows and Linux/Unix version) to facilitate the task of
generating device configuration files. The Grandstream configuration tools are free to end users. The
configuration tools and configuration templates are available for download from
