    FIRMWARE VERSION 1.0.0.32 Updated : 11/2010 
SOFTWARE UPGRADE 
The GXV3175 can be upgraded via TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS by configuring the URL/IP Address for 
the TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS server and selecting a download method. To configure a valid URL for 
TFTP or HTTP, the server name can be the FQDN or IP address format. Examples of valid 
URLs: 
1. fw.ipvideotalk.com/gs 
2. 
72.172.83.110 
There are two ways to setup a software upgrade server: Via Menu or the Web Configuration 
Interface. 
UPGRADE VIA MENU 
In “Menu”->“System Settings”->“Maintenance”, users could configure the software upgrade server 
through the menu in the phone. In the “Upgrade” subpage, users may then select the upgrade 
mode and enter the IP address or FQDN of the Firmware server and the System Config server. 
After making the changes, press save to apply the new settings and reboot the device for 
upgrading. 
UPGRADE VIA WEB BROWSER CONFIGURATION PAGE 
Open a web browser and enter the IP address for the GXV3175. Next, log in with the 
administrator username and password. Under Maintenance, select “Upgrade and provisioning”, 
enter the IP address or the FQDN (URL) of the upgrade server and choose to upgrade via TFTP 
or HTTP/HTTPS. Save the changes and reboot the unit. 
At this moment, the LCD will display the progress of the software download/upgrade. Please do 
not disrupt or power down the unit. 
NOTE: The software upgrade will last up to 5 minutes (through the LAN side) and may take 
longer when upgrading through the Internet (limited by the network bandwidth). Grandstream 
recommends downloading and upgrading the software in a controlled LAN environment. 
NO LOCAL TFTP SERVERS 
For users without a local TFTP server, Grandstream offers a NAT-friendly TFTP server. This 
enables users to download the latest software upgrades for their phone via this server. Please 
refer to the webpage: 
http://www.grandstream.com/firmware.html. 
Alternatively, users can download a free TFTP or HTTP server and conduct a local firmware 
upgrade. A free windows version TFTP server is available for download from 
http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/New-customerFree.cfm or 
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/. 
Instructions for local firmware upgrade: 
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 GXV3175 device to the same LAN segment. 
3. Launch the TFTP server and go to the File menu -> 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 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.
