Firmware Upgrade

6.1 Upgrade through HTTP

To upgrade software, GXP-2000 can be configured with an HTTP server where the new code image
file is located. For example, following URL in the HTTP Upgrade Server:
http://firmware.mycompany.com:6688/Grandstream/1.0.0.4
Where firmware.mycompany.com is the FQDN of the HTTP server,":6688" is the TCP port the HTTP
server listening to, "/Grandstream/1.0.0.4" is the RELATIVE directory to the root dir in HTTP server.
Thus, you can put different firmware into different directory as well.
Note: If "Auto Upgrade" field is set to "No", HTTP upgrade will be performed only once during boot
up. If it is set to "Yes", the device will check the HTTP server in the number of days that is defined in
"Check for new firmware every" field.

6.2 Upgrade through TFTP

To upgrade software, GXP-2000 can be configured with a TFTP server where the new code image is
located. The TFTP upgrade can work in either static IP or DHCP mode using private or public IP
address. It is recommended to set the TFTP server address in either a public IP address or on the same
LAN with the GXP-2000.
There are two ways to set up the TFTP server to upgrade the firmware, namely through voice menu
prompt or via the GXP-2000's Web configuration interface. To configure the TFTP server via voice
prompt, follow section 5.1 with option 06, once set up the TFTP IP address, power cycle the device,
the firmware will be fetched once the device boots up.
To configure the TFTP server via the Web configuration interface, open up your browser to point at
the IP address of the GXP-2000. Input the admin password to enter the configuration screen. From
there, enter the TFTP server address in the designated field towards the bottom of the configuration
screen.
Once the TFTP server is configured, power cycle the GXP-2000.
TFTP checking is only performed during the initial power up. If the configured TFTP server is found
and a new code image is available, the GXP-2000 will attempt to retrieve the new image files by
downloading them into the GXP-2000's SRAM. During this stage, the GXP-2000's LEDs will blink
until the checking/downloading process is completed. Upon verification of checksum, the new code
image will then be saved into the Flash. If TFTP fails for any reason (e.g., TFTP server is not
responding, there are no code image files available for upgrade, or checksum test fails, etc), the GXP-
2000 will stop the TFTP process and simply boot using the existing code image in the flash.
