Grandstream phone dead - help me please

Grandstream are killed if they are downloading new software (maybe automatically if configured to do so) AND the connection is stopped duing the update.

I have a killed one myself :( No switches inside to reset to factory setting. I just had to waste some more money on a new device (another company this time!)

Sorry, not much help from my part then

nothing... the display is blue... and dead ...

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY DOWNLOAD ... and you say that we have not warranty, good to know, I hope soon to have a better phone to choose becouse this is a big delution.

The manual say something like (out of my head): "do not interrupt the firmware update as ...."

Maybe a warranty claim can be issued, I did not try to use it.

in may pack there was not the manual, and however I never seen the download, I just seen the phone highlight with a blue and stop, then was not possible to click or move something in the menu', buttons etc.. very strange

however, now I'm buying 2 new phones, where to keep updated the phone with the latest firmware and how to say to do not update automatically, and I repeat, I haven't seen this today, and he is dead in a strange way.

You can disable the update function by not having a "TFTP address" ie set it to 0.0.0.0 That is if you can get into the updatepage of the phone by browsing to its IP address and having the password for it.

You can then update a few times a year (put in the TFTP address), if you think you would gain anything doing this.

My dead phone reacts exactly as yours. Sounds as dead as mine.

ok, where can I find the manual of grandstream? and, if I put then the IP address, in ho may seconds decide the phone to make the upgrade? I still don't understand, becouse, I used the phone 2 days... and today happened all this.

bye and thanks

in the manual I have found in the website is not clear in how many seconds this update will start automatically.

That's all, have you got an idea how to do a safe upgrade? and where to read the upgrade benefits? the ring tones with the ring tone tools are interesting, how many ring tone have the grandstream becouse I had the time to use only the default ring...

thanks

Grandstream will always check its TFTP server to look for new updates. Only way to disable is to remove TFTP address. Safe update is best to do on a local network with own TFTP server, to make interruptions minimal, or else :(

My VoIP supplier had there own TFTP server, and toll users which version had which features. You still had to accept latest version or disable the feature. Grandstream has a firmware page on

Sorry for butting in but you seem to be missing the question, how often does the phone look for the server?

Very simple logic used

If TFTP server found, and a better version found on server, then download and install.

No delays, no trigger, nothing else

If you have your own TFTP server (like SolarWinds server

If it's the same as my Grandstream ATA-486 adaptor, it checks the TFTP server *only* on power-up. So you would need to cycle the power, if it finds a new edition of the firmware it will download and install it.

See above.

If I delete the ip server for the TFTP of Iconnecthere.com and then I download the firmware in that page, can I simply upload it from the configuration web page? Is it possible or I should do it via tftp adding the IP server?

And still I don't understand: if I add the Ip server where tftp when the phone will decide to download the firmware becouse this is not clear to me, if there is any command for initiate it, it when decide to do? after 24 hours? or what?

thank you
