asterisk users - May 2004 - Grandstream tftp cfg.txt format

Hello!

I've been reading through the archives on this list for the last 8-10 
months.  There are some reports on success with tftp autoconfiguration 
with a given cfg.txt format but really vague.  Has anybody successfully 
done this without using GAPS, or has anybody got a correctly formatted 
cfg.txt file that works (from GAPS).  I would be happy to write a script 
  or a java program that creates such a file, but I need the format to 
do that.

Regards,

Maron Kristofersson

I suspect that the txt version of the cfg file is used as input to GAPS, 
not input to the phone.  What we really need is a handful of working cfg 
files that have already been compiled by GAPS into the loadable binary 
format that the phone probably wants. If each file had only one item 
changed, and were accompanied by a detailed description of the 
corresponding phone setup, then the file format could be decoded, of 
course, providing that the file format is not encrypted (I doubt this, 
however). The problem will be getting the required files. GS asked me to 
sign an NDA before they would even consider letting me experiment with 
their GAPS system. I suspect that everyone else has had to do the same.
