How does this effect the EPM?

I would assume when EPM does a network scan, it assigns the Brand from the OUI?

That could be possible. Not really sure since it is closed source code.

You don’t have to worry about this because Grandstream is one of those companies that pays the yearly fee to Sangoma to have their phones (at least, their newer ones) fully supported by EPM. Since they are (obviously) only going to use this new OUI with their new phones, and they (obviously) only are paying the certification fee for their new phones (since the entire reason for getting a phone model certified is to entice someone to buy it) this is a complete non-issue.
