Unfortunately, no way of configuring their router for dhcp option 66 as it is managed by third party… Manually entered fqdn of the FreePBX Server in the Grandstream 1615’s, 1630’s and 2160’s. After rebooting the phones a few times, the 2160’s and 1630’s were able to get their config file from the remote FreePBX Server using tftp.
The 1615’s for the most part do not get their config file. Not sure what log might show any info if it is an error in the configuring of EPM for these phone.
The configuration looks straight forward enough and I’ve read the guide to try to make sure errors are avoided.
Thinking I may have messed up the template for the GS 1615’s, deleted the template and started afresh. Mapped the 1615’s to the right extensions. Rebooted a few 1615’s but no luck. They don’t get their config and they obviously don’t show up in cli.
Disabled iptables just in case tftp was being blocked. Also tried http and https. Everything tried fails.
Perhaps someone has experienced this and can provide some help.
Thanks.
Thanks for the pointer Igaetz. Nothing from tfpd is showing in /var/log/messages but I will use EPG to try again to get phones to get their config and then see if anything shows up.
Now seeing some phones REQ files. However, some of the phone are not.
Installed several 1615’s that have MACs ending DA2 to DA9. Only DA5 and DA6 show up:

Not sure why anything is grabbing gxp1600fw.bin since we do not have any 1600 phones
What I am seeing in /var/log/messages is requests for config files but they don’t seem to be sent:

The file is present:

This file is NOT present:
tftpboot]# ls cfg000b82a9695b.xml
ls: cannot access cfg000b82a9695b.xml: No such file or directory
It doesn’t look like the file is getting sent, which can mean lots of things, from the TFTP port not being open to TFTP not being enabled. Turn on logging and make sure that TFTP is configured to run. Also, in the xinetd.conf (there are other places as well) there is a setting that limits the number of file requests per minute. Make sure you aren’t exceeding that - logging should help you with that as well.
Hi Dave,
I am turning on one phone at a time. Can’t see how that would cause tftp to fail.
Just tried another phone, Upgraded firmware by pointing the phone to firmware.grandstream.com, now the phone is at latest firmware.
Rebooted phone from phone GUI,
Watching /var/log/messages again all that is displayed is:
