Manually Configure Auto Provisioning On Grandstream IP Phones

TL;DR

To manually configure auto provisioning on Grandstream IP phones, you need to enter the provisioning URL if the phone was not purchased through VentureTel or its partners. This is done by logging into the phone's web interface, going to Maintenance and then Upgrade and Provisioning, and entering the Config Server Path and Config File Postfix. The Config Server Path is p.venturetel.co/kazoo-provision/prov/grandstream and the Config File Postfix includes a password found in the VentureTel portal. After saving and applying changes, the phone will auto provision after a reboot or by selecting Provision from the top of the screen.

Phones that are purchased through VentureTel are pre-configured to connect to our provisioning system so when plugged in and connected to the internet they will pull down the appropriate configuration for their MAC address.

If however, the phone was not purchased through VentureTel or our partners, then you will need to manually configure the provisioning URL.

To do this :

Login to the phone by entering the IP address of the phone in your web browser.
Go to Maintenance -> Upgrade and Provisioning
Enter the Config Server Path:
- p.venturetel.co/kazoo-provision/prov/grandstream
Enter the Config File Postfix:
- ?pass=complexpass
- (where ' complexpass ' is the password - this password can be found in your VentureTel portal).

Once you've saved and applied your changes and created the device in your venturetel portal with it's associated MAC address, either reboot your phone or select Provision from the top of the screen and your phone will reboot and auto provision.
