Configuration Questions
Submitted by istamm on Wed, 12/17/2008 - 6:26am.
Hello, I have a few questions.
1.) What is the best way to add a lot of extensions to the system? For example, say I have 100 users (extensions) to add to the system. They will all have the same basic configuration other than the extension being different. Is there an easy way to do this or do I need to add them one at a time?
2.) Has anyone had any luck auto provisioning Grandstream HT502's? If so how did you accomplish this?
Thanks.

Re: question 2
I don't know if you have figured this out yet, but I was wondering the same thing for the past few days. I found a nice deal on a bunch of HT-502's and wanted to use the endpoint manager to configure them. It was actually a bit easier than I thought.
I am using 2.6.2.2
First, open /var/www/html/maint/modules/endpointcfg/endpoint_grandstream.php with your favorite editor (eg 'nano -w /var/www/html/maint/modules/endpointcfg/endpoint_grandstream.php'). Find the "phone_types" array on line 21, and add 'HT502' => 'HT502' to the array. Save and exit.
Download this: http://www.grandstream.com/GAPSLITE/config-template.zip (wget http://www.grandstream.com/GAPSLITE/config-template.zip) then extract the templates to wherever you would like. Edit the ht502_config_1.0.1.21.txt file to suit your needs, leaving out the individual line account information. Save the modified file as /tftpboot/Grandstream_HT502_Default.txt. Please note that I ran into a problem using + signs in the dial plan, so I had to use %2B in its place. For example { *x%2B | x%2B }.
Next time you enter the grandstream endpoint configuration page, you can select HT-502 from the selection list. I haven't experimented with the mulitpurpose key fields as the ata doesn't have any.
Hope this helps someone.
