The Grandstream BudgeTone 100 VOIP and GX2000 telephones are telephones that do VOIP, from a company called Grandstream.
The company's java configuration tool (which creates tftp files) is available at http://www.grandstream.com/y-configurationtool.htm; the company's firmware download page is at http://grandstream.com/y-firmware.htm
GsUtil is a short program I wrote to dump and restore the data from these phones. Since a reboot is required to make the configuration change effective, this program does that too.
It's written in Perl, tested on Fedora Core 4, and provided as tarball and rpm files. Only perl and perl-libwww-perl were used, and they came with the operating system, so you probably won't have to download any perl modules.
Version 1.x was done for the 1.0.5.11 firmware, and
Version 2.x is for the current 1.1.0.16 firmware on the GXP2000,
and 1.0.8.23 on the BT-101.
Version 3.x is for the same firmware, but it's been rewritten
almost from scratch: cut-and-paste helped.

- Examples
-
gsutil -d 10.10.13.5 > phone1.conf - dump configuration gsutil -do 10.10.13.5 > phone1.conf - dump in GS compatible style gsutil -r 10.10.13.5 < phone1.conf - restore configuration gsutil -b 10.10.13.5 - reboot phone and wait for it gsutil -bn 10.10.13.5 - reboot phone and don't wait gsutil -e 10.10.13.5 - show firmware version number
gsutil -deboner -p admin 10.10.13.5 < new.conf > old.conf
- everything at once
gsutil -d 10.10.13.2 10.10.13.3 10.10.13.4 > out.conf - dump phones gsutil -r 10.10.13.2 10.10.13.3 10.10.13.4 < in.conf - restore phones gsutil -bn 10.10.13.2 10.10.13.3 10.10.13.4 - boot phones
More than one phone can be specified at once; the configurations are appended when dumping, and separated when restoring.
The default password for gsutil is the default password for the phones: 'admin'.
Only the settings listed in the input file will be changed on the phone. This allows you to change a single setting on all of your phones at once without having to download, edit and upload each phone's settings. Make a configuration file containing only the parameter to change, and use that as input:
gsutil -rbn 10.10.13.2 < input
gsutil -rbn 10.10.13.3 < input
Note: if restoring multiple phones at once, the command line ip addresses should be in the same order as they were when they were dumped, or else the configurations will go to different phones. This may be desirable, or it might upset your users when their phone number and voicemail get assigned to someone else's phone. You have been warned... :-)
