Grandstream do have their own Java based tool, but I've found it a bit of 
a hassle. There is another tool written in Perl to configure them via 
their web interface though - called gsutil.

I've added the things neccessary to support the later versions of software 
for the grandstreams - my versions at http://unicorn.drogon.net/gsutil

What I do is program one up manually, then get a dump via gsutil, then put 
that into all the others, then manually go through them, changing the 
username & passwords. One of these days I'll finish the automation to 
extract the usenrname & password out of my PBX, but ...
