Updating the base station firmware

If necessary, you can update your base station firmware.

The firmware update is downloaded directly from the Internet by default. The relevant website is preconfigured in your phone.

As an alternative to uploading the firmware via the Internet, it can also be loaded from a local PC. You can specify the PC via the Web configurator (page 92). This setting applies only to the following firmware update.

Precondition:

The base station is in idle status, i.e.:

uNo calls are being made via the fixed network or VoIP.

uThere is no internal connection between the registered handsets.

uNo other handset has opened the base station menu.

Please note:

–The firmware update can last up to 3 min- utes.

–When updating from the Internet, checks are made to ensure that no newer version of the firmware exists. If this is not the case, the operation is terminated and a message is issued to that effect.

–If an error arises during a firmware update from a local PC, the most recent version of the firmware is automatically downloaded from the Internet. Your phone should therefore be connected to the Internet dur- ing every firmware update.
