automatic version check
When the version check is activated, the
phone checks on a daily basis whether the
Siemens configuration server is carrying a
new version of the phone firmware or of
the file with the general settings for your
VoIP provider.
If a new version is available, a notification
is sent to the handset and the message key
flashes. You can then carry out an auto-
matic update of the firmware (page 99) or
of the VoIP provider settings (page 100).
