Updating the phone firmware
The firmware update is downloaded directly from the Internet by default. The relevant web page
is preconfigured in your phone.
The phone is connected to the Internet (i.e. connected to a router).
The phone is in idle status i.e. no calls are being made, there is no internal connection
between registered handsets and the menu is not open on any handset.
Starting the firmware update manually

tion to the configuration server
The firmware update can take up to 6 minutes, depending on the quality of your DSL
connection.
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.
Updating firmware automatically
The phone will check daily whether a newer firmware version is available on the Internet
configuration server. If so, the message New firmware available is displayed on the handset.

Confirm prompt with Yes . . . the firmware is downloaded to the telephone
If you respond to the prompt with No, the handset returns to idle status. Your phone will no
longer remind you that firmware updates are available. The message will only be shown again if
a newer version of the firmware is available to download.
If the telephone is not connected to the Internet at the time when the check for new
firmware is due to be performed (e.g. because the router is deactivated), the check is
performed as soon as the phone is reconnected to the Internet.
You can deactivate the automatic version check via the Web configurator.
Checking the base station's MAC address
Depending on the network configuration, you may require the MAC address of the base station,
e.g. in order to enter it in the router's access control list.
Check the MAC address on the handset:
