Defining The Server For Firmware Updates, Starting The Update - Gigaset S540 IP User Manual

Defining the server for firmware
updates, starting the update
If necessary, you can load updates of the
base station firmware onto your phone.
You can either download the updates
directly from the Internet or from a PC in
your local network.
Using the Web configurator you can spec-
ify from where the firmware should be
loaded.
¤
Open the following Web page:
¢
Settings Miscellaneous.
Download the firmware update directly
from the Internet
The server on which Siemens makes new
firmware versions available for your base
station is set by default. The URL of the
Internet server is displayed in the
server field.
The firmware is loaded from the Internet
if you do not enter a local file in the
User defined firmware file
update.
Notes:
– 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.
– You should not change the URL for the
Internet server because this address is also
used to load provider information from the
Internet. If you have entered another URL,
you can re-activate the default URL by
restoring the base station default settings
(page 67).

Conducting the firmware update
locally
Precondition: A Web server is running on
the local PC (e.g. Apache).
¤
First, load the desired version of the
firmware from the Internet onto a local
PC.
¤
In the
User defined firmware file
enter the IP address of the PC in your
local network and the complete path
and name of the firmware file on the
PC. Example: 192.168.2.105/S450IP/
Firmware_Datei.bin.
¤
Click on Set to save the changes.
This setting is automatically used for the
subsequent firmware update. The Inter-
net server URL stays saved and is re-used
for further firmware updates. If you want
to use a local PC again for another update,
then you have to re-enter the IP address
and file name.
Notes:
– Updating via a PC in your LAN can make
sense if you want to download the same
version of the firmware again because of an
error or if you want to first test the firmware
for security reasons.
– 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.
