Updating the base station
firmware
If necessary, you can update your base sta-
tion 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 66).
This setting applies only to the next
firmware update.
Precondition:
The base station is in idle status, i.e.:
u
No calls are being made via the fixed
network or VoIP.
u
There is no connection between regis-
tered handsets or to GHC devices.
u

the firmware update.
Please note:
– A firmware update can last up to 3 minutes.
During the update, the handset loses the
connection to the base station. When the
update has been successfully completed,
the handset re-establishes the connection
to the base station.
– If the update is carried out from the Inter-
net, a check is made to ensure that there is
not a more recent version of the firmware
available. If this is not the case, the opera-
tion is terminated and a message is issued
to that effect.
– If an error occurs while firmware is being
updated from a local PC, the most recent
version of the firmware is automatically
downloaded from the Internet.
Automatic firmware update
Your phone will check daily whether a
newer firmware update is available via the
Internet on the Siemens configuration
server. If this is the case, when the hand-
set is in idle status, the message

message key f flashes.

than the one rejected is available.

check via the Web configurator (page 67).
