Downloading 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
field.
server
The firmware is loaded from the Internet if
you do not enter a local file in the
defined firmware file field before this
update.
Please note:
– 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 84).
Conducting the firmware update
locally

the local PC (e.g. Apache).

First, load the desired version of the
firmware from the Internet onto a local
PC.

local network and the complete path
and name of the firmware file on the
PC. Example: 192.168.2.105/S675IP/
FW_file.bin.

Click 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.
Please note:
If an error arises during a firmware update
from a local PC, the most recent version of the
firmware is automatically downloaded from
