Starting a firmware update
If necessary, you can load updates of the base station firmware onto your
phone.
The server on which Gigaset Communications makes new firmware versions
available for your base station is set by default. The URL of the Internet server
is displayed in the
Data server field.
Only change this URL when requested by Customer Care. This address is
also used to load provider information from the Internet. Make sure you write
down the default URL exactly before changing it. Otherwise, you will only be
able to reactivate the default URL by resetting the base station back to the
default settings (

Page 85).
Prerequisites:
u No calls are being made via the fixed line network or VoIP.
u There is no internal connection between registered handsets or to GHC
devices.
u The base station menu is not open in any of the handsets.
¤ Open the following Web page:
Settings ¢ Miscellaneous.
¤ Select the Update Firmware button.
The firmware is updated. This process can take up to three minutes.

tions, £
Page 145.
Please note
u 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.
u The firmware is only loaded from the Internet if you have not entered a
local file in the
User defined firmware file field prior to the update.
Please note
You can also start the firmware update on the handset (£
