Configuring the system settings
Updating firmware automatically
Your base will check daily whether a newer
firmware version is available from the Inter-
net on the configuration server. If firmware
updates are available, the message New
firmware available. Update? is displayed in
the idle display of the base.
§Yes§ Press the display key to confirm
the prompt.
The firmware is loaded onto your base.
If you answer the prompt with §No§, the base
returns to idle status. Your base 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shown again if a newer version of the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. You can
also carry out the firmware update manually
(
¢ page 129).
You can deactivate the automatic version
check via the Web configurator.
Activating/deactivating the
DECT interface
If you deactivate the DECT interface, the
radio connection between the base and the
registered handsets is terminated. Handsets
are "asynchronous" to the base. They cannot
establish a connection with the base and no
calls are signalled. Handsets do remain regis-
tered to the base and will synchronise with
the base as soon as you reactivate the DECT
interface.

If there are no handsets registered to the
base, the base's DECT interface is automati-
cally deactivated.
If you switch the base to registration mode
(
¢ page 104) to reregister handsets, the
DECT interface is automatically reactivated.
Activating/deactivating the
FAX port
Prerequisite: Your base is connected to the .
You can connect a fax machine to the FAX
port on the telephone. To register the fax
machine to the base, you must activate the
FAX port.
The FAX port is deactivated by default.
When you activate the FAX port, it is
regarded as registered. The internal number
8 is assigned to it/the connected fax
machine. INT 8 is displayed in the list of
internal parties (even if there is not a fax
machine connected).

Please note
If the base is not connected to the Inter-
net at the time when the check for new
firmware is to be carried out (e.g.,
because the router is deactivated), the
check is carried out as soon as the base is
reconnected to the Internet.
