Updating the base firmware

Whenever there are new or improved functions for your Gigaset base, firmware

updates are made available on the Internet for you to download directly (without a

PC) to your base.

You need a router to connect the base to the Internet, which is connected via a

modem (may be integrated in the router) to the Internet, and an Ethernet cable

(Cat 5 with 2 RJ45 Western modular plugs).

Connecting the base to the router/Internet (optional)

Your base has a LAN connection that you can use to connect the base to a router.

Connecting the base to the local network (router)

For this, your base requires an IP address in the local network. The base is usually

assigned this address automatically by the router (dynamic assignment).

In exceptional cases, the automatic IP address assignment (DHCP) is switched off on

the router. In such cases, you will need to assign an IP address to the base manually

(static assignment).

¤ In the Settings (¢page 24) menu, touch [ Ê System] and then ’ next to

Local Network.

¤ Touch Static and fill in the following fields. The meaning of

these fields can be found in the user guide for your router.

Please note

New versions of the handset firmware can be loaded onto your handset using

the "Gigaset QuickSync" program for your PC (

¢ page 92).

¤ Connect one Ethernet cable plug into the LAN

socket at the side of the base .

¤ Insert the second Ethernet cable plug into a

LAN socket on the router .
