Performing the Update

Once you have loaded new firmware on your computer and

unpacked it (by double-clicking), proceed as follows:

1. Start the configuration software by selecting “Start /

(All) Programs / AVM / FRITZ!X”.

2. Select the “Update” settings page in FRITZ!X.

3. In the text field, enter the path to the location where

you have saved the update file locally. This entry can

also be selected using the “Browse ...” button. The file

ends with the suffix “.dat”. If you clicked “Browse...”,

the lower window will report whether the selected file is

a valid update file, and, if so, which version it contains.

If the update file is a later version than the currently

active firmware, it is recommended that you install the

update.

4. Then click the “Update” button to perform the update.

A warning message appears. If you are sure you want to

perform the firmware update, confirm the message. If

the update version is older or as old as the version

installed on your computer, you will also be prompted

to confirm that the update should be performed.

Do not disconnect FRITZ!X USB from the computer during

a firmware update, and do not unplug the FRITZ!X USB

power cord! If the firmware update is interrupted, your

FRITZ!X USB may become unusable! In that case, repeat

the update procedure.

A message indicates that the update has been completed

successfully. The PBX is then reset and its new version

number is displayed.
