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 (

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.
Firmware update from local firmware file
In extraordinary circumstances you may receive, for example, a firmware file
from Service that you can upload from your PC to your telephone (e.g. because
the firmware update via the Internet did not work).
Prerequisite: A Web server is running on the local PC (e.g. Apache).
¤ First load the firmware file onto your PC.
¤ In the
User defined firmware file field enter the IP address of the PC in your local
network and the complete path and name of the firmware file on the PC
(maximum 74 characters).
Example: 192.168.2.105/S670IP/FW_Datei.bin.
¤ Select
Set to save the changes.
¤ Click the Update Firmware button to start the update.
This setting is automatically used for this particular firmware update. The URL
in the
Data server field is saved and used again for subsequent firmware
updates. You will have to re-enter the IP address and file name to carry out
another update with a firmware file on your local PC.
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 (£
