8) Under the Update Base Stations section, select Update this BaseStation only to update

only the base station you are currently connected to. To update all base stations at the

same time, select Update all BaseStations.

9) Enter the last 3 digits of the firmware filename in the Required version field. The

required version identifies the firmware file containing the update; for example, if you

want to update the base station to the firmware file BeatusSW_4181_v0127.fwu, enter

127 in the Required version field.

10) Click Start update. When the base station asks you to confirm, click OK.

∘ The base station firmware download will start. (You can check the download

progress in the relevant log of your TFTP Server application.) The base

station configuration interface will be temporarily unavailable when the base

station(s) reboot at the end of the download. The overall update for a base

station takes several minutes.

∘ To verify the firmware update, go to the Home/Status screen and check the

Firmware-Version field. The field shows the current firmware version in the

format IPDECT/{Required FW version}/{date of FW file}, so in this example,

the field should read IPDECT/01.27 followed by the date the file was

created.

of channels available for simultaneous call. Be sure to perform this update

outside of normal business hours.

To finalize a firmware update, each handset must be placed in its charger. Be

sure your end users return the handsets to the chargers before an update

Before starting an update, ensure that the TFTP Server is running.

• Each base station uses the DECT RF channels to download new firmware files to its

handsets, and it can only update handsets that are registered to it.

• Each update session takes approximately 3 hours, and the base station will complete a

session before starting a new one.

• A base station in a single cell system can update 10 handsets in a single session

(because there are 10 available RF channels), so Handsets 1 through 10 are updated

in session 1, Handsets 11 through 20 are updated in the second session, etc.

• In a multi-cell system, each base station can update 8 handsets in a session, but all

base stations can perform update sessions at the same time. If you distribute the
