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/A580IP/FW_file.bin.

¤
Select 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.
Activating/deactivating the automatic version check
When the version check is activated, the phone checks on a daily basis whether
the Gigaset configuration server has a new version of the phone firmware/pro-
vider profile (general provider data).
If a new version is available, a notification is sent to the handset and the
Message key flashes. You can then perfom an automatic update of the
firmware (
) or carries out a provider data update.

Please note
If an error occurs during a firmware update from a local PC, the most recent
version of the firmware is automatically downloaded from the Internet.
Please note
If the telephone is not connected to the Internet 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 phone is reconnected to the Internet.
