Defining the server for firmware updates, starting the update
If necessary you can download updates for the phone firmware to your base station. You
can either download the updates directly from the Internet or from a PC in your local net-
work.
Using the Web configurator you can specify from where the firmware should be loaded.

Open the following Web page:

Downloading the firmware update directly from the Internet
The server on which Siemens 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.
The firmware is loaded from the Internet if you do not enter a local file in the
User defined
firmware file
field before this update.
Conducting the firmware update locally
Precondition
: A Web server is running on the local PC (e.g. Apache).
¤
First, load the desired version of the firmware from the Internet onto a local PC. Store
the firmware file in the Web server's file directory.
¤
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 within the Web server directory.
Example: 192.168.2.105/S450IP/Firmware_File.bin.

Click
Set
to save the changes.
This setting is automatically used for the
subsequent
firmware update. The Internet server
URL stays saved and is re-used for further firmware updates. If you want to use a local PC
again for another update, then you have to re-enter the IP address and file name.
Please note:
The base station router's firmware is not updated during this firmware update. For the firmware
update for the base station router see page 82.
Please note:
– 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.
– You should not change the URL for the Internet server because this address is also used to load
provider information from the Internet. If you have entered another URL, you can re-activate the
default URL by restoring the base station default settings (page 56).
Please note:
If an error arises during a firmware update from a local PC, the most recent version of the firmware is
automatically downloaded from the Internet.
