Updating firmware automatically
Your base will check daily whether a newer
firmware version is available from the Inter-
net on the configuration server. If firmware
updates are available, the message
New
firmware available. Update?
is displayed in
the idle display of the base.
§Yes§
Press the display key to confirm
the prompt.
The firmware is loaded onto your base.
If you answer the prompt with
§No§
, the base
returns to idle status. Your base will no
longer remind you that firmware updates
are available. The message will only be
shown again if a newer version of the
firmware is available to download. You can
also carry out the firmware update manually
.
You can deactivate the automatic version
check via the Web configurator.
Activating repeater support
You can increase the range and signal
strength of your base using a repeater. You
will need to activate repeater mode. This will
terminate any calls that are in progress at the
time.
Prerequisite:
Eco mode(+) is deactivated.

Activating/deactivating the
DECT interface
If you deactivate the DECT interface, the
radio connection between the base and the
registered handsets/repeaters is terminated.
Handsets/repeaters are "asynchronous" to
the base. They cannot establish a connec-
tion with the base and no calls are signalled.
Handsets/repeaters do remain registered to
the base and will synchronise with the base
as soon as you reactivate the DECT interface.

Please note
u
The firmware update can take up to
three minutes.
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 and a message is issued to
that effect.
Please note
If the base is not connected to the Inter-
net 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 base is
reconnected to the Internet.
Please note
u
Repeater support and
Eco Mode+
cancel each
other out, i.e., both functions cannot
be used at the same time.
u
The default encrypted transmission
setting is deactivated when repeater
mode is activated.
