Firmware update from local firmware file
In exceptional circumstances you may receive, for example, a firmware file from
Service that you can upload from the local PC to your telephone (e.g. because the
firmware update via the Internet did not work).
Precondition
: 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 if you need 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 or the pro-
vider profile (general provider data).
If a new version is available, a notification is sent to the handset and the message
key will flash. You can then carry out an automatic update of the firmware
(
) or of the provider data.

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.
Please note
If the telephone is not connected to the Internet at the time when the check for
new versions 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.
