Web configurator – Setting the phone using a PC
Gigaset A580 IP / GBR / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / web_server.fm / 24.03.2010
Version 8, 03.09.2008
Starting a firmware update
If necessary, you can load updates of the base station firmware onto your phone.
The server on which Gigaset Communications makes new firmware versions avail-
able for your base station is set by default. The URL of this Internet server is dis-
played in the Data server field.
You should only change this URL under exceptional circumstances (e.g. if requested
to do so due to a malfunction). This address is also used to load provider informa-
tion from the Internet. You should therefore make a note of the default URL before
you overwrite it. Otherwise, you will only be able to reactivate the default URL by
resetting the base station back to the default settings (
£ Page 99).
Preconditions:
u No calls are being made via the fixed line network or VoIP.
u There is no internal connection between registered handsets or to GHC devices.
u The base station menu is not open in any of the handsets.
¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Miscellaneous.
¤ Select the Update Firmware button.
The firmware is updated. This process can take up to 3 minutes.
Please note
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.
u The firmware is only loaded from the Internet if you have not entered a local file
in the User defined firmware file field prior to the update.
Please note
You can also start the firmware update on the handset (£ Page 101).
