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.
¤ 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. Example:
192.168.2.105/C470IP/FW_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.
Starting a firmware update
Preconditions:
u No calls are being made via the fixed line network or VoIP.
u There is no internal connection between the registered handsets.
u The base station menu is not open in any of the handsets.
¤ Click Update Firmware.
The firmware is updated. This process can take up to 3 minutes.
Activating/deactivating the automatic version check
When the version check is activated, the phone checks on a daily basis whether the Sie-
mens configuration server is carrying a new version of the phone firmware or of the file
with the general settings for your VoIP provider.
If a new version is available, a notification is sent to the handset and the message key
flashes. You can then carry out an automatic update of the firmware (page 106) or of the
VoIP provider settings (page 108).
¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Miscellaneous.
¤ Click Yes next to Automatic check for software/profile updates to activate the automatic ver-
sion check.
Click No if you do not want a version check to be carried out.
¤ Click Set to save the changes.
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:
You can also start the firmware update on the handset (page 105).
