Defining the server for firmware
updates, starting the update

If necessary, you can load updates of the

base station firmware onto your phone.

You can either download the updates

directly from the Internet or from a PC in

your local network.
Using the Web configurator you can spec-

ify from where the firmware should be

loaded.

Open the following Web page:

Miscellaneous

.

Download 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.

¤

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/S450IP/

Firmware_Datei.bin.

¤

Click on

Set

to save the changes.

This setting is automatically used for the

subsequent firmware update. The Inter-

net 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:

For how to show the messages from your mail-

box on your handset, see page 46

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 66).

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.
