FTP Update Firmware
Navigation: Admin > FTP Transfer > Firmware Update
Firmware is the device software stored in the handset.
Firmware updates are performed if
• the handset does not work properly or does not work at all, or
• you want to operate the handset using a new software set (new/impro-
ved features).
The currently available version is displayed in the section Current
Firmware.
Note:
Before updating the firmware you should backup the handset configu-
ration, see Æ FTP Backup and Restore or Æ Local Backup and Restore.
You can also do the firmware update locally at your PC, see Æ Local
Firmware Update.
A firmware update does not fix hardware errors.
Loading new firmware
• Make the new firmware available on an FTP server.
• Enter the FTP server data, see Æ Enter FTP Server Data.
• Enter the name of the firmware file on the FTP server into the field
Firmware Download.
• Click on the Update button.
The firmware is loaded into the handset and validated. If the new firmware
is valid, the previous firmware version is overwritten. This process may take
a few minutes.
After loading the new firmware the handset is restarted automatically. The
connection to the handset is terminated.
