Introduction

The <uploads> tag contains a list of the URLs for uploading new designs onto the phone (For further description please see the detailed article: Phone Customization )

This XML tag can be used either

  • inside the <settings> tag or

    <uploads>
 <file url=URL type=TYPE />
</uploads>

  • as an individual XML file whose URL is listed inside <setting-files> tag

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<uploads>
 <file url=URL type=TYPE />
</uploads>
All the mentioned files can be found in the "Customisation archive file" released along with the firmware, so please refer to the Firmware Update page.

The following attributes are allowed:

  • e="2" defines that unicode-values inside xml-escapes (e.g. & # 6 4 ;) may be greater than 255.


Also supported in XML <uploads> tag: gui_xml_custom This allows to upload a custom XML without the need to replace an existing one. Basically the phone can host the custom XML-"app" without the need to store it on a server.
The phone can access to the stored file using the URL: file:///xml/gui/custom_minibrowser.xml

Branding Gigaset Deskphones

Create a XML file, e.g. branding.xml and copy it onto your Web (HTTP) Server, i.e. http://yourwebserver/branding.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<uploads>
  <file url="http://yourwebserver/branding/GigasetP850_mypuidesign.tar" type="gui" />
</uploads>

Factory Defaults

To change default settings create a XML file e.g. default.xml with the settings which you want to change and copy it onto your Web (HTTP) Server, i.e. http://yourwebserver/default.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings>
 <phone-settings>
    <webserver_type perm="">off</webserver_type>
    </phone-settings>
</settings>

Now create a second XML file e.g. uploads.xml and load it via webinterface/advanced/update/Setting URL:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<settings>
  <uploads>
    <file url="http://yourwebserver/default.xml" type="defaults" />
  </uploads>
</settings>

The changes will take effect after reset
