Because of auto provisioning, the Gigaset T300/T500 will change the Data Server field to his own IP address, the Firmware files could not be available on the T300/T500. You have to follow the following procedure. T300/T500 - Disable the Auto provisioning: Configuration - Phones - Settings - Deactivate auto provisioning.
- Press Apply to Deactivate
N720 - Change Data server URL: Settings - Management - Firmware update - Data server to : profile.gigaset.net/device

Sometimes we see that due to network issues, the Base stations are not updated. For this a hidden firmware update page is available. To access this page: - Login the WebGUI of the N720, then change the URL to:
- http://<IP address of N720>/hidden_firmware_update.html
You will see the screen below. Then enter the URL for the firmware update. Always first update the DECT manager and after successful update the Base station. Use following links for - DECT Manager: http://profile.gigaset.net/device/70/1/einsteiniwu073_70.bin
- Satellite: http://profile.gigaset.net/device/71/1/sat7107300000000.bin
If you have no internet access, you have to use an own http server, for this free tools are available like hfs.exe. With these tools you can use your laptop as the http server and insert the link towards your laptop. |
Download state is NOKIn case the download state shows “NOK” (see status page), i.e. after adding of new base station in the environment, the update job has been started again. Settings --> Management --> Firmware Update)
