only the base station you are currently connected to. To update all base stations at the
same time, select
Update all BaseStations.
9) Enter the last 3 digits of the firmware filename in the
Required version
field. The
required version identifies the firmware file containing the update; for example, if you

127
in the
Required version
field.
10) Click
Start update

The base station firmware download will start. (You can check the download
progress in the relevant log of your TFTP Server application.) The base

station takes several minutes.
To verify the firmware update, go to the
Home/Status
screen and check the
Firmware-Version

Before starting an update, ensure that the TFTP Server is running.
Each base station uses the DECT RF channels to download new firmware files to its
handsets, and it can only update handsets that are registered to it.
Each update session takes approximately 3 hours, and the base station will complete a
session before starting a new one.
A base station in a single cell system can update 10 handsets in a single session
(because there are 10 available RF channels), so Handsets 1 through 10 are updated
in session 1, Handsets 11 through 20 are updated in the second session, etc.
In a multi-cell system, each base station can update 8 handsets in a session, but all
base stations can perform update sessions at the same time. If you distribute the
