When upgrading a Gigaset Desk Phone to the latest firmware please make sure that you save your phones configuration settings such as the line configuration, ring tones etc BEFORE doing the firmware upgrade as if you do not save the configuration you will lose this when the firmware update has finished.
When the firmware has been upgraded you will then need to restore the configuration back onto the phone.
Please read a step by step guide below on how to save your phone line configuration settings before doing a firmware upgrade:
1. Login to your Phones Gigaset web interface - click here to see how

3. Click on the ‘Save’ option – this will download the phone configuration file onto your PC.
4. We would suggest renaming this file to be say the last 3 digits of the IP address – so you will know which phone configuration to restore later. The file will save as a download onto your PC as a DAT file.
