Gigaset firmware update. (S685ip)
www.GymRatZ.co.uk
Took the risk and went ahead with it.
"seemed" ok then one of the handsets said "new profile available" or
something so I took the gamble again.... then thought that was a bit
stupid but it was too late. All was fine though.
Final thing to watch out for is after all the updates it was only when a
call came through on our fall back BT line I realised the box was
frozen. Powercycle and so far we're back in action... fingers crossed.
Just realised I've been using voipfone.co.uk for 3 years for inbound
calls. Doesn't time fly.

Arghhhhhh While printing of some voipfone invoices I found the following
on their forum:
"Siemens Firmware Upgrade, DON'T Update
We've had a number of calls today from Siemens phone users having issues
today since upgrading the firmware on their phone.
If you see your phone pop up showing a request to update, please don't
upgrade the firmware at this stage"
Ho Hum... time will tell.
Bugger bugger bugger.

I know the feeling!
I got a Thompson router do go with my new BE ADSL2+ connection.
It was all preconfigured, but there was a note in the box that said "Stop.
Put the supplied CD in before connecting the BeBox.
Well I couldn't find a slot wide enough to take the CD on the router itself,
so I wondered if they meant me to put it in one of my computers, so against
my better judgement I put it in my laptop. The first thing it wanted to do is to replace
the routers firmware, not something I would have chosen to do without
consideration. The first attempt seemed to fail, which was a bit of a worry,
the second attempt succeeded however.
I had a look through the Thompson's web config options and was left
a bit underwhelmed, and made the decision that my trusty Netgear DG834PN
with the latest firmware might be a better option so I re-connected that, only
to find that my laptop now refused to play at Internet.
*The blankety-blank CD config had only secretly changed my LAN settings
from DHCP to a static one of 192.168.1.x *
They must actually like the average users calling their support line with
"Since we got BE I can't use my laptop in Maccy Ds"
(That's Mancunian for Mc Donald's)

Mine seems fine. Noticed a new menu item for "Call Manager" in "Number
Assignment". Not sure what it is for yet. Unless it has always been
there and I missed it before.
I have noticed it is very quick now using Firefox. Used to take an age
to move through the menus.
