The base station may need to be upgraded to match the software version supplied for use with the IP Office. The base station software consists of two parts, a firmware file and a boot file. All base stations in a DECT system should use the same version of software.
  1. Browse into the base station configuration and note the software levels shown by the Version line.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
  2. Check that these match the versions supplied with the IP Office administration software.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Ensure that you are checking against the correct folder for an IPBS1, IPBS2 or IPBS3 base station. If they do not match, you must upgrade the base station.
    If both software files need to be upgraded, the boot file should be upgraded first.
  3. In the left-hand column, under the Administration menu, select Update and then select the Boot tab.
