I am talking about: Dover Street in London, a street that runs parallel to Bond street and that was once only known for its galleries and the avantgarde shopping emporium:Dover Street Market which is at no.17-18.
Now DSM(Dover Street Market) has some pretty cool neighbours: "Vanessa Bruno" has opened its stylish doors at 1A Grafton street (a zebra crossing away from Dover) which we passed on our way to lunch at the vastly popular American brasserie: "Automat".
I recommend making a reservation and asking for a booth (see above) or to be seated in the bright,light inner sanctum which has a busy,New York vibe to it.
"Automat":33, Dover Street
0207 499 3033
Back to shopping:"Louboutin" is planning an assault on Dover Street with a shop about to open there soon as well as " McQ": Alexander McQueen's little sister label.
Another on trend French label has also opened its doors at no.30A: "Loft"... which is great for separates with a French Flava!
"Acne"is at no.13 with "APC" at no.35....hot,fun,fashion.
"John Rocha":a beloved British designer is on the corner of Dover and Stafford. His boutique is part boudoir and classy as it is chic. Gorgeous gowns,clean cut and his accessories all under one roof.
French darlings and one of my favourites:"Marithe et Francois Girbaud" (who live by there own fashion rules) have opened on the top half of bustling Bond Street, a stone's throw from the small and now very classy department store: "Fenwick". There has always been something appealing about their designs which come off as one part fashion ,mixed with one part architecture...funky styles that are not for everyone but true French Fashion Royalty for the diehard fans and followers.
FYI:" Fenwick's": has been spruced up and dusted off and now has a cool "Barneys" style fashion department with some great British designers such as Jonathan Saunders...a must.
The one opening that has really made some noise is...believe it or not:
"Victoria's Secrets"...also on Bond Street ,opposite "Fenwick"s where "Pringles" used to be.
Big, flashy with music that rivals A&F...but with a tad more lighting...and I underline tad !!
Surprisingly enough...all this fanfare is for something that has been around for as long as the WonderBra...and that has been a while. But HEY! if you shout loud enough people will come a runnin' and to be fair..the downstairs section which houses the "Pink"line (and is in actual daylight)...is great for sweats and stuff.
The staff are young ,extremely helpful and polite. They have the "American"approach of retail down pat..I actually felt like I was in New York.
"Have a Nice Day..and thank you for shopping with us!"

Tomic's troubles continue, misses a spot at Australian Open
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Bernard Tomic's troubles have continued into 2018 with a loss in the last round of qualifying for the Australian Open.
Tomic lost 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-4 to Lorenzo Sonego on Sunday in the third round of qualifying for the main draw of the season's first major.
It will be the first time in 10 years that Tomic will miss his national championship, where he has a 17-9 win-loss record.
He lost in the third round last year and in the fourth round in 2016, the year he reached a career-high No. 17 ranking.
Tomic struggled with form, motivation and injury concerns last year as he lost in the first round of 13 tournaments, including Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
He was widely criticized after comments he made following the loss to Mischa Zverev at Wimbledon and was subsequently fined $15,000, roughly one-third of his tournament prize money.
The penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct was announced two days after Tomic spoke about feeling ''a little bit bored out there'' during his match against Zverev.
He said he ''just couldn't find any motivation'' to compete and acknowledged that when he called for a medical timeout, he was trying to ''break a bit of momentum.''
Tomic finished 2017 at No. 142 in the rankings, meaning he missed out on direct entry to the 128-player singles draw at Melbourne Park, and Australian Open organizers declined to give him a wildcard entry.
That left the 25-year-old Australian needing to compete for one of the 16 spots for qualifiers in the main draw, which starts Monday.
He saved two match points against Sonego as he served to stay in the match in the third set but, after questioning a baseline call that gave the Italian a third match point, Tomic netted a backhand to finish it off.
Sonego finished with 13 aces and 50 winners and fended off both breakpoints he faced, while Tomic had 16 winners and 30 unforced errors and had his serve broken three times.

"The Top Ten nominations are scattered throughout the state," said Scott Niess, an Osage farmer and chairman of the Iowa Beef Industry Council. "The nominations covered restaurants over 170 Iowa communities. That response shows that Iowans and Iowa restaurants know that burgers will always be a popular item. Restaurants love to make burgers and their customers love to eat them."
Nominations for the contest were made through March 18.
The Top 10 restaurants received the most votes during the contest. They will now be visited by a secret panel of judges who will evaluate the hamburgers based on taste, appearance and proper serving temperature.

When American photographer Daniella Zalcman landed in England in November 2012, she was looking for a long-term project to pursue while she waited for official approval from the British government to begin working in the country. What she found was a fiercely dedicated crew of World War II reenactors, who travel across the country staging epic recreations of significant events from the war. The images she created as she followed their travels through history look like they could have been shot at the height of the war, a quality she says comes from a combination of her camera, her subjects and her persistence.
"One of the biggest elements of getting a good photo is getting good access," Zalcman told TIME. "Once I got my foot in the door I was really able to interact with people and follow this story for a long period of time." She's been photographing British battle reenactments for close to a year now, and is currently in Normandy photographing the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Her images, shot in black and white on medium format frames, evince a rugged authenticity and timeless charm.
"It's pedantic in the most loveable way possible," Zalcman said. "Every detail, down to the last button, has to be accurate, because every single one of these World War II reenactors has a father, a grandfather, a very close family member who was in the war. So in these photos a lot of them are wearing their grandfathers boots, or their dad's insignia. It's very close to home for a lot of them."
While far from a history buff, Zalcman says she's had to brush up on her WWII trivia to keep up with the subjects in her photos. "It a lot more interesting and a lot easier to immerse yourself when you're hearing stories from that close, and from that perspective, to really know where they're coming from."
Zalcman's said she comes from a documentary background, which shows in her WWII work. The nostalgia that shines through in her portraits of Winston Churchill look-a-likes and leisurely snapshots of soldiers at rest is a fitting tribute to both history as it was, and history reenacted. "WWII was really the last great war, and I think we can agree that it's the last war that there were genuine war heroes in the most idealistic sense of the phrase. So for me, it's a historic continuation and a way for me to reflect on their reflections on the war."

February 21, 2013
In the spirit of protest and in efforts to retain the Second Amendment as it stands, a nationwide "Day of Resistance" has been organized for Saturday, February 23 in virtually all states, with some states holding multiple rallies in multiple towns and cities.
According to the event's head organizer, Dustin Stockton, the rallies were never meant to be a nationwide effort, but they quickly turned into one once citizens in other states adamant about protecting their gun rights caught wind.
"I put out this video that I was going to do five rallies, and then all of a sudden I started getting emails from people all over the country," Stockton said in an interview with Breitbart. "Some asked me to come to Mississippi, to Minneapolis, to Louisiana and so many other places. I was like 'Holy crap.' This is way bigger than I anticipated."
The goal of the rally is made clear on the "Day of Resistance" homepage:
On January 16, 2013, President Barack Obama issued 23 executive actions against your 2nd amendment Constitutional right to bear arms. He did this without the consent of Congress which in itself, violates the foundation of the Constitution and the co-equal branches of government.
In response to these unconstitutional actions by the President, on .223, February 23, 2013 the American people will stand together in defiance to protect the right that protects ALL of our rights, the 2nd Amendment! They will organize locally so that they may band together neighbor to neighbor and reassert their community's right to determine their own destiny!
The date holds special significance, not only because it alludes to the caliber of ammo everyone's favorite "assault weapon," the AR-15 uses (.223), but because it is "also the day we raised the flag in Iwo Jima," according to Stockton, and because it falls on a Saturday, it is accommodating for "people who work regular hours."
Stockton says the rallies will be open to anyone that feels the federal government is overstepping its bounds in demanding new gun laws, however, that should not be the only topic covered at the events.
"We think that gives us an opportunity to talk about how Obamacare is affecting people's personal privacy and all the other issues the Tea Party movement has to talk about," Stockton said. "We'll talk about over-regulation, bailouts, crony capitalism, Benghazi, Fast and Furious."
So far, citizens in more than 35 states have signed up to either host, attend or contribute to the events that day, which puts the event on track to rival the Guns Across America gun rights rallies that took place last month. Stockton says over 50,000 Americans have RSVPd to attend the over 120 rallies on Saturday.
California, a state whose Attorney General says has "19,700 gun owners who are no longer qualified to possess firearms" and is actively pursuing confiscation of said weapons, seems to be the state with the most rallies planned for Saturday, standing at a total of 16, which should send a strong message to its Attorney General and one of California's fiercest gun control hypocrites, the notorious Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Texas is next with 9 rallies planned so far and Florida follows with a total of 7 rallies planned statewide.
States that at this point seem to have no rallies planned are as follows:
Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia.
The Obama Administration, in its rush to exploit the recent tragedy in Newtown, Conn., clearly underestimated the epic volume of resistance they'd encounter as the warrior spirit within the American people rises in recognition of the veiled threat to their rights and liberties under the guise of "gun safety."

Lawrence Guyot, a civil rights leader who was threatened, jailed and nearly beaten to death in the Deep South in the 1960s and helped lead a drive to register black voters during the tumultuous Freedom Summer of 1964, has died. He was 73.
The longtime activist, who had a history of heart problems and diabetes, died at home Thursday in Mount Rainier, Md., according to his daughter, Julie Guyot-Diangone.
A Mississippi native, Guyot was one of the original members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and served as director of the 1964 Freedom Summer Project in Hattiesburg, Miss.
He was founding chairman of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, which sought to have blacks included among the state's delegates to the 1964 Democratic National Convention. That bid was rejected, but it paved the way for the seating of black delegates at the party's 1968 convention.
Guyot was severely beaten several times, including at the notorious Mississippi State Penitentiary known as Parchman Farm. He continued to speak on voting rights until his death, including encouraging people to cast ballots for President Obama.
"He was a civil rights fieldworker right up to the end," Guyot-Diangone said.
Susan Glisson, executive director of the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation at the University of Mississippi, called Guyot "a real warrior for freedom and justice" whose efforts helped lay the groundwork for the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
"Mississippi has more black elected officials than any other state in the country, and that's a direct tribute to his work," she said.
Guyot was born in Pass Christian, Miss., on July 17, 1939. He became active in civil rights while attending Tougaloo College in Mississippi and graduated in 1963.
That year he went to Winona, Miss., to bail out several colleagues, including Fannie Lou Hamer, who had been jailed after trying to register black voters. After inquiring about them at the jail, Guyot was confronted by nine police officers "who took turns punching me with the butts of guns ... forced me to take all my clothes off, then ... threatened burning my genitals with fire," he said in Howell Raines' "My Soul Is Rested," a 1983 memoir of the movement.
The attack continued for four hours and was halted only after a doctor told the officers that Guyot could die. Bloodied and barely conscious, Guyot was thrown into jail along with his fellow activists. He was released from jail in time to attend the funeral of civil rights leader Medgar Evers, who had been assassinated days earlier in the driveway of his Jackson, Miss., home.
In late 1963, Guyot's civil rights work landed him at the dreaded Parchman prison, where he lost 100 pounds during a 17-day hunger strike.
District of Columbia Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton told the Washington Post in 2007 that she first met Guyot within days of his beating at the Winona jail. "Because of Larry Guyot, I understood what it meant to live with terror and to walk straight into it," she told the newspaper. On Friday, she called Guyot "an unsung hero" of the civil rights movement.
In 1964, Guyot was a field secretary for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee helping to organize the mass registration of Mississippi's black voters. Freedom Summer drew thousands of volunteers, including white college students from the North. The possibility of violence was so great that "I didn't expect to make it through the summer," Guyot recalled in a 1994 interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Three civil rights workers — Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney — were killed that summer. Guyot had almost gotten into the car with them on their drive to the Mississippi town of Philadelphia when they disappeared. Their bodies were found 40 days later.
Guyot earned a law degree in 1971 from Rutgers University and then moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked to elect fellow Mississippian and civil rights activist Marion Barry as mayor in 1978. He later held various jobs in the District of Columbia government.
In recent months, Guyot's daughter said he was concerned about what he said were Republican efforts to limit access to the polls. As his health was failing, he voted early because he wanted to make sure his vote was counted, he told the AFRO newspaper.
In addition to his daughter, he is survived by his wife, Monica Klein Guyot; a son, Lawrence; and four grandchildren.

When you think about Valentine's Day, roses and chocolate usually come to mind. You can send your Valentine a dozen roses, or you could opt for a less traditional arrangement that would better suit the recipient's personality, such as one that includes their favorite flower or their favourite colour.
Valentine's gifts such as these do not necessarily have to be romantic. Surprise a close friend with a bouquet! Anyone you care about would be thrilled to receive a Valentine's bouquet. If roses are too romantic to send to your Valentine, consider another type of bouquet, such as one featuring lilies, daisies, or hydrangeas. Yellow flowers are a symbol of friendship. Adding balloons and a special note are great ways to show your friend that they are special to you on Valentine's day. Create you own Valentine's Day bouquet here.

Without liberals, Christian Democrats lack direction27/02/2010
While like the rest of Europe, the Netherlands has to deal with three crises – economic, ecological and social – this coalition has prided itself on blocking measures, rather than taking action. It is not even clear whether the one significant reform law that was adopted – the long overdue raising of the retirement age from 65 to 67 by 2025 – will be able to take effect now that the government has collapsed. Wouter Bos' Labour party boasts blocking major economic reforms, like greater labour market flexibility, while Balkenende's CDA prides itself on blocking Labour's desired referendum on the Lisbon Treaty and a parliamentary enquiry into the Iraq war. Though the coalition agreed that euro 35 billion worth of budget cuts are needed, they have outsourced the matter to committees of civil servants without providing any direction.
So why did the government fall?
In 2007 the Dutch government had promised that the last Dutch troops would leave Uruzgan in 2010, arguing that proportionally the Dutch have already done more than their fair share of supporting NATO's endeavors there. A small country delivering 2000 troops in one of the most dangerous Afghan provinces, compares very favorably to Germany's 4400 in the relatively safe North or France's 3700. Whereas Wouter Bos wanted to stick to this agreement, the Christian Democrats wanted another extension. The Parliament set a deadline of March 1st for a clear government proposal on the way ahead, forcing a showdown between the partners.
With municipal elections on March 3rd, Labour was in no mood to back down or compromise, its leader Bos having been called a "turncoat" too many times for their liking. At the same time the Christian-Democrats, who could easily have saved the coalition by agreeing to implement the existing agreement, insisted on keeping all options on the table in the full knowledge there would never be a parliamentary majority for extending the presence in Uruzgan. In short ego's and electoral posturing came before the economic needs of the country. It is not surprising then that polls indicate that voters feel both major parties are to blame for this collapse.
On a more positive note, it is hoped that a new coalition will be able to get to work with desperately needed measures to battle the economic crisis, lead on climate and energy issues and ensure social cohesion. I expect the voters to turn to parties that have a proven track record in this regard, which includes my own. In fact the longest serving Balkenende government was the second one with the two liberal parties, VVD and D66. Without the liberals to provide direction, it is clear the Christian-Democrats have no idea what policy choices to make, especially in times of crisis.

Your most productive plans for the Fourth of July might involve a vodka-infused watermelon, but Mitt Romney probably won't be doing much relaxing during his annual family vacation at his lakefront home near Wolfeboro, New Hampshire (which includes a terrifying-sounding activity called the "Romney Olympics," Oh My God): Romney has invited New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte to march with him in the small town's Fourth of July parade. That doesn't just mean he wants her on his potato sack race team; Ayotte will be the first vice presidential short-lister to appear publicly with Romney during his vacation, and her stay will give the two some private time to discuss the future.
According to ABC, Ayotte will be accompanied by her kids and husband, Joe Daley, who is a small business owner (niice) and a war veteran (perfect). She's used to hanging out with Romney; she met up with him multiple times on the primary campaign trail and endorsed his candidacy way back in November. Ayotte also recently passed a crucial VP test: mobilizing the anti-choice base without saying anything too batshit insane that could reflect poorly on Romney. "How we treat the weakest among us is truly a reflection on who we are as a nation and President Obama's record shocks the conscious when it comes to protecting life and unfortunately on many other issues as well," Ayotte told the crowd at last week's National Right to Life conference. (ABC says Romney sent her there.) "He has a vision of America that is very different from what we want for our children and our grandchildren. I shudder to think what would happen in a second term." A+!
Even though Ayotte sounds promising (especially re: tomorrow's photo op; it's going to look like freaking Music Man), Romney's also still considering a ton of other dudes according to Roll Call: some rich, some poor, and some crazy.
There's Ohio Senator Rob Portman, who served as director of the Office of Management and Budget and U.S. trade representative under Dubya and had a minimum net worth of $6.72 million at the end of 2011, most of which is thanks to real estate holdings. But maybe voters would appreciate someone more like Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who has a dismal net worth of negative $400,000 thanks to student loans and mortgages. "While he's among the least wealthy Senators, it's not as if he has financial problems," said a spokesman. "His personal finances just have more in common with the people he serves than the people he serves with." (Obama picked Biden even though he had a negative net worth. But then again, Obama never told students to borrow from their parents to get ahead in life.)
Romney is also said to still be considering Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Rep Paul Ryan, Sen. Jone Thune, and Magic Mike.

Richard Charles Rodgers (June 28, 1902 – December 30, 1979) was an American composer of music for more than 900 songs and for 43 Broadway musicals. He also composed music for films and television. He is best known for his songwriting partnerships with the lyricists Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II. His compositions have had a significant impact on popular music down to the present day, and have an enduring broad appeal.
Rodgers is one of only two persons to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony: known as an EGOT, plus a Pulitzer Prize (Marvin Hamlisch is the other).
Born into a prosperous Jewish family in Arverne, Queens, New York City, Rodgers was the son of Mamie Levy and of Dr. William Abrahams Rodgers, a prominent physician who had changed the family name from Abrahams. Richard began playing the piano at age six. He attended P.S. 10, Townsend Harris Hall and DeWitt Clinton High School. Rodgers spent his early teenage summers in Camp Wigwam (Waterford, ME) where he composed some of his first songs. Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, and Rodgers's later collaborator Oscar Hammerstein II all attended Columbia University. During his time at Columbia he became a member of the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity. In 1921, Rodgers shifted his studies to the Institute of Musical Art (now Juilliard). Rodgers was influenced by composers like Victor Herbert and Jerome Kern, as well as by the operettas his parents took him to see on Broadway when he was a child.

Maybe it was the ghosts of Saitama Super Arena.
Maybe somewhere in that cavernous hall, the old memories of Wanderlei Silva's former glories are still floating around, whispering stories about when it was 10 years ago and the last thing any fighter wanted to see standing on the other side of the PRIDE ring was Silva, rolling his wrists in a menacing bit of pre-fight calisthenics as he watched his victim out of the tops of his eyes. It wasn't so long ago, the ghosts say. Who says it couldn't happen again, they ask, if only just this once?
Somewhere between the opening screeches of "Sandstorm" and the dull leather thud of the first hook hammering home, Silva heard the ghosts talking. Go forth and stand and bang, they told him. Silva did, and he saw that it was good. Brian Stann did too, and the last thing he saw was Silva's right hand.
"I don't know what happens in Japan, but it makes me feel young," Silva said at the UFC on FUEL TV 8 post-fight press conference.
But feeling young and being young are two different things. We've all seen how one fight can make you old in this sport. It's rare for it to work the same way in reverse.
The facts on Wanderlei Silva look like this: He's 36 years old (at least in people years; in fighter years his battles have made him much, much older), he hasn't won two fights in a row since 2006, and he's fresh off a knockout win over Stann that would make for an absolutely perfect fight to end his career on.
OK, so that last one is opinion rather than fact, but you know it's true. Can you imagine a more Wanderlei-tastic final fight? He got to walk out one last time in Saitama Super Arena, and then he got to spend the first round brawling with Stann in a defense-free fight in which each took turns hooking the other off his feet. As if that wasn't enough, he also got to win, and in violent "Axe Murderer" fashion. A couple murderous right hands, his opponent goes limp, and the crowd goes wild. Freeze on the scene of Silva jumping on the cage to celebrate with his public. Fade to black.
You simply don't get endings that perfect in the fight business, at least not in real life. But then, maybe there's a reason for that. Maybe it's because the kinds of fighters who get there in the first place – fighters like Silva, who are a rare breed to begin with – just can't end on good news.
It's not hard to understand why. Professional cage fighters are a self-selecting group. This sport weeds out the quitters very early on, and then it gets started on the overly rational forward-thinkers. The people who wonder if maybe they shouldn't keep pummeling the skull of another human being with their already broken and rapidly swelling hand? The ones who get knocked out and don't wake up with the word "rematch" on their lips? Yeah, they don't typically last long in this sport. To become a legend like Silva in the first place, you have to possess a certain kind of mindset. You have to calculate physical risks and rewards in ways that most people would regard as flawed, if not downright grotesque.
You have to be special, in other words, which Silva most definitely is. Now it's that very same specialness that's keeping him from cashing in his chips after his latest bet has paid off big.
"I'm fighting one fight at a time right now," Silva said after his win over Stann.
Translation: I'm probably going to keep doing this until something genuinely awful happens to me, and even then you'll need a tractor to drag me away.
You can't really blame him, can you? A couple years ago, we said he was done, washed-up, his chin long gone and his power nothing more than the fading echo of his youth. Now look. He might have staggered and stumbled through Stann's haymakers, but he was still conscious and clear-eyed even after wading into the fray with his hands nowhere near his own face. It's as if the plastic surgeon who gave him a new face also threw in a fresh chin at no extra charge. Who's to say he doesn't have a few more of these magical nights left in him?
The trouble is, if you can't walk away when you're winning, you end up sticking around until you've had more than your fill of losing. And when you have a style like Silva's, which courts disaster even in victory, you almost can't help but invite the kind of damage that can't be undone with surgery or rehab. That's the fear, isn't it? That Wanderlei will prove to be way too Wanderlei for his own good? Maybe he already is.
History tells us that this is how it usually goes with great fighters. Too bad it doesn't tell them. Or rather, too bad that when it does tell them, they rarely seem to get the message on time. After all, who wants to listen to those dreary warnings about a hypothetical future when you're so busy celebrating the glorious present? Who could even hear them over the roar of the Saitama Super Arena crowd and the whispers of the ghosts?

From Snom User Wiki
Download links
Latest version
Upgrading base or handsets from version 324 or earlier:
- IMPORTANT NOTE 1: After upgrading to the version 355BXX you WILL NOT ABLE TO DOWNGRADE TO THE VERSION 324BXX. Please take this upgrade carefully
- IMPORTANT NOTE 2: The upgrade will remove all the manually uploaded contacts from the global addressbook. Please make sure to re-upload the addressbook after the update.
- IMPORTANT NOTE 3: In case you are doing the update from a 323 version you need to update to the version 324B12 before applying the version 355
Firmware binaries
If you have read and understood the Release Notes and all the reported information, click here to show the download links
Firmware binaries:
Version 355B25:
Version 355B22:
Version 355B21:
Snom M5 Repeater firmware:
- Snom M5 - IMPORTANT: To upgrade from V33B3 to V39 repeater re-registration is needed
Update Instructions
Downloading locally the firmware files
Before starting the update, you must download all required files and save them in folders using the exact structure described below.
Do not rename the update files as the base station will look for file names that adhere to the M-series naming scheme.
- All M-series product names start with a capital M, followed by one to three numerals.
- The names of the firmware files also start with the capital M and are followed by one to three numerals, i.e., M700, M300, M65, M25, etc.
- The product name is followed by the underscore _ which, in turn, is followed by a small v and the three-digit firmware version preceded by a zero, i.e., 0323, 0324, 355 etc.
- Starting from version 355 you must also define the branch number using 4 digits preceded by a small b.
- The repeater firmware file is without a branch number (Eg. M5_v0039.fwu)
- The file name has the .fwu extension
- The update file for updating the M700 to version 324 must be named M700_v0324.fwu
- The update file for updating the M65 to version 324 must be named M65_v0324.fwu
- The update file for updating the M300 to version 355 branch 16 must be named M300_v0355_b0016.fwu
Note: Linux/Unix based HTTP servers are case sensitive. Since all M-series product names start with a capital M, the names of the folders must also start with a capital M, i.e., M700, M300, M65, M25, etc. Naming the folders m700, m300, etc. will cause the downloads to fail.
Set up a folder for each M-series product on your http server and download the firmware file for each product into the respective folder.
Structure example:
/ ├── M25 │ └── M25_v0355_b0025.fwu ├── M300 │ └── M300_v0355_b0025.fwu ├── M65 │ └── M65_v0355_b0025.fwu ├── M700 │ └── M700_v0355_b0025.fwu ├── M85 │ └── M85_v0355_b0025.fwu └── M5 └── M5_v0039.fwu
When you perform the update via web interface you have to enter:
- Firmware update server address
- Firmware path
- Required Version
- Required Branch (mandatory since v355).
The download path will be created following the rule:
- Without specifying a branch number: <server_address><path>/<product>/<product>_v0<version>.fwu
- With a branch number (>= v355): <server_address><path>/<product>/<product>_v<version>_b<branch>.fwu
Using the Snom server http://dect.snom.com
Follow the instructions reported here.
Troubleshooting the update
Base station update procedure
- If everything is working properly the base will start downloading the firmware, at the end of the download the system checks the binary integrity, this procedure can takes some minutes.
- At the end of the previous steps the base station will apply the firmware upgrade. During this phase the device will be unreachable and you should see the base LED blinking in orange and then in red.
- After some minutes the base station should be correctly updated and reachable via the web interface
Handsets update procedure
- After filling the handsets "Required Version" text box and clicking on the "Save/Start Update" button the base will download the binary locally
- After the download the base will transfer the firmware to the handsets over-the-air, into the handsets web page of the base you should see the transfer percentage for each handset
- At the end of the transfer the handset should be put on the charger in order to apply the update. On the handsets page you should see the "Waiting for charger message"
If something goes wrong with the update you should see the reason looking into the Syslog after enabling the Debug messages (Management -> Syslog -> Syslog level )
