- To find out the firmware version of your Gigaset phone model, open a new browser window and enter your phone's IP address in order to access the phone's web administration interface login screen. Example:
http://192.168.1.22. - Log in to the phone's web administration interface with your username and password. Please note that the factory default username is admin and the factory default login password is admin.
