OpenStage 80 SIP Firmware V3 R3 32.0

Hey guys,

would anybody be so kind to help me out with the newest OS 80 SIP firmware? Notoriously difficult to extract from the Siemens Empire if you're just running these excellent phones with open source based servers.

kind regards
pat

Release Notes

Thanks a lot man! That's much better than what I was stuck with.

Does the OS 80 have a different release cycle than the other models or is this actually the last firmware that's going to be available? Because IIRC Siemens EOL'd the 80 sometime in 2013... didn't think they'd stop supporting it so soon though.

Hi Pat,
That SIP release (V3.24.0) was posted 10/10/2014
SIP phones still being used on OpenScape so should be supported for a while.

Right, I wouldn't worry about the SIP support in general, it's only the OpenStage 80 hardware that was discontinued. (Actually already in late 2012, not 2013 as I remembered.)

So it would seem that 2 years after discontinuing the product, Siemens has decided to stop providing software updates for it. Which is understandable, but kind of sad, considering it's pretty much the same hardware as the OS 60, just with a different screen and case. Oh well. :\

It is a possibility (however unlikely) that all of the problems have been fixed on the phone and therefore no new firmware is required
