TThe GXV3140 supports 3 upgrade methods: TFTP, HTTP and HTTPS. You can upgrade the firmware using a local or a remote server. By default, the GXV3140 uses a remote server which upgrades the firmware during the boot process

Follow these directions to upgrade using a remote server:

Set the [Upgrade Via] paramter to HTTP and enter fm.ipvideotalk.com/gs in the Firmware Server Path field. You should also set DHCP Option 66 Override Server to [No] and Automatically Upgrade mode to [Always check upgrade at bootup]. Save your settings and restart the phone to upgrade your firmware.

Most likely the Internet radio cannot connect to some stations because the URL may be invalid or broken. This could also be caused by a network issue. Perhaps the network bandwidth is too small, causing a timeout in the radio application. Additionally, some network providers prohibit radio stations. Please check with your network administrator on this issue.

This may occur as a result of another application using the sound resource on the GXV3140. If you are listening to online music or internet radio and a call comes in, the music will be stopped and the phone will ring. After the call ends, the music will resume. If you are listening to the Internet Radio, you cannot play media files.

The instant messenger is a tool that lets you chat with other people online; these include Google Talk, MSN, QQ and Yahoo. When the instant messenger application is launched, the little icon is displayed on the upper right-hand corner of the LCD screen. If the icon is blue, it means you are logged in. If the icon is gray, it means that you are logged out. When the icon is flickering between orange and blue, it means that you have received a new instant message.

The short message is an instant SIP message, the contents are sent via text format. If you do not receive the message, it will not be saved by the server or forwarded again.

A voice message consists of RTP packets and can be saved on the server. When the caller cannot reach the callee, a connection is established with the server and the voice message is recorded. The server will then notify the callee that there is a voice message waiting and a connection will be established to retrieve the message.

This application allows you to upload your photos to digital photo albums on a server. The GXV3140 supports three types of online Photo Albums: Photobucket, Flickr and Phanfare. To use these services, you would need an account. If you do not have an account, please register at the corresponding website and use it to login. After logging in, you are able to upload photos and delete photos.

You are also able to use the online Photo album with a PC. Note: the photos stored on the online album can be viewed by other users on the Internet.

The Capture packet application captures traces files from the phone. You can use these files to monitor and diagnose the phone.

By default, the Capture packet application is not disabled and can be enabled when needed. Log in to the web interface and select [Maintenance] →[Debug], press the “Start” button next to “Capture Trace.” To stop the trace, press the “Stop” button. The captured packets will be stored automatically in the phone’s memory. You can download the trace to your PC by clicking on the “List” button next to “View trace”, and clicking on the captured trace.

The short message is a method to transmit text messages between SIP clients registered to the same server. This requires both the server and the client to support the short message feature. Users can send messages to other users on the same server, similar to text messaging between mobile phones. When a new message is received, the LCD will notify the user and a small notification icon will appear on the screen.
