Before you begin:
Download the upgrade file and save it on your hard disk.
The Camera server must be installed on an Ethernet the network using TCP/IP, see User’s manual or Quick Reference Guide.
Disable any CRON Scripts or links to Web Pages that may reference the Camera Server during the flash procedure.
Important Note: You must be in DOS and in the directory that contains the Upgrade File.
Example: C:\Axis\200p\1_42\
- Open a ftp connection to the unit you want to upgrade, from a command prompt. (I.e. you cannot use a ftp-program for this!)
- Login as root. The default password for the root user is pass unless changed by the user. You must be logged in as the root user to flash the unit.
- Change to binary transfer mode by typing bin and push the enter key.
- Type hash and push the enter key. This will allow you to see the flash in progress.
- Type the command put XXX.YYY flash and push the enter key. Change XXX.YYY to the name of the file you have downloaded and decompressed. Typically 200p_142.bin or axis200p.bin.
- Wait for the flash load to finish, this may take 1-4 minutes.
Your unit will automatically restart using the new firmware.
