UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
====================

The firmware can be upgraded using Axis Camera Management, HTTP or FTP.


Axis Camera Management 2.0
==========================

1.  Download and install AXIS Camera Management on your computer. 

2.  Download the upgrade file to a directory that is accessible from your
    local computer.
 
3.  Run AXIS Camera Management. All the Axis devices found on the local 
    subnet (or on subnets with routers that support multicasting) are shown 
    in the list. 

4.  Select the devices that you want to upgrade with new firmware (you can 
    even select different models) and click the Upgrade icon. 
    Note: A dialog will open if some of the devices can not be configured, 
    e.g. if the devices are not accessible. 

5.  The Upgrade Firmware dialog shows a list of camera models and, if you 
    expand the list, you can see the current firmware version installed in 
    each device. 

6.  Click to locate the new firmware versions stored on your hard drive. This 
    needs to be done for each Axis network camera or video server model. 

7.  Click OK to start upgrading the devices. 
 
For more information see help in Axis Camera Management.


HTTP
====

1.  Download the upgrade file to a directory that is accessible from your
    local computer.

2.  Go to the product's start page (e.g. http://192.168.0.90).

3.  Click the Setup link and log in as "root" (or any other user with
    Administrator privileges). You must be logged in as an Administrator to 
    upgrade the unit.

4.  Click System Options in the menu to the left.

5.  Click Maintenance.

6.  Click the Browse button in the Upgrade Server section.

7.  Select the upgrade file you downloaded (and maybe decompressed) from our
    site. This file is typically named 212PTZ_435.bin or axis212PTZ.bin.

8.  Click the Open button.

9.  Click the Upgrade button in the Upgrade Server section.

10. Wait for the flash load to complete, which may take 1-10 minutes. The
    upgrade procedure is in four steps:
    Step 1, Shut down:
      Running applications are shut down and active connections are terminated.
    Step 2, Uploading firmware:
      The old firmware will be erased and the new firmware will be saved.
      During this step, the Power LED will blink green/amber. After a while
      the progress of the upgrade will be displayed in the Web browser.
    Step 3, Reboot:
      The system restarts automatically.
    Step 4, Reconfiguration:
      The new firmware settings are configured to match the previous settings.
      The Status LED will be amber during this step.

11. After the upgrade has completed, the unit will automatically initiate the
    system, during which the Status LED blinks amber. When initiation is
    complete and the system is ready for use, the Status LED will be green.

FTP
===

1.  You must be at the command prompt and in the directory that contains the
    upgrade file.
    Example: C:\Axis\212PTZ\4_35

2.  From the command prompt, open an FTP connection to the unit you wish to
    upgrade. (Do not use a Windowsbased FTP-program to do this, use only
    command line FTP programs!)

3.  Log in as root. You must be logged in as the root user to upgrade the unit.

4.  Change to binary transfer mode by typing bin and press enter.

5.  Type hash and press enter. (This will allow you to see how the upgrade
    progresses)

6.  Type the command put XXX.bin flash where XXX.bin is the name of the
    upgrade file you downloaded (and maybe decompressed) from our site. This
    file is typically named 212PTZ_435.bin or axis212PTZ.bin.

7.  Wait for the flash load to complete, which may take 1-10 minutes. The
    upgrade procedure is in four steps:
    Step 1, Shut down:
      Running applications are shut down and active connections are terminated.
    Step 2, Uploading firmware:
      The old firmware will be erased and the new firmware will be saved.
      During this step, the Power LED will blink green/amber. After a while
      the progress of the upgrade will be displayed in the command prompt.
    Step 3, Reboot:
      The FTP session terminates and the system restarts automatically.
    Step 4, Reconfiguration:
      The new firmware settings are configured to match the previous settings.
      The Status LED will be amber during this step.

8.  After the upgrade has completed, the unit will automatically initiate the
    system, during which the Status LED blinks amber. When initiation is
    complete and the system is ready for use, the Status LED will be green.
