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) if you are prompted for a user name and password. 
    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 could be named 231_4_40.bin or axis232dp.bin
    (depending on product model).

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.
      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. 

11. After the upgrade has completed, the unit will automatically initiate the
    system. 

FTP
===

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

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

3.  Log in as root. The default password for the root user is "pass", unless
    this has been changed by the user. 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.

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.
    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. 

8.  After the upgrade has completed, the unit will automatically initiate the
    system.
