FIRMWARE RELEASE NOTES ====================== Products covered: AXIS 2401+ Video Server Release date: 2003-09-22 Release type: Production Firmware version: 3.02 File name: 2401p_302.bin Previous release: 3.01 --------------------------------------------------------------------- UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS ==================== 1. Ensure that active applications (e.g. event based or continuous video transmission from the AXIS Video Server) are disabled prior to initiating the upgrade. 2. Be sure to take a careful note of your application/layout and other settings, prior to upgrading, since these settings will be lost during the upgrade. 3. You must be at the command prompt and in the directory that contains the upgrade file. Example: C:\Axis\2401p\3_02> 4. From the command prompt, open an FTP connection to the unit you wish to upgrade. (Do not use Windows-based FTP-programs for this purpose - use only command line FTP programs!) 5. 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. 6. Change to binary transfer mode by typing "bin" and press enter. 7. Type "hash" and press enter. (This will allow you to see how the upgrade progresses) 8. Type the command "put XXX.bin flash_all" where XXX.bin is the name of the upgrade file you downloaded (and maybe decompressed) from our site. This file is typically named 2401p_302.bin or axis2401p.bin. 9. Wait for the flash load to complete which may take 1-10 minutes. 10. After the upgrade has completed, the unit will automatically restart and show a steady green on the Power and Status LED:s and flashing green on the Network LED. 11. Reconfigure your settings. RELEASE 3.02 ============ New in 3.02: ============= 3.02:1 Implementation of new image resolution, 2CIF (704x240 - NTSC or 704x288 - PAL). 2CIF has same number of lines as CIF, but twice the number of pixels per line. The image is re-scaled to 4CIF in the viewer, which eliminates interlace problems, but reduces image quality when compared to 4CIF. 3.02:2 Half-size image option now available in the Application wizard. Corrections in 3.02 since 3.01 ============================== 3.02:3 When using an alarm application for all four alarm inputs for long periods, the alarm application could stop working. This problem is now corrected. 3.02:4 Robustness of the FTP application is improved 3.02:5 The delta time between images no longer wraps around one second. The problem appeared when there was more than one second between images. 3.02:6 A Time stamp is added in the jpeg header. Application developer / scripting in 3.02 ========================================= 3.02:7 Ash shell is used for embedded scripting (in AXIS 2401 Video Server, mish shell was used) The following HTTP API groups are supported by the AXIS 2401+. For more information please check the HTTP API document available at www.axis.com. Group Exceptions ===== ========== General Get property Jpeg/Mjpg PTZ Audio Serial port I/O control PPP Known limitations: ================== L1. The text overlay will be distorted in 2CIF due to the fact that every other line in the image is removed and re-scaled.
