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 is typically named 205_405.bin or axis205.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. During this step, all LEDs will be off. 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\205\4_05> 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. This file is typically named 205_405.bin or axis205.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. Step 3, Reboot: The FTP session terminates and the system restarts automatically. During this step, all LEDs will be off. Step 4, Reconfiguration: The new firmware settings are configured to match the previous settings. The Status LED will be amber during this step. 8.

RELEASE 3.13.2 ============== Corrections in 3.13.2 since 3.13 ================================ 3.13.2:01 Corrected several problems with the AXIS 2191 Audio support. The client did not reconnect to the streams when a timeout occured, resulting in audio loss. 3.13.2:02 Streaming video through the HTTP API using req_fps and duration concurrently locked all other requests to streams. This was especially noticable when using Axis Camera Station. 3.13.2:03 Passive FTP did not work through NAT. This is now fixed 3.13.2:04 Corrected several instances of incompliance with the HTTP RFCs (mainly in the headers information) 3.13.2:05 PPP can now connect after a given number of ring signal. To achieve this set the root.Modem.ConnectRings to the desired value. 3.13.2:06 Serial communication through TCP sockets could get corrupted data on read requests if the answer was empty. This has been corrected 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. Application Developer Information ================================= The following HTTP API groups are supported by the AXIS 2401+. For more information please refer to the HTTP API specification, version 1, available at www.axis.com.
