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

The firmware can be upgraded using HTTP or FTP.

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.  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.


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.
