Updating the Flash Memory
To upgrade over the network you will need the following:
• The file with the new AXIS 700 software. The name of the file is
of the form
product-version.bin
, i.e.
700-1_10.bin
for
software release 1.10 of the AXIS 700.
• A computer on the network with TCP/IP and FTP.
Follow these steps to upgrade the AXIS 700 software:
1. Log in to the AXIS 700 with the command
ftp <Internet
address>
where
<Internet address>
is the name or Internet
address assigned to the AXIS 700.
2. You will be prompted for user id and password. Use the user id
root
which has the default password
pass.
3. Issue the command
bin
to change to binary transfer mode.
4. Issue the command
put <software name> flash
where
<software name>
is the name of the new software, e.g.
700-
1_10.bin
.
5. During the flash load, the AXIS 700 LCD will display the message
“
Upgrading server
” and a progress bar. Wait for the flash load to
finish. This normally takes 1 to 4 minutes. The unit will then
automatically restart with the new AXIS 700 software.
Caution!
Be careful not to interrupt the file transfer. If the transfer is
interrupted, the AXIS 700 may have to be re-initialized by your
dealer.
6. Log out using the command
quit
,
bye
or
exit
depending on your
FTP version.
Notes:
If you are using a window-based FTP client application such as
Ws_ftp or Fetch, you must rename the new file
<software
file>
to
flash
before downloading.
