Upgrade instructions:
         
Important: 

0.  Upgrade to version 2.34 can only be done if version 2.12 or later 
    is installed. 

1.  Make sure that "active applications" such as continuous transmission 
    of images via ftp or smtp from the Axis Network Camera  are disabled 
    prior to initiating upgrade.

2.  Make sure to take notes of your application/layout and other 
    settings prior to upgrading since these settings will be 
    lost during upgrade. 

3.  You must be at the command prompt and in the directory that 
    contains the Upgrade File.
    Example: C:\Axis\2130\2_34>

4.  Open an ftp connection to the unit you want to upgrade from a 
    command prompt.
    (Do not use a "windows" based ftp-program for this, use only command 
    line ftp programs!)

5.  Login as root. The default password for the root user is "pass" 
    unless changed by the user. You must be logged in as the root user 
    to flash 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 replaced
    by the name of the name of upgrade file you downloaded 
    (and maybe decompressed) from our site, it is typically named 
    2130_234.bin or axis2130.bin. 

9.  Wait for the flash load to finish, this may take 1-10 minutes.
    Always wait at least 10 minutes for the flash upgrade to complete.

10. Your unit will automatically restart using the new firmware. 

11. Reconfigure your settings.
