Upgrade instructions:
         
Important: 


1.  Ensure that active applications (e.g. event-based or continuous 
    video transmission are disabled prior to initiating the upgrade.

2.  You must be at the command prompt and in the directory that 
    contains the upgrade file.
    Example: C:\Axis\230\3_11>

3.  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!)

4.  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.

5.  Change to binary transfer mode by typing "bin" and press enter.

6.  Type "hash" and press enter. (This will allow you to see how the 
    upgrade progresses)

7.  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 230_311.bin or axis230.bin. 

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