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

1.  Ensure that active applications (e.g. event based or continuous 
    video transmission from the AXIS Video Server) are disabled prior 
    to initiating the upgrade.

2.  Be sure to take a careful note of your application/layout and other 
    settings, prior to upgrading, since these settings will be 
    lost during the upgrade. 

3.  You must be at the command prompt and in the directory that 
    contains the upgrade file.
    Example: C:\Axis\2400p\3_13>

4.  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!)

5.  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.

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" where XXX.bin is the name of the 
    upgrade file you downloaded (and maybe decompressed) from our site. This 
    file is typically named 2400p_313.bin or axis2400p.bin. 

9.  Wait for the flash load to complete which may take 1-10 minutes.
   
10. After the upgrade has completed, the unit will automatically
    restart and show a steady green on the Power and Status LED:s 
    and flashing green on the Network LED. 

11. Reconfigure your settings.
