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

1.  Ensure that active applications (e.g. continuous video transmission 
    from the AXIS Video Server) 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\2411\3_13>

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 2411_313.bin or 
    AXIS2411.bin. 

8.  Wait for the flash load to complete which may take 1-10 minutes.
   
9.  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.
