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

1.  Ensure that active applications (e.g. event based or continuous 
    video transmission from the AXIS Panorama PTZ) 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\Panorama\2_34>

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_all" where XXX.bin is the name of the 
    upgrade file you downloaded (and maybe decompressed) from our site,
    it is typically named Panorama_234.bin or axisPanorama.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.


If you experience problems when performing the flash upgrade, see the emergency 
recovery procedure below.

============

News in 2.34
============

2.34:1  A calibration capability has been added for fine-tuning of the image 
        alignment in the Panorama view. The calibration is available from the 
        Panorama general settings page.

2.34:2  AXIS products no longer synchronize simultaneously with the NTP 
        server when e.g. switching to daylight saving time.

2.34:3  The Real Time Clock is reinitiated at reboot, which means no more 
        clock problems after a battery replacement.

==============================

2.34:4  The modem settings have been removed since modem is unsupported for the 
        AXIS Panorama PTZ.

2.34:5  The application and installation wizards have been removed since most of 
        those settings involved the unsupported modem connection.

2.34:8  The clock drift has been significantly reduced.

        have been disabled. 

2.34:10 Alarm buffers configured without a pre-buffer now work correctly, the 
        frame rate is no longer altered.

2.34:11 The application handling when using the option "When the input is high" 
        is now more robust. 

2.34:12 The body message when sending email messages is now corrected, the 
        product access line is no longer duplicated.

2.34:13 The realm field stated in the HTTP header is now correct.
