How to upgrade...

Before you begin:

Download the upgrade file and save it on your hard disk.

The Camera server must be installed on an Ethernet the network using TCP/IP, see User’s manual or 
Quick Reference Guide. 

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

Important Note: You must be at the command prompt and in the directory that contains the Upgrade File.
Example: C:\Axis\2100\2_10\

  1. Open a ftp connection to the unit you want to upgrade, from a command prompt. 
    (I.e. you cannot use a ftp-program for this!) 
  2. 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 the unit. 
  3. Change to binary transfer mode by typing bin and push the enter key. 
  4. Type hash and push the enter key. This will allow you to see the flash in progress. 
  5. Type the command put XXX.YYY flash_all and push the enter key. Change XXX.YYY to the name of the file you have downloaded and decompressed. Typically 2100_210.bin or axis2100.bin. 
  6. Wait for the flash load to finish, this may take 1-10 minutes. 
  7. Your unit will automatically restart using the new firmware. 
  8. Reconfigure your settings.

Example:

C:\Axis\2100\2_10>ftp <ip of camera>
