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_12>
4. 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!)
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_312.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.
RELEASE 3.12
============
New in 3.12:
============
3.12:1 Added support for Dennard Type 2050 Dome. Please note that an
RS232 to RS485 converter (e.g. B&B Electronics Model 485PTBR)
is necessary to have for connecting this dome to the AXIS 2400+.
For connection schemes see the Dennard PTZ device web page at:
http://www.axis.com/techsup/cam_servers/ptz/index.htm
3.12:2 Added support for the following PTZ devices:
* Daiwa DMP23-h2
* Sony EVI-D70
* JVC dome TK-C676
3.12:3 The JPEG header has been changed to match the one delivered by
other Axis products.
3.12:4 Third party software licenses text added to the product's web
interface.
3.12:5 A warning message is now displayed when the maximum number of
preset positions (20) is reached.
Corrections in 3.12:
====================
3.12:6 When the AXIS 2400+ was set to use the G721 audio standard used
in earlier releases (G723 is the new default) and multipart
HTTP message mode, there was no audio to or from the audio
module. This problem is now corrected.
3.12:7 Several issues when using the AXIS 2191 audio module have been
corrected. Occasionally the sound stopped after a while, or it
was corrupted.
3.12:8 The buffers no longer stop recording images when the time is
changed backwards.
3.12:9 Removed modulation setting from the wizard
3.12:10 Image uploads to the FTP server's root ('/' path) are now
handled correctly.
3.12:11 Image uploads when using an empty FTP path are now handled
correctly. I.e., the images sent to the FTP server will be
uploaded to the user's home directory.
Application developer / scripting in 3.12
=========================================
3.12:12 Ash shell is used for embedded scripting (in AXIS 2400 Video
Server, mish shell was used)
The following HTTP API groups are supported by the AXIS 2400+. For
