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

The firmware can be upgraded using HTTP or FTP.

HTTP
====

1.  Download the upgrade file to a directory that is accessible from your local
    computer.

2.  Go to the product's start page (e.g. http://192.168.0.90).

3.  Click the Setup link and log in as root (or any other user with 
    Administrator privileges) if you are prompted for a username and password. 
    You must be logged in as an Administrator to upgrade the unit.

4.  Click System Options in the menu to the left.

5.  Click Maintenance.

6.  Click the Browse button in the Upgrade Server section.

7.  Select the upgrade file you downloaded (and maybe decompressed) from our 
    site. This file is typically named 205_403.bin or axis205.bin. 

8.  Click the Open button.

9.  Click the Upgrade button in the Upgrade Server section.

10. Wait for the flash load to complete, which may take 3-10 minutes. The
    upgrade procedure is in four steps:
    Step 1, Shut down:
      Running applications are shut down and active connections are terminated.
    Step 2, Uploading firmware:
      The old firmware will be erased and the new firmware will be saved.
      During this step, the Status LEDs will be amber. After a while the 
      progress of the upgrade will be displayed in the web browser.
    Step 3, Reboot:
      The system restarts automatically. During this step, all LEDs will be 
      off.
    Step 4, Reconfiguration:
      The new firmware settings are configured to match the previous settings. 
      The Status LEDs will be amber during this step.

11. After the upgrade has completed, the unit will automatically initiate the
    system, during which the Status LEDs blink amber. When initiation is
    complete and the system is ready for use, the Status LEDs will be green. 

FTP
===

1.  You must be at the command prompt and in the directory that contains the
    upgrade file.
    Example: C:\Axis\205\4_03>

2.  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!)

3.  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.

4.  Change to binary transfer mode by typing "bin" and press enter.

5.  Type "hash" and press enter. (This will allow you to see how the upgrade
    progresses)

6.  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 205_403.bin or axis205.bin. 

7.  Wait for the flash load to complete, which may take 3-10 minutes. The
    upgrade procedure is in four steps:
    Step 1, Shut down:
      Running applications are shut down and active connections are terminated.
    Step 2, Uploading firmware:
      The old firmware will be erased and the new firmware will be saved.
      During this step the Status LEDs will be amber.
    Step 3, Reboot:
      The FTP session terminates and the system restarts automatically. During 
      this step, all LEDs will be off.
    Step 4, Reconfiguration:
      The new firmware settings are configured to match the previous settings. 
      The Status LEDs will be amber during this step.

8.  After the upgrade has completed, the unit will automatically initiate the
    system, during which the Status LEDs blink amber. When initiation is
    complete and the system is ready for use, the Status LEDs will be green.

Known problems and limitations in version 4.03
==============================================

L1. The stream duration parameter (root.Image.I0.Stream.Duration) might not 
have the desired effect with some clients (e.g. when using the Java Applet 
with Internet Explorer). 

P1. When saving a snapshot image, some browsers (e.g. Mozilla) will fetch a 
new picture and the saved picture will not match the displayed snapshot.
