- How to upgrade to Axis 2100 firmware from 2.1.2 to 2.3.3.
- Resolution
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\
- 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!)
- 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.
- Change to binary transfer mode by typing bin and push the enter key.
- Type hash and push the enter key. This will allow you to see the flash in progress.
- 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.
- Wait for the flash load to finish, this may take 1-10 minutes.
- Your unit will automatically restart using the new firmware.
- Reconfigure your settings.
