Refer to “Using AXIS ThinWizard software for Print Server Management” on page 94, for more information about AXIS ThinWizard.

Upgrading using FTP To upgrade over the network using FTP you will need a file with the new print server firmware. The name of this file is in the form product_version.bin.

You can use any of the previously mentioned methods to obtain the new file. You must assign an IP address to the AXIS 540+/AXIS 560before you can use this upgrading method.

Caution!

Be careful not to interrupt the file transfer. If the transfer is interrupted, the AXIS 540+/AXIS 560 may have to be re-initialized by your dealer.

The objective of this example is to upgrade a print server with firmware version 6.41 to firmware version 6.43.

This description from Windows XP uses the following examples:

•Print server model: AXIS 540+

•IP address of print server: 10.13.4.105

•New firmware version name: 540p_v2_6_43.bin

•Location of firmware and upgrade procedure: C:\Axis (Create a new directory named e.g. ‘Axis’ on your hard drive and download the firmware to that location).
