Troubleshooting

Checking the firmware

Firmware is software that determines the functionality of the AXIS 243Q Blade. When troubleshooting a problem, check the current version. The latest version may contain a correction that fixes your particular problem. The current firmware version in your AXIS 243Q Blade can be seen under Setup > Basic Configuration.

Important!

Please note that the AXIS 243Q Blade uses two different firmware types at the same time. The first of these is intended for video input 1, which includes features not supported by the other inputs (2,3, and 4). Please check that the correct firmware is loaded to the correct unit.

Upgrading the firmware

When you download firmware from the Axis Web site, your Axis product will receive the latest available functionality. Always read the upgrade instructions and release notes available with each new release, before updating the firmware. New firmware can be downloaded to the AXIS 243Q Blade over the network.

Note: Pre-configured and customized settings will be retained after the new firmware is installed (provided the features are available in the new firmware) although this is not guaranteed by Axis Communications.
