Obtaining the Updated Software

Over the Internet You may wish to check the Axis WWW Home Page at http://www.axis.com/, where you can down-load the latest versions of the software utilities.

Anonymous FTP Files and information are also available through anonymous ftp: log in

to ftp.axis.com and go to the /pub/axis directory.

Flash Memory The AXIS 540/640 server software is stored in Flash Memory. This memory is provided by a silicon chip that like any other ROM device, retains data content even after power is removed.However, Flash Memory is unique because it allows its data to be erased and re-written. This means that you can install software updates for your AXIS 540/640 as soon as they become available, without having to replace any parts. The new software is simply loaded into the AXIS 540/640 over the network.
