To upgrade over the network you will need the following:

•The file with the new AXIS 700 software. The name of the file is of the form product-version.bin, i.e. 700_1_14.bin for

software release 1.14 of the AXIS 700.

• A computer on the network with TCP/IP and FTP.

Follow these steps to upgrade the AXIS 700 software:

1.	Log in to the AXIS 700 with the command ftp <IP address>
	where <IP address> is the name or IP address assigned to the
	AXIS 700.
2.	You will be prompted for user id and password. Use the user id root
	which has the default password pass.
3.	Issue the command bin to change to binary transfer mode.
4.	Issue the command put <software name> flash where
	<software name> is the name of the new software, e.g. 700-
	1_14.bin.
5.	During the flash load, the AXIS 700 LCD will display the message
	“Upgrading server” and a progress bar. Wait for the flash load to
	finish. This normally takes 1 to 4 minutes. The unit will then
	automatically restart with the new AXIS 700 software.
k	Be careful not to interrupt the file transfer. If the transfer is
	interrupted, the AXIS 700 may have to be re-initialized by your
	dealer.

6.Log out using the command quit, bye or exit depending on your FTP version.

vο If you are using a window-based FTP client application such as Ws_ftp or Fetch, you must rename the new file <software file> to flash before downloading.

οIt is recommended to upload the current configuration before upgrading. See “Configuring using FTP” on page 51.
