After you upload a configuration file to the IP camera, the IP camera restarts

If you upload configuration from another IP camera that is active in your

 

 

network, make sure to configure this IP camera with a name, description, and

 

 

unique IP address (if not obtained through DHCP). To change these options,

 

 

see the “Basic Settings Window” section on page 3-16and the “IP

 

 

Addressing Window” section on page 3-17.

 

 

A configuration file that you upload includes the passwords that are

 

 

configured for the administrator and for users. If you change any passwords

 

 

after saving the configuration file, be aware that uploading the file overwrites

 

 

the new passwords with the saved ones.

 

 

 

Firmware Settings Window

The Firmware Settings window lets you view information about the firmware that is installed on the IP camera and upgrade the firmware.

Before you upgrade firmware, download the firmware file to a PC that is accessible on your network and unzip the file if it is zipped. To download firmware, go to this web page:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6918/Products_Sub_Category_Home.html

After you upgrade firmware, the IP camera restarts automatically. It retains all configuration information.

To display the Firmware Settings window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-5, click Administration, then click Firmware.

If you change any options in this window, you must click the Save Settings button to save the changes. If you do not click this button, changes are not retained when you exit the window. Save Settings appears at the bottom of the window. You may need to scroll down to it.
