Upgrading the Software
Theoretically, there are two methods with which to update to the
AXIS 200 Flash memory:
• over the network using FTP or
• through the parallel port LPT1.
Normally, AXIS 200 should upgraded the over the network using
FTP. However, if for some reason the AXIS 200 becomes unavailable
over the network, it may be necessary to reload the software through
the parallel port.
Note:
❏ Updating instructions are also supplied with the software update.
Upgrading using FTP
Having obtained the upgrade software, install it into the AXIS 200 by
following the instructions below:
1. Reset the AXIS 200 by powering it off and then on again.
2. Start an FTP session and log in to the AXIS 200 as
root

3. Set FTP to binary mode using the command
bin
.
4. Download the new camera server software to you AXIS 200 by
using the command
