Appendix C Updating the Software
Software Updates
The AXIS 700 software stored in Flash memory
can easily be updated
over the network. All software updates are free of charge.
Checking if a Software
Update is available
Contact your dealer to check if there has been any new issues of the
software. You should have your present version numbers ready to
compare against the latest software issues from Axis.
Alternatively, go to the Axis WWW Home Page at
http://www.axis.com/, where you can download the latest versions of
the software. You can also get files and information through
anonymous log in to ftp.axis.com and go to the /pub/axis/ftp
directory.
A link to the Axis WWW Home Page is available on the AXIS 700
Home Page.
Updating the
Flash Memory
You can carry out an update to your Flash memory over the network
using FTP.
Note:
❏ There is also the option to update the Flash memory, using the
flash loading port. For more information on this option, please
contact your local dealer or distributor.
Flash Memory The software that runs your AXIS 700
is stored in Flash
memory.
This is a memory chip that, like ordinary
ROM memory, keeps its contents even when the power
is turned off. What makes it unique is the possibility to
erase its contents and write new data to it. This means
that when software updates are available for your
AXIS
700
, you can make use of them without having to replace
any parts. The new software is simply loaded into the
AXIS 700
over the network.
