Note:
Be careful not to interrupt the upgrade process. If the upgrade is interrupted, try again. If this fails,
the AXIS 7100 may have to be re-initialized by your dealer.
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.
