Updating the Axis
CD-ROM server
Flash Memory
You can carry out an update to your Flash memory over the network
using FTP on a TCP/IP network.
To upgrade over the network you will need the following:
•
The file with the new print server software. The name of this file
is on the form product.version, e.g. 850.210 for the software
release 2.10 for the AXIS 850 CD-ROM server. Retrieve the
updated file from Axis (http://www.axis.se/) or your local
distributor.
•
A computer on the network with TCP/IP and a FTP.
•
The CD-ROM server must also be installed on the network with
TCP/IP as described in the section 3, Network Configuration.
Follow the steps below to upgrade the print server software:
1. Log in to the Axis CD-ROM server with the command
ftp
<host name>
where
<host name>
is the name assigned in
your system host table.
2. You will be prompted for user id and password. Use the user id
root
, which has the default password
pass
(
root
is the user id
with the highest priority).
3. Issue the command
binary
to change to binary transfer mode.
4. Issue the command
put <software name> flash
where
<software name>
is the name of the new CD-ROM server
software, e.g.

minutes. The unit will then automatically restart with the new
print server software.

interuppted the CD-ROM server may have to be re-initialized by
your dealer.
