5.1 Upgrading System Firmware
GeoVision will periodically release updated firmware on the website. The new firmware can
be simply loaded into the GV-Smart Box over LAN or by using the IP Device Utility included
in the Software DVD.
Important Notes before You Start
Before you start updating the firmware, please read these important notes:
1. While the firmware is being updated,
A. the power supply must not be interrupted, and
B. do not unplug the Ethernet cable if the cable is the source of power supply (Power
over Ethernet or PoE supported).
2. Do not turn the power off for 5 minutes after the firmware is updated.
3. If you use the IP Device Utility for firmware upgrade, the computer used to upgrade
firmware must be under the same IP and subnet sequence of the GV-Smart Box.
WARNING:
Interruption of power supply during updating causes not only update failures
but also damages to your GV-Smart Box. In this case, please contact your sales
representative and send your device back to GeoVision for repair.
