AXIS 231D/232D - Troubleshooting
Emergency Recovery Procedure
If power or the network connection to the AXIS 231D/232D is lost during the upgrade, the
process will fail and the unit will become unresponsive. A flashing red Network LED
indicates a failed upgrade. To recover the unit, follow the steps below. The serial number is
found on the label on the product casing.
1. Unix/Linux - From the command line, type the following:
arp -s <IP address of AXIS 231D/232D> <Serial number> temp
ping -s 408 <IP address of AXIS 231D/232D>
Windows - From a command/DOS prompt, type the following:
arp -s <IP address of AXIS 231D/232D> <Serial number>
ping -l 408 -t <IP address of AXIS 231D/232D>
Note:
the ping -l command is the lower-case letter (L)
2. If the unit does not reply within a few seconds, restart it and wait for a reply. Press
CTRL+C to stop Ping.
3. Open a browser and type in the AXIS 231D/232D’s IP address. In the page that appears,
use the Browse button to select the upgrade file to use, e.g. axis231d.bin or
axis232d.bin. Then click the Load button to restart the upgrade process.
4. After the upgrade has completed (1-10 minutes), the unit will automatically restart and
show a steady green on the Power LED and flashing green or amber on the Network
LED.
5. Reinstall the AXIS 231D/232D.
If the emergency recovery procedure does not get the AXIS 231D/232D up and running
again, please contact Axis support at www.axis.com/techsup/
