Appendix C - Updating the Software
The AXIS 2110 camera software is stored in Flash memory. This memory is provided by a
silicon chip that, just like any other ROM device, retains data content even after power is
removed. Flash memory is unique because it allows its data to be erased and re-written.
This means you can install software updates for your AXIS 2110 as they become available
- without having to replace any parts. New software can be simply loaded into the AXIS
2110 over the network.
Obtaining Updated Software
The latest version of the AXIS 2110 software is available free of charge from the Axis
Website at www.axis.com, or from your local distributor.
Upgrading the Software
The AXIS 2110 Flash memory is upgraded over the network using FTP. See the detailed
instructions supplied with each new software release.
Important!
Always read the upgrade instructions available with each new release, prior to upgrading your soft-
ware.
Downloading normally takes between 30 seconds and 10 minutes, although it can take longer. After
starting the download, you should always
wait at least 20 minutes before power cycling the AXIS
2110 - even if you suspect the download procedure has failed.
In controlled environments, flash memory upgrades provide a very safe method for updating soft-
ware. However, flash products can become damaged if the upgrade operation is not performed cor-
rectly. Your dealer reserves the right to charge for any repair attributable to faulty upgrading by the
user.
