Easy way via Upgrade Wizard
Run the Upgrade Wizard included in the product CDROM and proceed by the prompts. Refer to the user's
guide of Upgrade Wizard for details.
Alternative via FTP
1. Decompress the compressed file in a local folder. A file named FLASH.BIN should appear.
2. Use the FTP program and change the working directory to the local folder where FLASH.BIN exists.
3. Connect to VisualServer with user name as “root” and password.
4. Use the PUT command to upload FLASH.BIN to VisualServer. The file size is near 1.5 mega bytes. It
will take approximately 2 seconds in a local network, 2 minutes by null modem connection or 6 minutes
by modem, but still subject to user's network.
5. After upload is complete, close the connection.
6. If the received FLASH.BIN is checked without error, VisualServer will update the software in Flash
memory and restart automatically. When VisualServer starts writing firmware, both status LED indicators
will stay on until system restarts. It takes about 30 to 40 seconds. User must keep the power stable during
the update process. After the system restarts, VisualServer may need installation depending on whether
the “Reset network at next boot” option is enabled or not. After VisualServer boots up, reload the web
page in the browser.
If power fails during the software upgrade, the program in the memory of NetworKam may be
destroyed permanently. If NetworKam cannot restart properly, ask the dealer for technical service.
