AXIS 5600 User’s Manual Section 11: Upgrading the Software
139
Upgrading over the
Network using FTP
To upgrade over the network using FTP you will need the file with the
new print server software. The name of this file is in the form
product_version.bin, e.g. 5600_600.bin for software release 6.00.
You can use any of the previously mentioned methods to obtain the
new file.
You must assign the AXIS 5600 with an IP address, as described in
Assigning an IP address, on page 25, before you can use this upgrading
method.
Follow the procedures below to upgrade the AXIS 5600:
Caution! ❏ Be careful not to interrupt the file transfer. If the transfer is
interrupted the AXIS 5600 may have to be re-initialized by your
dealer.
1. Log in to the AXIS 5600 with the command:
ftp <host name>, or ftp <IP address>
2. You will be prompted for user id and password. Use the user id
root, which has the default password pass.
3. Type the command:
binary
to change to binary transfer mode.
4. Type the command:
put <software name> FLASH
where <software name> is the name of the new print server
software, e.g.
5600_600.bin
5. Wait for the Flash loading operation to finish. This normally
takes 1 to 4 minutes. The unit automatically restarts with the new
print server software.
6. Log out using the command:
quit, bye or exit
depending on your FTP version.
