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.bin, e.g. 5470e.bin for software release 6.30. You can use
any of the previously mentioned methods to obtain the new file.
You must assign the AXIS 5470e with an IP address, as described in
Assigning an IP address, on page 20, before you can use this
upgrading method.
Follow the procedures below to upgrade the AXIS 5470e:
Notes:
1. Log in to the AXIS 5470e 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.
5470e.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.
• If the upgrading process fails, simply try again.
• If you lose contact with the AXIS 5470e after an upgrading failure, just
restart the print server by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply
to restore contact.
• If the network diode flashes at half second intervals, the AXIS 5470e cannot
process any print jobs. To leave this state you must repeat the instructions
below.
