AXIS 1620 User’s Manual Section 11: Upgrading the Software
141
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. 1620_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 1620 with an IP address, as described in
Assigning an IP address, on page 26, before you can use this upgrading
method.
Follow the procedures below to upgrade your AXIS 1620:
1. Log in to the AXIS 1620 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.
1620_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.
Note: ❏ If the upgrading process fails, just repeat the instructions
presented above.
❏ If you lose contact with the AXIS 1620 after an upgrading failure,
just restart the AXIS 1620 to restore contact.
❏ Should the network diode flash at half second intervals, the AXIS
1620 cannot process any print jobs. In order to leave this state,
you must repeat the instructions presented above.
