Troubleshooting
Checking the Firmware
Firmware is software that determines the functionality of the AXIS
216FD/FD-V/MFD/MFD-V. One of your first actions when troubleshooting a problem
should be to check the currently installed firmware version. The latest version may contain
a correction that fixes your particular problem. The current firmware version in your
camera can be seen on the page Setup > Basic Configuration.
Upgrading the Firmware
When you upgrade the firmware with a file from the Axis Web site, your camera will
receive the latest available functionality. Always read the upgrade instructions and release
notes available with each new release, before updating the firmware.
Note:
Preconfigured and customized settings will be saved when the firmware is upgraded (providing the fea-
tures are available in the new firmware) although this is not guaranteed by Axis Communications. Always
read the instructions and release notes available with each new release, before upgrading the firmware.
1. Save the firmware
file to your
computer. The latest
version of the
firmware is available
free of charge from
the Axis Web site at
www.axis.com/techs
up
2. Go to Setup >

Notes:

camera, even if you suspect the upgrade has failed.

user.
•The AXIS Camera Management software tool can be used for multiple upgrades. Please see the
