46 AXIS 221 - Troubleshooting
Emergency Recovery Procedure
If power to the AXIS 221 is lost during the upgrade, the process will fail and the unit will
become unresponsive. A flashing red Status LED indicates a failed upgrade. To recover the
unit, follow the steps below. The serial number is found on the label attached to the bottom
of the camera.
1. Unix/Linux - From the command line, type the following:
arp -s <IP address of AXIS 221> <Serial number> temp
ping -s 408 <IP address of camera>
Windows - From a command/DOS prompt, type the following:
arp -s <IP address of AXIS 221> <Serial number>
ping -l 408 -t <IP address of camera>
2. If the unit does not reply within a few seconds, restart it and wait for a reply. Press
CTRL+C to stop Ping.
3. Open a browser and type in the camera’s IP address. In the page that appears, use the
Browse button to select the upgrade file to use, e.g. axis221.bin. Then click the Load
button to restart the upgrade process.
4. After the upgrade has completed (1-10 minutes), the unit will automatically restart and
show a steady green on the Power and Status LEDs and flashing green or amber on the
Network LED.
5. Reinstall the AXIS 221.
