Upgrading from v1.8.5 to v1.8.6
To upgrade the software from v1.8.5 to v1.8.6, do the following:
CAUTION:
DO NOT interrupt the upgrade process until it has completed. Don't use the keypad, don't break the network
connection, and don't cycle the power to the dome.
CAUTION:
When flashing software upgrades to the dome over a standard IP network via the dome's Ethernet connection,
ensure that the network is secured from unauthorized access. Consider connecting the Ethernet cable only
when you are flashing the dome, unless you have the dome connected to a secure, isolated network.
1. Download the filename v.1.8.6.gz from
time also download v2.1.9.ge to have it readily available.
2. If possible, set up your computer and video monitor near each other so that you can view all upgrade
messaging.
CAUTION:
Do not use the TFTP programming interface option from the Firmware Update feature of the
System menu for this software upgrade. This upgrade will be removing that option.
3. Connect a computer (laptop or desktop) to the Ethernet connection on the housing board in the housing.
•
Use a crossover cable if you are connecting the computer directly to the dome.
•
Use a standard Ethernet cable if you are connecting the computer to the dome through a
hub device.
4. Make sure that the computer you are using has the same IP subnet and the same IP range as the dome.
The default addresses are:
•
IP for domes: 192.168.208.XXX, where XXX is the site number (or camera address) of the dome.
•
Subnet mask for domes: 255.255.255.0.

asked to log on to the dome. See Figure 61 on page 100.

You need to type in the user name, which is Installer, with a capital letter I.
