You can carry out an update to your AXIS 570/670 MIO Flash
Memory via the Flash loading port using the optional Flash loading
kit, or over the network using AXIS NetPilot™ on a NetWare
network.
Flash Memory The AXIS 570/670 MIO print server software is stored in Flash
Memory. This memory is provided by a silicon chip that like
any other ROM device, retains data content even after power is
removed. However, Flash Memory is unique because it allows
its data to be erased and re-written. This means that you can
install software updates for your AXIS 570/670 MIO as soon as
they become available, without having to replace any parts. The
new software is simply loaded into the AXIS 570/670 MIO over
the network.
