Upgrading From V1.8.6 To V2.1.9 - GE IDP-1111 User Manual

You are ready to proceed with the upgrade after you see live video again on the security
monitor screen and no message boxes. If you have any question about the success of preparing
the existing software, wait for at least 10 minutes before assuming that the procedure failed
and before cycling the power to restart the dome.

Upgrading from v1.8.6 to v2.1.9

Make sure that you have upgraded the software from v1.8.5 to v1.8.6 (see
page 99) before upgrading the software to v2.1.9.
After a successful upgrade to v2.1.9, the camera assembly will reboot with a new default IP address, which is
192.168.1.2. Also, the IP address will now be stored in the AHC, not in the camera. Regardless of what IP
address is stored in the AHC, a camera assembly will use the IP address of the housing that it is placed into.
To upgrade the software to v2.1.9, perform the same steps as in
with these substitutions:
• At step 1, copy the upgrade file named v.2.1.9.ge to your computer, if you have not already done so.
• At step 9, enter the upgrade file named v.2.1.9.ge into the Legend web-based firmware update page.
• At step 10, ensure that the upgrade process is not interrupted. The unit is not safe to interact with until
after the system is successfully rebooted. Wait until after you see the splash and color bar screens on
the security monitor screen, and live video is again showing normally.
You may see the color bars for up to five minutes. Longer, if your dome contains extensive
custom programming. Do nothing until you see live video again.
Only after 10 minutes have elapsed without a successful upgrade should you cycle power to
restart the dome.
After you click Send File, the upgrade can continue processing in one of two ways:
• In most cases, a notice will appear on the security monitor screen saying that the upgrade is in
progress, while another message appears on the computer screen in Internet Explorer saying that the
upgrade is proceeding successfully.
• In some cases, the camera may not have enough memory to process the upgrade files. In which case, a
camera memory low message is displayed. If you get this message, the camera will automatically
reboot itself. When it is again displaying live video, you will need to go back to the address box in
Internet Explorer and reselect the dome's IP address with the correct file extension, which should now
appear beside the IP address. The upgrade should process normally after selecting the upgrade file this
second time.
After the upgrade is successful, confirm the resulting IP address. If you are using a dome stand to upgrade all
of your domes, you may have to reset the IP addresses.
