* Updating the Camera Software

 1. Download the file M1M_system_1_948.mpl or the file M1M_1_948.zip
    to your computer. If you downloaded the zip file, unzip it.

 2. Make sure that the file has been transferred completely. The table at the
    end contains the file size and checksums for the download files.

 3. Make sure that the camera fulfills the requirements listed above. Check
    the information under "Admin Menu > Hardware and Release Information" on the
    camera.

 4. Make sure that you are connected directly to the camera, without any proxy
    server in-between. Disable any proxy servers. Microsoft Internet Explorer:
    "Tools > Internet Options > Connections (tab) > Settings (in LAN Settings) >
    Proxy Server".

 5. Restart the camera.

 6. Log onto the camera as administrator, open "Admin Menu > Upload system
    software from local computer" and read the Important Notes. Select the file
    M1M_system_V1_945.mpl and start the upload.

    CAUTION:
       - Never disrupt the procedure while the camera is uploading or
         rewriting its flash memory. This may leave the camera operating
         system in an undefined state and prevent the camera from booting.

       - The upload procedure may take several minutes, and up to 30 minutes
         when using an ISDN connection.

       - The camera LEDs will show a rotating pattern while uploading and
         three LEDs will blink when the flash memory is being written.

       - During the procedure, the browser windows may not be updated
         properly.

 7. Upon completion of the upload, the camera will display a message. Read
    this message carefully.

 8. If the upload has finished successfully, restart the camera. If the upload
    was not successful, do not reboot the camera. Restart the upload process and
    wait until the upload has finished successfully.

 9. The settings of the camera will remain intact during and after the update.
    It is recommended, however, to reset certain parts of the configuration to
    the factory defaults, while keeping certain parts of the current
    configuration. If conflicts are detected while opening camera pages, warning
    messages will inform you about these conflicts.

    When resetting the configuration to factory defaults, the network, audio,
    and security settings should not be rest to factory defaults as this may
    render the camera unreachable.
