FIRMWARE UPLOAD
Units have flash EPROMs for firmware upgrades in the field. These upgrades can be done directly from the web browser.
Do the following to upload firmware using the web browser.
1. Obtain the latest PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system firmware from Pelco (http://www.pelco.com).
2. Use the browser to select the General Settings configuration page of your unit.
3. Use the Browse button in the Software upload field to select the correct new firmware file.
4. Click the Upload button. The Upload progress field shows how the upload is proceeding.
5. After about 30 seconds you should get a feedback message from the connected unit.
6. The message “upload complete – WAIT” confirms the correct upload of the new firmware, which is now being installed.
WARNING: Do not disconnect power to the unit for any reason while firmware is being installed. Disrupting the cycle will damage
the flash EPROM. If this occurs, you will have to return the unit for repair.
The unit automatically restarts when a successful upload is completed.
However, if the LED IN flashes on conclusion, the upload has been unsuccessful and must be restarted. To do so: in the browser’s
address field behind the unit’s IP address, enter /main.htm. For example, 192.168.0.12/main.htm. Restart the upload process.
7. If you try to upload an invalid firmware file, you will get the message “Upload Failed.”
8. If you revisit the General Settings configuration page after the firmware is uploaded successfully, you will see the message “New
Firmware Installed.”
CONFIGURATION DOWNLOAD
This feature, located on the General Settings configuration page, lets you save the current configuration of the PelcoNet NET4001A
transmission system to a PC file.
Do the following:
1. Use the browser to select the General Settings configuration page of your unit.
2. Click the Download button in the Configuration download field.
3. Save the file to the local hard drive. Use the default name and click the Save button. (Do not rename the configuration file when you
save it; the NET4001A will not be able to upload the file later.)
4. Click the Close button.
You now have a configuration file to upload into a different PelcoNet unit.
CONFIGURATION UPLOAD
This feature copies a configuration file from a PC to the NET4001A.

2. Enter the name of the file containing the configuration, or locate it using the Browse button in the Configuration upload field.
3. Click the Upload button to overwrite the configuration with the configuration stored in the named file.
4. Wait for the General Settings page to refresh on its own. The configuration now matches that of the file created in the
