Flashing the OS

Each Axon controller contains Debian-based OS and is supplied with a pre-installed Mervis software solution by default. The OS can be however reflashed for any other compatible software you wish to install.

1. Download the zipped Axon OS image and unzip it into a new folder on your PC
2. Press and hold the reset button located next to the upper row of connector labels
3. Power up the controller. The Axon will boot to the service mode (indicated by alternate flashing of lower and upper rows of LEDs). Release the reset button
4. Drag and drop the archive.swu file from the OS image folder to the Software update dialogue window in the service web interface
5. Wait until the process finishes - its progress can be monitored in the Messages dialogue window
6. Reboot the Axon
