     ----------------------------------------------------------------

     Release description:

     1. A bug in the axinstall script has been corrected. This bug prevented
        axinstall from working in release 4.10.

     2. If the proms for this product are installed in any other Axis NPS
        product (or AX-5), an error message will be displayed on the LEDs
        (or on the AX-5 LCD).


     Recommendation:

     - This release should be substituted for 4.10 in production. A simple
       sed command run at the customer site will suffice for existing
       products with release 4.10 already in circulation.

     Best regards

     AXIS COMMUNICATIONS AB

     The numbers below refer to items listed on page 1.

     1.  A bug in the axinstall script in release 4.10 caused axinstall to
         fail to recognize Axis print servers on the network. This has been
         fixed in the axinstall script for this release. The axinstall
         script will now recognize Axis NPS or AX-5 print servers of any
         version on the network.

     2.  If the proms for this product are installed in any other Axis NPS
         product (or AX-5), an error message will be displayed on the LEDs
         (or on the AX-5 LCD).

         The error is indicated by the STATUS LED flashing, and the PRINTER
         and PACKET LEDs flashing alternately.
