Use the supplied Windows Script File when AutoVISION completes a MicroHAWK MV name change but the unit retains its previous name after rebooting. The utility connects through the Windows Telnet Client, runs the supported name-update command, and resets the unit.

Identify the AutoVISION Naming Failure

This workaround applies when AutoVISION appears to update the MicroHAWK MV unit name, but the previous name remains after the unit reboots. The evidence does not identify affected firmware versions or a root cause, so do not treat the behavior as firmware-specific.

Prepare the Windows Script

Requirement Required state
Windows Telnet Client Enabled before running the script
Script file Remove the .txt extension so the file ends in .wsf
Connection input MicroHAWK IP address
Configuration input New MicroHAWK name

The procedure depends on the supplied .wsf utility. The evidence does not provide the script contents, so do not recreate or modify its internal commands from this procedure alone.

Update and Verify the Unit Name

  1. Enable the Windows Telnet Client.
  2. Remove .txt from the supplied script filename, leaving the .wsf extension.
  3. Run the .wsf file.
  4. Enter the MicroHAWK IP address when prompted, then click OK.
  5. Enter the new MicroHAWK name when prompted, then click OK.
  6. Allow the script to execute BP_UpdateCameraName.
  7. When the “Thank you” message appears, click OK. The script resets the unit and closes the command prompt.
  8. After the reset completes, confirm that the unit now reports the new name instead of the previous name.

If the previous name remains, verify that Telnet Client was enabled and that the IP address and requested name were entered correctly before repeating the documented procedure. No additional recovery command is established by the available evidence.

FAQ

Why does my MicroHAWK MV keep its old name after an AutoVISION reboot?

An occasional AutoVISION naming issue can leave the previous name in place after rebooting. Use the supplied .wsf utility to execute BP_UpdateCameraName and reset the unit.

What Windows feature must be enabled before running the MicroHAWK naming script?

Enable the Windows Telnet Client before running the script. The utility relies on it to perform the update.

How do I run the supplied MicroHAWK MV name-change file?

Remove the .txt extension so the file ends in .wsf, run it, and enter the MicroHAWK IP address and new name when prompted. Click OK at the final message so the utility can reset the unit and close the command prompt.
