Step Three – Run the User Interface Software
When you launch the user interface software (an icon is placed on your desktop), the analyzer will
automatically be listed in the OptiView Browser list as long as it is in the local network (broadcast domain).
Figure 7 shows a WAN connection where you will need to configure the remote PC IP address in the
Setup |
Remote
screen in order to see it in the OptiView Browser.
Note the
Local Host Software Revision
number. This number should match the
Firmware Revision
numbers
displayed for each analyzer. If the firmware revision displayed is a lower number than the local host software
revision number, select that analyzer and click on the update firmware button (right-most on the button
bar). The software will begin its update process of the firmware on the selected analyzer.
Note
The Connection type has to show “management port” for the update firmware
button to be enabled. You cannot update the analyzer’s firmware through a network
measurement interface, only through the Management Port.
Older OptiView Workgroup Analyzers running firmware less than version 5.2 can only
be updated to firmware version 4.09. A yellow triangle will appear next to analyzers
less than 4.09 but greater than 3.51 indicating they can be updated to 4.09. OptiView
Workgroup Analyzers running 3.51 or less firmware can not be updated.
You cannot update OptiView
TM
Integrated Network analyzers using this method. See the software update
procedure for OptiView
TM
Integrated Network analyzers in the analyzer Help.
Once the user interface software is finished flashing new firmware into your analyzer, the
Update
Complete
dialog box will be presented. Select
OK
and continue updating all of the OptiView
TM
Workgroup
Analyzers in this manner until all of the firmware revisions match the host software revision number.
