If You Need to Create an FTP Site
If you do not have an FTP site or wish to install a separate FTP site for upgrades, Viavi
supplies a free-ware FTP application. To install the FTP software application, follow these
steps. For an Xgig1000 chassis in a standalone environment, install the upgrade site on
the same PC that contains your Xgig client applications.
1
Log on as Administrator of the system.
2
Insert the
Xgig System Server Software
USB Drive into your computer.
3
Click on
Install FTP Server
from the USB Drive menu.
4
Follow the steps in the Install Wizard to load the image files and directories to a loca-
tion of your choice.
The FTP server can be started from the shortcut on the
Start
menu. You may also chose
to install it as a Windows service and specify that it starts automatically upon boot of the
system. To setup the FTP server as a Windows service, launch the FTP server, go to
Settings > Edit Server Options > Startup Options
, and place a check mark in the appro-
priate box.
The FTP server install program automatically creates the
/Kits
directory required for
storing Xgig1000 system and application images. It also creates a shortcut within the
Viavi
folder in the
Start
menu to the
Xgig FTP Server.
When using the Viavi-supplied FTP server, you have two choices when you receive an
upgrade software USB Drive for the Xgig1000 chassis:
1
Copy the contents of the
/Kits
directory to the same directory on your server.
2
Reinstall your FTP server software.
–
If you select the “repair” option, all older kits are saved and newer kits are added
to the
/Kits
directory on the server. The login options are restored to their default
values.
–
If you select the “remove” option, the contents of the
/Kits
directory are replaced.
The login options are restored to their default values.
