Updating an Analyzer Device

You can update the software or change address information for a Finisar analyzer

device from Surveyor.
Before you can reset the device with a new image, you must place the new image on

a server that runs TFTP protocol.
Download the new software from the support web site,
http://www.finisar.com

. Go to the software updates section of the Web

site to find the new analyzer image. Place the software on the server that runs the

TFTP protocol.
Before you can update the analyzer address information automatically, you must

have a server that contains the new address information and runs the BOOTP proto-

col.

Use the following procedure to update the analyzer image software.
1. Login to the remote analyzer device with “super-user” privileges.

2. Click on the icon for the analyzer device in the Resource Browser.

3. Choose

Properties

from the

Host

menu.

4. Set the new IP Address, IP Gateway Address, and Subnet Mask for the

analyzer. If no address update is needed, or you are updating the address from
a BOOTP server, skip this step.

5. Click the

Reset Host/Image Upgrade

button.

6. Check the

Enable BOOTP

box if you are updating addresses from a BOOTP

server.

7. Check the

Image Upgrade (TFTP)
