There are three ways to update your OPV-LA.   Use the Web interface to configure the OPV-LA to load the new image via TFTP server. Update the OPV-LA using the OPV-PE 5.0 software.   NOTE: OPV-PE 6.1 Software will not be able to update an OPV-LA from the Version 5.0 image to the Version 6.1 image.    Update the OPV-LA through the Console port of the OPV-LA. If you select option 3 to upgrade the software you will need a straight‑through 9-pin serial cable in order to update your OPV-LA.   For all methods, you will need the OPV-PE 6.1 CD. The new images for the OPV-LA is located in the Images Files / System folder of the OPV-PE 6.1 software CD. The image file names are dp61b013659.img and dpsE61b013659.img for the hard disk model.   There is a three step process to update the OPV-LA. Step 1 Setting up HyperTerminal. Step 2 Setting up the TFTP server. Step 3 Select the update method.           Updating the OPV-LA using the Web interface or           Updating the OPV-LA using the OPV-PE 5.0 software or           Updating the OPV-LA using TFTP and HyperTerminal.   Step 1: Setting up HyperTerminal Open a new HyperTerminal session. Name the new session and click OK.  Select the COM port to be used for the connection from the PC to the OPV-LA.  Set the communication parameters as shown in the graphic above.             9600 Baud           8 Data Bits           No Parity           1 Stop Bit           No Flow Control   Press Enter several times and you should see the command prompt symbol > appear on the HyperTerminal session window.   OPV-LA Command line setup procedure.   In the Command line prompt. Type the word HELP for the command line Variables listed below.   > help   Command Types: {set, get, clear, del, ping, module} variable: help ping for more information about ping command help module for more information about module command help {variable} for more information about other parameters    Variables: ipAddr       ipDefGw ipServerAddr ipSubnetMask ipSettings ldBootFile ldBootMode ldLoadMode snmpComm sysBootSwVersion sysHwBoardId sysHwMacAddr sysHwReset sysHwVersion sysMgmtPortSpeed sysResetType sysSwVersion sysUpTime telAccess telTimeout usrTable date time wdtimer imageProperties ntpUpdate ntpServerAddr ntpAutoUpdate ntpTimeOutValue ntpUpdateInterval ntpMinFromUTC ntpSettings connectingClients disconnectClient systemInfo TapRescan email   Configure the OPV-LA with a valid IP address, Subnet mask and Default Router for your Network. Configuration command examples follow:   > set ipaddr 10.48.1.250 > set ipsubnetmask 255.255.255.0 > set ipdefgw 10.248.1.1   To write new configuration settings to non-volatile memory, issue a warm system reset.   > set syshwreset warm   Connect the Management port of the OPV-LA to a live network connection.   The OPV-LA should now be accessible from a workstation running the OPV-PE 5.0 software. OPV-PE 6.1 will not link with the older OPV-LA image.  Step 2: Setting up the TFTP server Start the TFTP Server you are going to use for the software update.   Note: Tftpd32 software is provided in the Utilities folder on the OPV-PE 6.1CD. The OPV-LA image files are in the Images Files / System folder of the CD.   The following example shows a folder was created (C:\TFTP) and the Tftpd32.exe file was copied from the OPV-PE 6.1 CD to this folder.   If you are using the TFTP software supplied on the CD, then ensure that the correct OPV-LA image file (dp61b013659.img or dpsE61b013659.img for the hard disk model) for your Link Analyzer is in the base directory for the TFTP server software.    To modify this location, click the Settings button.    To modify the location of the Base Directory type a new path into the Base Directory field of the setting window. Press OK when finished.   Step 3: Select one of the update methods listed below   Updating the OPV-LA using the Web interface.   Enter the IP address of your OPV-LA into the URL address line of your web browser. The OPV-LA web server should respond with the following page.     Select the Administration hyperlink option from the OPV-LA main page. You will be presented with the login screen for your OPV-LA.     To perform the upgrade, you must log in as a super user. The OPV-LA default setting for this account is user: su password: manager     The System Information screen reports the current system software levels and image details for your OPV-LA. The example screen above reflects what this screen will show after this upgrade has taken place. Your screen should reflect a prior software level. From this screen select the Ip Settings hyperlink.     Modify the IP address information as necessary to reflect the proper source IP address configuration for your OPV-LA. Add to the configuration the IP address of the TFTP server which was configured earlier in this description. Click on the Submit button to apply the address changes.   After changing the IP address configurations, and loading the IP address of the TFTP server, select the Boot Control hyperlink.     In the Boot File field enter the name of the image file you would like to load into the Link Analyzer. Make sure you enter the complete file name, including the extension.   Click on the Load Mode option for Network, so that the OPV-LA will contact the TFTP server when it reboots.   Change the Hw Reset Mode to warm using the pull-down menu selection.   If the above configuration is correctly entered, then clicking on the Submit button will both save the configuration changes and reboot the OPV-LA. The OPV-LA will post one warning message before rebooting.     Click on the OK button to permit the OPV-LA to reboot. When it reboots it will contact the TFTP server and ask for the image file, as configured in the screen above. While booting, the TFTP server screen should reflect the progress of the TFTP file transfer.     When completed, the TFTP server screen should reflect that the image file has been transferred.     Reconnect to the OPV-LA through your web browser and double check the System Information screen to ensure that the new image has been loaded.  Updating the OPV-LA using the OPV-PE 5.0 software.  OPV-PE 6.1 will not link with the older OPV-LA image. Start the OPV-PE 5.0 software and log in as a Super user. Right mouse click on the IP address of the OPV-LA.   Click on Properties to view the Host Properties window.     Click on the Reset Host/Image Upgrade button for the Host Properties window.               Enter the IP Address of the PC running the TFTP server in the IP Boot Server window.           Ensure that the box is checked for the Image Upgrade (TFTP) selection.           Enter the 6.1 Image name for your OPV-LA in the Boot image filename field.   When you have completed configuration of this window, press the OK button to start the file transfer.   Note: You will see a Message letting you know that you will loose connection with the OPV-LA. This is expected, press the OK button to continue.     The TFTP Server will show a new connection, and will report file transfer statistics as the transfer proceeds. When the file transfer completes the TFTP server status window will display elapsed transfer time statistics similar to what is shown in the screen below.     To verify that the file transferred successfully use the OPV-PE software to reconnect to the OPV-LA.     Select the Remote, Reconnect from the pull-down menu. Then From the Resource Browser on the left pane of the window, right click on the OPV-LA IP Address to view the Host Properties screen.   Verify that the Software Version field is now showing the correct software version for your Link Analyzer model.   The OPV-LA is now complete and the New Version 6.1 image has been installed. Now the OPV-PE 5.0 software can be uninstalled and the new OPV-PE 6.1 software can be installed on the local PC.   Upgrading the OPV-LA using TFTP and HyperTerminal.   Connect the PC to the OPV-LA using a Straight through 9 pin serial cable. Run and configure Hyper Terminal as outlined in Step 1: Setting up HyperTerminal. Start the TFTP server as outlined in Step 2: Setting up the TFTP Server.   Using the HyperTerminal session, configure the OPV-LA with a Valid IP address, Subnet mask and Default Router for your Network. IP Address configuration command examples follow:   > set ipaddr 10.2481.1.250 > set ipsubnetmask 255.255.255.0 > set ipdefgw 10.248.1.1   After loading a valid IP configuration for your network into the OPV-LA, continue by setting the TFTP configuration variables on the OPV-LA. TFTP configuration command examples follow:   > set IPserveraddr 10.248.1.97 > set ldbootfile dpse61b013659.img > set ldloadmode network   Immediately after completing the last command shown above the file transfer will begin. You should see the OPV-LA restart and begin loading the file name that you configured in your HyperTerminal session window as shown below.   Sep 23, 2004 16:21:57 -- System Reset   > You are going to update a code image on OptiView Link Analyzer.
