How to update NANL-B500G-RE firmware

Q

I want to update the firmware of my netANALYZER NANL-B500G-RE device. How can I do this?

A

Open the Ethernet Device Configuration utiliy
Scan for devices
Obtain the IP address of the netANALYZER you want to update
Open the Windows explorer (alternatively a common FTP utility may be used)
Enter ftp://192.168.1.1, where the IP address shall be given with the address obtained from step 3
On the login screen enter "update" as user name and "nanl-b500g-re" as password (without the double quotes)
Copy the incremental firmware update file to the netANALYZER's FTP target by drag'n'drop the file nanl-b500g-re.update
The .update file can be found on the netANALYZER DVD in the folder NANL-B500G-RE firmware update
Once the file is copied the FTP folder should contain the file nanl-b500g-re.update, there may exist a file update.log from a previous update process, the log file contains information about the update process and can be ignored by the end user
Power off your NANL-B500G-RE device
Power on your NANL-B500G-RE device and wait until the device is fully operational
Wait until the LEDs will stay in state SYS LED = green, STA0 LED = red, STA1 LED = off for approx. 10 seconds. During the update process the LEDs may flash up in different colors.
The device is now updated
To verify if the update process was successfully you may verify the version information, open the netANALYZER application and select your device
Open the Info dialog box
The firmware versions of your NANL-B500G-RE device should now be on the new state
