4.9 Licensed Options
(System > Licensed Options)
This function reports which optional features are currently enabled for the base unit and modules (if any),
which may be required when seeking technical support. It also allows you to manually enable features by
entering valid key codes, which is may be required to enable licensed features on a new unit. To enter a
key code, press Update Key (F1) and enter the key exactly as provided by Spirent. Note the following:
• For more information on what the individual licenses do, see Licensed feature details on page 1-40.
• Firmware upgrades include a provision to automatically apply licensing codes if properly configured
in a file and located on the server from which the firmware is retrieved. For more information, see
Update Firmware on page 4-11.
• The unit requires a unique key code for each licensed feature. For example, to enable both the web
browser and IP video testing, you need to enter two different codes.
• For manual code entry, you do not need to enter anything except the code itself. The unit will
recognize the feature to which it applies and then list that feature as enabled.
• A key code is specific to a unit and will not work on any other unit.
• Key codes must be provided by Spirent. In some cases, the codes required for your licensed feature
set are shipped in the package with the unit. If you have trouble with the codes or require new codes
for any reason, please contact Spirent.
4.10 Update Firmware
(System > Update Firmware)
This function initiates the unit firmware upgrade process. The firmware package must reside on a remote
computer with a properly-configured rsync server running and with IP-level connectivity to the unit.
Spirent hosts one such rsync server which may be available for your use, dependent upon your
arrangement with Spirent and preferences as an organization. Alternatively, you may set up your own
server for private, internal use. The remaining information in this section (including Table 4-3, Update
Firmware parameters on page 4-12) assumes the use of the Spirent-hosted server. For more information
on setting up your own server, please contact Spirent for additional documentation.
Before an update may be initiated, you must configure an Admin Port with connectivity to the rsync
server (see Admin Port on page 4-6). Additionally, note the following:
