Updating E5810 Firmware
This section gives guidelines to update your E5810 firmware to the latest version.
NOTE
Do not update your E5810 firmware unless you have a specific need to do so, such as defect repair or instrument enhancements. If the firmware update fails, the E5810 reverts to its original firmware version.
| The E5810 uses standard FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to perform updates. |
| The E5810 acts as an FTP client and searches for an FTP Server that |
| contains the E5810 firmware image. Agilent maintains a publicly accessible |
| FTP Server that contains the latest E5810 firmware at: |
| ftp.agilent.com, login: anonymous, password: |
| <your |
Procedure to | The latest E5810 firmware is at /pub/e5810/e5810_latest_firmware.hex |
Update E5810 | and is called "e5810_latest_firmware.hex". Prior versions are also |
Firmware | available in this ftp directory. |
| If you cannot reach the Agilent FTP Server from your E5810, you can use a |
| any standard FTP Server that is available, provided you have an image of |
| the firmware. The requirements are an FTP Server, an image of the E5810 |
| firmware, and a LAN connection between the E5810 and the FTP Server. |
| The procedure to update E5810 firmware depends on whether or not the |
| Agilent FTP site is accessible from the E5810. This, in turn, depends on |
| how your network is configured. The E5810 FTP client used to upload new |
| firmware is a standard FTP client and currently does not support proxies. |
| This means that anyone behind a firewall will most likely not be able to |
| directly access the Agilent FTP site. |
| A description of the two procedures to update E5810 firmware follows. |
If the Agilent FTP site is accessible from the E5810, see “Agilent
FTP Site is Accessible From E5810”
If the Agilent FTP site is not accessible from the E5810, see “Agilent FTP Site is not Accessible From E5810”
