be unresponsive until reboot has completed.
Using ftp and telnet/ssh
Step 1, alternative A: Using Windows Explorer
Open a Windows Explorer window. Click the address field and type
ftp://10.0.20.101
(replace
10.0.20.101 with the probe’s IP address) and hit
Enter
. When asked to log in, enter the User name
admin
and password
elvis
in all lower-case letters (this password can be changed in the

Then drag the software image onto the empty Windows Explorer window. It may be necessary to retype
the string including user and password, as described above. When the file has been copied onto the
probe the Windows Explorer window may look as shown below.
