ONX-580 Firmware Updates...The easy way

[@GladiatorGallemore]

Switched contracting companies and after showing someone how we'd stratasync the meter is locked. Can doing this with USB unlock it? Assuming the administrator for previous company locked it when synced. I purchased it used.

There is an option in Stratasync to lockdown meters on connect if they are lost or stolen. If this is your meter and the last company had it associated with their account, then enabled the feature, it is possible that it got locked. The only way I know of is to contact them and have them release the meter from their account. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the video, do you know of any way to enable all software options without going to viavi? As they charge a fortune. I have never seen all enables like it shows on your onx-580

Licenses are pushed via StrataSync when you purchase them. Or they are sent to you via USB drive. Either way, you cannot enable these options without having root access, or paying for them.

Thanks for watching. As #TMGCommunications states, all of these are paid upgrades. Keep in mind that not all users require all functions so it's an "Ala Carte" type of licensing. This is also a training meter, so typically you wouldn't see all of these functions enabled (or used) in a field meter. Even in training I only use a few of the functions (guessing maybe 30%?). As a note, if you buy used equipment, you always want to ask for a screen shot of the licensing. Just because a device is "Capable" doesn't mean it is licensed to do it.

Hello. excellent video. Do you know how I can install the RFL module in this equipment? ONX-580. in the software options menu the "resistive fault locator" module has the word "upgradeable". How can I get this module to be "enabled" "enabled" Thank you very much I have already updated the SWbundle to version 10.4.10 and the RFL module did not activate.

Thank you, RFL is a licensed option, to enable the option contact your Viavi rep and they can help you with the upgrade. The 10.4.10 is a firmware update adding more "Upgradeable" options and enhancing current licensed functions.
