How to use the EXPERTrak or Pathrtak server as a FW repository for the HCU when there's no Internet connection:

If you want to use the PT server as FW repository instead the Indy default one have to do the following:

You need 2 files. The .zip firmware package and a .xml file for the PathTrak server to read.
- File 1 (xml description): http://www.acternacablenet.com/downloads/pathtrak/firmware/PathtrakFirmwarePackageList.xml
- File 2 (Fw package): http://www.acternacablenet.com/downloads/pathtrak/firmware/PathtrakFirmwarePackage_X.XX.XX.zip (Replace the X with the FW version contained on the xml)
Copy those 2 files to Program Files/Viavi Solutions/XPERTrak 2.x/tomcat/webapps/ROOT
Change the Firmware Download Site to http://localhost
Now the new FW will be available to upgrade the HCUs from the Pathtrak / XPERTrak Server
