1. Preparing for install

Entuity uses a secure FTP server to distribute its network analytics software. The Entuity FTP server is located here: ftp.entuity.com. Access to the Entuity FTP site requires a valid username and password that can be obtained from Entuity Support. For added security, the FTP site requires connection via SFTP.
You need a valid account to access the server:
- If you have purchased the software, please contact Entuity Support and they will be able to provide you the necessary details.
- If you are trialing ENA software, please contact your Sales Engineer and they will be able to help you.
Download the file.
Open the ftppub folder, and then open the Images folder. Download the ENA image (which contains ENA v17.0 and patch P01 together), which is a compressed file.
You will need to decompress the downloaded image. Note, when decompressing the image on Windows, WinZip will offer to unzip the ISO file contained in the zip file - do not unpack the ISO file.
Mount the decompressed image as a virtual drive on your system.

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the mounted image and double click install.exe.
This opens a welcome message. The next page will ask you to agree to the ENA terms and conditions.
