How can you reload software on a Viavi MTS/TBERD that will not boot? This is for MTS/TBERD 2000/4000/6000/8000 units. **This procedure does not apply to the MTS/TBERD 5800**
The first step is to create an upgrade USB stick. Go to www.updatemyunit.net and download the latest software for that model MTS/TBERD.

Power the MTS/TBERD down and place the USB on one of the mainframe's USB ports. Hold down the SETUP and the START/STOP buttons (for 4000 use SHIFT and SETUP) then press the power button to the turn the unit on. This will stop the normal boot process and take the user to a boot menu. Release the buttons you were holding down and select the FROM USB choice on the boot menu.
