The

or
the
‘Traffic

Processor).
Do
these
steps:
Download
the
firmware
update
archive

via
the
Internet,
or
acquire
the

standby
firmware
image.
Use
the
CDM

front
panel
or
the
CDM

The
firmware
download
files
are
available
from
Comtech
EF
Data
in
two
archive
file
formats:
*.exe
(self
‐
extracting)
and
*.zip
(compressed).
Some
firewalls
will
not
allow
downloading
of
*.exe
files;
in
this
case,
download
the
*.zip
file
instead.
If
applicable,
one
version
prior
to
the
current
release
is
also
available
for
download.
For
additional
help
with
"zipped"
file
types,
refer
to
the
help
files
provided
with
the
"PKZIP
for
Windows",
"WinZip",
or
"ZipCentral"
file
archiving
programs.
Comtech
EF
Data
does
not
support
“PKZIP
for
DOS”
due
to
file
naming
conventions.
