Comtech EF Data’s website organizes firmware update files by product type and model/optional
configuration.
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 earlier than the latest release is available for
download also.
For additional help with compressed file types, refer to the help files provided with the file archiving
programs. Supported programs include:
•
PKZIP for Windows
•
WinZip
•
ZipCentral
The program “PKZIP for DOS” is not supported.
