CDD-880 Multi Receiver Router MN-CDD880
Updating Firmware Revision 2
4–9
• Once the Management IP Address is known, use Command-line to PING – Type “ ping
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
” at the Command-line prompt (where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ is the unit
Management IP Address).
The response should confirm whether or not the unit is properly connected and
communicating.
2. Use Command-line to transfer (FTP) the files from the User PC to the CDD-880:
•
Type "
ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
" (where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ denotes the unit Management IP
Address).
•
Enter the username and password assigned to the unit. The default username and
password is “ comtech ”.
•
Type “ bin ” to set the binary transfer mode.
• Type " prompt " and then type " hash" to facilitate the file transfers.
• Type " put FW-0000423xx_CDD880.bin " (where ‘ xx ’ denotes the revision letter) at the
Command-line prompt, without quotes, to begin the file transfer. The process
sequences through several blocks – this may take several minutes for the transfer to
occur. Once the upgrade file is received, the image is written to Flash memory and the
unit transmits the message “ UPLOAD COMPLETE. ”
In the event you receive the “Connection closed by remote host.” message,
wait another minute before continuing. The CDD-880 update sometimes
takes longer than the FTP client allows.
• Type " bye " to terminate the FTP session, and then close the Command-line window.
3. Use the CDD-880 Serial Interface or the CDD-880 HTTP Interface ‘Admin | Firmware’ page
to verify that the PC-to-Unit FTP file transfer was successful.
4. Use the CDD-880 HTTP Interface to select the firmware and reboot the unit:
a) Select the desired Boot Slot (Image):
• Go to the CDD-880 HTTP Interface ‘ Admin | Firmware ’ page.
•
Use the ‘
Boot From:’
drop-down menu to select
Latest
,
Slot 1
, or
Slot 2
(in the
Firmware Configuration section).
By default, the unit will boot from the Slot that stores the firmware version having
the
latest date
( Boot From: Latest ). ‘ Boot From: ’ may also be set to force the unit to
boot up using either firmware image loaded in Slot 1 or Slot 2 .
• Click [Submit] to save the setting.
