• About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and Formats: The Comtech EF
Data Web site catalogues its firmware update files by product type (e.g.,
router, modem, etc.), the specific model, and optional hardware
configurations.
The MBT-4000B firmware download hyperlink appears as F12357X_V### ,
where ‘ X ’ denotes the revision letter, and ‘ ### ’ represents the firmware
version number (e.g., V115 = Version 1.1.5).
• About File Archive Formats: Comtech EF Data provides its downloadable
files in two compressed archive formats:
*.exe
(self-extracting) and
*.zip
(compressed).
The *.exe file does not require a file archiver and compression utility
program such as
PKZIP for Windows, WinZip, ZipCentral,
etc. (
PKZIP for
DOS
is not supported due to file naming conventions). Comtech EF Data
does not provide this utility program.
Some firewalls do not allow the download of *.exe files. Download the
*.zip file instead, and extract the firmware files from the archive
download with a user-supplied utility program. For detailed information
on handling archived files, refer to the utility program Help
documentation.
