About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and
Formats:
Comtech EF Data’s Web site catalogues its
flashable firmware upgrade files by product type (e.g.,
modem, converter, etc.) and specific model/optional
configuration. The hyperlinks appear as per the example
to the right. For the CDM-840, the firmware download
hyperlink appears as
F0000408X_V### , where ‘X’
denotes the revision letter, and ### represents the
firmware version.
The current version firmware release is provided. If applicable, one version prior to the current
release is also available. Be sure to identify and download the desired version.
The downloadable files are stored in two formats: *.exe (self-extracting) and *.zip
(compressed). Some firewalls will not allow the downloading of *.exe files. In this case,
download the *.zip file instead.
For additional help with "zipped" file types, refer to PKZIP for Windows , WinZip , or ZipCentral
help files. PKZIP for DOS is not supported due to file naming conventions.
4 Extract the files into the temporary folder on the PC. At least two files should be extracted:
•
Fw0000408x.bin , where ‘x’ denotes the bulk image revision letter.
•
CDM-840_ReleaseNotes_vXXX.pdf, where ‘XXX’ denotes the firmware version.
5 Confirm that the files have been extracted to the specified temporary folder on the PC.
Using Command-line, type “ cd c:\temp ” to change to the temporary directory created in
Step 2 , then use the “ dir ” command to list the files extracted from the downloaded
archive file.
6 Connect the external PC to the MANAGEMENT FE 10/100 BaseT Fast Ethernet port, via a
hub or a switch, or directly to the PC using an Ethernet cable.
7 Send a “ping” command to the unit to verify the connection and communication:
First, determine the IP address of the unit remotely or by using the Web Server Interface:
•
Remotely – Use <0/IPA? command; the unit’s configured IP address is returned,
e.g., >0000/IPA=192.168.1.38/24
•
Via Web Server Interface – View the ‘ Configuration | Interface | FE Mgt ’ page.
Then, using Command-line to PING: At the Command-line prompt, type “ ping
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ” (where ‘ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ is the Management IP address of the unit).
The results should confirm whether or not the unit is connected and communicating.
8 Initiate an FTP session with the unit (this example uses a Command-line window):
a) From the PC, type " ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx " where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ is the IP address of
the CDM-840.
b) Verify the FTP transfer is binary by typing " bin ".
c) Type " prompt " then type " hash " to facilitate the file transfers.
