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.
•
Note that ‘X’ denotes the revision letter, and ‘####’ represents the firmware
version (e.g., V111 = Version 1.1.1).
•
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.
f.
Download the archive file to the temporary folder.

EXE
or
ZIP
hyperlink is selected the ‘
File Download’
window opens and
prompts selection of
[Open]
