4.1

Update Firmware via the Internet

BE SURE TO OPERATE THE CDM-625A WITH ITS LATEST AVAILABLE FIRMWARE.
The CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem is factory-shipped with its latest version of operating
firmware. If a firmware update is needed, once Ethernet connectivity has been established with
the unit, you can download the update archive file from the Comtech EF Data Web site
(www.comtechefdata.com), or obtain it through e-mail from Comtech EF Data Product Support.
You can perform the CDM-625A Firmware Update without opening the unit as follows:
•
Connect the rear panel serial "Remote Control" port or "10/100 Ethernet" port to a serial or
Ethernet port of the User PC.
•
Download the firmware update archive file via the Internet to the User PC.
•
Use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer the extracted firmware update files from the
User PC to the unit.
