CDD-562AL/564A/L Multi-Channel Demodulator
Updating Firmware
Chapter 5. UPDATING FIRMWARE
5.1
Updating F irmware via the Internet
NOTE: To ensure optimal performance, it is important to operate the CDD-56xA/L with
its latest available firmware.
The CDD-56xA/L Multi-Channel Demodulator eliminates the need for updating firmware by physically
replacing EPROMs. Instead, the demodulator uses 'Flash memory' technology internally. This makes the
firmware update process very simple. Firmware update archive files may be downloaded from the
Internet (from Comtech EF Data's website), or obtained through Comtech EF Data Customer Support via
e-mail or on CD by standard mail delivery.
The complete firmware update process is as follows:
•
New firmware can be downloaded from Comtech EF Data's website to a user-supplied PC.
•
Transfer the firmware update file, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) upload, from the user PC to
the CDD-56xA/L.
•
Perform the update, without opening the CDD-56xA/L, using the rear panel interface M&C
connections:
•
The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port connects to the Ethernet port of the user PC for user access to
SNMP/Telnet/HTTP operations.
Note:
If Dedicated Management is disabled, then you must use the Traffic port for the upgrade process.
If Dedicated Management is enabled, then you must use the M&C port for the upgrade process.
•
The Console port connects to an available serial port for user access to the IP Module Command
Line Interface (CLI) operations.
