D.4 CDI-70 GBEI Firmware Update
The CDI-70 10/100/1000 Base-T Gigabit Ethernet Interface module contains its
own processor and memory. Because of this, the module operates under its own
firmware and requires update separate from that of the CDM-710/L High-Speed
Satellite Modem. You may directly acquire the download from Comtech EF
Data's web site (www.comtechefdata.com), or receive the archive file by e-mail
from Comtech EF Data Product Support.
This section presumes user familiarity with the tasks required for:
• Creating the temporary folder;
• Downloading the CDI-70 GBEI firmware update archive file to
the temporary folder;
• Extracting the CDI-70 GBEI firmware files and user notes from
the downloaded archive file and transferring them into the
temporary folder.
Chapter 5. FIRMWARE UPDATE
D.4.1 CDI-70 Firmware Update Procedure Summary
1. Download the CDI-70 firmware update archive file to a user-supplied PC. The
User PC must be Microsoft Windows® compatible.
2. Make sure the User PC is connected to the CDI-70's 'GBEI | J1' Ethernet
traffic port with an Ethernet hub, switch, or direct CAT5 cable connection.
Do NOT use the CDM-710/L 'J4 | Ethernet' 10/100 M&C port for
this procedure.
3. Use the Comtech EF Data CReflash.exe File Transfer Protocol (FTP) utility to
transfer the extracted firmware files from the User PC to the CDI-70's
standby firmware image.
4. Use the modem front panel or the CDM-710/L HTTP Interface to verify that
the CDI-70 is operating using the updated firmware image.
