LBC-4000 L-Band Up/Down Converter System
Firmware Update

About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and
Formats
The Comtech EF Data Web site catalogues its firmware update archive
files by product type (e.g., router, modem, etc.), the specific model, and
optional hardware configurations. The LBC-4000 files are provided
under "Home | Support | Software Downloads | Flash & Software
Update Files | Converters | LBC-4000."
The LBC-4000 firmware download hyperlink for the Ethernet-ready
(current) production unit is F0020503x_V###.
The LBC-4000 firmware download hyperlink for the original non-
Ethernet unit is F9965x_V####.
Note that 'x' is the firmware revision letter, and '###' represents the
firmware version number (e.g., V125 = Version 1.2.5).
Comtech EF Data provides its archive download files in two compressed
formats – *.exe (self-extracting) and *.zip (compressed):
• The self-extracting *.exe file does not require use of a third-
party utility program.
• Some firewalls do not allow the download of self-extracting
*.exe files. You must instead download the *.zip file, and extract
the firmware files from the download with a user-supplied
third-party 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.
For detailed information on handling archived files, read your utility
program's Help documentation.
