a switch, or directly to a PC with a crossover cable.
IMPORTANT
Alternate Method via CMD Prompt: At the command prompt (c:\>) type "MD
temp" without quotes (MD stands for "make directory" – this is the same as
creating a new folder from Windows). You should now have a "c:\temp"
subdirectory created where c: is the drive letter used in the example.

About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and Formats:
The flashable files on the download server are organized by product first, then by
firmware number, (make sure you know the correct firmware number; see step 1)
version, if applicable, and release date. The base modem bulk firmware for the
CDM-Qx will be F11245*_*_* (where the asterisks show revision, version and
date).
The current version firmware release is provided. If applicable, one version prior
to the current release is also available. Be sure to identify and download the
desired version.
The downloadable files are stored in two formats:
•
*.exe (self extracting)
•
*.zip (compressed).
Some firewalls will not allow the downloading of *.exe files. In this case,
download the *.zip file instead.
For additional help with "zipped" file types, refer to "PKZip for Windows",
"winzip", or "zip central" help files. PKZip for DOS is not supported due to file
naming conventions.
At least three files should be extracted:
•
Bulk Image File: FW11245x.bin, where "x" is the revision
•
Release notes: QxReleaseNotes_x.pdf, where "x" is the version
•
Installation notes: README_X.TXT, where "X" is the version
Base modem firmware can be loaded via the Ethernet M&C port.
Verify the communication and connection by issuing a "ping" command to the
modem. You can find the IP address of the modem either remotely using the
