Chapter 4. FLASH UPGRADING
Update Sect. 4.2 Ethernet Upload Procedure (pages 4-2, 4-3)
Instructions: Steps 3, 4, and 9 in Sect. 4.2 are replaced in their entirety as follows:
3. Download the correct firmware file to this temporary folder. As shown in Figure 4-1:
About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and Formats: The flashable files on the download
server are organized by product prefix; firmware number (verify that the correct firmware
number is known – see Step 1); revision letter, if applicable; and release version.
The downloadable for the CDM-740 base modem bulk firmware is named F0000279x_V###,
where "x" denotes the revision letter, and "###" the firmware version. The downloadable files
are stored in two formats: *.exe (self-extracting) and *.zip (compressed). Some firewalls will
not allow the downloading of *.exe files; in this case, download the *.zip file instead.
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.
For additional help with "zipped" file types, refer to PKZIP for Windows, WinZip, or
ZipCentral help files. PKZIP for DOS is not supported due to file naming conventions.
4. Extract the files into the temporary folder on the PC. At least two files should be
extracted (where the "x" in each filename represents the firmware revision letter):
•
FW-0000279x.pkg, the bulk image file;
•
ReleaseNotes_FW-0000279x.pdf, the firmware release notes document.
9. Transfer the files: Type "put FW-0000279*.pkg" to begin the file transfers. It will take
a few seconds to transfer the file.
