Appendix A
CDM-760 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem
The CDM-760 HTTP Interface 'Admin | Upgrade' page was under development in the
FW Ver. 1.3.1 and 1.2.1 releases, and may not be used to update the modem
firmware images. Use Windows Command-line as instructed in this section.
Do these steps:
1. Use Command-line to send a "PING" command to confirm proper communication between
the User PC and the CDM-760:
Type "ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" at the Command-line prompt (where 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' is
the CDM-760 Ethernet Management IP Address). The response should confirm whether
the PC is properly connected to and communicating with the modem.
2. Make note of the active firmware image that the CDM-760 is running at present:
From the CDM-760 Front Panel, use the arrow keys to view the SELECT: Utility →
Firmware screen. The top line of this screen displays the running active image as
"ActiveImage:1" or "ActiveImage:2".
The FTP upload procedure will overwrite the standby image.
3. Use Command-line to transfer (FTP) the files from the User PC to the CDM-760:
Make sure you are active in the proper working folder (directory) created earlier – if not,
type "cd CDM760".
Type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (where 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' is the CDM-760 Ethernet
Management IP Address).
If Command-line prompts you for a user name, one is not required. Press Enter to
continue.
The Command-line prompt changes to "ftp>". Type "put F0020627.tar F0020627.tar" at
the prompt (without quotes) to begin the file transfer.
The file transfer process takes about 10 minutes – do not power off the PC or modem
during this time. As the upgrade process continues, the modem front panel displays:
Once the file transfers, Command-line displays the upload result, similar to:
Type "bye" to terminate the FTP session, and then close the Command-line window.
4. Use one of these methods to verify that the PC-to-Modem FTP file transfer was successful:
The naming and file format for Firmware Vers. 1.3.1 and 1.2.1 differs from
the naming and file format for Firmware Ver. 1.1.1! See Sect. A.3 for
instructions on updating CDM-760 modems running FW Ver. 1.1.1.
