Update Firmware via the Internet

Make sure to operate the CDM-425 with the latest available firmware.
The CDM-425 Advanced Satellite Modem is factory-shipped with its latest version of operating
firmware. If a firmware update is needed, once Ethernet connectivity has been established with

follows:
•
Connect the rear panel serial "Remote Control" port or "10/100 Ethernet" port to a serial
or Ethernet port of the User PC.
•
