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-570/570L will be F10805*_*_* (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) and *.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.

use the Ethernet Traffic port.
