CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem with Optional IP Module
Flash Upgrading
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 our file naming
conventions.
4. Unzip the files in the temporary folder on your PC.
At least 3 files should be extracted:
5. Connect the client PC to the CDM-570/570L modem 10/100 Ethernet Traffic via a
hub or a switch, or directly to a PC with a crossover cable.
IP MODULE software can only be loaded via the Ethernet Traffic port; do not
use the Ethernet M&C port.
IMPORTANT
Verify the communication and connection by issuing a "ping" command to the
modem. Find the IP address of the modem either remotely using the <0/IPA?
command or from the front panel with the <Config> <Remote> <Remote>
<Ethernet> menus.
To PING and FTP from DOS, press the "Start" button on the Windows toolbar, and
select the "Run..." option. From Win95 or Win98, type "command". From WinNT,
Win2K or WinXP, type "cmd". You can also use the "DOS Prompt" or "Command
Prompt" icons in the Start Menu. Now change to the temporary directory you created
earlier with "cd C:\temp". A quick "dir" will show the downloaded files.
6. Initiate an FTP session with the modem. The example is with a DOS window.
7. Transfer the files.
Type "put FWxxxxx*.bin" to begin the file transfers. It will take several minutes to
transfer and write the files to flash memory.
a. FWxxxxxx.bin, where "x" is the version (bulk image file).
b. FWxxxxxx.txt, where "x" is the version (history notes).
c. README.TXT installation notes.
a. From the PC, type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the IP
address of the CDM-570/570L .
b. Enter admin user name and password to complete login.
c. Verify FTP transfer is binary by typing "bin".
d. Type "prompt" then type "hash" to facilitate the file transfers.
