CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem
Flash Upgrading

Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure
1. Identify the reflashable product, firmware number, and version for download.
The current base modem M&C version can be viewed at the top level menu of the front panel
display (press the CLEAR key several times to view). The firmware information can also be
found within the Utilities: Firmware
Using serial remote control, the firmware revision levels can be queried with the following
commands:
Abbreviated: <0/SWR?
or:
Detailed: <0/FRW?x where: x = B (Boot), 1 (Image 1) or 2 (Image 2)
2. Create a temporary directory (folder) on an external PC.
Windows: Select File > New > Folder, then rename the New Folder to "temp" or another
convenient, unused name. Assuming "temp" works, a "c:\temp" folder should now be
created.
Note: The c: is the drive letter used in this example. Any valid writable drive letter can
be used.
CMD Prompt: At the command prompt (c:\>), type "mkdir temp" or "MD temp" without
quotes (mkdir and MD stand for make directory). This is the same as creating a new folder
from Windows. There should now be a "c:\temp" subdirectory created (where c: is the
drive letter used in the example).
3. Download the correct firmware file to this temporary folder.
Access the download server with the flash firmware data files link:
http://206.223.8.10/linksite/flashupgrades/CDM625/
Or, 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; version; and release date. The base modem bulk
firmware for the CDM-625 is FW12864*_*_* (where the
asterisks signify revision, version and release 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.
