CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem
Flash Upgrading
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
ZipCentral help files. PKZIP for DOS is not supported due to file naming conventions.
4. Unzip the files in the temporary folder on the PC. At least three files should be extracted:
a. FW12864x.bin, where "x" is the version (bulk image file).
b. Releasenotes.pdf
c. README.TXT installation notes
5. Connect the external PC to any one of the four CDM-625 modem 10/100 Ethernet ports, via
a hub or a switch, or directly to a PC with a crossover cable.
6. Send a "ping" command to the modem to verify the communication and connection.
Determine the IP address of the modem remotely or using the front panel:
•
Remotely - use the <0/IPA? command
•
Front panel - use the
menu.
•
Using DOS to PING (and FTP): Click "Start" on the Windows toolbar, then select
the "Run..." option. (Alternatively, use the "DOS Prompt" or "Command Prompt"
icons in the Start Menu.)
•
Using Win95 or Win98: Type "command".
•
Using WinNT, Win2K or WinXP: Type "cmd".
Once in DOS, use "cd c:\temp" to change to the temporary directory created earlier in Step 2.
Use the "dir" command to list the downloaded files.
7. Initiate an FTP session with the modem (the example uses a DOS window):
a. From the PC, type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the IP address of
the CDM-625.
b. Press ENTER at the user prompt.
c. Verify the FTP transfer is binary by typing "bin".
d. Type "prompt" then type "hash" to facilitate the file transfers.
8. Transfer the files.
Type "put FW12864*.bin bulk:" to begin the file transfers. The destination "bulk:" must be
all lower case. It will take a few seconds to transfer the file.
9. Verify the file transfer.
