Chapter 4. UPDATING FIRMWARE
4.1
Firmware Update Overview
Make sure to operate the CDD-880 with its latest available firmware.
The CDD-880 Multi Receiver Router is factory-shipped with the latest version of operating
firmware. If you require a firmware update, you must contact Comtech EF Data Product
Support.
Firmware updates may be applied to an in-service CDD-880 without having to remove the
covers of the unit chassis. Use the CDD-880 to update the firmware:
•
Obtain the firmware update archive file from Comtech EF Data Product Support.
•
Establish the proper communications link for acquiring the firmware update archive files by
directly connecting a user-supplied Microsoft Windows-based PC to the 'ETHERNET |
TRAFFIC/MANAGEMENT | GE' 10/100/1000 BaseT Gigabit Ethernet port and the 9-pin serial
'CONSOLE' port located on the CDD-880 rear panel.
•
Use Windows Command-line to transfer, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the extracted
firmware files from the User PC to the CDD-880 standby firmware image.
•
Use the CDD-880 HTTP (Web Server) Interface to configure the modem to operate using the
updated firmware image.
