3.1.2 About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and Formats

The CEFD website catalogues its firmware update archive files by product type (e.g., router,
modem, etc.), the specific model, and optional hardware configurations. The LPOD files are
provided under "Home | Support | Software Downloads | Amplifier Software Downloads | LPOD
Software Downloads". The LPOD firmware download hyperlink appears as F0000078X_V###,
where 'X' is the revision letter, and '###' represents the firmware version number (e.g., V156 =
Version 1.5.6).
CEFD provides its archive download files in two compressed formats – *.exe (self-extracting) and
*.zip (compressed):
The self-extracting *.exe file does not require use of a third-party utility program.
Some firewalls do not allow the download of self-extracting *.exe files. Instead, download the *.zip
file, and extract the firmware files from the download with a user-supplied third-party file archiver
and compression utility program such as PKZIP for Windows, WinZip, ZipCentral, etc. (PKZIP for
DOS is not supported due to file naming conventions). CEFD does not provide this utility
program.
For detailed information on handling archived files, read your archive utility program's Help
documentation.
