Chapter 4. FLASH UPGRADING

4.1

Flash Updating via Internet

The CDD-880 Multi Receiver Router uses 'Flash memory' technology internally. This makes
software upgrading very simple, and updates can now be sent over satellite, via the Internet (Figure
4-1), via E-mail, or on CD.
This chapter outlines the complete upgrading process as follows:
•
New firmware can be downloaded via the Internet to an external PC.
•
The upgrade can be performed without opening the unit over satellite or by simply
connecting the unit to the Ethernet port of the external PC.
•
The firmware update is transferred, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), from the external PC to
the unit.
