GBEI Software Upload Procedure
The CDM-700's CDI-70 GBEI module contains its own processor and memory. On occasion,
CEFD may release new software to fix anomalies or add functionality to this interface board.
The GBEI board uses 'flash memory' technology internally. This makes software upgrading very
simple, and updates can now be obtained via the Internet (Figure E-3), e-mail, or on CD.
This section 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 by simply connecting the GBEI
10/100/1000 Ethernet port to the Ethernet port of a computer.
•
The firmware update is transferred, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), to the unit.
The current base GBEI version can be viewed at the top level menu of the front panel display
CLR
(press
button several times to view). Also, you can find the firmware information within the
Util
Firmware
Continue upgrading the unit using the instructions in Section E.5.1.
