If a CDI-70 10/100/1000 Base-T Gigabit Ethernet Interface is used, a CDM-710/710L modem
running Firmware Ver. 4.1.6 requires a CDI-70 Interface running Firmware Ver. 1.1.2 or higher.

•
Stopping the FTP before the "PROGRAMMING FLASH SECTOR#xx PLEASE
WAIT" messaging sequence is complete could lead to an incomplete
download, and will require a repeat of Step 9.
•
The user must reflash both images with the same firmware version for the
unit to function properly.
•
The upgrade from an earlier version to 4.x.x is a one-way upgrade path. Once
an upgrade to 4.0.1 is completed it is no longer possible to revert to earlier
versions. If reflash to an earlier version is attempted, the modem will detect
and disallow it as a protective measure. The unit will also disallow an attempt
to switch to an image with an earlier version of firmware.
Bulk FTP done. Press CLEAR.
