Mocomtech CDM-570 - Manual (Page 419)

Appendix E. FLASH UPGRADING
The CDM-570/570L eliminates the need for updating firmware by physically replacing
EPROMs. Instead, the CDM-570/570L modem uses ‘flash memory’ technology
internally, and new firmware can be uploaded to the unit from an external PC, as follows:
Go to: www.comtechefdata.com
Click on: downloads
Click on: flash upgrades
This makes software upgrading very simple, and updates can now be sent via the Internet,
E-mail, or on disk. The upgrade can be performed without opening the unit, by simply
connecting the modem to the USB or Ethernet port of a computer.
E.1 Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure
1. Identify the reflashable product, firmware number, and version for download.
The current base modem M&C version can be viewed at the top level menu of the
front panel display (press “CLR” button several times to view). Also, you can find
the firmware information within the Image#2 > menu tree.
Using serial remote control, you can query the firmware revision levels with the
<0/SWR? Command. (Abbreviated)
Or
<)/FRW? Command (Detailed)
2. Create a temporary directory (folder) on your PC.
Windows: Select File > New > Folder > and rename the New Folder to "temp" or
another convenient and unused name. Assuming "temp" works, you should now
have a "c:\temp" folder created.
