Chapter 4. UPDATING FIRMWARE
4.1 Updating Firmware via the Internet
TO ENSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO OPERATE THE
ODM/R‐840 WITH ITS LATEST AVAILABLE FIRMWARE.
The ODM/R‐840 Outdoor Remote Router is factory‐shipped with its latest version of operating
firmware. If a firmware update is needed, it can be acquired over satellite; by download from
Comtech EF Data Web site (
www.comtechefdata.com ); or from Comtech EF Data Customer
Support during normal business hours via e‐mail or on CD by standard mail delivery.
The ODM/R‐840 Firmware Update process is as follows:
• Perform the update for the ODM/R‐840 over satellite or by connecting the ‘ETHERNET
T/M’ 10/100/1000 BaseT Gigabit Ethernet RJ‐45 Traffic and Management Interface Port
to the Ethernet port of a user‐supplied PC.
• Download the firmware update via the Internet to the user PC.
• Transfer the firmware update, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), from the user PC to the
ODM/R‐840.
