CDM-840 Remote Router Revision 2
Updating Firmware MN-CDM840
4–8
• Type “dir” to list the files extracted to the temporary directory from the
downloaded archive file.
The firmware files have been successfully downloaded and are now available for transfer to
the CDM-840.
4.4 Performing the Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure
To proceed with the firmware update procedure, assumptions are made that:
• The CDM-840 is connected to a user-supplied, Windows-based PC, and:
o The PC serial port is connected to the CDM-840 ‘CONSOLE’ port.
o The PC Ethernet port is connected to the CDM-840 ‘MANAGEMENT | FE’
10/100 BaseT Ethernet port with a user-supplied hub, switch, or direct
Ethernet cable connection.
o The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the
CDM-840 Serial Interface) and a compatible Web browser (for operation
of the CDM-840 Web Server Interface).
• The CDM-840 Management IP Address has been noted using the CDM-840
Serial Interface, and the firmware has been identified using either the Serial
Interface or the CDM-840 Web Server Interface ‘Admin | Firmware’ page.
• The latest firmware files have been downloaded or otherwise received from
Comtech EF Data and are available on the user PC in an accessible temporary
folder.
1. Use Command-line to send a “PING” command to confirm proper connection and
communication between the user PC and the CDM-840:
• If the Management IP Address of the unit is still not known, type “info” at the Serial
Interface CDM-840> command prompt and record the displayed information.
Alternately, use Serial Remote Control or the Web Server Interface:
o Serial Remote Control – Type the “<0/IPA?” remote query (without quotes) at the
Serial Interface CDM-840> command prompt. The unit returns the configured
Management IP Address:
>0000/IPA=192.168.1.12/24 (default)
o Web Server Interface – View the IP
Address/CIDR Mask entry on the
‘Configuration | Interface | FE Mgt’ page:
