INTERFACE (GbEI) (CDI-70).
9.2 Base Modem 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 Util ÆFirmware Æ Info ÆImage#1, Image#2 menu tree.
Using serial remote control, you can query the firmware revision levels with the
<0/SWR? Command. (Abbreviated)
Or
<0/FRW? Command (Detailed)
2. Create a temporary directory (folder) on your PC.
Windows:
Select File Æ New Æ 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.
Note: The c: is the drive letter used in this example. Any valid writable drive
letter can be used.
Alternative Method – CMD Prompt: At the command prompt (c:\>) type "MD temp"
without quotes (MD stands for make directory). This is the same as creating a new folder
from Windows. You should now have a "c:\temp" subdirectory created, where c: is the
drive letter used in the example.
3. Download the correct firmware file to this temporary folder.
Access the download server with the flash firmware data files link:
