CDM-700 High Speed Satellite Modem Revision 5
Flash Upgrading MN/CDM700.IOM
About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and Formats: The flashable files on the
download server are organized by product first, then by firmware number, (make sure you
know the correct firmware number; see Step 1) version, if applicable, and release date.
The base modem bulk firmware for the CDM-700 is:
FW10236*_*_* (where the asterisks show revision, version and date)
The current version firmware release is provided. If applicable, one version prior to the
current release is also available. Be sure to identify and download the desired version.
The downloadable files are stored in two formats: *.exe (self extracting) and *.zip
(compressed). Some firewalls will not allow the downloading of *.exe files. In this case,
download the *.zip file instead.
For additional help with "zipped" file types, refer to "PKZip for Windows", "Winzip", or
"Zip Central" help files. Pkzip for DOS is not supported due to file naming conventions.
4. Unzip the files in the temporary folder on your PC.
At least 3 files should be extracted:
a. FW10236x.bin, where "x" is the version (bulk image file).
b. FW10236x.txt, where "x" is the version (history notes).
c. README.TXT installation notes.
5. Connect the client PC to the CDM-700 modem 10/100 Ethernet M&C via a hub or a switch,
or directly to a PC with a crossover cable.
Verify the communication and connection by issuing a "ping" command to the modem.
You can find the IP address of the modem either remotely using the <0/IPA? command
or from the front panel with the
Config Æ Remote ÆRemote Æ Ethernet menus.
To PING and FTP from DOS, press the “Start” button on the Windows toolbar, and
select the “Run...” option. From Win95 or Win98, type “command”. From WinNT,
Win2K or WinXP, type “cmd”. You can also use the “DOS Prompt” or “Command
Prompt” icons in the Start Menu. Now change to the temporary directory you created
earlier with “cd c:\temp”. A quick “dir” will show the downloaded files.
6. Initiate an FTP session with the modem. The example is with a DOS window.
a. From the PC, type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the IP
address of the CDM-700.
b. Enter your admin user name and password to complete login.
