you use an Open-Source (freeware) FTP client called FileZilla.

A.3.1

Prerequisites

COMTECH EF DATA

DOES NOT PROVIDE THIS UTILITY PROGRAM.

Before proceeding with the CDM-760 FW Ver. 1.1.1 FileZilla-based FTP utility

application installation / configuration and the Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure, this

section assumes that:

Your CDM-760 is connected to a user-supplied, Windows-based PC running the

latest version of Java, and:

o

The PC Ethernet port is connected to the CDM-760 rear panel J4 | MGMT

RJ-45 M&C port with a user-supplied hub, switch, or direct Ethernet cable

connection. Note that the optional High-Speed Packet Processor (and its RJ-

45 M&C and data connections) is not available to FW Ver. 1.1.1 users.

o

The PC is running a compatible Web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer 8 or

later) for operation of the CDM-760 HTTP Interface.

o

The PC serial port is connected to the CDM-760 rear panel J3 | REMOTE

serial port with a standard user serial cable.

o

The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the CDM-

760 Serial Remote Control Interface).

You have noted the CDM-760 Ethernet Management IP Address using either the

CDM-760 Front Panel or the Serial Remote Control Interface. You may also use

the CDM-760 HTTP Interface Admin | Access page to review and reconfigure this

IP Address as needed.

You have downloaded (or otherwise received from Comtech EF Data) the

desired firmware update(s), and you have extracted the firmware files into an

accessible temporary folder (e.g., C:\CDM760) on the User PC.

You have configured your modem remote control for “Ethernet” or

“Ser+Ethernet” – confirm by viewing the SELECT: Configuration → Remote

screen:

Remote Control:Ser+Ethernet

Inband:Disable
