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
