4.4.2 Use Windows Command-Line to Perform the Ethernet FTP Upload
Procedure
Do these steps:
1. Use Command-line to send a “PING” command to confirm proper communication between
the User PC and the CDM-760:
• Type “ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” at the Command-line prompt (where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ is
the CDM-760 Ethernet Management IP Address). The response should confirm whether
the PC is properly connected to and communicating with the modem.
2. Make note of the active firmware image that the CDM-760 is running at present:
• From the CDM-760 Front Panel, use the arrow keys to view the SELECT: Utility →
Firmware screen. The top line of this screen displays the running active image as
“ActiveImage:1” or “ActiveImage:2”.
The FTP upload procedure will overwrite the standby image.
3. Use Command-line to transfer (FTP) the files from the User PC to the CDM-760:
• Make sure you are active in the proper working folder (directory) created earlier – if not,
type “cd CDM760”.
• Type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ is the CDM-760 Ethernet
Management IP Address).
• If Command-line prompts you for a user name, one is not required. Press Enter to
continue.
• The Command-line prompt changes to “ftp>”. Type "put F0020627.zip F0020627.zip" at
the prompt (without quotes) to begin the file transfer.
See Appendix A. OBSOLETE FIRMWARE FTP UPDATE PROCEDURES for
instructions on updating CDM-760 modems running FW Vers. 1.1.1
through 1.3.1.
The file transfer process takes about 10 minutes – do not power off the PC or modem
during this time. As the upgrade process continues, the modem Front Panel displays:
