4.1.4 Remote Firmware Update via FTP
See Chapter 5, Updating Firmware.
The CDD-56xA/L Multi-Channel Demodulator uses flash memory technology internally. Firmware
update archive files may be downloaded from the Internet to a user PC (from Comtech EF Data’s
website), or obtained through Comtech EF Data Customer Support via e-mail or on CD by standard mail
delivery.
Once acquired from Comtech EF Data, new firmware can be uploaded from the user PC by File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) without opening the unit or having to be in the same physical location.
4.1.5 Configuration Backup and Restore via FTP
All demodulator configuration parameters are stored in a simple text file. The parameter file can easily be
retrieved locally or remotely by FTP. The file can then be used to quickly configure a replacement unit if
needed.
