1 Connect the user PC to the CDD-56X 10/100 Ethernet port either via a hub or a switch or
with a direct Ethernet cable connection, and connect the CDD-56X Console port (do NOT
use the Remote Control port) to a serial port on the user PC using an adapter cable. See
Figure 4-1.
2 Identify the product in use, its firmware number for download, and its version number.
The current product M&C version and/or firmware number can be viewed as follows:
• Using the 10/100 Ethernet port, via HTTP and the IP Module Web Server Interface –

more information, see Chapter 6. WEB SERVER (HTTP) INTERFACE.
• Using the 10/100 Ethernet port, via Telnet and the IP Module Command Line Interface
(CLI) – first type ‘O’ (for Operations and Maintenance) on the main page, and then
type‘I’ (for Unit Information). For more information, see Chapter 7. IP MODULE – CLI
AND TELNET OPERATION.

• Drive letter “c:” is used in these examples. Any valid, writable drive
letter can be used.
