Chapter 4. UPDATING FIRMWARE
4.1 Updating Firmware via the Internet
TO ENSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO OPERATE THE LBC‐4000
WITH ITS LATEST AVAILABLE FIRMWARE.
The LBC‐4000 L‐Band Up/Down Converter System is factory‐shipped with the latest version of
operating firmware. If a firmware update is needed, it can be acquired by download from the
Comtech EF Data Web site (
www.comtechefdata.com ) or from Comtech EF Data Customer
Support, during normal business hours, via e‐mail or on CD by standard mail delivery.
The LBC‐4000 Firmware Update process is as follows:
• Transfer the new firmware update for upgrading the LBC‐4000 to a user‐provided PC
intended for Monitor and Control (M&C) of the LBC‐4000 system.
• Connect the LBC‐4000 rear panel ‘J1 | COM1’ serial port to an available serial port on
the user‐provided PC.
• Once extracted from the downloaded archive file, execute the firmware update –
without having to open the LBC‐4000 – via use of the provided FLSHCSAT.exe utility
program.
