Chapter 4. UPDATING FIRMWARE
4.1 Updating Firmware via the Internet
TO ENSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO OPERATE THE PCB‐4000
WITH ITS LATEST AVAILABLE FIRMWARE.
The PCB‐4000 1+1 Phase Combiner 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 PCB‐4000 Firmware Update process is as follows:
• Transfer the new firmware update for upgrading the PCB‐4000 to a user‐provided PC
intended for Monitor and Control (M&C) of the PCB‐4000 system.
• Connect the PCB‐4000 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 PCB‐4000 – via use of the provided FLSHCSAT.exe utility
program.
