4.4 Performing the Automated FTP Upload Procedure
To proceed with the firmware update procedure, assumptions are made that:
• The PCB‐4000 is connected to a user‐supplied, Windows‐based PC, and:
o The PC serial port is connected to the ‘J1 | System COM’ port.
o The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the
PCB‐4000 serial remote interface).
• The latest firmware files have been downloaded or otherwise received from
Comtech EF Data and are available on the user PC in an accessible temporary
folder.
1. Double‐click FLSHCAT.EXE (filename or icon) on the PC desktop to execute
the FLASH UPLOAD utility program.
2. From the FLSHCAT dialogue box, select the
pertinent serial port used for communication
between the PC and the PCCB (this example
selects COM1, as noted at ‘
A’.)
3. Do not select a Baud Rate (‘
B’) other than the
default selection of 38400, unless otherwise
instructed by Comtech EF Data Technical Support.
4. Click ‘Software Upload’ (‘
C’).
Select the firmware file for upload. Click ‘Choose File’
then, once the Select a File Name dialogue box opens,
use the window on the right to navigate to the
desired folder. Finally, double‐click on the firmware
file from the window on the left.
