4.4 Performing the FTP Upload Procedure
To proceed with the firmware update procedure, assumptions are made that:
• The CPA is connected to a user-supplied, Windows-based PC as follows:
o The PC serial port is connected to the CPA’s ‘J6 |COM1’ port
o The PC Ethernet port is connected to the CPA’s ‘J8 10/100 ETHERNET’ port
with a user-supplied hub, switch, or a direct Ethernet cable connection.
o The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the CPA
Serial or Telnet interfaces) and a compatible Web browser (for operation
of the ISSPA Web Server 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. Use Command-Line to send a ‘PING’ command to confirm proper connection and
communication between the user PC and the CPA:
• Obtain the IP Address of the unit by using one of the following methods:
o If using the CPA front panel, view the CONFIG: Remote  Ethernet Address
screen:
Ether IP Address/Range:
192.168.001.014/24(
