About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and
Formats: The flashable files on the download server
are organized by product prefix; firmware number
(verify that the correct firmware number is known –
see Step 1); revision letter, if applicable; and release
version. Where the asterisk is the 1- or 2-place
revision letter and V### represents the firmware
version; per the chassis restrictions mentioned on the
previous page, the bulk firmware for the CDM-
Qx/QxL is FW11245*_V1## or FW-0000107 V2##.
The current version firmware releases are provided. If applicable, a minimum of one version
prior to each current release is also available. Be sure to identify and download the desired
version. The downloadable files are stored in two formats: *.exe (self-extracting) and *.zip
(compressed). Some firewalls will not allow the downloading of *.exe files. In this case,
download the *.zip file instead.
For additional help with "zipped" file types, refer to PKZIP for Windows, WinZip, or
ZipCentral help files. PKZIP for DOS is not supported due to file naming conventions.
4. Unzip the files in the temporary folder on the PC. At least three files should be extracted (the
FW0000107E.zip firmware download is shown in this example):
• QxReleaseNotes_v#-#-#.pdf (or a variation of that filename): Firmware Version Release
notes, where “v#-#-#” denotes the firmware version.
• CDM-Qx_Bulk_v#-#-#.bin: Firmware, where “v#-#-#” denotes the firmware version.
• readme.txt: Download instructions.
5. Confirm that the files have been extracted to the specified temporary folder on the PC. In
DOS, use “cd c:\temp” to change to the temporary directory created in Step 2, then use the
“dir” command to list the files extracted from the downloaded archive file.
6. Connect the external PC serial port to the CDM-Qx/QxL modem M&C 10/100 Ethernet port
via a hub or a switch, or directly to a PC using a crossover cable.
IMPORTANT
Base modem firmware can be loaded via the Ethernet M&C port.
