7. Send a “ping” command to the modem to verify the connection and communication.
First, determine the IP address of the modem remotely or using the front panel:
• Remotely - use the <0/IPA? command
• Front panel – Use the
SELECT: CONFIG Æ Remote Æ Remote ÆEthernet menu.
Then, using DOS to PING (and FTP): Click “Start” on the Windows toolbar, then select the
“Run...” option. As an alternative, use the “DOS Prompt” or “Command Prompt” icons in
the Start Menu:
• Using Win95 or Win98: Type “command”.
• Using WinNT, Win2K or WinXP: Type “cmd”.
At the DOS prompt, type “ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” (where "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the modem IP
address). The results should confirm whether or not the modem is connected and
communicating.
8. Initiate an FTP session with the modem (the example uses a DOS window):
a. From the PC, type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the IP address of
the CDM-Qx/QxL.
b. Enter your admin user name and password to complete login.
c. Verify the FTP transfer is binary by typing "bin".
d. Type "prompt" then type "hash" to facilitate the file transfers.
9. Transfer the files.
Type
"put FW0000114*.bin bulk:" to begin the file transfers. The destination “bulk:” must
be all lower case. It will take approximately one minute to transfer the file.
10. Verify the file transfer.
a. The PC should report that the file transfer has occurred, and the display on the
modem will stop reporting:
Sector | REFLASHING.......... PLEASE WAIT
No. XXX | [ ]
b. Terminate the FTP session by typing "bye" and closing the DOS window.
c. Verify that the new file loaded using the procedure in Step 1.
IMPORTANT
Do
NOT power down the modem while reflashing – please wait!

SELECT: UTIL
Æ Firmware Æ Select and use the left or right arrows (◄►) on the front panel
keypad to change to the other image, then reboot the modem.
