8.1 Determining Current Software and Version Availability
To determine the current software version used by the modem:
1. From the Modem Main Menu, type "6" to access the Software Upgrade Screen.
2. View the Active Firmware and Inactive Firmware versions. If applicable, local and remote,
primary and secondary modems each will report Firmware versions at this screen.
3. Write these version numbers down. You'll need to refer to them when you check to see if a
newer version is available from the Canoga Perkins Web site.

Note: If the modem has been updated previously, you'll notice that the Inactive
Firmware version is older (a lower digit, for example 1.06) than the Active
Firmware version (A higher digit, for example 1.07). If the modem has not been
upgraded yet, then both the Active and Inactive Firmware versions will most likely
be the same.

download it from the Canoga Perkins website, or call Canoga Perkins to have a CD sent to you.
