A.3.1

Prerequisites

COMTECH EF DATA

DOES NOT PROVIDE THIS UTILITY PROGRAM.

Before proceeding with the CDM-760 FW Ver. 1.1.1 FileZilla-based FTP utility

application installation / configuration and the Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure, this

section assumes that:

•

Your CDM-760 is connected to a user-supplied, Windows-based PC running the

latest version of Java, and:

o

The PC Ethernet port is connected to the CDM-760 rear panel J4 | MGMT

RJ-45 M&C port with a user-supplied hub, switch, or direct Ethernet cable

connection. Note that the optional High-Speed Packet Processor (and its RJ-

45 M&C and data connections) is not available to FW Ver. 1.1.1 users.

o

The PC is running a compatible Web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer 8 or

later) for operation of the CDM-760 HTTP Interface.

o

The PC serial port is connected to the CDM-760 rear panel J3 | REMOTE

serial port with a standard user serial cable.

o

The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the CDM-

760 Serial Remote Control Interface).

•

You have noted the CDM-760 Ethernet Management IP Address using either the

CDM-760 Front Panel or the Serial Remote Control Interface. You may also use

the CDM-760 HTTP Interface Admin | Access page to review and reconfigure this

IP Address as needed.

•

You have downloaded (or otherwise received from Comtech EF Data) the

desired firmware update(s), and you have extracted the firmware files into an

accessible temporary folder (e.g., C:\CDM760) on the User PC.

•

You have configured your modem remote control for “Ethernet” or

“Ser+Ethernet” – confirm by viewing the SELECT: Configuration → Remote

screen:

Remote Control:Ser+Ethernet

Inband:Disable
