Chapter 4. UPDATING FIRMWARE
4.1 Update Firmware via the Internet
BE SURE TO OPERATE THE CDM-625A WITH ITS LATEST AVAILABLE FIRMWARE.
The CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem is factory-shipped with its latest version of operating
firmware. If a firmware update is needed, once Ethernet connectivity has been established with
the unit, you can download the update archive file from the Comtech EF Data Web site
( www.comtechefdata.com ), or obtain it through e-mail from Comtech EF Data Product Support.
You can perform the CDM-625A Firmware Update without opening the unit as follows:
• Connect the rear panel serial “Remote Control” port or “10/100 Ethernet” port to a serial or
Ethernet port of the User PC.
• Download the firmware update archive file via the Internet to the User PC.
• Use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer the extracted firmware update files from the
User PC to the unit.
