5.2 About Firmware Files, Naming, Versions and Formats
All CEFD products are shipped configured with the
current version firmware release. Comtech EF Data’s
website catalogues its firmware update files by product
type (e.g., modem, converter, etc.) and specific
model/optional configuration. The example naming
schematic at right shows the demodulator firmware
download hyperlink F0000122X_V###, where ‘X’
denotes the revision letter, and ### represents the
release version, of the firmware. (The linked file applies to Version 1.6.3 and earlier operation
without the 3xDES Encryption option.)
The CDD-56X is optionally available with 3xDES Encryption. The desired firmware updates are
available from Comtech EF Data per the following table:

The firmware download files are available from Comtech EF Data in two archive file formats:
*.exe (self extracting) and *.zip (compressed). Some firewalls will not allow downloading of
*.exe files; in this case, download the *.zip file instead. If applicable, one version prior to the
current release is also available for download.
For additional help with "zipped" file types, refer to the help files provided with
the "PKZIP for Windows", "WinZip", or "ZipCentral" file archiving programs.
“PKZIP for DOS” is not supported due to file naming conventions.
