5.3.3 Bulk Firmware FTP Upload Procedure
Step Task
1 Verify that:
• The firmware update has been downloaded to the user PC and is available in the
temporary folder, and
• The user PC is connected to the CDD-56X 10/100 Ethernet port either via a hub or a
switch or with a direct Ethernet cable connection, and that the CDD-56X Console port
(do NOT use the Remote Control port) is connected to a serial port on the user PC
using an adapter cable.
2 Confirm that there is proper connection and communication between the user PC and the
CDD-56X.
First, determine the IP Address as follows:
• Using the front panel – use the SELECT: CONFIG Æ Remote Æ Remote Æ
Ethernet menu.
• Using serial remote control – use the <0/IPA? query.
Then, use Command-line to “ping” the modem:
• From Windows, click [Start] on the Windows toolbar, and then select the Run... option
(as an alternative, use the ‘Command-line Prompt’ or ‘Command Prompt’ icon in
the Start menu):
o Using Win95 or Win98 – Type “command”.
o Using WinNT, Win2K or WinXP – Type “cmd”.
Type “ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” at the Command-line prompt (where "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the
CDD-56X IP Address). The results should confirm whether or not the modem is connected and
communicating.
3 Use Command-line to initiate an FTP session with the CDD-56X:
A. Type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ denotes the unit IP Address).
B. Enter the Admin User Name and Password to complete login.
C. Type “bin” to set the binary transfer mode.
D. Type "prompt", and then type "hash" to facilitate the file transfers.
4 Upload the files from the temporary folder on the user PC:
Type "put FW-0000###*.bin" (where ‘0000###’ is the firmware number, and ’*’ is the
firmware revision letter) to begin the file transfers.
The process sequences through several blocks – this may take several minutes. When the
firmware update image file has been uploaded, it will be written to flash memory.
