CDM-570A/570AL Satellite Modem with Optional Packet Processor
MN-CDM570A
Updating Firmware
Revision 2
4–11
o If the Packet Processor is
installed:
Type “put FW-0020683*_#.#.#.bin” (make sure you do not
type the destination
“a:\bulk.bin” as was done for the previous upload option).
For either option, it will take several minutes to transfer the file and update the
firmware image.
e)
Once the file transfers, Command-line displays the upload result, similar to:
ftp: XXXXXXX bytes sent in XX.XXSeconds XXX.XXXKbytes/sec.
In the event you receive the “Connection closed by remote host.” message,
wait another minute before continuing. The firmware upload sometimes
takes longer than the FTP client allows.
f)
Once the FTP upload is complete, as the upgrade process continues, the modem front
panel displays:
UPGRADING FIRMWARE
Please Wait...
The process sequences through several blocks – this will take several minutes. Once the
update process is complete, the modem returns you to the previously active menu
screen.
g)
Type "bye" to terminate the FTP session, and then close the Command-line window.
2.
Use the modem front panel menus, the CDM-570A HTTP Interface ‘Admin | Firmware |
Modem’ page, or issue the Serial Remote Interface <0/SWR? or <0/FRW? query, as shown
previously, to verify that the PC-to-Modem FTP file transfer was successful.
If you are a Base Modem user, the CDM-570A/570AL is now operating with its
latest firmware and you may skip to Step 6. However, if you are running a CDM-
570A/570AL with the optional Packet Processor installed, do NOT
reboot at this
time – once you have uploaded the Base Modem firmware you must proceed to
the next step (Step 3) to upload the Packet Processor firmware.
3.
Before you can upload the Packet Processor firmware, you must first specify which firmware
slot will receive the firmware update file transfer.
• On the CDM-570A HTTP Interface ‘Admin | Firmware | Packet Processor’ page, use the
‘Upgrade To’ drop-down list to select Latest, Image 1, or Image 2.
• Click [Submit] to save.
You may proceed once you have specified the file transfer destination slot.
