Chapter 4. UPDATING FIRMWARE
4.1 Updating Firmware via the Internet
TO ENSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO OPERATE THE MCED‐100
WITH ITS LATEST AVAILABLE FIRMWARE.
The MCED‐100 MetaCarrier® Embedding Device is factory‐shipped with the latest version of
operating firmware. If a firmware update is needed, it can be acquired by download from
Comtech EF Data’s Web site (www.comtechefdata.com) or from Comtech EF Data Customer
Support during normal business hours via e‐mail or on CD by standard mail delivery.
The MCED‐100 Firmware Update process is as follows:
• Perform the update without opening the MCED‐100 by connecting the ‘ETHERNET
MANAGEMENT’ port on the MCED‐100 rear panel to the Ethernet port of a user‐
supplied PC.
• Download the firmware update via the Internet to the user PC.
• Transfer the firmware update, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), from the user PC to the
MCED‐100.
