• On the RAN & WAN Optimization product page – select the turboIP®-G2 product
hyperlink;
• Select the appropriate software EXE or ZIP download hyperlink.
o About File Archive Formats: Comtech EF Data provides its downloadable files in
two compressed archive formats: *.exe (self-extracting) and *.zip (compressed).
The *.exe file does not require a file archiver and compression utility program such
as PKZIP for Windows, WinZip, ZipCentral, etc. (PKZIP for DOS is not supported
due to file naming conventions). Comtech EF Data does not provide this utility
program.
Some firewalls do not allow the download of *.exe files. Download the *.zip file
instead, and extract the software files from the archive download with a user-
supplied utility program. For detailed information on handling archived files, refer
to the utility program’s Help documentation.
o About Software Numbers, File Versions, and Formats: Comtech EF Data’s Web
site catalogues its software update files by product type (e.g., router, modem, etc.),
the specific model, and optional hardware configurations.
The turboIP-G2 software download hyperlink appears as F0000128X_V###,
where ‘X’ denotes the revision letter, and ‘###’ represents the software version
(e.g., V152 = Version 1.5.2).
