Re‐FlashingYourCDM‐570A/570ALSatelliteModem 9 FLG‐CDM570ARevision1
IV. PerformtheEthernetFTPUploadProcedure

1) Youmayproceedwiththefirmwareupdateprocedureundertheassumptionsthat:

 YourCDM‐570A/Lisconnectedtoauser‐supplied,Windows‐basedPC,and:

o YourPCserialportisconnectedtotheCDM‐570A/L“RemoteControl”port
withastandarduserserialcable.

o Your
PCEthernetportisconnectedtotheCDM‐570A/LIPPacketProcessor
“Traffic100”Ethernetportwithauser‐suppliedhub,switch,ordirectEthernet
cableconnection.

o YourPCisrunningaterminalemulationprogram(foroperationoftheCDM‐
570A/L’sSerialInterface)andacompatibleWebbrowser
(foroperationofthe
CDM‐570AHTTPInterface).

 YourCDM‐570A/LfirmwareandEthernetTraffic/ManagementIPAddresshasbeen
notedusingeithertheCDM‐570A/L’sSerialInterfaceortheCDM‐570AHTTP
Interface‘Admin|Firmware|BaseModem’/‘Admin|Firmware|Packet
Processor’
and‘Configuration|LAN’pages,respec tively.

 Thelatestfirmwarefileshavebeendownloadedorotherwisereceivedfrom
ComtechEFDataandareavailableontheUserPCinanaccessibletemporary
folder.

2) Modemredundancyfeaturesmustbedisabledpriortoupdate.

3) Whenupdatingfirmwareon
modemsequippedwiththeIPPacketProcessor,you
mustuploadboththeBaseModemandIPPacketProcessorfirmwarefiles,andselect
thefirmwareslotspriortorebootingthemodem.

BeforeyoucantransferthefirmwarefilesfromtheUserPCtotheCDM‐570A/L,youmustfirstuse
Command‐
lineto“ping”themodemtoconfirmproperconnectionandcommunicationbetweenthe
UserPCandthemodem:

 Type“pingxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”attheCommand‐lineprompt(where‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’istheunit
EthernetTraffic/ManagementIPAddress).Theresponseshouldconfirmwhethertheunitisproperly
connectedandcommunica ting.

You
mayproceedonceyouhaveverifiedUserPC‐to‐Modemcommunications.

1) UseCommand‐linetotransfer(FTP)thefilesfromtheUserPCtotheCDM‐570A/L:

A. Type"ftpxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"(where‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ’ is theCDM‐570A/LEthernet
Traffic/ManagementIPAddress).

B. TheAdminUserName
andPasswordwhenprompted.ThedefaultUserNameandPasswordis
“comtech”.
