A.2 FW Vers. 1.3.1 / 1.2.1 Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure
A.2.1 Prerequisites
Before proceeding with the CDM-760 FW Vers. 1.2.1 / 1.3.1 Ethernet FTP Upload
Procedure, this section assumes that:
• Your CDM-760 is connected to a user-supplied, Windows-based PC running the
latest version of Java, and:
o The PC Ethernet port is connected to the CDM-760 rear panel J4 | MGMT
RJ-45 M&C port with a user-supplied hub, switch, or direct Ethernet cable
connection. Note that the optional High-Speed Packet Processor, and its RJ-
45 M&C and data connections, is not available to FW Vers. 1.3.1 and earlier
users.
o The PC is running a compatible Web browser (for operation of the
CDM-760 HTTP Interface).
o The PC serial port is connected to the CDM-760 rear panel J3 | REMOTE
serial port with a standard user serial cable.
o The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the CDM-
760 Serial Remote Control Interface).
• You have noted the CDM-760 Ethernet Management IP Address using either the
CDM-760 Front Panel or the Serial Remote Control Interface. You may also use
the CDM-760 HTTP Interface Admin | Access page to review and reconfigure this
IP Address as needed.
• You have downloaded (or otherwise received from Comtech EF Data) the
desired firmware update(s), and you have extracted the firmware files into an
accessible temporary folder (e.g., C:\CDM760) on the User PC.
• You have configured your modem remote control for “Ethernet” or
“Ser+Ethernet” – confirm by viewing the SELECT: Configuration → Remote
screen:
Remote Control:Ser+Ethernet
Inband:Disable ()

This section assumes that:
• You have a working User PC-to-modem operational setup;
• You have created a temporary file folder on your PC for extraction and
placement of the firmware update files. See Sect. 4.2 in Chapter 4. UPDATING
FIRMWARE for complete instructions on completing these tasks.
• You have extracted the Version 1.3.1 or 1.2.1 firmware files into an accessible
temporary folder (e.g., C:\CDM760) that you created earlier on the User PC –
see Sect. 4.3 in Chapter 4. UPDATING FIRMWARE for completing these tasks.
