Task 1. Managing Modem Firmware
Inspecting and upgrading modem firmware is a fundamental part of commissioning a NAS. Cisco posts
new firmware versions on CCO for you to download via FTP. For more information, go to the
Cisco Software Center at the following URL:

A specific architecture surrounds integrated modem technology. Integrated modems get their modem
firmware from a file that is stored in one of three places:
Bundled into the Cisco IOS software
Stored in Flash memory
Stored in bootFlash memory
The modem looks first for its firmware inside the bundled Cisco IOS image. The modem will not look
outside the bundled image unless you manually change the configuration settings by using
the
copy
source
modem
command or
spe
command.
1.1 Inspecting Modem Firmware
Before you upgrade modem firmware for MICA or Microcom modems, perform the following tasks:
Determine the version of firmware that is currently loaded in each modem
(for example, 2.6.2.0).
