• Stopping the FTP before the “PROGRAMMING FLASH SECTOR#xx PLEASE

WAIT” messaging sequence is complete could lead to an incomplete

download, and will require a repeat of Step 9.

• The user must reflash both images with the same firmware version for the

unit to function properly.

•

The upgrade from an earlier version to 4.x.x is a one-way upgrade path. Once

an upgrade to 4.0.1 is completed it is no longer possible to revert to earlier

versions. If reflash to an earlier version is attempted, the modem will detect

and disallow it as a protective measure. The unit will also disallow an attempt

to switch to an image with an earlier version of firmware.

Verify the file transfer:

The PC should report that the file transfer has occurred, and the display on the modem will report:

Bulk FTP done. Press CLEAR.

Terminate the FTP session:

Type "bye" and close the Command-line window.

Confirm that the new file was loaded by using the procedure in Step 1.

Change the desired image to boot.

From the CDM-710 front panel menu:

SELECT: UTIL Æ Firmware Æ Select (use ◄ ► arrows

to change to the other image), then cycle power to reboot the modem.

Verify the new firmware has booted by observing the Firmware Version displayed on the modem

front panel VFD (Video Fluorescent Display):

CDM-710 Modem

Firmware Version: #.#.#

Note: To load the second image, repeat Steps 8 through 11.
