CDM-710 Broadcast Satellite Modem Revision 10

1000 Base-T (GbE) Interface MN/CDM710.IOM

The current version firmware release is provided. If applicable, one version prior to

the current release is also available. Be sure to identify and download the desired

version.

The downloadable files are stored in two formats: *.exe (self extracting) and *.zip

(compressed). Some firewalls will not allow the downloading of *.exe files. In this

case, download the *.zip file instead.

For additional help with "zipped" file types, refer to "pkzip for windows", "winzip",

or "zip central" help files. Pkzip for DOS is not supported due to file naming

conventions.

4. Unzip the files in the temporary folder on your PC.

At least 3 files should be extracted:

• FW12547x.bin, where "x" is the version (bulk image file).

• FW12547x.txt, where "x" is the version (history notes).

• README.TXT installation notes

5. Connect the client PC to the CDI-70 (GBEI) 10/100/1000 Ethernet connector via a

hub or a switch, or directly to a PC with a crossover cable.

Verify the communication and connection by issuing a "ping" command to the

modem. You can find the management IP address of the GBEI interface using the

front panel with the <Config> <Intfc1> <Gigabit Ethernet> <Man> menus.

To PING and FTP from DOS, press the “Start” button on the Windows toolbar, and

select the “Run...” option. From Win95 or Win98, type, “command”. From WinNT,

Win2K or WinXP, type “cmd”. You can also use the “DOS Prompt” or “Command

Prompt” icons in the Start Menu. Now change to the temporary directory you created

earlier with “cd c:\temp”. A quick “dir” will show the downloaded files.

6. Initiate an FTP session with the modem. The example is with a DOS window.

a. From the PC, type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the

management IP address of the CDI-70 (GBEI).

b. Press <Enter> twice to bypass the user name and password to complete

c. Verify your FTP transfer is binary by typing "bin".

d. Type "prompt" then type "hash" to facilitate the file transfers.

7. Transfer the files.

Type "put FW12547*.bin bulk:" to begin the file transfers. The destination “bulk:”

must be all lower-case.
