4.2 About Firmware Files, Naming, Versions, and Formats
All CEFD products are shipped configured with the current version firmware release. Firmware
upgrades may be obtained from Comtech EF Data via download from the Internet to an external

The CDD-562L/564 is optionally available with 3xDES Encryption. The desired firmware

The firmware download files are available from Comtech EF Data in two file 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. If applicable, one version prior to the current
release is also available for download.
(Note: For additional help with "zipped" file types, refer to the help files provided with the
"PKZIP for Windows", "WinZip", or "ZipCentral" file archiving programs. “PKZIP for DOS” is
not supported due to file naming conventions.)
