CiM IP Module Firmware

Perform the CiM IP Module upgrade by using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) utility program.

The latest firmware releases are available on the Comtech EF Data web site (http://www.comtechefdata.com). An FTP utility is required to perform a Comtech EF Data firmware reflash. If web downloading is not available or practical, contact the Network Customer Support department (cimfss@comtechefdata.com) to obtain the firmware via an alternate method.

The downloadable firmware files are provided in both .zip or self extracting .exe formats. If your firewall does not permit downloading an

.exe file, try the .zip file instead. The downloadable file contents are identical, usually comprised of several flashable data files.
