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 software image. The modem does
not look outside the bundled image unless you manually change the configuration settings by using the
copy source modem command or spe command.
