Upgrading your existing Cisco 67x External Modem operating system to version 2.4.2. consists of 2 sub-processes: Connecting to your Cisco 67x, and Download the new CBOS 2.4.2 to your Cisco 67x
Connecting to your Cisco 67x
· STEP1 ·
Connect your Cisco 67x to your PC. Ensure that the yellow Ethernet cable is connected to the Ethernet port on your PC to the "ENET" port on the back of the Cisco 67x.
Connect the blue management cable to a "COM" port on your PC to the "MGMT" port on the back of the Cisco 67x.
Connect the modem power cable and ensure the green power LED is lit.
NOTE 1: Detailed cable installation instructions can be found in your Qwest DSLsm User Guide under the Manual Modem Configuration section.
NOTE 2: Identify which PC COM Port the blue management cable is installed on. You will need this information for the next step.

In this step, a terminal emulation connection is required to connect to the Cisco 67x. Hyper Terminal is a widely used terminal program that is included with Windows®. Detailed connection instructions can be found in your Qwest DSLsm User Guide under Manual Modem Configuration in step 2.
To access Hyper Terminal, click START on your Windows® desktop and select PROGRAMS. Then, select ACCESSORIES and then, select HYPERTERMINAL. Click on the Hyper Terminal icon to launch Hyper Terminal.
Windows 2000 users select START, then select PROGRAMS, then select ACCESSORIES, then select COMMUNICATIONS, and then select HYPERTERMINAL.

Once you have the files extracted all you will need to do is to double-click on the setup icon, follow the prompts and and take the defaults.
