Overview
The ADp Download Firmware feature allows you to download firmware updates to 3900 Series modems directly
from the 6700 Series NMS on your PC.
All the selected local devices are downloaded first (via broadcast). The remote devices are downloaded by their
controlling devices. Multiple local devices can download to their remote devices simultaneously, but a single
control device can only download to one remote device at a time.
Firmware Download Procedure
To download firmware to 3900 Series modems,
1. Select the Download Firmware icon in the toolbar. The Download Firmware window appears
(Figure 1).

4. Once you have made the appropriate selections on the Download Firmware screen, click on the Download
button. The ADp Firmware Download window appears (see Figure 3 in the ADp Firmware Download
