This brief tutorial describes how to update cable modem firmware via telnet, the command below makes the cable modem download firmware.bin from the TFTP Server at 192.168.100.10

dload -f -i 1 192.168.100.10 firmware.bin

CODECOMMAND:dload USAGE:dload[-i Number] [-l] [-f] IpAddress Filename{255} DESCRIPTION: Downloads the specified s/w image from the TFTP server and stores it in the image slot specified.The image must be valid for the platform, and must not contain any security, encryption, or digital signatures.It must be a simple image file with only the normal ProgramStore compression header.Parameters: -i-- Specifies the image slot to store the image to. -l-- Allows a large image to be stored, spanning images 1 and 2, if allowed by the flash driver configuration. -f-- Forces the given image to be accepted, as long as the CRCs are valid. Note that you must always specify the TFTP server address and filename; unlike the dload command in the Docsis directory, this command doesn't make use of any Docsis-specific nonvol settings, so it can't remember the last values used. EXAMPLES: dload 11.24.4.3 vxram_sto.bin -- Stores the image to the default image slot. dload -i 1 11.24.4.3 vxram_sto.bin-- Store the image to slot 1.
