Appendix B
Updating the modem software
The Fallback Updater utility updates the modem’s fallback.bin file with the current
software release. Update the
fallback.bin
file only if you are instructed to do so
by Hughes.
The Fallback Updater is typically distributed to installers, when it is needed, as a
.ZIP
file in an email message and may also be available for download from your
installation support web site. If you need the web site address, contact Installer
Support.
Extracting files
These are general instructions for extracting the Fallback Updater files.
1. Create a folder for the Fallback Updater on your installer laptop.
2. Copy the
.ZIP
file to the folder you created.
This file contains the Updater utility and all supporting files.
3. Extract the files from the
.ZIP
file to the same folder or to another folder.
It is recommended that you extract the files to a folder that will contain only the
extracted files.
Update instructions
The files extracted with the Fallback Updater include instructions for using the
Fallback Updater. To ensure success, follow the provided instructions exactly.
The instructions may include troubleshooting information.
If troubleshooting instructions tell you to power cycle the modem, do not power
cycle the satellite modem by unplugging the power cord from the modem’s rear
panel. Doing so could result in static electricity discharge that could shock you
and/or damage the modem.
