SERS
Up to 10 users attached to the LAN Access Point interfaces
(Ethernet, USB and Wireless LAN) can access the MMI at the same
time. Each user establishes a TCP connection to the Satellite IP
modem.
In a multi-user scenario, it is advisable to have one user do all MT
configuration changes to avoid confusion; other users could use an
MMI profile that prevents configuration changes.

PGRADE
Upgrading MT software is a two-phase process controlled by an
“Upgrader” function in the MMI. The Upgrader is accessed from a
drop down menu on the MMI application
In the first phase, the software is downloaded from a common
Network location (i.e., an Internet HTTP/FTP server) to your computer.
The computer may utilize the BGAN network or any other accessible
network to obtain the new software image.
In the second phase, the Upgrader copies the current software
image from your computer, stores it in the modem, and then installs
it on the modem. If the upgrade fails, the old software is available
on your computer and can be re-downloaded to the modem.
