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.
