HURAYA

IP+

Should a Thuraya IP+

Modem software upgrade become available, you

can complete the upgrade process yourself. The software can be

downloaded directly from the Internet using any available access

method, including Thuraya IP+.

PGRADING

OFTWARE

In order to upgrade software

you must first connect to the Internet

and

follow the steps listed below:

Connect your PC/Notebook to the Internet using Thuraya IP+

(satellite service), wired LAN, or dial-up connection.

Go to

www.thuraya.com

or use the Upgrade link on the

Properties

page if connected to the Thuraya IP+.

Go to the Web site area for Thuraya IP+ updates.

To download, select the latest upgrade package. The

browser proceeds to retrieve the package.

Once the package is downloaded, you are prompted to

execute the package. Select

Yes

and the upgrader

application will self-extract onto the PC’s hard drive.

Once the package is installed, it puts a shortcut on the

desktop and prompts you to

upgrade now

. Make sure the

Thuraya IP+

is now connected to the PC via Ethernet and is

powered up. Select the upgrade option on the PC, and the

program will allow you to upgrade the terminal.

The upgrader will query the current software version of the

terminal. You should choose whether you want to upgrade to

the newer version of software.

If you choose to upgrade the terminal, the process

automatically downloads the new release of software and

forces a terminal reboot.

When the terminal returns from reboot, you can verify that

the download was successful via the

Properties

page in the

wMMI or by confirming the new release on the upgrader.

10.

Once loaded onto a PC, the upgrade program can be used

to upgrade any number of Thuraya IP+

terminals. Just

connect them one at a time and execute the upgrade

program.
