There are two Iridium image slots: primary and fallback. If the primary image is valid, the
Iridium modem boots with the primary image. If the primary image is invalid or missing, it boots
with the fallback image. If both images are invalid or not found, the Iridium modem enters the
Iridium recovery mode. The Boot Source in the About page below shows the image type that
the Iridium modem is booted with. The Iridium firmware update is supported at all times.

The Reboot button on the Power page restarts the Quicksilver and ends the current user login
session. Any runtime configuration changes not saved to the startup configuration file will be
lost after a restart.
Use the Reboot into Recovery Mode button to recover the device from a bad state. When the
device is in recovery mode you will not be able to access the website. Please do not put your
device in recovery mode unless you have been advised to do so by an NAL customer service
representative. If you unintentionally press the button, you will need to manually power off and
then power on the device to bring it back to normal operation.
