4.8.1 Software
The modem software is automatically upgraded over the satellite without any user interaction. In
general, the only requirement for an upgrade to be successful is for the modem to have satellite
connectivity during the time of upgrade.
To allow a secure modem software upgrade mechanism, the flash memory of the modem can
contain two different software versions. A newly installed software version has to pass an automatic
software validation procedure.
•
After a successful software validation, the modem is automatically rebooted to activate the new
software.
The following table gives a description of the parameters in the Software menu:
Parameter

Software Version
The currently installed software version is displayed.
Alternate Software
Version
Only displayed when an alternative software version is present.
•
When this software validation process fails, the old software version remains in use. The passive
memory bank now contains a newer software version that did not pass the validation process. In
this case, the user has the possibility to re-trigger the validation process. This situation can occur
when a user turns off his modem during the validation process or when satellite connectivity was
not possible to establish during the validation process.
When a newer version is present and validation fails, the software LED is red.

software status LEDs.
