Software
The MP modem comes with the following software:
• AceView, the software for the MP modem which allows you to manage and
monitor your connections.
• The driver that forms the interface between the MP modem and your
Windows operating system.
• The firmware that is stored in non-volatile memory.
The MP modem has an embedded radio module, also made by Sierra Wire-
less, Inc. There are two firmware programs on the MP modem—one stored on
the controller board of the MP modem and one on the radio module.
The firmware was loaded into the radio module and controller board when the
MP modem was assembled. As new versions of the software and firmware
are released, they are posted at
www.sierrawireless.com.
