13: Updating the System
The oMG can be updated by downloading software and BIOS updates over the WAN
either automatically or by having a Sierra Wireless Technical Support person
manually "push" the update to the unit.
After an update has been downloaded, the software will be installed on the next
reboot. During the installation, the green LED will blink three times and pause, and
then repeat. The user should not remove power during this LED pattern. For more
information on the LED patterns see
LED Blink Patterns on page 99.
13.1 Configuring Auto Software Updates
The oMG can be configured to check for and download updates for its software, its
BIOS, and for its on board MC7354 cellular module, over a WAN link. Since there are
many factors which can interfere with over the air updates (e.g. loss of cellular
connectivity, loss of power when ignition is turned off, etc.), a number of configuration
options for auto software updates have been provided to deal with these issues. To
access these options navigate to General > Auto Software Updates as shown in
Figure 13-1 :
