Important! BEFORE you start the conversion process, you MUST do the following:
1. Read the document titled
Understanding the Network Configuration Changes
.
This document, which is
provided in the conversion kit, explains how the V7-HTS ICM (Integrated CommBox Modem) differs from
the V7-IP, particularly its network structure and configurations. Be sure you understand these differences.
You may need to modify the vessel network.
2. Update the current V7-IP system to the latest software version.
Follow the instructions in the system’s
Help menu or User’s Guide. If the antenna does not have V7-IP software version 117.0 or later installed, it
will not be able to communicate properly with the new HTS ICM when you convert the system to V7-HTS.
