6. The upgrade process will proceed. After ~2 minutes, a window will pop-up indicating the upload is complete. The upgrader will then reset the modem, reconnect and retrieve the software version.
7. After ~30 seconds, the following message will appear in the window: "Software version was retrieved!" If there is an error retrieving the software version, check the Ethernet connection and use the “Get SW Version” feature from the “Tools” menu.
8. Terminal has been successfully upgraded, and the power and Ethernet connections can be removed.
If you want to upgrade another terminal, there is no need to close the BGAN Upgrader window. Just repeat steps 2 through 8, but omit step 4.
If an earlier software upgrade was unsuccessful then the modem will power-up in a bootrom mode and the LEDs will show a pattern of flashing and solid red/green colors (refer to the user guide for more details). You can also force the modem to power-up in this mode by pressing the audio button when you power-up the modem. The upgrader can still be used to re-upgrade the modem if it is in bootrom mode. However, in bootrom mode DHCP is not supported and you must set the computer IP address to 192.168.128.101 |
