Once connected to the Internet, choose the Upgrade Satellite IP Modem option from the 

Launch Pad. The upgrade programme first checks if your computer has a copy of the Satellite IP 
Modem software – the Local Copy. 

; 

 

Each time you upgrade the Satellite IP Modem, a local copy 
of the software is placed on your computer.  

If no local copy is present on your computer, the upgrade programme connects to the Internet. 
If an upgrade is available, you are prompted to download the upgrade to your PC. Once the 
upgrade has been downloaded, a dialogue box displays prompting you to disconnect the LAN 

or Dial-Up and connect the Satellite IP Modem to your PC (With some Windows Operating 

Systems, you may need to reboot your PC after connecting to the Satellite IP Modem to enable 
the communications link.). If the Satellite IP Modem was used to access the Internet, you do not 

need to disconnect. If you are not ready to complete the upgrade by connecting the Satellite 

IP Modem to your PC, you can click the Complete Upgrade Later button. If you are ready to 
complete the upgrade and the Satellite IP Modem is connected to the PC, click the Complete 

Upgrade Now button. 

The upgrade programme then launches the Satellite IP Modem Upgrader to install the new 

software on the Satellite IP Modem. The Upgrader shows you the versions of the local copy 
software and the software currently installed on the Satellite IP Modem. If the version stored 

locally is newer (higher numbered version) than the installed Satellite IP Modem software, click 

the Upgrade button. The Upgrader then completes the upgrade process.  

If a local copy is already present on the PC, a dialogue box displays asking you if you want to 

check the Internet for a newer version. If you click Yes, the upgrade programme connects to the 
Internet to check for a newer version. If a newer version is not available, a dialogue box displays 

stating that the local version is the latest version. You can then choose to complete the upgrade 
by clicking the Complete Upgrade Now button. Click the Complete Upgrade Later button to 

stop the upgrade process.  

If a newer version on the Internet is available, you are prompted to download the upgrade to 

your PC. Once the upgrade has been downloaded, a dialogue box displays prompting you to 
disconnect the LAN or Dial-Up and connect the Satellite IP Modem to the PC (With some
