On occasion, Satellite IP Modem software upgrades are made available to you. These 
upgrades may add new features or fix minor problems. The Launch Pad provides an 

option to upgrade the software. The software can be downloaded directly from the 
Internet using any available access method, including the Satellite IP Modem. 

In order to upgrade software you must first connect to the Internet. You can 
connect to the Internet using the Satellite IP Modem, dial-up, or LAN connection. 
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
