Selecting Firmware Update from the left menu bar brings up the firmware status and upgrade
page. When newer versions of the modem firmware become available, the user can download the
proper file from the CalAmp web site (
www.calamp.com) and manually update the unit. The update
file is named upgrade.tar.gz and is specific to each unit’s model number.
