UPGRADING THURAYA IP+
Should a Thuraya IP+ Modem software upgrade become available, you can complete
the upgrade process yourself. The software can be downloaded directly from the
Internet using any available access method, including Thuraya IP+.
UPGRADING SOFTWARE
In order to upgrade software you must first connect to the Internet and follow the
steps listed below:
1. Connect your PC/Notebook to the Internet using Thuraya IP+ (satellite
service), wired LAN, or dial up connection.
2. Go to www.thuraya.com
or use the Upgrade link on the Properties Page
if connected to the Thuraya IP+.
3. Go to the web site area for Thuraya IP+ updates.
4. To download, select the latest upgrade package. The browser proceeds
to retrieve the package.
5. Once the package is downloaded, you are prompted to execute the
package. Select Yes and the upgrader application will self-extract onto
the PC’s hard drive.
6. Once the package is installed, it puts a shortcut on the desktop and
prompts you to upgrade now. Make sure the Thuraya IP+
is now
connected to the PC via Ethernet and is powered up. Select the upgrade
option on the PC, and the program will allow you to upgrade the
terminal.
7. The upgrader will query the current software version of the terminal.
You should choose whether you want to upgrade to the newer version
of software.
8. If you choose to upgrade the terminal, the process automatically
downloads the new release of software and forces a terminal reboot.
9. When the terminal returns from reboot, you can verify that the
download was successful via the
Properties page in the wMMI or by
confirming the new release on the upgrader.
10. Once loaded onto a PC, the upgrade program can be used to upgrade
any number of Thuraya IP+
terminals. Just connect them one at a time
and execute the upgrade program.
