Recommendations
Sierra Wireless recommends that you contact your authorized Sierra Wireless
distributor before updating the radio module firmware.
Scheduling the update
The update can take up to 30 minutes to complete, depending on the speed of
your network connection. The AirLink device being updated will be off-line during
the update, so take this into account when scheduling the update.
Important: BE PATIENT! The firmware update can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
Ignore connection time out messages—the update process is still running.
Waiting for the process to complete is faster than troubleshooting the problems that can be
caused by interrupting the process midway. (Interrupting the process may result in having
to return the device to the factory for repairs.)
Step 2—Update the ALEOS Software and Radio
Module Firmware
Using ACEmanager to Update a Single AirLink Device
To update the ALEOS software and radio module firmware on one AirLink device:
1. Connect the AirLink device you want to upgrade to your laptop, launch your
browser and enter the URL for the device. The default IP address for the
Ethernet interface is http://192.168.13.31:9191. If it is a remote device, enter
the domain name or public IP (WAN) address.
Note: If you are connected to the device remotely, any files transferred to the device are
transferred over-the-air and you may incur data charges. (For file size information, see the
flowchart on page 30.)
2. Log in to ACEmanager.
