Updating the router software
This appendix explains how to use the Fallback Updater utility to
update the router
fallback.bin file with the current software
release. Use the procedures in this appendix only when instructed
to do so by Hughes.

you must first copy the Fallback Updater utility to the installer
laptop. The utility is distributed to installers in an e-mail message
and is also available for download from the Hughes installation
support Web site. Contact Installer Support for the Web site
address, if necessary.
