Upgrading THURAYAIP
Should a ThurayaIP 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 ThurayaIP.
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 ThurayaIP
(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 ThurayaIP.
3. Go to the web site area for ThurayaIP 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
ThurayaIP is now connected to the PC via Ethernet
(recommended) or USB 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.
10. Once loaded onto a PC, the upgrade program can be used
to upgrade any number of ThurayaIP terminals. Just connect
them one at a time and execute the upgrade program.
