Upgrading the
Modem
There are three different ways to upgrade the software that makes
the Modem work.
 Your Service Provider may perform an over-the-air (OTA)
upgrade, where the up-to-date software files are transferred
wirelessly from the Base Station to your Modem.
 Your Service Provider may provide a downloadable web file or
CD-ROM with software to be installed on your PC and used to
upgrade the Modem. This method is used for systems that have
a software release
prior to 4.0. You will need the CCU Tool to
load the software.
 Your Service Provider may instruct you to use your Navini
Diagnostics Tool to upgrade your Modem software load. This
method is used for systems that have a software release of 4.0
or greater and have the NavDiag monitoring software installed.
The latter two methods are used only if the Modem was not
powered on during the OTA upgrade process. The OTA upgrade is
normally transparent to the user; in other words, there should be no
noticeable service interruption. The web or CD upgrade comes
with instructions and takes a minimal amount of time to complete.
Note: If you use the Navini Diagnostics Tool to upgrade your
Modem software load, the computer connected to your Modem
must already have an IP address. If your computer does not have an
IP address, contact your Service Provider. If you attempt to
upgrade your Modem software through the Navini Diagnostics
Tool and the computer does not have an assigned IP address, you
may see one of the following error messages:
