NOTE!
DO NOT USE

The reason for this is that the project files or the graphical network design tool in
the Message Routing setup of
SATERM
do NOT support SATELLINE-3AS NMS
radio modems.
Instead, the network drawing tools for SATELLINE-3AS NMS are included in the
SATEL NMS PC

performed by running the appropriate .exe file (for PC) that includes the

For example, SATELLINE_3AS_NMS_sw_4_1_2.exe is the software file for updating the software
version 4.1.2 in the SATELLINE-3AS(d) NMS radio modems.
