Conversion Instructions
Important! BEFORE you start the conversion process, you MUST do the following:
1. Read the document titled Understanding the Network Configuration Changes. This document, which is
provided in the conversion kit, explains how the V11-HTS ICM (Integrated CommBox Modem) differs
from the V11-IP/V11, particularly its network structure and configurations. Be sure you understand these
differences. You may need to modify the vessel network.
2. Update the current V11-IP/V11 system to the latest software version. Follow the instructions in the
system's Help menu or User's Guide. If the antenna does not have software version 209.0 or later installed,
it will not be able to communicate properly with the new ICM when you convert the system to V11-HTS.
