MODEM FIRMWARE
This allows the administrator to load new firmware onto Cradlepoint modems attached to the router. Note
that modem firmware is separate from router firmware. New modem firmware may be necessary to update the
module due to carrier updates or defect resolution. If you are happy with the operation of the modem, you may
not want to upgrade just because a new version is available. Please check the modem firmware release notes for
information to decide if you should upgrade or not.
Most Cradlepoint modems contain a single firmware image that can be Checked, Updated or manually updated.
With some modems (such as LPE), you have the ability to change the firmware to support a different carrier
image. With other select modems (such as LP6), more than one modem firmware image may be locally stored
within the device's memory.
You must first select the Cradlepoint modem you would like to update. Once selected, the appropriate modem
firmware update options will display.
For modems supporting manual
carrier switching (such as LPE), select
File to browse to an appropriate,
different modem firmware package
file to load into the modem's
memory.
Firmware updates can be performed
on any firmware line item using
the Check/Upgrade or File (manual)
process.
The following actions are available to
be configured:
• Automatically check for new firmware: Click the checkbox to indicate whether the system is to
automatically check for available modem firmware updates. When enabled, the system checks once a day.
This global setting applies to all modems connected to the router.
• Select Modem: Select the appropriate modem which you would like to update. Note that dual SIM devices
are listed as a single modem.
In the Installed Firmware grid, you will see the following columns:
• Active (Multi-firmware modems only): Indicates which carrier package is currently active on the modem.
Note: You cannot select the active image. On multi-firmware modems, the carrier firmware is selected
automatically.
• Carrier: Displays the carrier supported by the modem firmware. For carriers not otherwise available,
"Generic" will be displayed.
