Chapter 4. UPDATING FIRMWARE
4.1
Updating Firmware via Internet
To ensure optimal performance, it is important to operate the SLM-5650B with
its latest available firmware.
The modem must be in the Low Security mode (SNMP Type = SNMPV1V2c) in
order to update firmware.
The SLM-5650B Satellite Modem stores its firmware internally in flash memory, which simplifies
the firmware updating process. The firmware update, once acquired, can be transferred from an
external user PC once Ethernet connectivity has been established with the modem.
FAST codes are retained after a firmware upgrade and do not need to be re-
entered. The modem configuration is also retained.
This chapter outlines the complete firmware updating process as follows:
•
Perform the update, without opening the SLM-5650B, by connecting the unit to the
Ethernet port of the user PC.
•
Download the firmware update via the Internet to the user PC.
•
Transfer the firmware update, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), from the user PC to the
SLM-5650B automatically if using the optional Network Processor (NP) or TRANSEC
modules' Web Server Interfaces.
