Software Updates

KVH periodically releases new versions of software to enhance the
performance and capabilities of the system. You can update your
system to this latest software at any time by downloading the file from
KVH's Update server and uploading it to the ICM. When you update
the software, the new version simply overwrites the previously
installed version.
A single software package includes updates to all system components
in the antenna and ICM, with the exception of the modem. Modem
updates are downloaded automatically via the satellite connection.
When a modem update is in progress, the TracPhone V7-IP web
interface shows "Updating" under Connection Status, and the ICM
front panel display shows "Do not power down - Updating" for 30
minutes.
There are several methods to choose from to update the software:
• "Using the ICM to Update Software" on page 125
• "Using Your Computer to Update Software" on page 126
• "Using an iPhone/iPod touch to Update Software" on page 127
• "Using a USB Flash Drive to Update Software" on page 128
