8.2 Software update
8.2.1 Prerequisites
The following items are required to make a software update:
• 1 computer with a standard Ethernet port available.
• Standard Internet browser.
•1 straight LAN cable.
• Access to the file with the new software.
8.2.2 Software update (ADU, ACU)
The upload procedure takes a couple of minutes. When done, the ACU automatically
restarts with the new software version. The start-up procedure after a software upload
takes longer than the usual start-up time, as the software in the ADU must also be updated.
This is shown in the ACU display as ANTENNA SW UPLOAD.
To make a software update, do as follows:
1. Power up the SAILOR 100 GX system, i.e. switch on the ACU. Wait until the ACU has
finished initializing.
2. Connect a PC to LAN interface 3 (Service port, standard Ethernet) of the ACU or to the
front LAN connector of the ACU.
If you want to use another LAN port to access the web interface you must configure it
according to your network requirements. See To configure the LAN network on page 6-
24 for more information.
3. Open your Internet browser and enter the IP address. The default IP address of the ACU
is http://192.168.0.1.
4. Type in the user name admin and the administrator password to access the web
interface.
5. The web interface shows the DASHBOARD page.
6. Click the menu item SERVICE. The UPLOAD page is displayed.
Software update should only be done by qualified service personnel.
