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-HTS web
interface shows “Updating” under Connection Status, and the ICM
front panel display shows “Do not power down - Updating” for up to
30 minutes.
There are several methods to choose from to update the software:
• “Using the ICM to Update Software” on page 150
• “Using Your Computer to Update Software” on page 151
• “Using an iPhone/iPod touch to Update Software” on page 152
• “Using a USB Flash Drive to Update Software” on page 153
Important!
To upgrade to version 3010 or later from a version earlier than 3000,
your system must first be upgraded to version 3000. Version 3000 was
the last version to have a “.kvh” file extension, and it was the first
version to recognize the new “.bin” extension used by all future
software update packages, which incorporate new encryption
technology for enhanced system security.
