Boot block software — contains a minimal set of

 

 

functionality needed to “boot” the modem (get it started).

 

Most software upgrades are application upgrades. Upgrading

 

the boot block software is rarely required.

 

Once you obtain a software upgrade file from QUALCOMM

 

Globalstar Customer Service, you can use the UTPST to load

 

it onto the modem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steps

TO DETERMINE THE MODEM’S CURRENT SOFTWARE VERSION

 

 

 

1.

Connect your PC to the modem as described in Using the

 

 

UTPST on page 3-2 and run the UTPST.

 

2.

In the UTPST’s Phone menu, select Show Phone

 

 

Information.

The Phone Information dialog appears, including the UT Software Version Information, for example, “R5.2.0.”

Note

TO UPGRADE MODEM SOFTWARE

1.Obtain a software upgrade file from QUALCOMM Globalstar Customer Service. To contact Customer Service, see Appendix D.

2.Connect your PC to the modem and run the UTPST.

3.Follow the procedures documented in the Globalstar UT Program Support Tool User’s Guide, Chapter 8, “Upgrading Phone Software.”

Upgrading boot block software requires you to short two pins on a jumper on the modem. See the illustration and instructions in Chapter 8 of the Globalstar UT Program Support Tool User’s Guide.
