4. Optional: Wizard: Update ALEOS

On occasion, Sierra Wireless releases updates to the firmware for your modem. These updates can include new features as well as bug fixes. To make sure your modem is at optimal performance, it is recommended to Check for Updates and Update Now if an update is found.

Note: While checking for ALEOS Firmware updates, the Setup Wizard uses the Internet connection on your computer to connect to the Sierra Wireless server. Your PinPoint-E is not connected to the wireless network for this process. If you are using Ethernet to activate your Product Name and need to remove the Ethernet cable from your modem to connect to your usual Internet connection to Check for Updates, be sure to reconnect the Product Name before you select Update Now.
