Update The Aleos Software And Radio Module Firmware; Step 1-Planning Your Update - Sierra Wireless AirLink RV50 Series User Manual

Rev 1 Dec. 17
Note: If no template has been applied to the gateway since it was set or reset to the
factory default settings, the template field is blank.
Update the ALEOS Software and Radio
Module Firmware
To take advantage of new features available in the latest version of ALEOS,
update the ALEOS software and radio module firmware on your AirLink gateways.
Important:
Once the gateway has been upgraded to ALEOS 4.7.0, you cannot
downgrade to earlier versions of ALEOS.
You can use ACEmanager to update one gateway at a time or AirLink
Management Service (ALMS) to update one or multiple gateways at the same
time.
Note: If the update includes a radio module firmware update, the radio module firmware
stored on the gateway is also automatically updated. If there is not enough room in the
storage, the radio module firmware update fails, so you may need to remove one of the
versions stored on the gateway to free up space. For more information, see
Firmware on page 326.
Step 1—Planning Your Update
1. Sierra Wireless recommends that you download a template from the
gateway(s) before you begin the update process. For instructions, see
a Custom Configuration as a Template
2. For each of the gateways you want to update, make a note of the:
· Device Model
· Radio Module Type
· Radio Module Identifier
ALEOS Software Version This information is available in ALMS and in ACEm-
anager (Status > About).
