FX30 Modem : Micromedia application updated
Attention: In order to update the Micromedia application of the FX30 modem, it is necessary to contact Micromedia support in order to obtain the download link of the Micromedia application that can be installed.
Prerequisites :
Before upgrading your modem, you need to have the following 2 items:
- The Sierra Wireless USB driver for Windows to connect the modem to USB for the update. You can download it from the link below:
- SiwiUpdate software version 2.0.0.5 (18/08/2022). This software is used to program and update the modem. You can download it from the link below:
- The Micromedia application for the FX30 modem supplied by Micromedia
Good practice:
- As the FX30 modem is based on an embedded system, start-up is not instantaneous.
- Using a DOS terminal to continuously ping the FX30 modem verifies accessibility.
- Micromedia applications also run when the FX30 modem is launched. Access to the various SSH / VOIP / SMPP services is not immediate.
1. Connecting to the FX30 Modem :
The Micromedia application can be updated via a network connection or a USB connection. How to set up a USB connection is explained in the following article. FX30 : Mise à jour du Firmware
