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.

When a modem update is in progress, the TracPhone V11-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.
