Thales MissionLink Firmware Upgrade Instructions - 2.0.0.2

Introduction

On occasion it may be necessary to update MissionLINK™ software to add features or fix issues
found in the software. This section will step through the process of those updates. The firmware
file will contain updates for both the TU and the antenna if needed, so a single load automatically
updates both. It is important to make sure the system is connected, powered up, and operational
before attempting a firmware update. Do not remove power from the TU or remove the
antenna connection while an update is in process. This may cause a corruption to occur and
force reverting to the previous software version.

Important - This Software Update enables 700 kbps download speeds!
