SERVICE INFORMATION
2009> Routan - Control Module Updates
When updating any control module on Routan, the StarMobile version is checked in the database when looking for a new flash file. If the StarMobile version does not match the latest version in the database, there will be a popup window requesting to download the StarMobile update. This screen must be skipped in order to retain the version already installed in the StarMobile. This is due to the fact that the StarMobile software updates can only be downloaded off of ServiceNet. If the "Install" button is pressed on this screen, an earlier version of the software will be loaded into the StarMobile.
