2.2.2.7 Software 

Upgrade 

Notes 

Several issues apply to the Multimedia Net Card upgrade process: 

• 

Third party firewall programs may affect over-the-air upgrade. If the over-the-air 
upgrade does not work, you may need to disable all third party firewalls before 
retrying. Check with third party firewall software user instructions on how to 
disable. 

• 

The situation may occur that users stop download of upgrade software before 
completion. When download is resumed, it will continue from where it was 
halted.  

• 

When upgrading driver software on a computer running Windows 98 SE, users 
will be prompted to reboot the computer for the changes to take effect. 

• 

Computer s running Windows 2000 and Windows XP require user login, per 
configured user rights. These rights affect the upgrade process as follows: 

Users logged in as “Administrators” have full rights regarding upgrade. 
They can install software upgrades as detailed in the preceding sections.  

Users logged in as “Power Users” will be able to upgrade T-Mobile 
Mobility Manager software and DSP image, but will receive an error 
message when trying to install a new driver. To enable a driver upgrade, 
the current T-Mobile Mobility Manager session must be closed, and then a 
user with “Administrator” rights must log in to the computer to perform 
the upgrade.  

Users logged in as “Users” or as any other available user type will not be 
able to upgrade Multimedia Net Card software. To enable a software 
upgrade, the current T-Mobile Mobility Manager session must be closed, 
and a user with “Administrator” rights must log in to the computer to 
perform the upgrade.
