You will need a USB data cable to perform the upgrade.  The upgrade process can take 20-30 minutes so make sure your computer and the Iridium 9555 are connected to external power during the upgrade so that the upgrade process is NOT interrupted once it begins.  Carefully follow the instructions on the PDF included with the upgrade tool.
