You must receive a mobile number for your eTrac system from an
Inmarsat Service Provider before eTrac can be configured and
used. Please refer to Section 2.4.1, “Registering eTrac as an MES”
for instructions on applying for and receiving a mobile number. As
this process can take some time, KVH recommends that you submit
your application immediately upon purchasing your eTrac system.
