If you have acquired a SIM card that needs to be unlocked, please see

Appendix C. This should be done before going to the field.

3.2 Setup of Iridium Modems

Once the SIM cards are unlocked (Appendix C), it is necessary to set up the

base and remote modems using Device Configuration Utility (DevConfig).

(The base and remote modems can also be set up using a terminal emulation

program such as Procomm or HyperTerminal.)

3.2.1 Step 1: Hardware Connections

Connect the Iridium satellite modem to the COM9522B and connect a serial

cable from the COM9522B to a COM Port on your computer. Connect the

COM9522B to the power supply. Be sure to connect the yellow power control

wire to +12V, so that the COM9522B will switch on power for the 9522B.

3.2.2 Step 2: DevConfig Connection

Open DevConfig. Under

Device Type, select Unknown. Select the

appropriate

Communication Port and set the Baud Rate to 19200. Press

Connect.
