- Page 2 Chip Reader SIM Cover Under the SIM cover is an integrated SIM Chip Reader. The A3LA-IGS uses and requires an Iridium SIM chip for operation. It can be purchased from any of the authorized Iridium Service Providers listed on the Iridium webpage (www.iridium.com). The SIM chip should be detached from the full- size SIM card as shown in picture below.
- Page 3 Run the Terminal Software to setup the operating parameters of the A3LA-IGS. NOTE: the SIM chip must be in the A3LA-IGS before any configuration parameters are to be set. Once all the operating parameters are saved and the computer is removed, the A3LA-IGS is ready to be used.
- Page 4 Server for Terminals Software. 10. The A3LA-IGS is basically a “black box” with no indicators of any kind (power on light, satellite registration status, satellite signal strength, etc.). This can pose great difficulties to first-time users who are not familiar satellite modems.
- Page 5 “CS” should be chosen instead of “SC” in step ii. If the response is “READY” or “SIM PIN2”, then the SIM is not locked and the A3LA-IGS is ready to be used. No PIN code needs to be entered.
