  • Page 38: Advanced Settings

    5.2.1.3 Advanced Settings Under normal operating conditions there is little to change here. Some items of interest include: Default Filtering Scheme: This setting affects the amount of content filtering that is applied to a webpage, by removing elements, before presenting it to the end user. It determines the amount of filtering to be done to the page.
  • Page 39 Debug Level: The settings here determine what will show on the Web Compression and Filtering 'Log' page. Adding the debug level of "1", all URLs will be logged and will appear on the Log page, one line per URL. CAUTION: Utilization of debug level 1 is not recommended for normal operation. The Log files are kept in RAM and with debug level 1 activated you run the risk of RAM filling up, the Swap Partition filling up and the router will crash.

  • Page 57: Handheld Satellite Phone With Integrated Gps

    5.7.1.2 Handheld Satellite Phone with Integrated GPS When using a supported USB connected satphone with integrated GPS, you must use a 2-port USB hub (either 1.0 or 2.0) plugged into the Optimizer's USB port to accommodate two USB devices. Plug the small USB drive that came with the Optimizer into one of the USB Hub ports, connect the satellite phone to the other port on the USB Hub using the Mini-USB to USB cable.

  • Page 58: Usb Nmea Device

    5.7.1.3 USB NMEA Device When using a NMEA device that supports a USB connection, you must use a USB hub (either 1.0 or 2.0) plugged into the Optimizer's USB port to accomodate multiple USB devices. Plug the small USB drive that came with the Optimizer into one of the USB Hub ports, connect the NMEA device to the USB Hub with an appropriate USB to NMEA device cable as indicated by the NMEA device manufacturer.

  • Page 59: Nmea Device

    5.7.1.4 RS-232 NMEA Device With Serial Port Connector When using a NMEA device with Serial Port connection, a USB to Serial Adapter (PL-2303HX) is required. In addiiton, a USB hub (either 1.0 or 2.0) plugged into the Optimizer's USB is required in order to accomodate multiple USB devices.

  • Page 60: Connecting Multiple Nmea Devices

    Without Serial Port Connector Some NMEA devices do not have a serial port; instead they have a group of wires extending from the back or bottom of the unit. These devices require proper wiring to a serial port. As the Optimizer does not transmit, it only repeats the data, you will only need two of the wires.
