Telephony Operation - Iridium Pilot User Manual

4.2 Telephony Operation

The BDE provides three connectors for POTS handsets, which can be used simultaneously. In order to make or
receive a phone call you must have a valid SIM installed in the BDE.
Types of voice lines available are Standard or Crew. There are 3 voice lines available on the BDE and each can
be provisioned with services. The BDE will indicate (illuminate green) the lines that have been provisioned.
Figure 4.0
Provisioned lines will illuminate green
Note: If none of the data or voice LEDs are green then it may be that no services have been provisioned. If
they are amber, you may be denied access to the Iridium network. See Troubleshooting section for details on
resolving this issue.
Voice calls can be placed using an Iridium provided handset or a standard "POTS" phone that is plugged into
the BDE. Telephony calls on a standard line can be placed by dialing the country code followed by the number
and a "#" symbol. Iridium Pilot does not require a "+" or "00" prior to entering the country code. Crew calls
require the use of the pre-programmed buttons on the crew handset Iridium provides.
