INSTALLATION
NOTE: All added features to the Tracker, such as Altitude Trigger, and Change
of Flight Plan feature can increase the cost of operation of the tracker.
Check with your operations department prior to turning on features
that may increase the cost of operation. Once the data is sent over the
system, there will be a charge for the use of the data.

TRACKER SYSTEM COMPONENTS

4.1.1

TRANSCEIVER

The Tacker transceiver is identical to the unit in Section 3 in physical form.
The Tracker transceiver is not full telephony as the Executive, FlightDeck,
and Classic. The dialing is done through software using the SOP Dialers or
through the MMU when connected.

CONFIGURATION MODULE

The Configuration Module (ICM) part number 1616-905-01, if used should be
installed within 8" to the 62 pin connector and secured to the harness. The
configuration module stores settings external to the transceiver and also
provides a female connector for easy connection to a PC via straight PC cable
for system configuration. The purpose of the module is to alleviate the need
to reprogram to an individual aircraft if units are shifted amongst the fleet.
Removal and replacement of the Sky Connect Transceiver with a different
unit will keep the Users stored settings the same, though a tail number to
serial number configuration mismatch will be logged as a security procedure
via the iridium network. Theft for re-use of the Sky Connect Tracker is
impractical, as not only do we know who you are, but exactly where you are!
Regardless, the configuration procedure only needs to occur once, or when a
configuration module is replaced. An additional use for the configuration
module would be to update all of the phone numbers in a fleets system. This
becomes a time saving device allowing one module to program each aircraft,
only necessitating the update of the individual tail numbers.
The male connector on the ICM connects via 6 wires to the 62 pin connector
of the Tracker system. The female connector is the configuration port for
both the ICM and the Tracker itself. If the configuration module is in place
during programming, settings are saved to the transceiver and to the ICM. If
