    7.2 Kbps of raw symmetrical bandwidth. The MCM-4M provides the combined bandwidth to the user via a single standard Ethernet connection. The MCM-4M is a full duplex device and can be configured to allow other data terminals to initiate a data communications connection. For this purpose, any of the four SDMs may be configured to receive an incoming asynchronous data call from a PSTN modem.

    Virtual Private Network (VPN). In normal operation the MCM-4M provides you with a PATH to and from the Internet, which allows your mobile platform to be connected without having wires attached to it. You operate the remote client terminal exactly the same way you would if it were connected to any other Ethernet LAN.

  • Page 7: Receiving Incoming Data Calls

    When used in conjunction with the VPN mode, the asynchronous data call to the MCM-4M can be used to force the MCM-4M to initiate the VPN tunnel back to the customer’s private TCP/IP data network. In this way, the full bandwidth of the VPN tunnel may be used to transfer large data files more quickly.

    Globalstar service areas support only ‘asynchronous data’ calls. The MCM-4M was designed to operate in ‘Packet Data’ mode. The MCM-4M can operate in a Globalstar service area that only supports the ‘asynchronous data’ mode, but at a lower data rate Notes: For current details of Globalstar’s ‘packet data’...

    GPS receiver is experiencing interference from the MCM-4M, the distance between the GPS antenna and the MCM-4M should be increased (by relocating one or both). If no suitable alternative location can be found for either the GPS antenna or the MCM-4M, the GPS antenna should be replaced with one that includes the appropriate band-pass filter.
