    7.2 Kbps of raw symmetrical bandwidth. The MCM-4e provides the combined bandwidth to the user via a single standard Ethernet connection. The MCM-4e 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-4e 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: Using Internet Data Services

    For simple connectivity (in either the ‘stand-alone’ mode or ‘VPN tunnel’ mode) the establishment of the incoming asynchronous data call to the MCM-4e can be used to convey the application data between the originating terminal within the customer’s private data network and the remote terminal attached to the MCM-4e.

    Prior to delivery, the MCM-4e will have been configured to operate within the Globalstar service area designated to be you’re the ‘home’ service area. In addition to being able to operate anywhere within the designated ‘home’ service area, the MCM-4e is capable of operating within any Globalstar service area with which your Globalstar service provides roaming capabilities.

    (14.75MHz – 16.75MHz) fitted before the pre-amplifier stage. Use of this type of antennae may cause a GPS receiver to be susceptible to interference from the MCM-4e. Where it is found that a GPS receiver is experiencing interference from the MCM-4e, the distance between the GPS antenna and the MCM-4e should be increased (by relocating one or both).

    4. From inside the platform route the 30 foot Transmit (red marker) and Receive coaxial (blue marker) Cables and antenna power cable to the location where the MCM-4e will be installed. 5. Connect the Transmit coax to the TX connector of the Antenna. Connect the Receive Coax to the RX connector on the Antenna.
