USB Connections: These are generally
used for GSM/GPRS modems. The
SBS has drivers for a range of USB
devices. Please contact Wired Ocean
to find out if a USB device that you plan
to use is supported. The SBS has two
built-in USB ports; if you need more,
you can use a USB hub.
RS232 Connections: Uplinks such as
Inmarsat MPDS use RS232. The SBS
has one built-in RS232 port; to add
more, use USB-to-RS232 converters.
WAN Port Connections: To connect router-based uplink devices
(Fleet Broadband, 3G, VSAT and Wi-Fi/WiMAX) WAN ports may be
added to the SBS by using a D-Link DUB E100 USB to Ethernet
converter.
