I 4 Installation
In order to access the Iridium network the BDE must have a valid SIM
installed. Upon activation by the Service Provider, the customer's SIM will
be provisioned with the service level (available bandwidth) and the
number of voice lines available. For example: There are three phone lines
available but you choose to only provision one of them. Upon system
activation only one phone line will be available.
Contact the service provider to add or remove voice phone lines. Once the
service provider has added or removed voice lines, the BDE will
automatically update the SIM at the next network connection.
Note: If the SIM card is removed or unlocked any voice or data calls will be
terminated immediately. The SIM must be reinserted and locked into
position using the locking mechanism on the SIM card holder, then the
unit must be switched off and back on again to be reactivated.
The internal structure of the computer network depends on the
customer's needs. The ISU is capable of handling everything from the
connection of a single PC to a complete Ethernet network. The data port
provides an Ethernet connection of 10BaseT/100BaseT using an RJ45
connector connected as MDI-X.
If the Below Decks Equipment (BDE) is to be connected to a down¬stream
port of an Ethernet hub or switch then the user will need to use a cross-
over cable. Again, the data port must be provisioned to connect to the
Internet. The data LED will illuminate green.
