STEP 11: PLACE A TEST CALL
Using the normal handset connected to the "Voice 1" port on the BDE place a call.
1. Ensure the SST software has been stopped.
2. Lift the receiver and listen for a dial tone.
3. Dial the country code, area code and phone number of a phone that can be used for voice
quality testing. Don't forget to press the # key to initiate the call.
4. When the call is answered verify there is intelligible voice in both directions.
5. If any issues are detected, hang-up and attempt the call again. If the problem persists,
attempt a call to an alternate test number preferably in a di erent exchange (di erent
provider) from the initial attempt.
6. If after all of these attempts there is still an issue consider the following:
• Clear voice from the Iridium Pilot unit to the landline and garbled voice in the other
direction is typical of local ship interference disturbing the down-link signal.
• If the clear voice is from the land-line side and the Iridium Pilot side is garbled then there is
likely another issue and you should consult the trouble-shooting section of the User Manual.
• If the call is not clear in either direction then there could be an interference issue.
An alternate location should be considered.
• If the call fails to connect go to the trouble-shooting section of the User Manual.
Note: Voice quality of the Iridium Pilot network is characterized as narrow band telephony.
Signi cant voice compression is used in transporting voice and it can sound slightly degraded from
a typical mobile telephone call.
