Integrating Modems into Products

This section describes the QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1620 Satellite Data Modem hardware, including mechanical descriptions of the modem, its Data, Control and Diagnostic port signals and pinouts, DC power, and grounding.

Using this information for your specific products, you can create custom cables, which connect a modem (the DCE) to:

A terminal or processor (the DTE) running custom application software for your product — using the Data port only, or both Data and Control ports

An appropriate DC power source

A Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) — for information about installing antennas and calculating cable lengths, see Mounting Antennas On-Siteon page 7-22.

Note

This section also describes the Diagnostic port, although typically it is

 

used only during development and for service programming.
