Diagnostic Port
The Diagnostic port consists of a single DE-9 male upright
connector, located on the right side of the GSP-1620 modem
(see Figure 7-1).
By connecting a Diagnostic cable (inc luded in the Modem
Integrator’s Kit) or a custom cable to the Diagnostic port,
you can:
• Service-program a modem or upgrade its software, using
the Globalstar User Terminal Program Support Tool
(UTPST).
• Monitor or verify some modem functions, using the
QUALCOMM Globalstar Modem Operation Monitor.
Note
Normal field usage does not require that a cable be connected to the
Diagnostic port on the modem, since the port is typically used for
development and programming only.
The Diagnostic cable includes a switch box that controls
whether the cable’s DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signal is
asserted (“POS 1 DTR to GND”) or de-a sserted (“POS 2 DTR
Open” or “POS 3 Not Used”). When DTR is asserted, the
modem powers up immediately if power is provided. Before
