What You May Need in Addition to the Kit

The Modem Integrator’s Kit should be sufficient for setting up one modem on a bench for development and testing.

For GSP-1620 modem development purposes (bench setup and developing modem applications), it is recommended that you have a Windows PC, because the Modem Integrator’s Kit CD-ROM contains some Windows code samples.

If necessary, you can power the modem via the AC adapter on the Diagnostic cable, but you may prefer to use your own DC power supply. Mounting a bench modem and antenna is optional, but would require M3 and M4 screws, respectively, and a screwdriver.

OEMs who are packaging modems into end-user products will need to supply mounting enclosures and customized cables. For details, see Integrating GSP-1620 Modems into OEM Products on page 7-1.

Configuration and setup of computer systems to use the GSP-1620 modem with Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is beyond the scope of this document. However, the configuration procedures for the QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1600 Tri-Mode Phone are included as a reference in the QUALCOMM Globalstar Data User Guide, 80-99126-1 (located on the kit’s CD-ROM). For example, using the procedures in that document, you can set up a Windows modem driver and Windows Dial-Up Networking. With the proper DNS addresses from your Service Provider (SP) or Internet Service Provider (ISP), you can access the Internet using your GSP-1620 modem via the Globalstar satellite system.
