Integrator’s Reference Manual

Connecting the Modem Cables

For the GSP-1620 modem to work, you must connect several cables:

•Modem interface cable — connects the Data port to a PC, connects the Control port to a PC (optional), and connects power leads to a DC power supply.

•Antenna cables — connect the transmit (Tx, J3) and receive (Rx, J7) leads to the Tx and Rx connectors on the Dielectric Resonator Antenna.

•Diagnostic cable — connects the Diagnostic port to a PC running the Globalstar UT Program Support Tool (UTPST) for modem service programming, or the QUALCOMM Globalstar Modem Operation Monitor; can also be used as an optional, alternate power supply via its AC adapter.

Connecting the Modem Interface Cable

Your Modem Integrator’s Kit includes a custom DB-25 modem interface cable bridle, which connects to the Interface port on the modem. The cable bridle splits out the DE-9 Data Port and DE-9 Control Port, and the DC power connectors (DC POWER, SIG GND, and RESET), as shown in Figure 2-2.
