1.Connect the DE-9 modem connector (“P2-Module”) on the Diagnostic cable (Figure 2-3) to the 9-pin Diagnostic port on the modem (Figure 2-1).

2.Connect the DE-9 PC connector (“P1-PC”) on the Diagnostic cable to a COM port on your computer.

3.Locate the switch on the cable, and set it to “POS 1 DTR to GND.”

Do not plug in the AC wall adapter yet. For information about powering the modem, see Providing Power to the Modem on page 2-12.

Connecting and Mounting the Antenna

Caution

Tip

The GSP-1620 modem uses a Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) with a passive transmit and an active receive section. The transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) connectors are labeled on the base of the antenna.

Since the antenna communicates with Globalstar satellites, it must be positioned outdoors where it has a clear view of the sky, unimpeded by tall obstacles such as buildings and trees.

Antenna cable length is limited, due to insertion loss and potential emission problems. For details, see Antenna Cable Specifications on page 7-25 and Calculating Antenna Cable Length on page 7-27.

For a quick setup, you may want to mount the antenna on top of a water-tight box on your roof. Mount the modem inside the box, then run extension cables (straight RS-232 9-pin serial cables with no crossovers) for the power and serial connectors to your indoor bench. (For maximum RS-232 extension cable lengths, see the TIA/EIA-232-E specification.) A box setup lets you use the antenna cables from the kit, without worrying about antenna cable length.
