3 SERVICE-PROGRAMMING MODEMS

QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1620 Satellite Data Modems work within the Globalstar satellite system, using “airtime” offered by a Service Provider (SP). To operate, each GSP-1620 modem must be service programmed, meaning that certain key parameters (such as the Globalstar IMSI) must be configured to work with the SP.

For service programming, you connect the modem’s Diagnostic port to a Windows 98/NT/2000 PC, using the Diagnostic cable included in the Modem Integrator’s Kit. On the PC, you run the Globalstar User Terminal Program Support Tool (UTPST), which is included in your Modem Integrator’s Kit.

This chapter discusses how to coordinate with your SP to service-program GSP-1620 modems, including the following topics:

UTPST overview

Using the UTPST

Re-programming default parameters

Bulk-programming modems

Upgrading modem software

This chapter does not discuss how to install the UTPST software, nor does it provide complete details on how to use the UTPST.
