About this equipment
This guide outlines the details for installing the Beam SatDOCK in
conjunction with an Iridium 9505A Portable Handset.
This kit must not be used with any other device other than the
Iridium 9505A Handset.
Features
Full In-vehicle Integration
The Beam SatDOCK allows for a quality semi-permanent installation to
a vehicle. The antenna, microphone and speaker are simply installed in
a convenient location within the vehicle following the instructions
provided with the kit. The handset is simply seated in the SatDOCK cradle ready for
use.
Handset Charging
When the 9505A is seated in the SatDOCK, the 9505A battery is charged whilst the
vehicles ignition is on.
9505A Functionality
The major advantage of the SatDOCK is the hands-free use combined with a sturdy
docking capability along with the permanently installed antenna for increased call
quality and signal penetration. The 9505A will support all the standard functionality
whilst being used with the Beam In-vehicle kit, plus a single-touch mute function
accessible from the front of the SatDOCK.
Intelligent Handset Interface
The SatDOCK supports the optional Beam Intelligent Handset, RST970 via the
Hands-free Interface (HFI) module. The handset supports voice calls as well as
utilizing the Iridium SMS service. The handset is compact and includes an inbuilt ring
alert. The handset also enables a private in vehicle conversation.
RS232 Data Port
A RS232 serial data port is provided via the “Comm Port” on the HFI module,
allowing data calls, or tracking / alerting modules or a PC to be connected. Refer to
the AT commands guide on the Beam website

for
