Iridium Setup
XLink may be equipped with an Iridium modem. If such hardware is available, scheduled and alarm
transmissions via the Iridium modem are possible.
Additionally, the station can receive messages via the Iridium modem. These messages can be used to
check station status, change station setup, request re-transmissions of logged data, and more. Iridium
messages are limited in bandwidth and are time delayed. Email is generally used to send commands to
the station via Iridium. LinkComm cannot be used to send messages via Iridium.
for more details on Iridium.
Some of the Iridium settings are found on the Telemetry tab and are specific to a single telemetry setup.
Additional Iridium settings are found on the Other Setup tab of LinkComm; those are global settings.
Iridium transmissions are delayed by a random time of up to 30 seconds. This delay is mean to prevent
on-air collisions from multiple transmitters.
