Optimizer
v2.2.1
42
NOTE: If you are using a satellite phone with a serial port (RS-232) that transmits GPS
data (i.e. some fixed phones and fleet phones), it is NOT compatible with the Optimizer.
In order to repeat GPS data, a separate GPS device must be connected.
6.6.1.
GPS/NMEA Repeater Equipment Setup
A physical connection is required from the source (satellite terminal or satellite phone
that transmits GPS coordinates, or another GPS/NMEA device) to the Optimizer.
6.6.1.1.
Broadband Satellite Terminal with Integrated GPS
When using a supported broadband satellite terminal with integrated GPS, connect the
terminal to the Optimizer SAT port using a standard Ethernet cable. (OPTIONAL: Use a
second Ethernet cable to connect the computer with the destination software, like a
navigation program, to the Optimizer LAN port.) The Optimizer will broadcast the GPS
signal both over Ethernet and Wi-Fi, so you can connect your computer either way in
order to establish a successful connection with your destination software.
6.6.1.2.
USB NMEA Device
When using a NMEA device that supports a USB connection, connect the GPS/NMEA
device to the Optimizer with an appropriate USB to NMEA device cable as indicated by
the NMEA device manufacturer.
(OPTIONAL: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer with the destination
software, like a navigation program, to the Optimizer LAN port.)
The Optimizer will broadcast the GPS signal both over Ethernet and Wi-Fi, so you can
connect your computer either way in order to establish a successful connection with
your destination software.
NOTE: If your satellite device requires a USB connection to the Optimizer (for example,
an Iridium 9555) you can use a 2-port USB hub (either 1.0 or 2.0) plugged into the
Optimizer’s USB port to accommodate two USB devices.
