5.9.2 Signal Monitor
Signal monitor queries your satellite device to determine if the signal strength is sufficient to
make a successful data connection. Typically, a minimum of 60% signal is required; however,
100% is ideal for the fastest possible data transfer rate.
NOTE: Some older satellite phones (for example, the Iridium 9505a) do not support the
signal monitor feature. For these older satellite phones, the signal monitor MUST be
DISABLED for a successful data connection.
To modify the Signal Monitor, go to: Services > PPP > Settings > Signal Monitor.
From this screen you can enable/disable signal monitor using the "Enable" checkbox.
You can change the level of the Signal Monitor. Keep in mind that 60% is typically the
minimum required for a successful data connection. If you must change the Signal Monitor, we
recommend lowering the Level vs. disabling it. Many IsatPhonePro users have had success by
lowering the level to 40 or 30.
CAUTION: Reducing the signal strength to less than 60% or disabling it altogether may
cause lengthy data connections due to poor signal.
