Test the configuration as described in
Section 12.8 Initial Checkout and
Troubleshooting
. Almost ALL of these test can be performed before the actual RUDICS
account is open. Almost ALL of these tests can be performed without a Glider.
12.3.4 Configure the Dock Server Application
Follow the procedures outlined in Section
12.6 CONFIGURATION: Dock Server
Application
using the Public IP number and port that was supplied to the Iridium
RUDICS Service Provider in
Section 12.3.2
.
Test the configuration as described in
Section 12.8 Initial Checkout and

. Almost ALL of these test can be performed before the actual RUDICS
account is open. Almost ALL of these tests can be performed without a Glider.
12.3.5 Configure the Gliders
Follow the procedures outlined in Section
12.7 CONFIGURATION: Glider
using the
Iridium “
number to dial”
and SIM card that was supplied by the Iridium RUDICS Service
Provider in
Section 12.3.2
Test the configuration as described in
Section 12.8 Initial Checkout and
Troubleshooting
.
12.4 Glider/GLMPC Terminal Usage
Gliders connecting to the Dock Server via Iridium RUDICS appear the same as a Glider
connecting via Freewave or the
“traditional”
Iridium PSTN. There is full functionality in
all GMC applications:
(i)
Glider Terminal : Glider Perspective
(ii) Glider Terminal : Serial Port Perspective
(iii) GLMPC Terminal
(iv) Data Visualizer
The Iridium RUDICS Gliders appear to be connected on a
virtual
serial port:
net/<N>
where <N> will vary from 0 to one less than the number of virtual serial ports allocated.
The number of allocated
virtual
serial ports limits the number of Gliders that can be
simultaneously connected via Iridium RUDICS. There is NO PENALTY (other than
screen clutter) for allocating a huge number of
virtual
serial ports. See
Section 12.6
