Advanced settings
User accounts and user access
Users accounts with Administrator privileges have the ability
to modify Firewall and Wi-Fi settings as well as manage User
access. Administrator users (by default “guest” user is an
Administrator) may modify these settings either through the
Iridium GO! application by pressing the Advanced icon or through
the Iridium GO! Advanced Features portal.
Firewall settings
Iridium GO! has a built-in Firewall system which will allow you to
filter outbound traffic for use with non-optimized applications.
You may set this to allow or block all traffic as well as add
filtering exceptions.
Wi-Fi settings
By default the Iridium GO! device Wi-Fi connection is set to
“open” but can be modified to WPA2 by a user with Administrator
privileges through the Advanced icon.
User management
User management provides the administrator with the ability
to create additional user accounts. These new accounts can
then be modified by the administrator to limit access to different
features.
SOS
Iridium GO! offers a programmable SOS button that can be
used to notify specified contacts or a commercial safety service
provider in the event of an emergency. You must properly
configure the SOS settings within the Iridium GO! application
or Advanced Features portal. Once configured, an SOS can be
initiated either from the Iridium GO! device by opening the SOS
cover and pressing the red SOS button or from the Iridium GO!
application by pressing the SOS icon when paired to the Iridium
GO! device.
Pressing the SOS button will only send an emergency
message with location while an SOS initiated from the
Iridium GO! application will also provide the option for two-
way voice communication with a designated contact.
