Using the Iridium Network for Data Calls
Data calls are limited to the 2.4 Kbps bandwidth of the Iridium Network,
which was originally designed for less-demanding voice service.
For best results with data calls, we recommend the Direct Internet 2.0
service from Iridium. This new service uses dedicated servers, plus data
compression techniques, that result in faster data transfer rates. Direct
Internet 2.0 requires a compatible computer, serial cable, an available
Iridium transceiver channel, and the installation of free software. For more
information, visit www.iridium.com.
Connecting Equipment for Data Calls
Your AirCell Axxess system provides you with two data channels, which
use the Iridium Network. Because voice calls generally use Channel 1, we
recommend that you connect data equipment to Channel 2. This maintains
greater availability of Channel 2 for general use.
Connect a PC data device using a standard RS-232 serial computer cable.
Note that only one data device can be connected per channel – so be sure
to promptly disconnect any unneeded devices.
Placing Data Calls
Your Axxess system lets you place e-mail and Internet data calls.
How to place a data call:
1 Connect the computer to your Axxess system.
2 Using your software, initiate a data call.
3 While connecting, watch the call progress on the computer
monitor. Watch for the message that indicates a connection.
4 Test the connection by opening a simple Web site with your
browser. For example, browse www.google.com.
Note:
If you cannot connect, check your hardware connections,
software settings, and dialing information. If problems persist,
contact AirCell Customer Support.
