The Satellite module provides the air interface to allow two-way radio systems to interface to
either another Beam SatRADIO terminal or any terrestrial phone service anywhere on earth.
There are three key ways to use the Satellite component of the RST825
Handset Mode
This mode enables you to simply make a satellite telephone call using the Iridium handset of
the terminal. Simply take the handset off the cradle and make a satellite call as though you
were using a typical cellular telephone.
Radio Handset – DTMF Model
Using a DTMF compatible Two-way Radio it is possible to make or receive a call over the
satellite network from the Radio device. To make a call from a Radio handset a PIN is
required. This is configurable, and to protect against unauthorized calling.
Autodial Mode
This mode enables the RST825 to continuously keep connected into a preset destination.
This is ideal for emergency or disaster recovery situations when the terminal may be being
used as a primary communication tool or a replacement for a Radio link that is down.
Using Satellite Handset Mode
This mode enables you to simply make a satellite telephone call using the Intelligent handset
of the terminal. Simply take the handset off the cradle and make a satellite call as though you
were using a typical cellular telephone.
To make a satellite call, simply follow these simple steps:
1. Remove the handset from the cradle by pushing the handset up
2. Enter the phone number you wish to call.
a. Consult your Satellite SIM provider for standard dialing instructions as this
may vary depending on the type of satellite SIM used
3. Once the number has been entered press the
OK
button to commence calling
4. To terminate the call simply press
C
5.
To adjust the volume in call simply press the arrow up/down on handset
Handset Mode Transferred to Radio Mode (for calls initiated or
answered on the Intelligent Handset)
It is possible to make a call (or answer a call) on the Intelligent Satellite handset and then
transfer the call through to the Radio network. Answer an incoming call on the Intelligent
Handset keypad, or make a call on the Intelligent Handset.
1.
During the call, activate the “Dial” input by placing it in the ON position (for
greater than 1sec). The call will now be routed to the radio audio circuit.
2.
Toggle the switch for the “Dial” input by switching it back to the OFF
position. This does NOT hang up the call. Pressing DTMF-0 on the
handheld radio returns the call to the Intelligent Handset
