7.9.2. Broadband Satellite Terminal with Integrated GPS
When using a supported broadband satellite terminal with integrated GPS, connect the
terminal to the Optimizer SAT port using a standard Ethernet cable. (OPTIONAL: Use a
second Ethernet cable to connect the computer with the destination software, like a
navigation program, to the Optimizer LAN port.) The Optimizer will broadcast the GPS
signal both over Ethernet and Wi-Fi, so you can connect your computer either way to
establish a successful connection with your destination software.
7.9.3. USB NMEA Device
When using a NMEA device that supports a USB connection, connect the GPS/NMEA
device to the Optimizer with an appropriate USB to NMEA device cable as indicated by
the NMEA device manufacturer.
(OPTIONAL: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer with the destination
software, like a navigation program, to the Optimizer LAN port.)
The Optimizer will broadcast the GPS signal both over Ethernet and Wi-Fi, so you can
connect your computer either way to establish a successful connection with your
destination software.
NOTE: If your satellite device requires a USB connection to the Optimizer (for example,
an Iridium 9555) you can use a 2-port USB hub (either 1.0 or 2.0) plugged into the
Optimizer’s USB port to accommodate two USB devices.
