6.1 Equipment Setup
A physical connection is required from the source (satellite terminal or satellite phone
that transmits GPS coordinates, or other GPS/NMEA device) to the Optimizer.
6.1.1 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 WiFi, so you can
connect your computer either way in order to establish a successful connection with
your destination software.
