WHAT YOU MAY NEED IN ADDITION TO THE KIT

The Modem Integrator's Kit should be sufficient for setting up one modem on a bench for development and testing. For GSP-1620 modem development purposes (bench setup and developing modem applications), it is recommended that you have a Windows PC because this Modem Integrator's Kit uses Windows for examples and is needed for the UTPST.

If necessary, you can power the modem via the AC adapter on the Diagnostic cable, but you may prefer to use your own DC power supply. For mounting information, please see the detailed information in the reference manual.

OEMs who are packaging modems into end-user products will need to supply mounting enclosures and customized cables. For details, see "Integrating GSP-1620 Modems into OEM Products" on page 7-1 of the Integrator's Kit Reference Manual.

Configuration and setup of computer systems to use the GSP-1620 modem with Point-to-Point Protocol is beyond the scope of the Integrator's Kit Reference Manual. However, the configuration procedures for the GSP-1600 Tri-Mode Phone are included as a reference in the Data User Guide located on this CD-ROM. For example, using the procedures in this document, you'll be able to set up a Windows modem driver and Windows Dial-Up Networking. With the proper DNS addresses from your Service Provider or ISP, you'll be able to access the Internet using your GSP-1620 modem via the Globalstar satellite system.
