SatDOCK 9555 Installation & User Manual
Suitable for Marine installation
Not only is the SatDOCK 9555 suitable for various vehicle
applications but also is suited to marine applications. Install in a small
boat, right up to a large vessel and have your 9555 handset ready
for use.
Handset Charging
When the 9555 is seated in the SatDOCK, the 9555 battery is charged
whilst the vehicles ignition is on.
9555 Functionality
The major advantage of the SatDOCK is the hands-free use,
combined with a sturdy docking capability allowing the permanently
installed antenna to increase call quality and signal penetration. The
9555 handset will support all the standard functionality whilst being
used with the Beam In-vehicle kit, plus a single-touch mute function
accessible from the front of the SatDOCK.
Intelligent Handset Interface
The SatDOCK supports the optional Beam Intelligent Handset,
RST970 via the Hands-free Interface (HFI) module. The handset
supports voice calls as well as utilizing the Iridium SMS service. The
handset is compact and includes an in-built ring alert. The handset
also enables a private in-vehicle conversation.
USB Data Port
A USB data port is provided on the bottom of the SatDOCK cradle.
This USB port when used with the Iridium 9555 handset supplied
USB driver creates a virtual COM port on your PC that can be
addressed the same as the RS232 Data port on the HFI unit.
RS232 Data Port
A RS232 serial data port is provided via the “COM Port” on the HFI
module, allowing data calls, or tracking / alerting modules or a PC
to be connected. Refer to the AT commands guide on the Beam
website www.beamcommunications.com/support for Iridium AT
