INTRODUCTION
Introduction
This installation guide provides an overview of the MissionLINK equipment and instructions for
proper installation and initial start-up of the Certus 350 and Certus 200 MissionLINK systems. It
contains critical information and safety guidelines for those who install the system and perform
initial system activation and test.
After initial start-up, for more detailed operational procedures, refer to the MissionLINK User
Manual (Document # 84468) located on the Thales website and also accessible through the
terminal’s Management Portal.
A typical MissionLINK user setup that includes standard kit items, accessories and user provided
items such as a POTS phone, VoIP phones and a computer is shown in Figure 1-1. A cellular
modem or other network modem can be connected to the WAN port for data least-cost routing
operations. Voice calls are always routed through the Iridium satellite system and not the WAN
port. Refer to Table 1-2, Table 1-3, Table 1-4 and Table 1-5 for a list of kit contents, available
accessories and spare parts.
