INTRODUCTION
Introduction
This installation guide provides instructions for proper installation and initial start-up of the
VesseLINK
™
system and a basic system overview. 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 VesseLINK
™
User
Manual (Document # 84469) located on the Thales website and also accessible through the
BDU’s Management Portal.
A typical VesseLINK
™
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.
