Bulk-Programming Modems
If you need to service-program modems in bulk, for instance
to be shipped with OEM market products, you have several
options for how to do this, as shown in Table 3-2.
Upgrading Modem Software
Sometimes it might be desirable or necessary to upgrade the
software on a GSP-1620 modem. The modem contains two
different kinds of software:
• Main application software — contains the true
application code for the modem. All Globalstar-specific
code, user interface code, and modem code resides in the
application software.
Table 3-2. Bulk Service-Programming Options
Programming Option For More Information
Program each modem individually, using the
UTPST’s graphical user interface.
See the Globalstar UT Program
Support Tool User’s Guide,
(80-98225-1), Chapter 5,
“Configuring Phone Settings”; and
the Globalstar User Terminal
Service Programming Guide
(80-98482-1).
Program one modem, save the settings to a file,
then re-program the remaining modems by
reading in the file using the UTPST.
(Note: Some manual programming would still be
required, for example to enter the IMSI for each
modem.)
See the Globalstar UT Program
Support Tool User’s Guide, Chapter
5, “Configuring Phone Settings,”
and Chapter 6, “Saving and
Transferring Phone Settings.”
Write scripts using the UTPST’s Application
Programming Interface (API). The UTPST
Scripting API is a library of functions that access
the data items on a modem directly, without
interacting with the UTPST user interface.
For instance, you could write a script that reads
configuration values from a database, then use the
UTPST Scripting API to write those values to
modems.
See the Globalstar UTPST Script
API Reference Manual
(80-99114-1).
Use another process as required by the activating
Service Provider.
Ask your Service Provider for
details.
