Type in the phone number for the NOMAD MXU. This field (at the top of the NOMAD MXU
Connection Data section) must contain any digits required to get an outside line, long distance, any

is not required if the MCM PC will be directly connected to the NOMAD MXU via serial cable.

Select the Modem button for a phone connection or the Cable button for a direct connection to the
NOMAD MXU. If you have not already saved the configuration, you will be prompted to save it with
a descriptive name at this time.
4.1.4 Enter Security Data
If the Timeout Enabled box is checked, the NOMAD MXU will shut down automatically when not
contacted by the MCM program (by doing a security poll, or configuration change, or diagnostic log
retrieval, etc.). The number of days that the NOMAD MXU will continue to work without contact before
shutting down is set in the Timeout field
Uncheck the NOMAD MXU Enabled box if you want to be able to configure the NOMAD MXU but
restrict it from answering calls from the Iridium phones until you enable it again.
4.1.5 Configure Pooled Time Groups
Use the Define Groups button to bring down a dialog box, which will allow you to name and enable up to
three groups whose MSISDN members will share airtime.
4.1.6 Enter MSISDNs
Use the Add NOMAD ISU (Iridium Subscriber Unit) button to bring down a dialog box to enter the
assigned MSISDN number and group (if any) for each Iridium phone at the NOMAD MXU site. As each
phone number is entered, a new entry will appear in the main screen display, and the unique Charge ID for
that phone will be allocated. If an MSISDN account is not a member of an airtime pooling group, leave the
selection in the group selection box at NONE (see figure 8 ).
4.1.7 Set Nomad Airtime Recharge
If this site is to receive Nomad program airtime at the start of each month, enter the number of minutes to
be allocated for each phone and click on the Apply Recharge Minutes button. Phones that are members of
a pooled airtime group will be shown with the available pooled time for the whole group in the Recharge
column of the main display window.
4.1.8 Allocate Airtime
If paid airtime or partial month Nomad airtime is to be assigned to any group, double click on any group
member entry in the main display window. Add the airtime minutes into the edit field for the desired
airtime category. Do the same for any non-group members that need to be changed.
