Windows Computers
This chapter tells how to configure a computer running Windows 95, 98,
NT, or 2000 to use Globalstar data service. To do this, you physically
connect the computer to your QUALCOMM Globalstar Tri-Mode Phone,
then, in most cases, configure a “modem” driver and a new Dial-Up
Networking connection.
Your QUALCOMM Globalstar Packet Data Kit CD contains a modem
installation wizard, which can help you quickly configure both the driver
and Dial-Up Networking.
Note
Physically connecting hardware components is similar for all
Windows versions. However, modem/networking configuration
differs significantly for Windows 2000. The wizard on your CD
handles all versions; see “Quick Start Installation” on page 14.
Connecting Windows Components
To use Globalstar data service with Windows, you connect the following
hardware components:
■ A PC or laptop running Microsoft Windows
■ QUALCOMM serial data cable (included in the QUALCOMM
Globalstar Packet Data Kit)
■ QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1600 Tri-Mode Phone
