UNIX Computers
This chapter tells how to configure a UNIX computer to use Globalstar data
service. To do this, you physically connect the UNIX computer to your
QUALCOMM Globalstar Tri-Mode Phone, then, in most cases, configure a
“modem” and a packet data or an asynchronous connection.
Globalstar data service has been tested with the following:
■ Solaris UNIX
■ Red Hat Linux
Note
The examples in this chapter use Solaris version 2.6 and Red Hat
Linux 6.1. Setup for other UNIX OS versions and PPP
applications may vary.
Connecting UNIX Components
To use Globalstar data service with UNIX, you connect the following
hardware components:
■ UNIX computer running Solaris or Red Hat Linux
■ QUALCOMM serial data cable (included in QUALCOMM Globalstar
Packet Data Kit)
■ QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1600 Tri-Mode Phone
