1 Direct Internet 2.0 Overview

Iridium’s Direct Internet 2.0 Data Service provides enhanced Internet connectivity through dedicated

servers at the Iridium gateway, allowing you to execute accelerated file transfers and to more efficiently

browse the Internet and exchange email. Using this service, you connect directly to the Internet, using

your Iridium phone as a data modem.

Improved effective data throughput is achieved through user defined levels of image and text

compression. The channel rate is still 2.4 Kbps, but an effective throughput of over 10kbps can be

achieved depending on content and the user defined acceleration level.

Before using Direct Internet 2.0, you will need to install the client software (provided on the Iridium Data

Services CD or from our website) on your computer.

How it Works

To access the Direct Internet 2.0 service, you will need a computer and data capable Iridium phone.

You will connect the computer to the Iridium phone with a serial cable. In essence, the Iridium phone

appears as an external modem to your computer.

By initiating a connection through the preconfigured dial-up connection, your handset will dial and initiate

a connection with the Iridium gateway through the Iridium satellite constellation, and the switch will route

the call to the Direct Internet 2.0 server. Once connected to the Direct Internet 2.0 server and a session

has been established, the Direct Internet 2.0 Accelerator will automatically detect the connection and

enhance your browsing speed. You can then check your email and browse the Internet just like you

would via standard dial-up service, except that now you have the advantages offered by the Direct

Internet 2.0 Data Service.

3 Direct Internet 2.0 Installation

Direct Internet 2.0 utilizes the standard Windows Dial-Up Networking connection along side the Direct

Internet 2.0 Accelerator. Prior to using your Iridium phone as a modem for Direct Internet 2.0, you must

first install and configure the Iridium PPP Data Modem, a Direct Internet 2.0 Dial-Up Connection, and the

Direct Internet 2.0 Accelerator.

This section contains instructions for installing all aspects of the Direct Internet 2.0 Data Service.

3.1 Important Considerations

•You must have an available serial port on your computer (e.g., COM1).

•You must have Administrator privileges if using Windows NT, 2000 or XP Professional.

•The Iridium Direct Internet 2.0 Data CD or install files downloaded from our web site.

3.2 Installation

1. Close all applications.

2. Disable any applications that are using the serial port (e.g. COM1) to which you will connect your

Iridium phone. This includes PDA applications (e.g., HotSync), GPS and 2-way pager software.

3. Insert the Direct Internet 2.0 Data CD into your CD drive and browse to the main folder (or locate the

already downloaded setup files).

4. Double click on Setup.exe and carefully follow the instructions displayed on the install screens. Users

with the Direct Internet 2.0 Data CD that have the Windows feature AutoRun enabled will be

presented with a menu on which they can select to Run Setup.

6. Setup will now ask if an acceptable modem is installed. Detailed instructions on how to install a

modem under each of the various Windows operating systems can be found by clicking the “View

instructions” button. Users of Windows XP or 2000 can proceed to Step 7a of this document for a

step-by-step guide on installing the modem driver.

Warning!: Pressing Next > without having a valid modem installed will result in a failed install!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7a. You must make sure a valid modem is installed and if not, install one. Open the Control Panel and

click on Phone and Modem Options. Click on the Modems tab and review the installed modems. If

the Iridium PPP Data Modem or other compatible driver has already been installed, please skip down

to step 8. If no modem is installed, click Add…
