Applies to: 9602-NAL, Version C, 451-92695-001C. This is an integrated SBD transceiver, not a consumer internet router. Distinguish it from 9602-A, 9602-AB and a bare Iridium module. Work from an installed host system and its existing logs.

Work through these checks
Locate the earliest startup evidence
Use the host’s existing capture to locate the first response after its recorded power-up. Preserve the lines before and after the fault, not just the final ERROR. Compare with a known working capture from the same installation if available; a different integration is not a reliable baseline.
What the result means: Observation only for an authorized installed system. Do not probe connector pins, rewire power, inject AT commands, clear message buffers or reset stored profiles. Host configuration and electrical diagnosis belong to the integrator. Keep device identifiers, payloads and recipient details private.
Keep serial settings with the capture
Record the configured host port, cable/interface description and serial settings from the integrator’s documentation. Do not guess a working configuration by trying random settings. The manual says this device does not support autobaud; that makes the documented baseline important when output is absent or unreadable.
What the result means: Observation only for an authorized installed system. Do not probe connector pins, rewire power, inject AT commands, clear message buffers or reset stored profiles. Host configuration and electrical diagnosis belong to the integrator. Keep device identifiers, payloads and recipient details private.
Separate failure from missing completion
Preserve any HARDWARE FAILURE line in full. Keep the session result together with the preceding host event, so support can see whether initialization, local access or a later transmission stage failed. A generic ERROR without context is insufficient to select a replacement part.
What the result means: Observation only for an authorized installed system. Do not probe connector pins, rewire power, inject AT commands, clear message buffers or reset stored profiles. Host configuration and electrical diagnosis belong to the integrator. Keep device identifiers, payloads and recipient details private.
Escalate without losing the baseline
Send official support and the system integrator a private copy of the timeline, exact model, document number and current host configuration. Ask them to identify the failing stage before authorizing changes. Preserve an original capture and a separate redacted public copy; do not clear the evidence merely to make the warning disappear.
What the result means: Observation only for an authorized installed system. Do not probe connector pins, rewire power, inject AT commands, clear message buffers or reset stored profiles. Host configuration and electrical diagnosis belong to the integrator. Keep device identifiers, payloads and recipient details private.
When to stop and get help
