Connecting Phones

Android, iOS, and PBX Software

The MCG-101 can run voice calls made on your smartphone through the Iridium network as regular Iridium satellite phone calls. In order to enable this feature, you must download the free XGate Phone App. You may download it here:

Note: While it is recommended to use the XGate Phone app, any SIP VoIP soft-phone client software can be used with the MCG-101.

All settings are automatically put in for you. It is not necessary to make any changes. To make a call, the MCG-101 must be powered on, and you must be connected to the wireless network.

The XGate Satellite Phone App will allow you to make phone calls through the MCG-101 using your smartphone. You will be able to access all your contacts just as you would normally be able to. The MCG-101 comes pre-programmed with four SIP voice extensions. By default, these extensions are 201 through 204. The SIP password for all four extensions is 1234.

201 is defined as the captain line and is the only line that can receive calls. The XGate Phone app comes configured for use with extension 201. If more than one user is expected to use the system, then each user should be assigned a different extension.

Extensions, passwords, and ring groups can be defined in the MCG-101’s web admin UI under Services > PBX. If using an analog phone adapter with MCG-101 (sold separately), the analog phone adapter will assign line 1 (the captain line) to extension 201 and line 2 (if using a dual analog phone adapter) to extension 202.

Users using the XGate Phone app in addition to analog adapters need to change the settings in XGate Phone or other SIP clients to change the SIP extensions to something other than 201 and 202 (since those two extensions will automatically be assigned to the analog adapters and will cause conflicts if the SIP clients try to use those same extensions).
