To access the Supervisor Menu of the terminal through the BMS follow these steps. 1. Reset the RST100 terminal pressing the red reset button on the unit, or alternatively power cycle the unit. This will ensure the PC recognises the terminal. - Page 14 RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL 2. Open the BMS application on your PC 3. Once the application is running it should ask you to select the Comm. Port from which to operate, it may also allow you to select it automatically. From time to time you may need to restart your computer, as some Comm.

Page 15: Supervisor Menu
2. The Supervisor Menu allows control and access to all the following Menu items. The RST100 is capable of being loaded with new firmware in the field so some items on the RST Supervisor Menu may change as software is upgraded. It is probable you will see new items appear on your RST that are not listed here, but the structure is self-explanatory. -

Page 23: Resets Menu
Resets Menu Reboot RST The Reset Menu of the BMS allows you to reboot the RST100 Terminal from the BMS system without having to remove the power or hit the reset switch. This is ideal when the terminal is installed in a secure or difficult to access location. -
Page 24: Lbt Menu
The Start up parameters of the LBT as highlighted in this menu option should be left at the factory default. These should only be configured under instruction form your Service Provider or Beam Technical Support. This tab exists to reprogram the power-up profile of a particular LBT if it should end up outside the defaults. -
Page 25: Power Menu
RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL Power Menu The Power Menu option allows for specific configuration of the RST100 terminal to enable the unit to go into power saving modes. These modes may be desirable in some applications whereby the unit is being used in remote environments on Solar Power, and where incoming calls may not be required. -
Page 26: Slic Off
RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL SLIC off How long in ms the loop is powered down between off-hook checks. The longer this value the more power saving, at the expense of a longer off-hook detect time. SLIC holdup Once the phone has been hung up after a call, wait this amount of time in seconds before going back to power saving mode. -
Page 27: Settings Menu
RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL Settings Menu Data / SIM Settings Timeouts Call Termination The Call Termination parameter enables you to set how long to wait in minutes before terminating a terminal initiated call if there has been no voice or data activity on the line for the specified period of time. -
Page 28: Dtr De-Assert
DTR signal is continuously being asserted by the Terminal program. As a Data Session is started, the RST100 detects the assertion by the Terminal of the DTR signal (Data Terminal Ready). The RST100 will then switch the Internal Satellite Modem (ISM) to the Comm. -
Page 29: Cts De-Assert
RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL CTS de-assert CTS behaviour is only configurable on Hardware revision H.0 or later. When the RST is in voice mode, either because DTR is de-asserted or a Data activity timeout has occurred (see Timeouts Menu), CTS can be programmed to be asserted or de-asserted. De-asserted is more technically correct since the Data port cannot handle characters at this time. -

RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL SIM/SMSC Settings Disables PIN lock This function enables the SIM PIN request to be deactivated. This will then enable the terminal to register as soon as it is powered up without requesting the PIN be entered. To disable PIN enter the current SIM PIN and then press disable To enable the SIM PIN again enter the requested PIN and then press enable SMSC (SMS Gateway Number) -

RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL Analog RJ11/POTS Settings Line Settings / Tones / Ringer Configure the RJ11 phone ring frequency and cadence. Frequency On most modern phones frequency change will have no noticeable effect. There are two ON and OFF times (in ms) to allow for a European style RING.RING…… style. -
Page 32: Dial Tone
RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL Dial tone Using these parameters the dial tone can be set to a Prrrrrr or a Beeeep. For a Beep set the OFF time to 0 and ON to 200ms Frequency Frequency of the dial tone. ON/OFF timers Defines the cadence of the dial tones. -
Page 33: Unavailable
RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL Unavailable Configure how the network unavailable tone sounds. This tone is generated if the RST is not registered on the Iridium network as yet or Iridium indicates it is unavailable. Normal busy tones are not generated by the RST but by the network. Frequency Frequency of the unavailable tone. -
Page 34: Gain Settings
The higher the gain is set the more likely that you will experience delayed echo from the Iridium network. The RST contains specially designed echo suppression circuitry designed by Beam to minimize the effect of this echo but care must be taken. -
Page 35: Impedance
RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL Impedance Impedance settings relate to the load the RJ11 phone presents to the RST. As the RJ11 phone line interface is a 2-wire standard, it relies on careful balancing between the impedance expected and experienced by the RST to stop signals in each direction being improperly reflected. -
Page 36: Timeouts
RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL Timeouts DTMF 1st Digit How long to generate dial tone in milliseconds before the 1st digit of the phone number is pressed on the phone. If this time expires it is likely the phone has been left off the hook accidentally and a special rising tone at maximum volume is made to prompt the user to hang-up. -

RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL Call Processing Enable Turn on/off phone number processing on the RST. To turn on tick the Enable local processing box, top left. Allows local calls to be dialled just as if you were on a normal copper phone line. If disabled most of the settings below have no effect except the voicemail shortcut. -
Page 39: Std Leading Digit
RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL STD Leading Digit If the 1st digit of the phone number is this number it is assumed to be national call rather than a local call. The phone number will therefore include the area code to be dialled. Default is ‘0’. -
Page 40: Iridium Translation Numbers
RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL Iridium Translation Numbers Emergency Local shortcut for emergency services. Commonly set to ‘000’, ‘112’ or ‘911’. Voicemail Local shortcut to retrieve voicemail messages. Default is ‘101’. If this number is dialled, even if call processing is disabled, it is assumed that any waiting voicemails have been retrieved and the voicemail waiting indication (and stutter/ding) is extinguished. -
