Compose
The Compose menu allows user to edit and send canned messages, free-text
messages or a combination of canned and free-text messages to a NOC server.
Three on-screen keyboards are available for information to be entered or
modified. The up
keyboards. When Compose is selected, the Message menu appears with three
options to choose from—Choose Canned Msg, Enter Text and Next.
The Choose Canned Msg option lists out canned messages user can select to send
to a NOC. Sending canned messages saves bandwidth and airtime cost because it
is only short codes that are being transmitted instead of the entire message body.
SatTerm is used to create and save canned messages into the SHOUT nano's
memory. During setup SatTerm requires connectivity between the nano and a
NOC server to synchronize the lookup table of short codes. As with the Address
Book, short codes are used to map the actual canned messages to a lookup table
located at a NOC. The short codes are defined by application developers and not
by the nano.
