3.5.1 USB Data
The SHOUT ns communicates to computer equipment using the USB Micro B port located
on the right side of the chassis (see Figure 4). The USB connection allows configuration of
and data collection from the SHOUT ns using NAL Research's defined AT commands and NAL's
SatTerm console window. These AT commands can be found in the manual "AT Commands
for Model SHOUT ns" [1] and also see Section 5.2 Modes of Operation. NAL Research
recommends the use of SatTerm graphical user interface (GUI) software to configure the
SHOUT ns instead of trying to memorize various AT commands. The latest version of this
software
can

3.5.2 DC Power Inputs
The device can be powered from and recharge the internal battery through the USB Micro
B port. A USB 1.0 host (100 mA) can charge the battery within 8 hours and a USB 2.0 host
(500 mA) can charge the battery within 2 hours.
3.6 Bluetooth
The SHOUT ns utilizes a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transceiver to provide a secondary
command interface to the micro USB port. This interface can be used to interface with
SatTerm and the NAL SHOUT Android app.
To pair a device with the SHOUT ns, an initial connection to the USB interface is required.
During the pairing process utilizing SatTerm, the command AT^BTPASS is used to enter the
passkey. Devices without a display such as the SHOUT ns will require passkey entry on the
master device. If this occurs, the SHOUT ns will provide the passkey to be entered. Refer to
the document "AT Commands for Model SHOUT ns" [1] for additional details. The SatTerm
