6.0 CONFIGURING THE SHOUT NS

The SHOUT ns can be configured in one of three ways from a computer connected to the

SHOUT ns USB port; 1) manually through the SatTerm PC based application (see Section 6.2

Using SatTerm), 2) through a file download using SatTerm (see Section 6.2.2.4 Configure

Settings), and 3) via AT Commands (see Section 5.2.1 Command Mode).

A profile is a group of user-modifiable settings saved to non-volatile memory. There are

three types of profiles on the SHOUT ns: general profiles, tracking profiles, and additional

setup parameters ('Other').

General profiles contain settings that have a general impact on the operation of the SHOUT

ns. There are two stored general profiles numbered 0 and 1. In addition to the stored general

profiles, there is an "active" general profile, which is the set of general settings that are

currently in effect. At power-up, by default, general profile 0 is loaded into the "active" general

profile. However, user can change the power-up profile using AT command &Y. After power-

up, user can load the "active" general profile with any stored general profile using the Soft

Reset command Z. Alternatively, &F can be used to load factory default settings back into the

"active" general profile. Any modifications made to general profile settings apply to the

"active" general profile and are temporary. To save the modifications, user must write the

"active" general profile to one of the stored general profiles using &W. Settings that fall under

general profiles can be displayed using &V.

Tracking profiles contain settings that have an impact on the SHOUT ns during Tracking

mode. There are twelve stored tracking profiles numbered from 0 to 11. In addition to the

stored tracking Profiles, there is an "active" tracking profile, which is a temporary tracking

profile for the purpose of modifying a stored tracking profile. The "active" tracking profile is

not used in Tracking mode. Instead, tracking mode loads the stored tracking profiles directly

based on the current state. At power-up, tracking profile 0 is always loaded into the "active"

tracking profile. However, after power-up, user can load any of the stored tracking profiles

using the Soft Reset AT command ZT. Alternatively, &FT can be used to load factory default

settings back into the "active" tracking profile. Any modifications made to tracking profile

settings apply to the "active" tracking profile and are temporary. To save the modifications,
