6.2.2.1.1.2 GPS Always On
This option forces the GPS receiver to remain ON in between reports allowing the SHOUT
ns to have immediate location information (GPS hot start assuming the SHOUT ns always has
full view of the sky) each time it is ready to transmit a tracking report. When low-power
consumption is not critical, enabling this option is recommended for faster GPS acquisition
and more accurate location information. If the SHOUT ns powers down to sleep while idle, the
GPS receiver will also turn off. The AT command associated with this setting is ^GAO.
6.2.2.1.1.3 Start-Up Mode
This option sets the operating mode for when the unit is powered on or wakes up from
sleep. The default is to power-up the unit in Tracking mode to allow the unit to begin tracking
after a power cycle and to automatically send reports at a pre-determined interval.
Alternatively, the SHOUT ns can also be configured to power-up in Command mode allowing
