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, use the command AT^BTPASS to enter the
passkey. Devices without a display such as the SHOUT ns require passkey entry on the master
device. If this occurs, the SHOUT ns provides the passkey to be entered. Refer to the document
"AT Commands for Model SHOUT ns" [1] for additional details. The SatTerm application is
described in more detail in section 5.2 Using SatTerm. The NAL SHOUT Android app is described
in more detail in section 6 NAL SHOUT Android App Overview.
The Bluetooth interface has a 10-minute idle timer that turns off the Bluetooth interface when
there is no data transfer or when it is disconnected for 10 minutes. To keep the interface alive,
periodically send an AT command such as just "AT" (the SHOUT ns will respond with "OK").
