Auth; Binary Serial Packet Commands - Globalstar ST100 User Manual

4.1.1.11 "auth"

Unlocks privileged commands.
Command: auth
Arguments: A 32 bit unlocking key in Hexadecimal
Example: auth 11764BA3
Example response:
Auth success!
The following commands require a unique authorization key to be issued via this command before they will be
recognized: "bpm", "raw", "edfg"
The commands requiring "auth" are unlocked for 30 seconds after sending the auth command. Sending the commands
multiple times (e. g. "raw") DOES NOT "bump out" the 30 second timer. However, once the user has kicked the ST100
board into binary passthrough mode, the "auth" will expire concurrently with the binary passthrough expiry.
For instructions on how to generate the authorization key, contact Globalstar.

4.2 Binary Serial Packet Commands

These commands represent the Legacy Globalstar format.
These commands are accessible on an individual basis by issuing them as the argument to the "raw" ASCII command.
Several of these commands can be sent in order by putting the command interface into Binary Passthrough Mode by
issuing the "bpm" ASCII command.
NOTE: When using the "raw" command to send individual messages, the CRC is not sent by the user. The Nordic
processor firmware calculates and appends the correct CRC to the message going to the ASIC processor.
The CRC discussed below and given by example in the subsequent sections is only applicable from the user's point of
view when sending a series of messages in "binary passthrough mode" ("bpm" command).
