STEP 9: CONFIRM SATELLITE PERFORMANCE
With a browser, log into the Mapping Portal (iridiumedgedemo.com)
with the same credentials used to create the account.
In order to send messages
to the Iridium Edge, select the
"Send Message" command from
the pulldown list by the mail envelope
and enter the desired message text.
Once the "Send Message" button
is pressed, the Mapping Portal
updates the display to show that the
"Message was Successfully Sent"
to the Iridium gateway. Messages
will appear on the Iridium Edge Demo
App once the device successfully
connects to the network.
See all previous incoming messages
and the status of the outgoing text
messages by selecting the "Mail
Envelope" on the left of the pulldown
arrow. The Incoming tab lists all the
text messages from the Iridium Edge.
The Outgoing tab lists all the text
messages to the Iridium Edge.
The Alerts tab is not required for the evaluation.
In the Outgoing tab, the Sent status is "Delivered" if the Iridium Edge
acknowledged receiving the message. Otherwise, the Sent status is
"Submitted" meaning the message is at the Iridium Gateway and not
yet transmitted to the Iridium Edge. This window is not automatically
refreshed if the Iridium Edge receives the message. Update the status
by using the "Refresh" button.
