STEP 8: SEND AND RECEIVE SATELLITE MESSAGES
Confirm all cables are properly connected. Refer to Step 3
"Verify App Connection"
On the Device page, confirm that signal indicator shows at least three
bars, ideally 4 or 5 bars. If less than three bars are visible for more
than sixty seconds, confirm good visibility to the sky in all directions.
With an adequate signal level, the Iridium Edge Demo App should
start reporting at regular intervals.
Go to the Chat page, type a test message and press "Send".
Wait till the message is timestamped and transmitted. These
messages can be read and replied to on the demo portal.
Drive the vehicle at a slow speed (<40km/h, 25mi/h) to ensure the
Iridium Edge remains safely mounted to the vehicle. Drive vehicle
for a suitable duration to allow the App to send the expected number
of messages at two-minute intervals. Observe all driving laws and
safety guidelines in your jurisdiction.
Upon completion, disconnect all cables and power.
