Figure 5: USB Connector Port The SHOUT nano 100 USB-C connector port is located on the left side of the chassis, as shown in Figure 5. This connector has a rubber O-ring sealed cover required to achieve the IP67 rating of the device. -
Page 14: Dc Power Inputs
LUETOOTH The SHOUT nano 100 utilizes a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transceiver to provide a secondary command interface path alternative to the USB-C connector port. Like the USB port, this interface can connect with SatTerm running on a Windows® PC. You can also establish a Bluetooth connection with a Bluetooth enabled Android device running the SHOUT nano 100 App (see section 5.1 Pairing the SHOUT nano 100 to Android Device). -
Page 15: Initial Setup
Home screen displays (see Figure 6). Figure 6: Home Screen NOTE: If the device is not used for 10 minutes, the SHOUT nano 100 enters sleep mode. The SHOUT nano 100 can be removed from the sleep mode by pressing the Power / Enter button for two (2) seconds. -
Page 16: Charge Device
The SHOUT nano 100 ships with a partially charged battery. Before use, charge the SHOUT nano 100 for one (1) hour. NOTE: Upon battery depletion, the SHOUT nano 100 should reach full charge within three (3) hours when continuously plugged in. -
Page 17: At Command Mode
“+++”. If “+++” is not entered within 10 seconds, the SHOUT nano 100 goes back to sleep. See section 4.2 Modes of Operation for a more detailed description of the command mode, and see the NAL document AT Commands for SHOUT nano 100 [1] for a full list of the AT command capabilities. -
Page 18: Important Features
ODES OF PERATION The SHOUT nano 100 is always in one of two modes: (1) command mode or (2) tracking mode. It can be configured to turn on in one of these modes. The factory-set Start-up Mode is tracking mode, which can be changed using the ^START command. For normal operational tracking scenarios, set the Start-Up Mode to tracking mode so that the unit continues tracking after waking up from sleep. -
Page 19: Command Mode
[1]. Use the commands to configure the SHOUT nano 100 operating parameters, to allow the SHOUT nano 100 be operated as a modem, and to query the GNSS receiver. Command mode can be switched to tracking mode by the AT command ^TRK. To switch back, use the escape sequence +++. -
Page 20: Call-Outs And Turn-On Delay
100 enters or exits a geofence. Priorities are assigned to the different stimuli and the SHOUT nano 100 only switches to the associated tracking profile if it has a higher priority. Emergency tracking has the highest priority, Geofence is the second highest, and normal tracking is the default. -
Page 21: Geofencing
Refer to the SatTerm for SHOUT nano 100 Manual [5]. A geofence is defined by a minimum of three (3) coordinates and a maximum of 50. Multiple geofences can be configured, each with a unique set of tracking parameters that cause the SHOUT nano 100 to change its tracking behavior while in a specific geofence. -
