1.2 CONNECTING SATTERM TO THE SHOUT NANO 100
The SHOUT nano 100 can be connected to SatTerm via a USB port of a Windows® PC, and can
also be connected to SatTerm through a Bluetooth link.
1.2.1 USB CONNECTION
Connect the SHOUT nano 100 to an available USB port on your computer with the provided
USB cable (or any standard USB cable).
Run the SatTerm application and wait for the main window to appear (see Figure 1).
SatTerm can be accessed from the Windows® “Start” menu in the All Programs\NAL
Research folder. The device may be powered ON or OFF before starting the SatTerm
software. The selected device type determines the functionality and tools available in
SatTerm. By default, the Device Type may be set to a value other than SHOUT nano 100. If
necessary, this setting can be changed from the main window.
Select Options>Properties>Device Type> SHOUT nano 100 from the SatTerm main menu
(see Figure 2).NOTE: For detailed information on how to connect the SHOUT nano 100 via
USB connection, refer to the SHOUT nano 100 User Guide [1] document.

1.3 PROFILE DESCRIPTIONS
A profile is a group of user-modifiable settings saved to nonvolatile memory. There are three
(3) types of profiles on the SHOUT nano 100: General Profile, Tracking Profile, and Other Profile).
General Profile: General Profile contain settings that have a general impact on the
operation of the SHOUT nano 100 (see General Profile Settings). There are two (2) stored
general profiles numbered 0 and 1. In addition to the stored general profiles, there is an
“active" general profile, which is the set of general settings that are currently in effect.

SatTerm for SHOUT nano 100 Manual Version A
Document Number: 451-21012-003A 16 of 56
At power-up, by default, general profile 0 is loaded into the “active” general profile.
However, you can change the power-up profile using AT command &Y.
After power-up, you can load the “active” general profile with any stored general
profile using the soft reset command Z.
Alternatively, you can use &F to load factory default settings back into the “active”
general profile.
Any modifications made to general profile settings apply to the “active” general profile
and are temporary. To save the modifications, write the “active” general profile to one
of the stored general profiles using &W.
Settings that fall under general profiles can be displayed using &V.
Tracking Profiles: Tracking profiles contain settings that have an impact on the SHOUT nano
100 during tracking mode (see 2.2 Tracking Profile Settings). There are 12 stored tracking
profiles numbered from 0 to 11. In addition to the stored tracking profiles, there is an
“active” tracking profile, which is a temporary tracking profile for the purpose of modifying
a stored tracking profile. The “active” tracking profile is not used in tracking mode. Instead,
tracking mode loads the stored tracking profiles directly based on the current state.
At power-up, tracking profile 0 is always loaded into the “active” tracking profile.
However, after power-up, you can load any of the stored tracking profiles using the
soft reset AT command ZT.
Alternatively, you can use &FT to load factory default settings back into the “active”
tracking profile.
Any modifications made to tracking profile settings apply to the “active” tracking
profile and are temporary. To save the modifications, user must write the “active”
tracking profile to one of the stored tracking profiles using &WT.
Settings that fall under tracking profiles can be displayed using &VT.
Additional Setup Parameters (Other): Additional setup parameters affect the SHOUT nano
100 globally and immediately. Unlike general profiles and tracking profiles, there is no

SatTerm for SHOUT nano 100 Manual Version A
Document Number: 451-21012-003A 17 of 56
“active” profile associated with these parameters to be saved or retrieved. Any
modifications to these settings are saved to nonvolatile memory directly.

Miscellaneous Tab
Select General Profile from the Profile Type drop-down list, if not already selected
(see Figure 17), and then select the Store Profile value (0or 1) from the Store Profile drop-
down list (see Figure 17).
2.1.1 MISCELLANEOUS TAB
When selected the Miscellaneous tab offers eight (8) settings (see Figure 17) –Successful
Send Required for State Change, Startup Information, Bluetooth Password, Normal Tracking
Profile, Emergency Tracking Profile, Power Update Time Refresh Frequency, Remote Update Time
Check, and Bluetooth Power Delay.
Successful Send Required for State Change: This option restricts the SHOUT nano 100 from
changing to a lower priority tracking mode based on whether or not a tracking report has
been transmitted. Among the three tracking modes, the order of priority is Emergency,
Geofence, and then Normal. When set to off, a change to the tracking mode takes effect
immediately (i.e. Emergency to Normal). When set to “At Least One Attempt”, the mode

SatTerm for SHOUT nano 100 Manual Version A
Document Number: 451-21012-003A 20 of 56
change will be delayed until at least one tracking cycle is complete. When set to “Success”,
the mode change will be blocked until a tracking report is transmitted successfully.
a. The AT command associated with this setting is AT^SSR.
Startup Information: This option hides/shows the power-up text (copyright, model number,
etc.) that is echoed to the SHOUT nano 100’s USB port.
a. The AT command associated with this setting is AT^SSI.
Bluetooth Password: Enables or disables the requirement to enter a password when pairing
a device with the SHOUT nano 100.
The AT command associated with this setting is AT^BTPASSEN.
Normal Tracking Profile: This option selects the stored tracking profile to be used in Normal
tracking mode.
a. The AT command associated with this setting is AT^TPN.
Emergency Tracking Profile: This option selects the stored tracking profile to be used in
Emergency tracking mode.
a. The AT command associated with this setting is AT^TPE.
Power Up Time Refresh Frequency: When a power-up delay is set, the SHOUT nano 100
periodically wakes up from sleep to adjust its internal clock against the GPS receiver timing
signal. If the GPS receiver does not yet have a time fix, the SHOUT nano 100 stays awake for
a specified period of time (Allowed GPS Acquisition Time) waiting for a GPS time fix. After
which, the SHOUT nano 100 sleeps for another period of time (Power Up Time Refresh
Frequency) before retrying to find a time fix.
a. These values are configured through the AT command ^PUPT.
Remote Update Time Check: This enables a time check for incoming remote updates. When
enabled, remote updates with a timestamp less than or equal to the last remote update
time are not applied.
a. The AT command associated with this setting is AT ^RUTC.
