ONFIGURING THE
SHOUT
NS
If you want to change the default settings, the SHOUT ns supports a USB Micro-B connection to
a computer with SatTerm software (or any terminal emulator software) activated to configure
its operating profile using NAL Research’s defined AT commands. Find these AT commands in
the NAL document “AT Commands for SHOUT ns/nsx” [1]. The SHOUT ns does not support
auto-baud and the default baud is factory-set at 19.2 kbps. Baud rate can be changed with the
+IPR command.
The required hardware and software for the configuration of the SHOUT ns include:

A desktop or laptop computer (not provided).

A USB-A to USB Micro-B cable (provided with the SHOUT ns).

A USB AC wall plug adapter (provided with the SHOUT ns).

SatTerm software or any terminal emulator software (SatTerm is available on the NAL
Research web site (See Section 4 Technical Support).
To configure the operating profile using NAL Research’s defined AT commands:
1. Connect the USB-A to USB Micro-B cable to the adapter and the SHOUT ns to charge
the device.* Hold the power button for 2 seconds. Upon powering on the SHOUT ns
while plugged in, the Battery , GPS , Iridium , and Status LEDs blink in a clockwise
sequence for 3 seconds. Charge the battery for at least one (1) hour prior to use.**
*Note : The SHOUT ns can alternatively be charged with a computer USB 2.0 or later
port.
**Note : Upon battery depletion, the SHOUT ns should reach full charge in 2 hours once
plugged in.
2. Install SatTerm software on a computer. See the NAL document “SatTerm User Guide”
[2] for details. Connect the provided USB-A to USB-Micro-B cable to the computer and
to the SHOUT ns and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn the device on.
3. Run the SatTerm software while the SHOUT ns is connected to a computer. An NAL
Research message appears along with firmware version to indicate proper
