Unrestricted Digital Internetworking Connectivity Solution (RUDICS) server/client to support
incoming and outgoing communications with the SHOUT ts. Under special cases and with a
signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), NAL Research will release our proprietary GPS

Use the included SatTerm software to set up the SHOUT ts operating parameters,
geofences, contacts, and canned messages. Most of the operating parameters can be set
using the SHOUT ts on-screen menus. However, more sophisticated features such as
encryption and geofence must be carried out via SatTerm and a computer connected to the
SHOUT ts. For contacts and canned messages, the SHOUT ts sends only short codes instead
of the message body to a NOC server. Short codes are then mapped to the real addresses
and/or canned messages with a lookup table saved on the NOC server during setup.
Therefore, when SatTerm is used to enter contacts and canned messages, SatTerm
synchronizes short codes between the SHOUT ts and the NOC server. Email addresses, on
the other hand, can be entered on the fly.
