NRT/NRM TERRESTRIAL SETUP AND TEST
The NRT/NRM Terrestrial has a SIM card which needs to be installed and the NRT/NRM
should on power up and connect to the Cellular network within a few seconds.
Note the SIM card must have the security PIN number switched off or disabled. This
needs to be done by using the SIM card in a normal mobile phone.

Observing the Detailed status of an NRT/NRM using Starlog 4 Setup Software
To observe the internal operation / status of the NRT/NRM you can connect up a laptop
computer running Starlog 4 Setup software and run the diagnostic / communications
channel (which is only available if you have selected an NRT/NRM setup scheme) to
observe several more parameters.
The Starlog 4 setup software has a Terminal / Hyper Terminal like mode where you can
communicate directly with the NRT/NRM and set various engineering settings and
observe detailed status using a series of prompts and menus
The screen shots on the following page indicate some of the parameters which can be
checked using Starlog Version 4 support software.
4.1.1
Communicating with the NRT/NRM Using a Laptop Computer
1.
If the NRT/NRM has already been initialised go directly to step 12.
2.
Start Starlog 4 Software and open the scheme you have set up previously for this
NRT/NRM.
3.
Go to the Diagnostics tab in Starlog 4.
4.
Click on the COMMS window.
5.
Click on the CONNECT button.
6.
You should see the star * prompt indicating the NRT/NRM is now communicating
with the laptop computer.
7.
In the COMMS window type Alt M to invoke the menu within the NRT/NRM.
8.
The NRT/NRM Main Menu will then appear.
9.
Type S for setup, and await the next menu.
10. Type I for initialise, and await the completion of the initialisation process.
11. If the initialisation process passes (wait 2 to 4 minutes- please be patient) there will
be a PASS message from the NRT/NRM displayed on the screen.
12. Then press ESC and another ESC to exit the menu system. You should see the
message EXIT on the screen. If there is no response the RTS button at the top of
the screen will have been disabled and you will need to re tick the RTS button.
