Using the system after the very first setup 

 

4.3.1 

If you had setup the drivers, built and froze the map and hadn’t moved stationary beacons, 
in order to start using the system again, you simply have to power up the modem. The map 
is stored inside the modem and the system will be ready to handle your mobile beacons in 5 
seconds after that
