When in Command mode, AT commands can be entered to configure the 9602-LP’s
operating profiles, or the 9602-LP can be operated as a 9602-G (standard SBD-modem with
GPS). As a reminder, developers are encouraged to use SatTerm GUI software to set up the
9602-LP instead of using AT commands.

When in Tracking mode, the 9602-LP automatically transmits GPS reports as defined by
parameters in the
active operating profile
(see description below). There are three different
types of Tracking modes—Normal Tracking, Emergency Tracking, and Test Tracking. The
9602-LP is factory-set for AT^START0 to turn on in Command mode and can be reset to
turn on in Tracking mode with the AT^START1 command. After the 9602-LP is turned on,
use the AT^TRK command to switch from Command mode to Tracking mode; switch from
Tracking mode back to Command mode with the +++ escape sequence. The flow chart in
describes operating modes of the 9602-LP.
There are three types of operating profiles—active operating profile, factory-default
operating profile, and user-defined operating profile.
The
active
operating profile
is the set of parameters currently in use by the 9602-
LP.
There are two
user-defined operating profiles
, profiles 0 and 1, available for the
9602-LP. Each user-defined operating profile can be edited and saved at any time
through the AT command &Wn.
The
factory-default operating profile
is stored permanently on the 9602-LP’s
memory and cannot be changed by the user. Profiles 0 and 1 are initially set as the
factory default profile.
When turned on and as a default, the 9602-LP loads
user-defined operating profile 0
into
the active operating profile. However, either one of the two user-defined operating profiles
can be designated as the active operating profile when turned on through the use of the
AT&Yn command. When turned on, the factory-default operating profile can be loaded (soft
