messages into the SHOUT ts’ memory. During setup, SatTerm requires
connectivity between the SHOUT ts and a NOC server to synchronize the lookup
table of short codes. Sending canned messages saves bandwidth and airtime
cost because only short codes are being transmitted instead of the entire
message body. The short codes are defined by application developers and not by
the SHOUT ts.
7. Enter Text
a. Use the Enter Text option to create free-text messages with three on-screen
keyboards (see the Using the Keyboards section). If a canned message is
previously selected, then the entered free-text is appended to the canned
message.
8. Send the message or save as a draft.
a. If Send is selected, a Success screen appears to indicate that the message has
been added to the Outbox. Hold the SHOUT ts with the antennas having full view
of the sky if using the Iridium link.
i. If the Inc GPS option is turned on, then GPS location will be added to the
message. Messages with GPS location takes longer to complete because the
SHOUT ts has to acquire a GPS fix.

Contacts is an address book with a list of contacts created and saved into the SHOUT ts’
memory using NAL Research’s SatTerm software. During setup, SatTerm requires
connectivity between the SHOUT ts and a NOC server to synchronize the lookup table of
short codes. As with canned messages, short codes are used to map real addresses to a
lookup table located at a NOC.
Each contact is stored in a five-line format. The first line can have up to 30 characters, the
second can have 30 characters, the third can have 50 characters, the fourth can have 30
characters, and the fifth can have 30 characters. The information contained in each line is
defined by developers and not by the SHOUT ts.
Figure 15 below displays an example of the formatted contact defined by the NAL
Research’s NOC server. The first line has the contact name, the second line has the group
name, the third line has the email address, the fourth line has the phone number, and the
fifth line has the home address.
