Hermes Manual 1.0.1
Testing the Hermes
1.
Once the Hermes firmware has been updated, please test its ability to transmit.
2.
Make sure the Hermes has an active Iridium account. Xeos can setup an account for you
if you do not currently have one. Ensure you have access to one of the email addresses
to which messages are sent.
3.
Place the Hermes outside in a location where it has a clear view of the sky and connect
it to an external power source.
4.
Check the email account to see if a transmission has been received. If no message is
received within 20 minutes, please check operating manual to ensure it is setup as
required.
5.
If no message is received, please contact Xeos for assistance in troubleshooting.
6.
DO NOT redeploy the Hermes until you have confirmed Iridium transmission.
Shutdown
The last page of the Hermes screen will prompt the user to shut down the device. If this is not
desired, the
NEXT
button will cycle back to the first page.
If the Hermes is to be shut off, the OFF option will be used. A second confirmation page will be
displayed to ensure the choice to turn off is intentional, with
YES
being on the opposite button.
