Emergency and Test Tracking Modes
Emergency Tracking can be triggered by the Emergency button or by Input S0. Test Tracking can be
triggered by Input S1. Emergency Tracking and Test Tracking operate similar to Normal Tracking in that they
have individually configurable reporting parameters. While in Emergency Tracking, the 9602-LP does not
respond to +++ escape sequence and at least one “report send attempt" must be completed before
transitioning back to Normal Tracking. The Emergency GPS reports have a special data bit activated to alert
the recipient of the message type. The 9602-LP allows GPS reports to be saved on its non-volatile memory
when an Iridium satellite is not available.
5.2 Encryption Setting
The 9602-LP can send GPS reports in AES 256-bit encrypted format. Figure 10 displays SatTerm
encryption setting window. The GUI allows the Crypto Officer Password to be changed, the encryption to be
enabled or disabled, and the encryption key or decryption key to be set or changed.
A factory-default Crypto Officer Password is initially set and saved into the 9602-LP. This default Password
must be changed before any encryption properties can be set or changed. To change the default Password,
click on the “Change” button to open the “Change Crypto Officer Password” window. Then complete the form.
The default Password should be displayed as the “Old Password”. When done, click on the “Send” button.
Once the default Password has been changed, the encryption and decryption keys will need to be set in
order to use encryption for the first time. In the “Change Encryption Settings” window, check “Use Encryption”
