The
Choose Canned Msg
option lists canned messages you can select to send to a NOC. Sending
canned messages saves bandwidth and airtime cost because it is only short codes that are
being transmitted instead of the entire message body. SatTerm is used to create and save
canned messages into the SHOUT nano’s memory. During setup SatTerm requires connectivity
between the SHOUT nano and a NOC server to synchronize the lookup table of short codes. As
with the Address Book, short codes are used to map the actual canned messages to a lookup
table located at a NOC. The short codes are defined by application developers and not by the
SHOUT nano.
