l Rugged construction to support applications in the harshest environments
l Supports SP-developed application scripts with Lua Service Framework, enabling SPs to introduce an
extremely high level of customization
l Supports ORBCOMM out-of-the-box Agents that provide proven sophisticated applications with configurability,
allowing reduced time to market for SPs
1.3 Operational States
The terminal has several operational states.
Table 2: Operational States
Operational States Description
Transmit In transmit mode the terminal is transmitting a signal to the satellite.
Receive In receive mode the terminal is attempting or actively listening to the satellite.
Processing In its processing mode the Lua services are actively running. For example, a wake-up to monitor
a geofence.
Sleep There are two parts to this state in a terminal. The modem turns itself off between wake-up
intervals. Both the terminal and gateway track the wake-up interval. Consequently, when a
terminal is in sleep it does not miss incoming messages. If a modem has a message to send, it
automatically exits sleep state without waiting for the next wake-up interval. The other part of this
state is when the terminal is set to Power Save, which is enabled by default. In power save, the
terminal’s controller draws minimal current. It monitors its external inputs (digital and serial) for
activity, and reacts as required by transitioning to processing state with no loss of information
such as incoming serial characters.
Idle With IsatData Pro, a modem receives messages in one of the 10 half second subframes. In Idle
state the modem turns off its receiver waiting for its next assigned subframe. The modem
automatically enters Idle state on its own, independent of the application. If Power Save is
disabled and the terminal is not receiving or transmitting or processing, it is in the Idle state.
1.3.1 Application Peripherals
These peripherals are either on or off. Power consumption is affected when they are powered on.
