3.4.6Position Reporting (optional)

Position Reporting is a system which collects system variables and transmits them over the Iridium® satellite at a given interval through the GSR 56.

3.4.6.1Status

The Status window shows the time until the next data transmission and the status of the reporting system.

NOTE: The GSR 56 does not report its serial number until 90 seconds after power up of the GDU. As a result, for that period, the product info for the GSR 56 will show "Waiting."
