Furthermore, in the Features TAB in Short burst data settings, TSM232 and Iridium Edge must be enabled. Also respective power control DOUT to which Iridium device's PIN6 is connect must be selected.

In order to get SBD records, you have to connect the device to FMX640 COM1 or COM2 port. Select COM1 or COM2 mode Satellite backup mode. Those settings could be found in RS232/RS485 TAB in the configurator. The Baud rate for satellite devices is 19200 bps. Furthermore, [[TSM232]] functionality should be enabled. These settings can be found in the Features TAB in Short burst data settings. See the picture below.

You should also configure periodic Alarm record save. If the timeout is set to 0, no periodic records are going to be made. It is not recommended to save records often because of satellite traffic prices. 8 kilobytes data limit counter is set which is reset every month. In addition, you can select which IO element can generate the Alarm priority record. The configurable IO parameters are shown as SBD IO sources in the picture below. In order to do that you need to configure these IO elements as a Panic priority. If properly configured SBD records are generated and sent if there is no GSM connection.
