Furthermore, in the ''Features TAB'' in ''Short burst data settings'', ''TSM232 and Iridium Edge'' must be enabled. ''Power control DOUT'' configures DOUT pin which can control Iridium Edge ON/OFF pin. Configure if DOUT pin is connected. Respective power control DOUT to which Iridium device's ''PIN6'' is connect must be selected.

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.
+
''Save/Send period'' configures how long will FMB device wait after losing the signal to generate SBD packet. If the signal is not recovered, it will send it indefinitely (or till the SBD Upload limit is reached, if such is set).
    +
''SBD Upload Limit'' is configurable and resets every month. This option can ensure that no additional data is used so that no unexpected costs are experienced by the customer. Default value is 8000 (for 8KB plan). This option can be disabled by setting Upload limit to 0.

''SBD IO source'' configures IO source which can trigger SBD record saving. 9 elements can generate Alarm for SDB sending. These elements are:
In the scenario shown in the above picture when a panic record is made (generated by Digital Input 1 or Digital Input 2) internal 90 seconds timer will start to tick and if that timeout device will not send a record through the GPRS network it will be sent with Iridium satellites. 9 elements can generate Alarm priority records in the current (00.02.05) firmware version. These elements are:
   
* Digital input 1
 
* Digital input 1
 
* Digital input 2
 
* Digital input 2

Record which will be sent through the Iridium satellite network will be different than the regular record. It will contain 4 bytes timestamp, 3 bytes longitude, 3 bytes latitude, 1 byte record generation info, 1 byte DIN, DOUT info, 1 byte speed value.
