2. Set polling interval
The polling interval is the interval at which the Fax Adapter will check the Beam device to see if there
are any new faxes waiting to be received from the Iridium Fax Server.
Note that if you are in a voice / data call when the device is due to poll for new messages that the call
will not be interrupted and will wait until the next polling interval after the call is terminated to check
for new messages.
The polling interval can be set to what is most convenient for your scenario, however it is
recommended that it be set to at least 5 minutes to allow time in between polls to send / receive calls.
Recommended polling interval is 10 minutes.
The polling time is set in “Tens of seconds”. Therefore a value of 1 would equal a 10 second polling
interval and a value of 6 would equal a 60 second (1 minute) polling interval.
At the command prompt in Hyperterminal type in AT and hit ENTER. The Fax Adapter should
respond with “OK”.
Type in AT\Uxy (where xy is the polling value in tens of seconds as described above)
For example, to set the polling interval to 10 minutes, you would type in AT\U60.
To verify the stored polling interval in the Fax Adapter, at the command prompt, type in AT\S and hit
ENTER. The “SMS TIME” value listed in the output will display the currently set value.
