once when booting. If the ACU has not received the
information for some reason, the system cannot point. In
that case the modem will automatically boot after 5
minutes and send the satellite information again.
The signal strength from the modem is measured on RS-232
pin 9. It is a DC voltage in the range of 0 - 5 VDC.
