auto-registration when it determines that the ISU has moved sufficiently far away from its last registered
location. Note that auto-registration runs only while the ISU is attached to the GSS, i.e. the registration
status is “Not registered” or “Registered”.
Auto-registration may only be used with system-provided location. If the FA is providing its own location
(e.g. GPS), the FA should use the manual registration command, +SBDREG.
Upon triggering in mode 1, “Automatic”, the ISU autonomously initiates an SBD session in order to
perform a registration with the updated location of the ISU. This session does not transfer any MO or MT
messages.
Upon triggering in mode 2, “Ask”, the ISU reports to the FA that it should register with the system because
the ISU location has changed (see <event> below); it is then the responsibility of the FA to register via
+SBDREG or +SBDIX. +SBDIX allows the FA to register while including an MO message and/or
retrieving any MT message that is pending at the GSS.
When auto-registration is enabled, mode 1 or 2, the ISU reports relevant events to the FA by issuing an
unsolicited result code +AREG:<event>,<reg error>.
<event>:
0 Suggest FA makes a registration attempt (mode 2 only).
1 Auto-registration has been performed successfully (mode 1 only).
2 Auto-registration has failed and will be retried after a delay (mode 1 only).
