2) MultiLink Enabled - If both Broadcast Datalink and 2-Way
Datalink are installed, check this box to enable the MultiLink
system.
If Broadcast Datalink is not installed, this setting is labeled
Narrowcast Enabled . Check this box to enable 2-Way Datalink.
If this box is not checked, subsequent flights will not be shown on
your account page at www.MyAvidyne.com .
3) Coverage Area - Specifies the type of coverage being
requested: (Also see Optimizing MultiLink for ORBCOMM
(Release 4.0 and earlier) on page 116)
■
Current Position - Requests weather information within the
specified Coverage Radius of the aircraft position, regardless
of flight plan.
■
Flight Plan - Requests weather information for a corridor
along the entire current flight plan, with the specified
Coverage Radius to either side of the flight plan route. The
boundary of the datalink radar coverage area is shown by an
outline with diagonal stripes.
4) Coverage Radius (NM) - Select 50, 100, 200, 300 or 400
nautical mile radius around the aircraft or flightplan as the display
area for depicting weather. Also see
Optimizing MultiLink for
ORBCOMM (Release 4.0 and earlier) on page 116.
5) Datalink Radar Resolution - Select High, Medium, or Low
Datalink Radar resolution. The “Low” setting uses the least
message units and most likely will provide the fastest updates.
Increasing this setting provides improved Datalink Radar details,
but, in turn, increasing the message units can decrease the
actual update rate.
Note: If the Broadcast Datalink is unavailable, weather data is received
by 2-Way Datalink. For Broadcast Datalink, the Trip page indicates the
time since the last data was received (“time since reception”). There is a
time delay between the creation and reception of weather data.
