X-Over
In the event that a manual beam cross-over is necessary, you can initiate
it through this ADMIN Menu option.
Note that the list of beam options may be shorter, depending on those
available from the satellite.
1.
SELECT
X-OVER and the following beam regions are displayed:
• B0 – EAST
• B1 – EAST C
• B2 – WEST C
• B3 – WEST
• B4 – SOUTH
• B5 – A/H
2. Navigate the list with the up/down arrows and
SELECT
the desired beam.
3. You will then be asked to confirm the selection by a
Continue?
prompt.
Press
YES
to continue or press
NO
to cancel and return to the beam
region options.
Throughout the cross-over process, the beam to which the radio is
crossing-over flashes (e.g., X-OVER: B1- EAST). The
BEAM/SIGNAL
monitor is displayed throughout this process regardless of whether or not
it is active. The current beam is displayed, and then the selected beam
region is shown as the process is completed (i.e. B1 S99 to B0 S99). Once
the process is complete, the beam to which the radio has crossed-over is
displayed for three seconds. You will then be returned to the Idle display.
If you have selected a beam that is not accessible, “X-OVER FAILURE”
will be displayed for several seconds. You will then be returned to the
beam options list. Ensure that you have chosen the proper adjacent beam
before initiating a manual beam cross-over.
Note that the radio automatically performs a beam cross-over sequence
when required (e.g., traveling between beams).
Backlight
This option allows you to control the display’s backlight. Press
SELECT
to
go through the three different options for backlight display:
1.
EVENT
– The default configuration. The backlight is displayed for a
short time after any key other than PWR or PTT is pressed, and the
timer is restarted when any other key is pressed.
2.
CONSTANT
– The backlight is always ON.
3.
OFF
– The backlight is always OFF.
Software Version
Here you can view the software version for the transceiver unit, handset
and antenna unit.
Serial Port
This option allows you to set up three different serial port configurations.
1.
SELECT
the SERIAL PORT option from the ADMIN Menu.
2.
SELECT
one of the three options to turn it on. Only one option can be
activated at a time:
a. DATA IO
: This is the default. Data IO must be selected to enable
data connectivity for devices that subscribe to Dial-Up Data.
b. CROSSBAND
: When this option is
ON
, third-party cross-band
interfaces can access Dispatch Radio activity enabling MSAT
interconnectivity to standard Land Mobile Radio equipment.
c. GPS OUTPUT
: When this option is
ON
, GPS data received from
the Antenna Unit (AU) can be sent to an external device in NMEA
format. The GPS port speed is 4.8 kbps.
3.
For each configuration, once you SELECT it, you will be asked to
confirm the configuration. Press
YES
to confirm or
NO
to cancel.
4.
With confirmation or cancellation, you will be returned to the Serial
Port option Menu. Press
BACK
to go back to the ADMIN Menu.
