Satellite Repeater Axonn STX-2 Status Screen
Screen five shows information about the Axonn® STX-2 Globalstar® Satellite
Transmitter module.
1. Electronic Serial Number.
2. Software Version.
3. Current RF Channel (A,B,C or D). This will be determined by the
current location of the Satellite Repeater. The Satellite Repeater is
intended for operation in North America only. For most locations, the
Channel used will be “A”. If the Satellite Repeater is installed in a
location that is within 100 miles of a known Radio Astronomy Site, the
channel will be “C”.
4. Total packets waiting for transmission. Since the transmission of a
single satellite packet may take up to 30 minutes, it is possible that
scheduled satellite transmissions and alarm events will transpire that
will have to be “Cued” for transmission when the current transmission
is complete. This indicates the total number of transmissions waiting to
be transmitted to the Globalstar® network.
5. Pending Transmissions for Current Packet. This shows the remaining
satellite transmissions for the whole packet that is currently being sent.
Each native packet sent to the Globalstar® network has 9 bytes of
payload. Each of these native packets is sent to the Globalstar network
3 times. A typical Wesroc® packet is 36 bytes. This means that the
STX-2 will transmit 12 times in order to complete the transmission of
one Wesroc® packet.
6. Packet Repetitions. (Always 3).
7. Packet Repetition Minimum Interval in Seconds (Always 300).
8. Packet Repetition Maximum Interval in Seconds (Always 600).
Pressing the down button again cycles back to the first screen and starts over.
