SCOTTY DA-42 MPP Rack
The status of the four channels is shown in the section Channels :
The column Status displays the current status of each channel, like “orr”
(registration in progress), “no call” (channel is idle), “data” (data call), or “no
dial” (channel is not available).
The current signal level is displayed in the column C/No . The signal level
should be greater that 48 dB/Hz for stable calls.
The temperature of the channel card hardware is shown under Temp .
During a call, Frequency displays the uplink frequency.
The line after each channel’s information columns shows detailed call status
information for the channel, like call type details, call direction (mobile or
fixed), error text when a connection is terminated, and status information
during the registration process.
Start Capture captures the raw data status data received from the SATCOM
transceiver, e.g. for diagnostic purposes.
The Open Terminal button opens a second window, which enables direct
access to the SATCOM transceiver’s maintenance port. Setup and advanced
diagnostics are possible by using the terminal window.
Please refer to the SATCOM transceiver manual “MN-1252-30089 EMS HSD-
400 High-speed Data Terminal” for a description of the menu system,
especially chapter “Test and Fault Isolation”.
