When choosing this name, you should remember that the buttons are fixed in size and the
name needs to be easy to read even after it has wrapped to try and fit in the space provided.
Description
This parameter is a verbose description of the operational unit, its equipment, and
anything else you think is useful. The maximum length of this text entry is 250 characters
(including spaces). This field may be left empty.

This parameter is chosen from a drop-down list. The unit types available in a system are
defined in the Unit Type Definitions window. For more information on defining unit types,
see
ID
This parameter establishes a relationship between the unit defined in this window and a
column of indicator LEDs/buttons on the front of the Station Transponder Unit. How the
columns are numbered depends on the specific model of the Station Transponder Unit.
For a Model 6203, the first column on the left is reserved for the station itself. Column 1 is
the next column and column 3 is the column on the far right.
For a Model 6204, all four columns are available for use by units. Column 1 is the one on
the far left and column 4 is the column on the far right.
Unit Type Definitions
The last item on the menu of the FSA Maintenance Utility refers to “type” definitions.
This option opens a window from which you can define the labels given to various units to
describe their operational functions, or other characteristics.
Name
This is the name that the system uses internally for this unit type. The name can be from 1

any spaces; however, periods (.) and underscores ( _ ) are allowed. If a CAD interface is
used, this name label will be used in the CAD messages.
Display Name
This is the name that is by the FSA Console user interface when it needs to refer to this
unit type. The name can be from 1 to 30 characters in length and does support the use of
spaces.
