6 System Specifications
6.1 Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is intended only for on-ground configuration.
Wi-Fi is only enabled
in standby (STBY) mode
and disabled when in ALT or ON mode.
To restore Wi-Fi functionality after flight, the device must be set back to
STBY mode.
6.2 Call Sign
Your call sign may be adjusted on the ground using the skyBeacon Installer
app, or at any time by use of an appropriately featured control head. This
allows your call sign to be configured to correspond with ATC
communications and flight plans, for use during commercial, medical, or
volunteer flight operations. When changing the call sign using skyBeacon
Installer smartphone app, ensure no other installation parameters are
adjusted. For typical operations, the call sign should be set to the entire
aircraft registration text. For example, U.S. registered aircraft must include
the leading “N”.
6.3 Suppression Input
The external suppression input can be connected to the suppression output
of other L-band equipment, such as DME. Driven high, tailBeaconX will
suppress transmissions. The suppression input must be driven to an input
voltage of at least 10 VDC.
The input must be connected to ground
when not in use.
Note: See Appendix B for external suppression unit connections
