Function Description
BB Invalid
The Wireless Matrix Modem is in
SYNC
, it is continuously
receiving blocks of bulletin board (
BB
) information (internal
Wireless Matrix Modem parameters that define how the
Wireless Matrix Modem is to operate). One of the blocks of
data is received frequently (about once every second) and is
called the
Descriptor
. If the
Descriptor
is not received within
five minutes or illegal parameters are received, the Wireless
Matrix Modem will set the state to
BB Invalid
. While in this
state the Wireless Matrix Modem cannot transmit, but will
continue looking for bulletin board information. This condition
only occurs for a short time during installation, or when the
DH
signal is poor.
MET Deactivated
The
DH
has disabled the Wireless Matrix Modem for
transmitting illegally or failing various tests when logging on.
The unit needs to be reinitialized by the system provider.
Contact the
VAR
that provided the Wireless Matrix Modem to
have it reinitialized.
Logon Pending
The Wireless Matrix Modem is crossing satellite beams and
must logon to the
MDS
network. The process is automatic
and the Wireless Matrix Modem will only be in this state for an
instant. This only occurs when a user moves the unit to
another beam, as the beams are stationary.
