If the unit is configured to have a static IP address, then the user must know what the characteristics of the network are that the unit will be connected to. In DHCP client mode, the unit will broadcast a request for an IP address from a properly configured DHCP server on the network.
Software Operations Section 4 The system is capable of storing its log files persistently on a periodic basis so that post mortem analysis can take place. The log files will be placed in the “/log” directory on the compact flash. The service personnel can then use off the shelf applications to extract the information to their laptop for review. This set of menus allows the user to define aspects of the log files such as rotation period, size and number of logs retained.
Software Operations Section 4 The GPS sub-system is an integral part of the control of the DSP based system. During normal operating mode, the GPS receiver controls the selection of filters and the key state of the unit. The unit must first receive a valid GPS string from the satellites before the unit will perform properly. The following menu allows the user to examine and configure the GPS operating parameters of the unit. The GPS mode menu controls the operational state of the GPS receiver.
Software Operations Section 4 The scan receiver hardware is used to monitor the power levels of a set of frequencies for a given filter set. If the scanned power level is above the maximum threshold value, the task will de-key the unit until such a condition no longer exists. This set of menus allows the user to define behavior of the scan receiver. With each selection the minimum and maximum allowable value as well as the current value is displayed.
