OPERATING THE TRANSCEIVER UPGRADING THE TRANSCEIVER VIA A USB STlCK NOTE: You will be prompted to enter a self address for each In“ network that has empty selfaddress. For an HF network that matches the name and call system of an HF network already programmed into the transceiver, you will be able to keep the existing self address. Ifyou want to read the profile from the transceiver to the USB stick, select Read Profile. Ifyou want to upgrade the transceiver with a firmware package on the USB stick, select Upgrade Firmware. If you want to upgrade the RMSO module with a RM50 firmware package on the USB stick, select Upgrade RMSO Firmware.

Please refer to Overview of digital voice options on page 59 and MlL/STANAG ZG Dam on page 84 for further information. CAUTION: A permit from the Australian government is required if you want to upgrade the RMSO module with an export controlled version firmware package, which enables AES-256 Encryption (Ind Low Rate DV capabilities. If you want to program secure keys to a transceiver that has an encryptor module enabled (and no frequency hopping enabled), select Program Secure Keys. 114 SENTRV-H "t TRANSCEIVER OPERATOR GUIDE OPERAIING THE TRANSCEIVER UPGRADING THE TRANSCEIVER vm A USB sncx CAUTION: lfyou have CBS and AES DV encryptors present, the keys for these must be programmed simultaneously. - Ifyou want to program frequency hopping plans to a transceiver that has frequency hopping capability enabled [and no encryptor module enabled), select Program Plans. - Ifyou want to program secure keys and frequency hopping plans to a transceiver that has both encryptor module and frequency hopping capability enabled, select Program Keys and Plans. :1 Do one ofthe following: - Press ‘ or v to scroll to the profile, RMSO firmware package, hopping plans, or secure key file, press ‘— (Options), scroll to Open, then press ‘— (Select). - Press A or v to scroll to the folder in which you want to save the profile from the transceiver, then press \__ (Save). : Press \— (Yes) to confirm that you want to complete the selected action. 3 Perform more tasks with the USB stick as required.

SEMth-Hm TRANSCEIVER DPERATOR GUIDE 115 OPERATING THE TRAN USING GPS PLOTTER SCEIVER Using GPS Plotter Overview of GPS Plotter Access to the GPS Plotter feature is available if you have the GPS Call option enabled in your transceivers The GPS Plotter feature allows a GPS position associated with certain user interface contexts to be output to particular serial port(s) in the system. When (I context is triggered [for example, selecting 1m entry in the call log that contains a GPS position), the position is output to all serial port[s) that are configured for the GPS Plotter functions The output will continue at (I periodic rate until the context cezises. The contexts where GPS Plotter behaviour is triggered are controlled by two settings, Output Local GPS and GPS Plotter Contexts. The GPS Plotter output is formatted in NMEA 0183 RMC fonnzIt. NOTE: For details about the Output Local GPS and GPS Plotter Contexts settings, please see the Reference Manual [Codzm part number 15-04188-EN Issue 1). NOTE: For infomIation on setting up (I GPS Plotter session, please see the Reference Manual (Codan part number 15-04188-EN Issue 1). NOTE: If configured, the GPS Plotteroutput can be accessed from all serial ports provided by the Sentry-II transceiver, including RFU GP port, VCOM ports and CICS over IP port. 116 SENTIw-Hw TRANSCEIVER OPERATOR GUIDE OPERAIING THE TRANSCEIVER USING VCOM SERVICES Using VCOM services VCOM is used to provide virtual COM ports for the following services: - 2.4kbps Data Modem - CICS - MIL/STANAG 2G Data - GPS Plotter (available in VCOM version 1.05 and later) Each ofthese services may be only be used one at a time by a client (i.e., they are operated on a “first-come, first-served“ basis), which may cause contention if multiple users try to use the same service. When attempting to use the 2.4kbps Data Modem or MIL/STANAG 26 Data service via VCOM and you find that the port is unresponsive: II Ensure that GP port is not configured to use these services. :I Ensure that any instances of VCOM that may be running on any connected PCs are not configured to use these services. CAUTION: On a PC, an application (e.g., RCSO-C) may noteven be running and yet the corresponding VCOM instance may be running in the background and consuming that service. To check which VCOM services are enabled on that PC, launch VCOM Configuration from Start > All Programs > Codan > VCOM, and disable any services that are not needed. :I Ensure that the service isn’t already being used by another control point, as indicated by the presence of ( G ) for the 2.4kbps Data Modem, or ( a) for MIL/STANAG ZG data, in the status bar. In this case you may need to wait until the other modem session has completed. When attempting to use the CICS or GPS Plotter service via VCOM and you find that the port is unresponsive, ensure that any instances ofVCOM that may be running on any connected PCs are not configured to use that same service.

The contents ofbasic and advanced views are pre-determined and cannot be changed. Basic view Basic view provides a condensed view ofthe user interface, and typically the view at which the control point is operated. When you power up the transceiver, the control point enters basic view. Basic view is indicated by the absence of an advanced view indicator in the menu bar. Figure 28: Basic view (no advanced view indicator) OK Close Basic view provides access to items that are likely to be changed on a regular basis, or the user may want to change to suit their preferences for the day-to-day operation of tlIe transceiver. The user can switch to advanced view to access items that they may want to change occasionally. The user should switch back to basic view to simplify the view ofinfomiation presented on the screen of the control point. Advanced view Advanced view provides access to additional settings that may need to be changed occasionally, but are not required in the day-to-day operation of the transceiver. Generally, the control point ofthe transceiver is in basic view so you must switch to advanced view.
