1 Introduction
The service tool for the S6000 radio series MF/HF devices is made available by a built-in
web server in the radio. The service tool can be accessed from a computer connected to a
LAN shared with the device and is displayed in an internet browser with no additional
installation of software required. Currently we do not guarantee full support for
Microsoft Internet Explorer, but most HTML5 enabled browsers are supported.
Screenshots in this manual were done using Google Chrome.
1.1 Precautions using the service tool
WARNING:
While using the service tool the network cable should not be removed
or disconnected from neither the PC nor the radio.
WARNING:
While using the service tool, power to the radio should not be switched off.
Violation of the precautions above can result in a defect radio, which only
can be repaired by the manufacturer.
WARNING:
The Service agent is responsible for all changes made with the service tool.
Changes must be in conformance with radio specifications and regulations.
2 Connecting to the service tool
2.1 Connecting to the service without a network
The service tool for the radio can be accessed directly without use of a network, by use of
a PC with automatic network configuration and an internet browser. Connect the radio
to the computer using the Ethernet interface and type the IP address of the radio in the
address field of an internet browser to access the service tool. This will open the radio
status page of the service tool and the radio can now be configured. The radio’s current
IP address is visible in the SYSTEM SETUP menu on the radio control unit or in the
radio’s entry in the TMA tool as seen in Figure 1 below.
2.2 Connecting to the service tool through a network
The service tool can be accessed through a LAN from a PC with an internet browser.
Type the IP address of the radio in the address field of an internet browser to access the
service tool. This will open the radio status page of the service tool and the radio can now
be configured. The radio’s current IP address is visible in the SYSTEM SETUP menu on
the radio control unit or in the radio’s entry in the TMA tool as seen in Figure 1 below.

3 Overview of functionality
The service tool is used to perform updates to the firmware and various settings of the
radio. This section describes each feature of the service tool in turn. The tool will show
information about firmware, status of the radio and data from the logs for all users
without administrator rights, covered in section 3.1. For administrators the service tool
provides functionality for configuration of radio settings and tools for administration of
firmware, covered in section 3.2.
3.1 Open access functionality
The open access information of the service tool is divided into three tab pages, described
in the following three subsections.
3.1.1 STATUS
The STATUS tab page can be seen below in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Status tab.
The status tab is used to show the current platform and hardware configuration of the
radio. The field Hardware tracking ID is used in service of the transceiver unit.
97-147768-A
SAILOR 6300B MF/HF Service Interface User Manual
If the main board of the radio is replaced, a new serial number can be applied in the
Current serial field. When no serial number is programmed, the ‘current serial’ field will
display a 10-digit tracking number. This means that it is possible to input the serial
number of the system .
Note: updating the serial number can only performed one time and that updating the
field requires logging in (described in section 3.2).

3.1.2 LOGS
The LOGS tab can be seen in Figure 3 below.
Figure 3: LOGS tab.
This tab includes four side-bar buttons, where each displays the respective logs over
Received Distress Calls, Received DSC Calls, Transmitted DSC Calls and one button for
the System Log. Each log can be downloaded as a .tar.gz file.
3.1.3 NMEA
The NMEA tab pane displays a stream of NMEA data collected over SERIAL and/or LAN.
The data can be downloaded as a compressed file of the format .tar.gz and will contain
more lines than displayed on the screen. See example printout in Figure 4 below.
Figure 4: NMEA tab.
Note: Several tools are capable of unpacking tar.gz files, including 7zip, Winrar,
Winzip, etc.

3.2.2 CONFIG
The CONFIG tab contains two side-bar buttons and each are described in turn:
Figure 9: CONFIG tab – Configuration side-bar page.
Configuration
Description
MMSI
Enter or change the MMSI number of the radio.
Call ID or MMSI
This is the 5-digit Telex call id. If there is no 5-digit call id
allocated you can use the 9-digit MMSI or leave the field empty.
Abbreviated ID
This is used for Telex identification and is part of the answer
back string. The abbreviated ID is usually 4 ASCII letters, e.g.
‘abcd’.
Slave delay
This is the slave delay used during Telex ARQ calls. Default value
is 10.
ATU available?
Deselect this tag if the system does not have an ATU (Antenna
Tuning Unit) connected. The option is used for dedicated
antenna on specific frequency or dummy load.
Note: Wrong selection may damage the ATU.
PSU Monitor enabled
If the radio’s power supply is a SAILOR 6081 you can enable the
Power Supply Monitor in the radio.
Primary station
Select this tag if you want this radio to have priority over a
duplicate MF/HF installation.
12
97-147768-A
SAILOR 6300B MF/HF Service Interface User Manual
The MMSI, Call-id and abbreviated ID are used to construct the telex answer back string.
The rule for creating a valid answerback string is:
•
Figure shift
•
Carriage return
•
Line feed
•
9-digit MMSI (or 5-digit call ID)
•
Letter shift
•
Space
•
Abbreviated ID
•
Space
•
•
Letter shifts to bring the total length up to 20 characters
The service tool will automatically add the figure shifts, letter shifts, spaces and the letter
‘x’ where appropriate. It is strongly recommended to check the telex settings on the
SAILOR 6006 Message Terminal (Telex) when the settings above have been modified
and the radio has been power cycled.

*) As for telex, the user must enter the code delivered with the system to enable D6. The
field D6 option in Figure 10 above depicts how the field appears when the activation code
has already been entered to the field. Before deselecting options, the service tool issues
a warning (see Figure 10, D6 option for example).
AUX Pin Settings:
Frequency [Hz]
Select the frequency for which the AUX pin is active.
Mode
Choose between Off, Squelch open (as in Figure 10) or On
Channel.

Figure 11: CONFIG tab – Watch Keeping Receiver side-bar button.
On the Watch Keeping Receiver page it is possible to program 6 DSC frequencies into
the watch receiver or disable frequencies. These custom frequencies will also be available
for routine DSC transmissions. If the programmed frequencies are required for a custom
distress network (for distress, safety and urgency calls), the following option key is
required: ABCD-1234-COBH-2014
WARNING: changing these frequencies WILL alter the ability to send and receive
distress to/from established GMDSS coast stations. Non-default programming of the
2MHz frequency also needs the special options key as this will void MF-DSC capability.
WARNING: HF DSC functionality requires watch receiver option, enabled scanning on at
least 2MHz band, 8MHz band and at least one other band.
Click Submit when desired configuration has been reached.
