Initial Pos - Initial Position Entry
This screen is provided to help the GPS receiver in the smart antenna to get a faster
first position fix. While the smart antenna is capable of computing its position without
any user input, this feature can cause a position fix to occur several minutes earlier.
Another time this feature is useful is when the MX51x has been moved over 300 miles
from the last location it was used while in the off condition. Again, the MX51x will
calculate a position fix without any user input in this circumstance. However, moving the
MX51x to a new location and not inputting a new initial position will cause the receiver
to select a satellite constellation consistent with the last known receiver coordinates.
In this event the MX51x may “get lucky” and find common satellites between the old
position and the new location, or it may take up to 20 minutes to go through all of the
constellation possibilities. Note that the MX51x will stay on the original constellation for
15 minutes before attempting other constellation possibilities. We assume the MX51x will
be turned on and off in the same general area each time, and we provide the unit every
opportunity to try and track satellites at the last known coordinates.
LAN - Local Area Network
This feature allows the MX51x to communicate with another MX51x via LAN interface
(RJ45). This data link is used by the MX51x for dual control, integrity monitoring, and
multiple control applications. Below are IP addresses used by the Host and Client units
within its local network.
Type IP Address
Host 192.168.100.250
Clients (See below)
Number 1 192.168.100.251
Number 2 192.168.100.252
Number 3 192.168.100.253
Number 4 192.168.100.254
MX 510 IP Address Table
To activate LAN, press the EDIT key and press the ENT key to activate the Change
softkey to change LAN Enabled to Yes. Use the Change softkey to modify the options
described below:
Type - select between Host or Client. In a dual or multiple unit control system, the
Master will be the Host and the Slave(s) will be the Client(s).
Number - this option is only available when Type is Client. The available values are 1,
2, 3, or 4 (which determines the IP address of the CDU). Each Client has to be
assigned with a unique number (1, 2, 3, or 4). Any two or more Clients with the
same number will create an IP address conflict, and therefore, will activate an IP
Conflict Alarm. Please refer to the previous IP address table for the designated IP
numbers.
When the connection is successful, the Status will display ESTABLISHED.
