GUMBALL STATUS INDICATORS
Gumball Status Indicators: The gumball status indicators (total of 4) show the current state of all
externally-connected devices. Status is displayed using a communications antenna gumball for signal strength
and three separate device gumballs using letters and color for device condition.
Joint Capabilities Release (JCR) Gateway Status Indicator: The JCR Gateway gumball status indicator is the
first status gumball located at the far left of the OPS screen marquee. It provides system status for JCR Gateway
connections and is depicted by a communications antenna.
• JCR Gateway Status: The JCR vehicle software has a JCR Gateway Server application that allows VDX data
to be exchanged with other users. The JCR Gateway Server application provides the capability for the JCR
vehicle to serve as a gateway to other users and as a client to another gateway. To register with another
gateway server, the user will enter and send login information to that gateway.
• JCR Gateway:Represented by the signal strength gumball and automatically detects BIT stream rate between
the transceiver and the satellite. Full signal strength of 4 bars is shown if transceiver is in a bound state.
1.1-7
The Local Comm gumball for your system is located at the top of the Ops screen on the left of the marquee to the
left of the GPS status indicator as shown in Figure 4. The button color is either Red (No Go), Amber (Degraded),
Green (Go), or White (Not Tested). Selecting the Local Comm gumball opens the status window, which helps the
operator determine the Satellite Communication (SATCOM) status.
The SATCOM status for your system is indicated on the marquee at the top of the Ops screen.
• Local Comm: GO (GREEN indication). Under normal operations, the green status indicator indicates satellite
communications has been established.
• Local Comm: DEGRADED (AMBER indication). A amber status indicator indicates satellite communications
have been lost with the satellite - transceiver not in lock. The operator must move the platform.
• Local Comm: NO GO (RED indication): After second and third attempts to find hardware, a red status indicator
may appear, indicating it is unable to establish communication with the satellite. The operator should check
power, check cables, and restart to BCOPS.
The GPS status for your system is located at the top of the Ops screen on the left of the marquee to the right of
the COMMS status indicator as shown in Figure 4.
• GPS: GO (GREEN indication). The green status indicator indicates communication is established with GPS
satellites.
• GPS: DEGRADED (AMBER indication). A amber status indicator indicates status check (TIME, HEADING,
and POSITION). It also means lost communications with GPS, and that operator should check GPS settings
and verify satellite and the Line Of Site (LOS) when the MT2012 Transceiver is unobstructed.
• GPS: NO GO (RED indication). After second and third attempt to find hardware, a red status indicator may
appear, indicating it is unable to establish communication with GPS. The operator should check power, check
cables, and restart to BCOPS.
When your platform is configured as one the MTS-ES products, and an MT2012 Transceiver device is externally
connected to the system, the third status gumball allows you to display the MT-2012 RFID Interrogator device
status, as shown in Figure 4.
• Detection: GO (GREEN indication). The green status indicator indicates a MT-2012 device has been detected.
• Detection: NO GO (RED indication). The red status indicator indicates a MT-2012 device has not been
detected/not responded for 2 minutes.
• On/Off: GO (GREEN indication). The green status indicator indicates RFID Enabled.
• On/Off: NO GO (RED indication). The red status indicator indicates RFID Disabled.
• Read: GO (GREEN indication). The green status indicator indicates results successfully received / read
command not issued.
• Read: NO GO (RED indication). The red status indicator indicates no results received within the time-out
period.
1.1-8
TRANSCEIVER LED INDICATORS
Three status LEDs are located on the outside of the transceiver as shown in Figure 5 and indicate the operating
condition of the Satellite Transceiver. The following is a description of the LED indicators and their meaning:
1. Red LED illuminates briefly at power up. The only other time the Red LED illuminates is during data trans-
mission. If the Red LED stays illuminated, contact field maintenance. If the Red and Amber LEDs are
blinking alternately or off, contact Field Signal Maintenance.
2. Green LED illuminates and then begins blinking. Constant blinking means the receiver is not in lock. When
the Green LED is on steady, the receiver is in lock.
3. Amber LED on indicates the Satellite Transceiver has a good data connection with the FBCB2 system. It will
blink intermittently when data is being transmitted. If it remains off, the Satellite Transceiver is not commu-
nicating with the BFT network. If the amber and red LEDs are flashing alternately, a failure has occurred in
the Satellite Transceiver.
