Outgoing Failed Messages

could not to be delivered to this
transponder. This field is yellow if
there are any failed messages. Outgoing

Stress Test
This checkbox causes the central
console to continually request maps
from the transponder. When in this
mode, the central console sends a new
map request as soon as it receives a
map from the transponder, rotating
through the map types. This test is
used when diagnosing communications
problems to create artificially high
traffic on the communication link
without interfering with the processing
of alarms and tests. The stress test
ceases when the checkbox is cleared, or
this screen is closed by clicking the
Cancel button.
Auto Scan
The auto scan function performs the
above stress test proceeding from one
transponder to the next after one of
each type of map is requested and
received. After the last map type and
before proceeding to the next
transponder, a command is issued to
refresh the transponder data so that
when an auto scan is proceeded through
all transponders, all transponder and
point troubles are updated. Auto scan
is terminated by removing the check in
the Auto Scan box or by closing the
screen using the Cancel button.
Current Troubles
This window displays all current
troubles for this transponder. In the
Current Transponder Status Screen,

condition being reported for this
transponder. This window also displays
the restoration to a normal condition

corrected, clicking the Acknowledge
button eliminates any Restoration
Reports. Conditions, which were not
rectified, remain in the window.
Not Responding Map
