6.18 Configure > VDL status/reboot
The R60 can be set up to send out status information about itself to a specific MMSI.
When this mode is activated, the R60 will regularly transmit a status message to the
selected target MMSI.
The R60 can also be setup to allow VDL reboot. For a VDL reboot command to be valid
it must be received from the same target MMSI as used in the status transmissions and
the correct password is required. To generate a VDL reboot a specific algorithm not
covered by this document must be used.
Configure R60 status transmissions and VDL reboot using the settings in the VDL
Status/Reboot category.
