Status Line
The Status Line is the last line (line 24) displayed on the VT100 monitor for all windows. The fields
on the status line are: the Operational state, SYNC, DSP Mode, Current DH frequency and Signal
to Noise Ratio (SNR). Data on the Status Line is updated in real time and provides important
information on the Wireless Matrix Modem’s state.
NOTE:
References to MET or MT are synonymous with the Wireless Matrix Modem.
Table 1 describes the fields for the Status Line.
Table 1. Descriptions for Status Line fields
Function Description
Operational state The Wireless Matrix Modem has a number of possible
states. Valid messages for this field are: “Operational”,
“SASK Invalid”, “MUI Invalid”, “Channel Search”, “BB
Invalid”, “Logon Pending”, “MET Deactivated”, “Ready for
Commissioning” and “Fade”. Unless this field displays
“Operational”, there will be no communications sent or
received. Refer to the section “Operational States” in this
guide.
SYNC state The Wireless Matrix Modem may be in SYNC or in the NO
SYNC state with relation to the Data Hub (DH) frequency.
If the Sync state is SYNC then the Wireless Matrix Modem
is receiving the Data Hub signal. When in SYNC the
SYNC/TX LED will be lit green. If the Sync state is NO
SYNC the SYNC/TX LED will be turned off, and the
Wireless Matrix Modem will be constantly searching for the
Data Hub signal on all known DH frequencies. The Sync
state will also be NO SYNC if the Wireless Matrix Modem is
missing the Initial DH frequency. Valid messages for this
field are: “SYNC”, “NO SYNC”, “PILOT SEARCH” or
“CHANNEL SEARCH”. Unless this field displays “SYNC”,
no messages will be sent or received.
DSP Mode Display of the current Digital Signal Processor (DSP) mode
should read NORMAL after a successful power up.
Current DH frequency Display of the current DH frequency.
