Outgoing Failed Messages

This is total number of messages that could not to be delivered to this transponder. This field is yellow if there are any failed messages. Outgoing failed messages cause the central console to display an alert message that communications have failed.

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, there is a low battery and a tamper condition being reported for this transponder. This window also displays the restoration to a normal condition when it occurs. When the fault is corrected, clicking the Acknowledge button eliminates any Restoration Reports. Conditions, which were not rectified, remain in the window.
