Figure 55 Easytrack Communications Status

If issues with communications are noted, the information in this dialog should be sent to Mobiltex for analysis.
After power-up, it may take up to 5 minutes for the satellite transceiver to lock onto the configured satellite. In the status
screen, the "Synchronization" and "Logged In" fields should show "Yes" if the transceiver is locked onto the satellite.
The "Signal Strength" field should also show a value greater than 2 for optimal communications.
The "Current satellite view angles" field can be used to aim the Easytrack transceiver at the currently selected satellite.
The RMU5 GPS receiver must have at least position lock for this function to work. Using the azimuth value (referenced
to true North) and a compass (compensated for local declination), move the Easytrack bracket until the Easytrack has a
clear view pointing at the indicated azimuth direction.
The "Alternative satellites view angles" field will show other satellites that are available at the current installation site.
The RMU5 GPS receiver must have at least position lock for this function to work. If an alternative satellite is shown
with a higher elevation angle than the currently selected satellite, considering selecting the alternate satellite in the
configuration. If the selected satellite is changed in the parameters, re-orient the Easytrack transceiver, write the
parameters to the RMU5, then check the satellite status again (taking into account the potential 5 minute lock time for
the transceiver).
The "Test Transmission" button allows a test message to be sent to the host system. The RMU5 will automatically send
a message to the host at power-up. This test transmission should only be used if there are communications issues
suspected some time (i.e. days) after installation has occurred.
