SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, INSTALLATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Symbol
* (Asterisk)
Pushing the LS key adjacent to this symbol (when it appears) causes an
action of some kind to occur (e.g., making a phone call, sorting a phone
list, or initiating log-off).
[ ] (Brackets)
Empty brackets prompt the user for data entry into the field. However, data
entry is not mandatory. Brackets surrounding data indicate the data is
unprotected and can be modified or deleted. Not all fields modifiable are
surrounded by brackets. When brackets are used to enclose existing data,
as opposed to prompting entry of data into an empty field, they are
intended as an indication the data is unprotected (i.e., an unprotected
phone number). Conversely, protected phone numbers do not have
brackets, indicating the phone number cannot be modified or deleted.
< , > (Carets)
A caret adjacent to an LS key indicates if the key is pushed the display
changes to a new page. The new page is either the one indicated next to
the caret or, in case of RETURN>, the higher level page.
<SEL>
Indicates the data in the field is currently selected (e.g., the selected GES
or antenna).
(g) Updates
1
Dynamically generated display fields, whose contents have changed, are
updated by the SDU both periodically (at a rate of at least 1 Hz), and upon
completion of an LS key action that could have caused the display or the
display field to change. With multiple SCDU configurations, the SDU only
maintains one version of each page for display. The SDU responds to LS
key actuations from all SCDUs in a serial fashion and updates the display
page(s). Each SCDU scratchpad and the channel selection fields are
independent from all others, allowing each user to perform independent
actions.
C. SCDU Page Hierarchy
(1) The SCDU page hierarchy is shown in Figure 6-2. The SATCOM MAIN MENU page
is accessed by pushing the LS key adjacent to <SAT for single SDU installations.
Highlighted blocks in Figure 6-2 represent maintenance pages that are discussed in
detail in paragraph D. Refer to the appropriate MCS SATCOM System Guide for
additional non highlighted SATCOM displays.
D. SCDU Pages
(1) SATCOM MAIN MENU Page
(a) Access to this page is from the MCDU MAIN MENU page. The purpose of this
page is to display call status information, to optionally make, answer, and
terminate calls, and to supply access to lower level pages. See Figure 6-3 for
example pages.
