LED Definition Function
RX Receive LED usually is not lit. However, it will occasionally flash indicating a data packet is
being sent from the internal or external radio modem to the Base Station GPS
Receiver.
TX Transmit Blinks as data is transmitted from the Base Station GPS Receiver to the internal or
external radio modem. This can also be steady/green if the data flow is continuous.
NSV Number of GPS Satellites Blinks the number (1-12) of GPS satellites being tracked, then pauses before counting
them again.
SR Service Receive Reserved for diagnostics. LED remains off.
ST Service Transmit This LED is used for diagnostics.
• Immediately after the Base Station is power up, LED will flash the radio channel
programmed for the 900 MHz radio modem. LED will flash rapidly the same
count as the 1st digit of the channel. A long pause indicates the count is going to
move to the 2nd digit. The process repeats for the second and third digits. (A zero
is indicated by ten rapid flashes.)
Example: Six rapid flashes, long pause, ten rapid flashes, long pause and then seven
rapid flashes indicates the Freewave is set to channel 607.
• The ST LED will flash once per second while the Base Station is surveying its
position and then turn on solid after it has calculated its actual position.
BOK Base Unit is OK/active LED turns on solid when the Base Station determines it has enough voltage to operate
and that the power up procedure was successful and did not have any faults.
PPS Pulse Per Second LED will flash once per second after the Base Station is tracking at least four GPS
satellites and is able to calculate its position.
PWR Power LED turns on solid when the Base Station has power.
