Comtech EF Data ROSS - Manual (Page 38)

ROSS MN/13070
The View Service Area explained in the next section allows manual handoff selection and if
invoked will disable this automatic feature. After exercising manual handoffs from the service
area menu, this handoff mode control will require setting back to automatic if forced to manual
mode.
The handoff mode is set to automatic at boot-up to insure that at worst case if an operator was
performing maintenance procedures and forgot to return the setting back to normal condition, the
local attendant could restore automation by simply power cycling unit.
4.25.2 Stealth Mode
When Stealth mode is enabled, the vessel position is omitted from the periodic status message
(SUM/SLIP) sent to the managing VMS. The vessel position is still recorded in the ROSS’s
internal tracking log. Stealth mode is disabled by default.
4.25.3 Service Area
This menu provides a list of configured service areas that were configured using the ROSS
Configuration Editor. Each listed SA is assigned an ID displaying satellite orbital set position,
Transmit polarity and targeted carrier formation. The complete definition and configuration of
service areas are described in section 5.0, ROSS Configuration Editor.
