The following status information is provided:
• Service Area – Identifies the existing service area for this ROSS.
• Transmit Status – Indicates whether the transmit is Enabled or Disabled.
When the status is enabled, the ROSS is in a valid service area and the
communication poll status of the associated modem and the ACU are
successful. When the status is disabled, the modulator transmit carrier is
muted, regardless of any other controls.
• Last position – Identifies the latitude and longitude coordinates, in
decimal degrees, that were retrieved from the most recent ACU poll. If the
reported position is within a coordinated area, the coordinated area ID will
be displayed adjacent to the coordinates. ROSS polls the ACU for position
on a five second interval. This value is updated by the Refresh command.
