Soft Reset
This command causes the selected ROSS to perform a reinitialization of all
currently configured active settings.
Hard Reset
This command causes the ROSS to do a complete process reset. Performing a
hard reset is similar to power cycling the unit.
Configure
This item will open the Parameter Editor, allowing configuration changes to the
unit. Refer to subsection “Using Parameter Editor” on page 5-10.
Note: Many of the parameters interact with each other. Before making a
change to a parameter setting, carefully read the instructions and
observe any notes documenting parameter interaction.
Upgrade
This command is used to upload an application image file to upgrade the firm-
ware for the unit.
Save to Flash
This item will save all volatile configurations to the device’s flash memory.
Anytime an operator makes a change to communication and operating parame-
ters, it is necessary to save the changed information/configuration.
Note: Save to Flash saves information in the selected device, not in the VMS
database.
Force Registration
A ROSS is normally automatically registered on the network as part of the
initial setup process. If this process fails, this command will force a registration
attempt.
View Service Areas
This menu item provides a list of available service areas (figure 5-3) 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 entry that has an asterisk (*) in the ID is the detected service
area which is currently serving the roaming Remote.
