Satcom: Modal Delay
The satellite communications server supports seven radio modes, each with an indi-
vidual delay (in milliseconds). Radio communication through the satellite transpon-
der will be delayed by the amount of time specified for the corresponding mode.
Defaults are as follows:
Mode 1: 0 ms
Mode 2: 1000 ms
Mode 3: 9000 ms
Mode 4: 0 ms
Mode 5: 1000 ms
Mode 6: 3000 ms
Mode 7: 3000 ms
The Fixed Delay (Override) parameter will override all Modal Delays. These settings are not
required for proper Satcom server operation. The simulation host computer may reconfigure
or override these settings.
Satcom: Fixed Delay (Override)
This setting is the override retransmission delay (in milliseconds) for the Satcom
server. If configured with any non-zero number, the Fixed Delay will override indi-
vidually-configured Modal Delay values. Regardless of radios' modes, all Satcom
transmissions will be delayed by the amount of time specified here.
This setting is not required for proper Satcom server operation. The simulation host computer
may reconfigure or override this setting.
Satcom: Tx PDU Delay
This parameter allows the user to introduce delay (microseconds) in the sending of
transmit PDUs from the Satcom server.
If DACS systems are operating in “hot-mic” or “VOX” modes while using the Satcom server,
some minor audio clipping may occur. If this happens, the transmission's first syllable (or
some part thereof) may be inaudible at the receiver. Configuring this setting can circumvent
this phenomenon.
If no audio clipping is experienced, do not configure the Tx PDU Delay.
The simulation host computer may reconfigure or override this setting.
Satcom: Host Interface
Specify which of Telestra's three ethernet interfaces shares the same network segment
as the simulation host computer. Ethernet network settings are specified in the Net-
work Configuration section.
This setting is required for proper Satcom server operation.
Satcom: Host Port
Specify the network port to use on the Host Interface. Acceptable values are from
1025 to 65535. The default is 23500.
This setting is required for proper Satcom server operation.
