Configuration
DR - Dead Reckoning
DR, or Dead Reckoning, is an added navigation feature of the MX500.
When the DR setting is set to 'Yes' and appropriate compass/heading
and speed log sensors are connected and activated, the MX500 will
automatically switch to DR calculation when the GPS positioning be-
comes unavailable. A DR icon on the top right corner of the display
indicates that the position displayed is derived from DR calculation.
To set the DR to 'Yes' press the EDIT key then highlight the
'Change' softkey and press the ENT key. Press the EDIT key again
to exit the edit mode.
Dual Control - Dual Station Control
This screen sets the functional control between two or more MX 500
CDU's interfaced together. The default setting is No. When this selec-
tion is changed to Yes, one receiver is set to Master, the other receiver(s)
is set to Slave(s). If the MX 500 is a Slave, it will have the Repeater
option. If Repeater is enabled, the MX 500 only acts as a display unit.
A Repeater unit does not have the capability to modify any setting
unless a password (which is set by the Master unit in CFG1/Security)
is entered. These units will share a common database and one an-
tenna. Refer to Appendix D for more detailed information about the
dual control and multiple unit control setup and operation.
Note: CFG1/LAN must be setup before enabling this feature. A dual
control system consists of one Master and one Slave. A multiple unit
control system consists of one Master, at least one Slave (maximum of
two), and up to three (if any) Repeaters. A multiple unit control
system must contain a minimum of three MX 500 and a maximum of
five MX 500 units altogether.
Warning: In a Multiple Unit Control configuration, this option must
!
be enabled (by changing Dual Control to Yes and press the EDIT key
to exit edit mode) for all Slave and Repeater units before enabling it
in the Master unit.
