The Settings Page is split into two sections. Basic and Advanced, with the Basic Section inputs being a Mandatory Requirement.
Each section includes a '?' symbol which if activated toggles information that describes the relevant action to be undertaken.
New features will be updated automatically to the Settings Page, ready for you to accept when you are connected to iGRID. These will be complete with ‘?’ instructions.
When inputs and selections have been made then a banner will appear at the top of the page to let you know that your new configuration has been saved.
Basic Settings are mandatory requirements that MUST be installed to allow the Rosetta FX to operate correctly.
Mandatory HEX-ID Input
The HEX-ID is a unique 6-digit identifier needed for your aircraft to be uniquely recognized across Europe. It can be derived from three sources, in order of priority:
1. ICAO HEX Code: Issued during aircraft construction, this code is globally unique and linked to your country of registration. For UK-registered aircraft, it starts with “4xxxxx.” Check the CAA G-INFO website to retrieve it.
2. FLARM Serial Number: A unique 6-digit code starting with “Dxxxxx,” based on your FLARM unit.
3. PilotAware FX Serial Number: A unique 6-digit code beginning with “Fxxxxx,” based on your FX unit.
Always use your ICAO HEX-ID if available, especially if your aircraft has a Mode-S transponder or other electronic conspicuity (EC) devices. This helps avoid detecting your own aircraft as a ghost and aids ATC with traffic services.
Aircraft Type
Selecting your aircraft type is important so that it can be correctly identified on in flight screens and Electronic Flight Bags such as Sky Demon.
Advanced Settings improve your FX experience by configuring services to meet your individual requirements. This includes such unique PilotAware features such as Mode-S/3D that provides Mode-S targets with their GPS coordinates using multilateration so they can be plotted on the PilotAware RADAR screen and EFB’s such as Sky Demon.
Changing the Baud Rate will set a single Baud Rate for both the FX Input and Output Ports. Only change this if you are sure of what you are doing. If not ask advice.
Horizontal and Vertical Filters apply only to the RS232 output port destined for Glass cockpits without the ability to filter aircraft heights. FX will do it for them based on your input.
FX software updates will be sent to you automatically. However of for any reason you want to update software from a file then you can so do with the following inbuilt routine. To do this, please ensure that you are an advanced user or you are undertaking this with help from PilotAware Support. Failure to upload this correctly may render FX inoperable and the unit will have to be turned to PilotAware for reset as this cannot be done remotely.
Use this section to check your current license staus or if you need to change the ownership of your FX. For instance if you have sold your aircraft with the FX and the new owner needs to be registered.
FX WiFi Settings
To change your SSID or Password, go to the "Advanced Settings WiFi" section. Enter your desired network name in the Wi-Fi SSID field and your new password in the Wi-Fi Password field to prevent any unwarranted Wi-Fi connections. Click "Update Wi-Fi Settings" to save your changes, and ensure you keep your new password safe.
