The System Status Page provides real-time insights into the current operational status of your FX device. This is useful for diagnostics and ensures your system is functioning as expected. Each system component is listed with a corresponding indicator light—green for active or working properly, and red for inactive or needing attention.
• License: Displays the current status of your FX licence.
• Platform: Shows the hardware platform your FX device is running on.
• Version: Indicates the current software version installed on your FX device. This is essential for ensuring your device is running the latest firmware updates.
• Time: Displays the current UTC time along with the system uptime, showing how long the device has been operational.
• GPS: Displays the GPS source being used (in this case, INT) and provides information on the Baud rate (19200), number of satellites in use, and the GPS lock type (3D).
• FLARM: Indicates the current status of a connected FLARM device, which provides collision avoidance data. It shows the GPS and PFLAU (traffic and alert) counts.
Note: If the FLARM indicator is red, it may simply mean that no FLARM device is connected. This is not necessarily an issue, but something to take note of if you are expecting FLARM connectivity.
• ADSB: Displays the data link format (df17) and signal strength information related to Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADSB) targets.
• PilotAware: Provides detailed information on PilotAware network traffic, including the number of targets, metar (meteorological data), status, and iGRID connection details.
• Barometer: Shows the current pressure readings in millibars, which are crucial for altitude calibration.
• Hotspot: Displays the local IP address and number of connected clients to the device’s hotspot.
• iGRID: Indicates the number of connected devices via iGRID, PilotAware’s internet data service.
• AP-clients: Lists the connected Access Point (AP) clients, showing their MAC addresses, IP addresses, and packet statistics, including errors or dropped packets.
Note: If fewer than four AP-clients are connected, you may see fewer than four green rows. This is normal if not all clients are connected.
• System: Displays storage information regarding the SD card, including capacity, used space, and available space, useful for monitoring performance.
• Green lights indicate that the system is operating correctly for the respective component.
• Red lights mean there is an issue with that specific component, and you may need to troubleshoot. However, a red FLARM indicator may simply mean that no FLARM device is connected, and fewer than four green AP-client indicators could reflect that not all access points are in use.
• Always check that the essential components like GPS, PilotAware, and ADSB are active (green) to ensure your system is fully functional.
