EFIS-D100 Installation Guide - Dynon Avionics

DSAB Configuration
Network Status
The STATUS submenu displays
information on all configured devices,
their serial numbers, their roles on the
network, and their status.
The first line indicates how many devices
are configured on the network. This
number is independent of the number of
devices actually currently turned on and
communicating. It simply reports how
many instruments were present during the
most recent execution of DSAB
configuration.
The next several lines indicate the available roles that the selected instrument can provide. A “*”
is placed next to the roles that the instrument is currently providing to the network. If any of
those roles cannot be detected (e.g., the EFIS’s compass has been disconnected), a “” is
displayed next to that role. Any given instrument in the list can have one of the following
STATUS messages:
ACTIVE – The device is communicating normally on DSAB.
STANDALONE – During configuration as Bus Master, no other DSAB devices were found.
UPGRADE REQ – Device has a different firmware version than the Bus Master and thus
cannot communicate on DSAB.
OFFLINE – The specified device cannot communicate on DSAB or is powered off.
PEERS LOST – (Only appears on Bus Master) – The Bus Master was configured with other
DSAB devices present; however, all of them are currently offline.
If an instrument’s STATUS field displays UPGRADE REQ, PEERS LOST, or OFFLINE, all of
its provided roles are listed as not detected.
The selected instrument’s serial number is displayed, assisting in identification. Additionally,
pressing IDENT causes the selected instrument’s display to display a black screen with the text
DSAB IDENT shown. If the instrument you wish to identify is the one which you are currently
interacting with, the line changes to read THIS UNIT.
Press DOWN▼ or UP▲ to scroll through each of the other instruments configured in your
network.
