General Dynamics R2670 Series - K-1.2 ASTRO Error Messages

External Key Load Failed
An attempt to load an External Key with a
key loader has failed.
qwdId:
Observe the SET UP menu in the Display
Zone. Verify the selected algorithm
matches the key loader type. For example,
if the key loader is a DVP-XL type, verify
the SET UP menu displays "Algorithm
Sel: DVP-XL." Also, verify that the
selected key type is EXT KEY.
On the back of the key loader, verify that
the key loader type is DX, or a KVL 3000
with an ASN option.
Check the connection from the key loader
to the R2670 then retry the key load. If
the key load continues to fail, perform an
encrypt reset from the Special Functions
(SPF) menu. After the reset, retry the key
load. If the key load still fails, contact the
Service Representative.
Entry Field Must Be Made with Mod OFF
An attempt to change the embedded data
fields has been made while the R2670 is
generating ASTRO VOICE.
qwdId:
In the Audio Zone, turn off the ASTRO
signal by changing CONT to OFF before
attempting to change the embedded data
fields.
K-1.2 ASTRO Error Messages
The following messages are very similar. They
are all related to a severe failure of the ASTRO
Option. A general discussion of the cause
follows, along with a general recommended
solution.
This solution is basically to reset the R2670 and
restart the powerup sequence.
1. ASTRO Failed, Notify Local Service Rep
2. ASTRO Option - Illegal CP Request
ASTRO Option - Bad CP Opcode
While in the ASTRO mode, the system
experiences difficulty when
communicating with the ASTRO.
qwdId:
First try encrypt reset, and if that fails,
notify the Service Representative.
No Response From Option
The R2670 has attempted to communicate
with the ASTRO Option but has not
received a response.
qwdId:
Verify that the ASTRO Option is
installed. This can be done by inspecting
the Installed Options window from the
Special Functions (SPF) page.
If the option is installed, press the
encrypt reset softkey from the system
functions line on the SPF window. This
will reset the R2670. Retry the test. If the
message is redisplayed, perform the nvm
clear from the SPF menu. (This function
will clear all settings previously input.)
Retry the test. If the message is
redisplayed, contact the Service
Representative.
Option Not Responding To Calibration Msg
A command to start the modulation
calibration for the ASTRO Option has
been generated but the option is not
responding.
qwdId:
Perform an nvm clear from the Special
Functions (SPF) menu to restart
calibration. If the option fails to respond,
notify the Service Representative
