¼ *Note: Restoring to default causes the baud rate of Port 3 to match the antenna baud rate
at 4800 baud. When the antenna is detected, it will automatically configure the antenna to
19,200 and then adjust itself to 19,200 after 5 seconds. This action is duplicated in high-speed
ports 7 and 11. Only equipment set to 19,200 should use this port.
How to RESET the SIMRAD Antenna: (smart antenna connected to Ports 3 & 4 of the
MXJB)
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Scroll to Tools & Settings, press ENT.
3. Scroll to GPS icon, press ENT.
4. Scroll to Antenna Reset menu, press ENT.
5. Select Cold Reset or Factory Default Reset, press ENT.
Where:
• Cold Reset - sets the baud rate to 4800, NMEA messages to default and clears the oscillator,
ephemeris and almanac data
• Factory Default - sets the baud rate to 4800 and sets the NMEA messages to default
¼ Note: Resetting the antenna will automatically change the baud rate of the antenna and
the MX61xJB port 3 to 4800 baud. When normal communication between the MX antenna
and the Junction box is established, the J-box will send a setup command to the antenna to
switch to 19200 baud without user intervention. .
