Com Status: Waiting.
This is the status of the SSP alert manager that manages selftimed and alarm transmissions to
data modems, speech modems, and radios, direct connects, RS-485 connections. These are
devices which either communicate via SSP or allow access to a command prompt. Possible
values include Disabled, Waiting, Starting, Started, Stopping, Stopped, Rescheduling, Sending
LAN Alarm, and Dialing Alarm.
COM1: NextST:--:--:-- Last Alarm:--:--:-- LastST:--:--:--
This is an example line for COM1: Since it’s not normally configured to send alarms, or periodic
transmissions, it typically displays blank time values.
RADIO2: NextST:12:10:00 Last Alarm:12:05:40 LastST:12:00:00
This is an example line for a LOS Radio configured on COM2:. It shows the time the next
selftimed transmission is scheduled for as well as the last alarm, and last selftimed transmission.
An alarm transmission is transmission sent when a sensor in the system exceeds an alarm
threshold.
SL3: Started
This is the status of the Satlink manager that is monitoring the Satlink communicator on COM3:.
Possible values include Stopped, Starting, Started, and Stopping.
Basic Status
Basic Status: running ]

I2c statistics
This sub-menu lists statistics on the communications with the I/O modules. The statistics are
cleared out on startup. Normally the “#Rx Count” and “#Tx Count” will increment as
measurements are taken (or other communications takes place) that require I2C modules. Other
counts may also increment at times when an error or a collision on the BUS occurs, but typically
these are recoverable. A non-recoverable error is indicated by the “#Rx Fail” or the “#Tx Fail”
statistics incrementing and will typically result in an error message in the System log. If you
experience a high number of failures, the other statistics may help Sutron technicians and
engineers determine why.
Serial Number
Serial number assigned at the factory to the main board of the 8310.
Num Resets
Number of resets seen by the 8310.
CPLD version
Version of the CPLD on the main board of the 8310. The CPLD is a custom programmable
integrated circuit that controls much of the logic inside of the 8310. The initial version of the
CPLD is “8310, ver A”. If it is updated the version will become “8310, ver B”, “8310, ver C”, etc. If
the unit reports that the CPLD is not for the 8310, then it has been incorrectly programmed.
