DSAB Configuration
Initial Setup
Please refer to your EFIS-based product’s Installation Guide for detailed information on setting
up and configuring your DSAB network.
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.
