3.4.1 Registration Form

The first time you start the program or an update of the program, it

will show a registration form on the screen. The information on the

form should be filled in and mailed or faxed to Jotron. Registering

the software ensures that you are put on the mailing list for future

updates of the program.

The registration can be sent automatically from the registration

form (press: register now!), this possibility is tested with Microsoft

outlook 2000 and Groupwise 5.5. If you encounter any problems

82562_UM_ PR40_C

with the email feature, you must manually send an email to the

following address: [email protected]

In the email heading write:

In the body of the email write your name, company and email

address for future updates.

mailto:[email protected]

82562_UM_ PR40_C

3.4.2 Initials

Next you are prompted for your initials, this is the initials that will

show on the programming report and that are stored in the beacon

database for each beacon programmed.

3.4.3 Port configuration

Finally the main window of the program shows up. In this window

there is a main menu on the top, and fields for entering

programming data for the beacons to be programmed.

In order to be able to program beacons there is a few configurations

that must be done to enable programming.

For Tron30S mkII programming with the PRU-30 programmer, the

parallel (LPT) port that is dedicated to the programmer must be

selected – note: the port can not be used to a printer at the same

time.

Select Options|PRU30 to configure the parallel port.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

For Tron40S programming with the PRU-40 programmer, the

serial (COM) port that is used to connect to the programmer must

be selected.

Select Options|PRU40 to configure the serial port.

In both cases, only ports that are available on the PC will be shown

in the drop-down list boxes.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 Programming main window

The main programming form contains all the data that is actually

programmed into the EPIRB and gives the data that Jotron need to

maintain an updated database. It also provides vital information for

the invoicing and crediting procedures.

In principle, all spaces in the programming form should be filled in.

When the required information for the 406MHz message has been

entered, the “Program” button will switch from red to green,

82562_UM_ PR40_C

indicating enough information to program the EPIRB has been

entered.

However you should always check that the information is correct,

remembering that this is crucial information in an emergency

situation where the EPIRB will be used.

Tips are displayed in the left bottom of the form. Warnings are

presented in the right bottom.

Further help is available for the separate items by pressing F1 from

any input / selection box.

4.1.1 Program button

The program button will switch from red to green as soon as all

required data for the 406 MHz message in the EPIRB has been

entered. When pressing the Program button a programming status

form pops up.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

The form informs you about connection status of the PRU-40 and

PRU-USB programmer, and battery status of the PRU-40

programmer. If either or both of them are red – programming is not

possible. Note that the Battery status LED will show green even if

the battery is missing or totally discharged – i.e. green LED is no

guarantee that the battery is ok in the PRU-40.

When the programmer is aligned (or connected with cable –

PRU-30) press and hold the EPIRB in test position, the

programming will automatically start. If the EPIRB instead start the

test sequence (LED flashing) – the programmer is not aligned

properly, and you must try again by releasing and pressing the

EPIRB switch to the test position.

When the programming succeeds, the program will ask if you want

a print out of the programming report, or alternatively preview the

report and print it from the preview form. For UK, a special UK

registration form is available from the program, for other countries,

these forms are normally available on the internet or from the

national registration authorities.

In particular, registration form for USA is available at:

http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/

NOTE that all countries using serial user protocols demand

EPIRBs to be registered in the national databases with updated

information. Countries using other protocols may operate by

different standards regarding this requirement.

Finally you are asked if the programmed data should be stored in

the beacon database. Always select YES if you are not doing a

dummy or demonstration programming. When the data is stored in

the database, it can later be retrieved for viewing or printing. Also,

the “local” database on each programming station is used to report

programmed beacons to Jotron AS.

http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/

82562_UM_ PR40_C

4.1.2 Read button

The Read button retrieves data from the EPIRB for viewing or

printing. After pressing the read button, a similar form that is

shown for the programming shows up, and it is the same procedure

to start the actual read back from the EPIRB.

When reading is completed, you are prompted to preview or print

directly the programmed data.

4.1.3 Report button

The Report button lets you preview / print a report without actually

programming the beacon. This can be useful to generate a report

when the data in a beacon is already programmed but the printout is

missing.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

4.2 Programming Beacons

4.2.1 Beacon information

The top of the beacon information field shows the currently

selected beacon, in this example a Tron S_VDR CAPSULE is

selected. To select another beacon, click Beacon on the main menu

to bring up a list of available beacons. 1. Version information is the characters on the beacon placed

before the serial number. The version information is used to track

revisions made on the beacon and should be entered correctly. Serial number consists of up to 5 digits and is the production

sequence number of the beacon. It is essential that the serial

number is entered correctly. The unique identity of the 406MHz

82562_UM_ PR40_C

message (Hex message) is composed of this serial number among

other data, when serial user protocol is programmed.

Label: The label field is formed automatically from the Version

and Serial number fields, and should be the text that is marked on

the Serial no field on the EPIRB.

Replaces beacon: This field is used when the beacon that is

programmed is a exchange for an old beacon. It is important that

this field is filled in with beacon type and serial number if known;

this will ease the credit process for exchange units.

When the list of available beacons shows up, the currently selected

beacon (in this case Tron S-VDR CAPSULE) is marked with a . Select a different beacon by clicking the menu.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

4.2.2 Bracket information

The top of the bracket information field shows the currently

selected bracket, in this example a Float Free bracket FBR-3 is

selected. To select an other bracket, click Bracket on the main

menu to bring up a list of available brackets for the currently

selected beacon.

Version information is the characters on the bracket placed before

the serial number. The version information is used to track

revisions made on the bracket and should be entered correctly.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

Serial number consists of up to 5 digits and is the production

sequence number of the bracket.Battery expiry date

The battery expiry date is normally 4 years from the programming

date on a new beacon. If a beacon with an old battery is

reprogrammed the battery expiry date must be set according to the

current battery marking.

4.2.3 Vessel Information

In the vessel information box the following data should be entered: Call Sign: Enter the call sign of the vessel. The call sign is printed

on the programming report and transmitted on homing transmitter if

the 121.5 MHz call sign transmission is enabled. EX Call Sign: Enter the previous call sign of the vessel if the

beacon is reprogrammed and the vessel has changed identity. Leave

blank if the previous call is unknown or the beacon being

programmed is not reprogrammed because of this. The ex call sign is used to track beacons when vessels have changed

identity. VESSEL NAME: Enter the name of the vessel that will be written

on the programming report.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

EX VESSEL NAME: Enter the previous name of the vessel if the

beacon is reprogrammed because the vessel has changed identity.

Leave blank if the previous call is unknown or the beacon being

programmed is not reprogrammed because of this. The ex vessel name is used to track beacons when vessels have

changed name.

IMO NUMBER: Enter the IMO or Vessel ID number of the vessel.

Leave blank if it is unknown. Tip: Various (searchable) information about vessels, call signs and IMO

numbers can be found on this WEB link: http://gold.itu.ch/cgi-bin/htsh/mars/ship_search.sh

4.2.4 MID / Country code

The countrycode is the first 3 digits of the ships 9 digits MMSI Code

and must be identical to these digits when coding with MMSI

numbers. Note that the country shown in text next to the 3 digit number in the

countrycode selection is only displayed as a guide and may be wrong

if ITU has reassigned some of the numbers. It is the 3 digit number

that is coded in the beacon and not the text showing the country.

http://gold.itu.ch/cgi-bin/htsh/mars/ship_search.sh

82562_UM_ PR40_C

When coding with Serial User Protocol it is normally the first

countrycode shown in the list that should be used. The 121.5 MHz morse code option can be checked if the beacon

should send its call sign as morse code on the 121.5 MHz homing

transmitter. This is an option, and is not mandatory. If any doubt -

leave unchecked!

4.2.5 Protocol information

The protocol information field will vary depending on the protocol

being programmed. To change the protocol for the ongoing

programming, click the Protocol menu item on the main menu. Then

select the right protocol from the list of available protocols. Only protocols that are enabled in the Option|Program/Reports are

available from the menu. The type of protocol that should be used will vary with different

countries. You must check with the national authorities or with

82562_UM_ PR40_C

Jotron if you are in any doubt of which protocol to use for a

particular country. When the correct protocol has been chosen, the protocol field will

show different information depending the protocol type. On some

protocols, some information must be entered in the protocol field to

complete the necessary program information. Maritime User Protocol with MMSI number is the protocol being

used by most nations. Using this protocol, the following fields must

be filled in:

4.2.5.1 MMSI Location Protocol

The last 6 digits of the 9 digit MMSI number is entered in this field.

(The 3 first digits is the country code and is programmed in the country

code field). A call sign consisting of up to 6 characters / numbers can

also be programmed, but most authorities requires that the MMSI

number is used. If call sign should be used and the actual call sign

consist of 7 characters, Radio Call Sign User Protocol should be used

instead. Beacon number, the beacon number field is used to separate several

beacons on the same ship from each other. Default this field will

always show 0, but if more than one beacon is programmed for the

same ship, the following beacons must be programmed with increasing

numbers, i.e. 1, 2, 3 etc. Separation of the different EPIRBs by

different numbers are important, in order for the satellites to distinguish

the beacons from each other.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

4.2.5.2 Serial User Code

In the default Serial User Protocol (not UK or USA), a serial ID

code must be entered. This ID code can either be the beacons serial

number, or it can be a sequence number given by the national

authorities, check or uncheck the checkbox accordingly. The C/S approval number is changed automatically when a

different beacon has been selected. This number is a fixed

certificate approval number issued by the Cospas/Sarsat

organisation.

The beacon category is automatically generated, based on the

beacon type and the bracket type.

For UK country code and serial protocol the following field will

show up:

82562_UM_ PR40_C

In this case, all the serial data are generated automatically. The

sequence number is a number from 0 to 8191 based on the serial

number of the beacon. The MTI number is a fixed number based on

the bracket and the beacon type and is an approval number issued

by the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Category is

generated based on the beacon and bracket type.

For USA country code and serial protocol the following field will

show up:

Also here, all data are generated automatically. The manufacturer number is a number issued to Jotron AS from the

US coast guard. The Beacon ID is Jotron’s own ID for the currently

selected beacon. The product version number is Jotron’s version

number for the beacon; the version number is increased for every

4192 beacons, based on the serial number. The sequence number is

a number from 0-4191 based on the serial number. The beacon

category is generated based on the beacon and bracket type.

4.2.6 Additional information

82562_UM_ PR40_C

The additional information field is used for miscellaneous

information; the information is not coded into the beacon. The field consists of free text that is printed on the programming

report and stored in the database.

4.3 Options

In the program options dialog box the following options can be

selected:

82562_UM_ PR40_C

4.3.1 Programming

4.3.1.1 Perform ID Check

Enable the checkbox to perform ID check when a beacon is about to

be programmed. The ID check search through a file of previously

programmed beacons and gives a warning if the protected message

is equal to a previously programmed beacon. If for example two

beacons are programmed for the same ship with maritime protocol,

the two beacons must have separate beacon numbers to have

different protected messages. If in this case the two beacons are

programmed with the same beacon number, the program will give a

warning if the ID check is switched on.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

4.3.1.2 Protocols Allowed

The protocol that appears in the protocol menu can be selected here.

If a programming station only programs the Maritime User Protocol,

this protocol can be selected and the other left unselected. Now only

the Maritime Protocol appears in the protocol menu.

4.3.1.3 Location protocols allowed

A list over allowed location protocols.

4.3.2 Reports

4.3.2.1 Print graphic

This selection enables / disables graphics on the output report. If a

slow printer is used graphics should be disabled.

4.3.2.2 Beacon History

The beacon history selection enables or disables information on the

programming report that shows the date and serial numbers of the

two previous program sessions for this beacon.

4.3.2.3 Create "txt" report

To enable a report in "txt" format.

4.3.3 Beacon / Brackets

In the Beacon / Bracket options dialog box the following selections are

available:

4.3.3.1 Beacon and Bracket serial numbers

These switches sets the way the program updates the serial number

fields for the beacon and bracket.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

Three options are available:

Always blank: After a beacon has been programmed the serial number

fields are blank. Increment by 1: Increments the serial number by 1 after a beacon has

been programmed.

Leave unchanged: The serial number fields are left unchanged.

4.3.3.2 Beacons allowed

Enable the beacons that can be programmed by your programming

station.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

4.3.4 Countries

There are two selections in the country list option dialog box.

If the default country list is selected, all country codes defined by ITU

are available in the country select combo box.

If the custom country list is selected, only a list showing the countries

selected by the user is available. If a programming station only

programs beacons for UK and Norway, UK (232) and Norway

(257,258,259 and 260) should be added to the custom country list

below. Now only these countries will be available in the main program

window.

Countries may be added to the custom country list by selecting them in

the main list and click the right arrow.

Countries may be deleted from the custom list by selecting them in the

custom list and click the left arrow.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

4.4 Database

By clicking the View database menu item, a list of all previously

programmed beacons shows up. The various fields in the list are:

Beacon type, Version, Serial number, Battery expiry date (month),

Programming date, Country code, Abbreviation for protocol type

(MM=Maritime with MMSI, MC=Maritime with Callsign, SP=Serial

Protocol, RC=Radio Call Sign Protocol), ID code that show the MMSI

number for a beacon programmed with the Maritime protocol and the

serial ID for a beacon with Serial Protocol. Next is the Radio Call sign

of the vessel and the vesselname.

The list can be sorted by any column by clicking on the column

heading. Clicking the heading once more, sorts the list in the opposite

direction.

82562_UM_ PR40_C

4.4.1 Beacon, database

A specific beacon can be selected by double-clicking a beacon in the

database list. Now a more detailed window is available for that

particular beacon.

From this window the programming details can be viewed, and

clicking the Report button may print a program report.

Clicking the Erase button from this window erases the beacon – use

with care!

82562_UM_ PR40_C

4.4.1.1 Import from JOT files

Selecting the Import from JOT files in the database view will bring up

the following window:

from this window it is possible to import beacons from a Jotron Report

file. The Jotron Report files are generated from the main menu:

Database|Jotron Report. Selecting the directory where the Jotron Report files are located and

then click on the Import button will start the import process. If the

report files are stored in several subdirectories, the include subfolders

checkbox must be checked.

When importing files the program will look through all files starting

with D and with the file extension .JOT . The program will

automatically skip all beacons that are already in the database, with

82562_UM_ PR40_C

similar or newer data. That is if you first generate a Jotron report from

a PC and then try to import the file on the same PC – nothing will be

imported since the data are already there.

You may use this option if you program beacons on a laptop computer

and want to import the data into your desktop computer. Then generate

Jotron reports to a diskette from your laptop, then import them from a

diskette into your desktop computer.

4.4.1.2 Export

Selecting the Export in the database view will bring up the following

window:

from this window it is possible to export beacons to a txt.file or a

Jotron Report file.

that should be sent to Jotron, or that can be imported on other

The files that are generated will be automatically named, starting with

a D, then the year, month and day, a sequence letter A,B,C, etc. if

more than one report is generated for a day. The file extension is

always .JOT. The files may be transferred to Jotron automatically if

your computer has email capabilities. Otherwise the files may be

copied to a diskette and transferred from an other computer. If they are

sent “manually” the files should be sent as attachments to an email
