H4122 - Iridium SSAS Box

Subject:

Occasional difficulty in reading the configuration data fields.

Identification:

It has come to our attention from a few reported instances in connection with a change
of the programmed configuring parameters of the Iridium SSAS Box, e.g. for a vessel flag
change, that in accessing the LAN-interface of the SSAS Box the data fields of the
configuration pages appear to be empty.
Thorough investigations of a couple of SSAS Box samples brought in from the field has
revealed that the configuration data does indeed still reside in memory, however, it is the
read out process through the LAN interface which has failed.
In case of experiencing a situation as described initialize the LAN interface by cycling
power to the SSAS Box. If not successful first time around it may be necessary to repeat
cycling the power a few times.

This intermittent failure to read out the configuration parameters will be addressed in a
coming software revision.

Priority:

LOW: For information purposes only – no specific action required except as described
above!
