To Access the Vertex Interface
To access the Vertex interface please refer to these instructions: https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROD/pages/29294899/Vertex+User+Guide#Accessing-the-Radar-Interface.
The Vertex Interface
You should now see the Vertex interface opening page:
Within the basic view (when not logged in to the sensor), Vertex provides four main pages, accessible from the four buttons in the top left corner:
Status : Displays basic static settings (i.e. Auto-Hostname, Radar serial number, IP address, etc.) plus dynamic graphs (arranged on two tabs in the lower portion of the page) that provide Temperature and Rotation details.
Actual Value (Blue): Instantaneous value.
Expected Value (Green): Expected value based on the configuration of the radar.
Min / Max Values (Red): The min & max allowed values for each metric.
| Info |
|---|
As long as the blue line is within the two red lines, the health of your radar is good. |
System Information: Provides three pages of detailed settings under the sub headings of System, Radar and Advanced. Click the System Information option to reveal the three sub-headings.
Log Viewer: A full list of all sensor activities. Viewing is possible while not logged in, however, you must log in if you wish to download the record.
Radar Data: Allows you to view the live radar data.
Two other buttons are shown at the top right corner of the page:
Report: Click on this option to display a configuration summary report that details all of the key sensor settings.
Login: Click on this option to login so that changes can be made to the service due date. See setting the service date below for details.
Please refer to https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROD/pages/29294899/Vertex+User+Guide#Status-Page for more information.
Using the Log Viewer
The radar stores a record of activities in order to assist diagnostics. Due to memory restrictions, newer entries will overwrite the oldest and so the log does not retain all historical information.
Selecthttps://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROD/pages/29294899/Vertex+User+Guide#Log-Viewer gives more information about using the Log Viewer
button.
Enter the number of records that you wish to view and click Go.
The requested number of log entries will be displayed with the most recent at the top of the page:
The numbering starts from the latest entry and work backwards in time.

Shipping Halt
In the unlikely event that there is an issue that cannot be resolved by following these instructions, you may need to ship the radar back to Navtech for analysis. In this unlikely event, you should perform a Shipping Halt which will safely store any required data to the radar's SD card, and halt the radar from working.
| Note |
|---|
Once a shipping halt has been performed, physical access will be required to disconnect and then reconnect the power for the radar. |
To carry out your shipping halt, select the Action button in the top right corner of the page, and select Shipping Halt:
| Note |
|---|
Only confirm that you wish to halt the system if you have been advised to do so by a Navtech representative. |
The following message will be presented. To confirm the shipping halt, enter the code in the field provided and click the Halt button.
Please refer to the Shipping Halt documentation: https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROD/pages/2314993823/Firmware+Control+and+Upgrade#Shipping-Halt.
