Introduction

The CTS350-X radar sensor has a built in web interface (known as Vertex) which provides default user level access to the radar. This means you can view information but no changes can be made. There is a useful summary of key radar setup and diagnostic information – e.g. IP address, serial number, system uptime and radar health (temperature and rotation).

This page provides links to the main Vertex documentation.

Accessing 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 Status page.

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.

Vertex User Guide | Log Viewer gives more information about using the Log Viewer.

Viewing Radar Data

https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROD/pages/29294899/Vertex+User+Guide#Radar-Data provides information about viewing the Radar Data.

Setting the Service Date

Following a service procedure you need to register the next service due date within the radar sensor.

  1. In order to do this, you first need to login to Vertex. Follow these instructions: Login | User Login to Vertex.

  2. Click on the Radar Hardware button on the left side.

  3. Then amend the Service Date: https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROD/pages/2269904897/Admin+-+Factory#Setting-the-Service-Due-Date.

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. For this 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.

Please refer to the Shipping Halt documentation: https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROD/pages/2314993823/Firmware+Control+and+Upgrade#Shipping-Halt.
