Descriptions for points 1 and 2 below are valid for the receiver's firmware 2.2.0 and older.
1. What to do when the G-1090 Status LED flashes RED?
When the Status LED flashes RED, it indicates various errors:
- 2 RED Flashes/second: The G-1090 air traffic receiver is unable to connect to the internet. Recommended action: Verify internet connection and restart the receiver. If the issue continues, please reach out to INVOLI.
- 3 RED Flashes/second: The G-1090 air traffic receiver failed to achieve a GPS fix. Recommended action: Restart the device. Ensure that the top of the device has a clear view of the sky. If the visibility is obstructed, consider relocating the receiver. Note: The initial GPS fix in a new location may take longer. If the issue persists after 5 restarts, please contact INVOLI.
- 4 RED Flashes/second: Peripheral issue detected. Action to take: Restart the device. If the problem continues, please contact INVOLI.
To restart the receiver, disconnect the Ethernet cable, wait for 10 seconds, and then reconnect the cable to the Ethernet port.
2. What to do when the G-1090 Status LED is blinking in BLUE
If the Status LED flashes BLUE for over 2 minutes, this indicates the problem of fixing the GPS position.
The initial GPS fix in a new area may take longer than usual. If the G-1090 continues blinking in BLUE after 5 minutes, attempt to reset the receiver by disconnecting the Ethernet cable and reconnecting it after a 10-second pause.
If the issue persists, it may be due to the G-1090 not receiving a strong GNSS signal. This often occurs when buildings or other structures are blocking the GNSS signal. In such a case, consider relocating the G-1090 to a different position.
3. How much data does the receiver use when connected to a mobile data plan?
The amount of data used varies based on local traffic conditions, potentially reaching 80 to 100 GB monthly, and can be restricted by disabling the transmission of Mode S and Mode A/C signals.
