A.2.2 NMEA LWE communication (Radiotelex only)

The SAILOR 6018 Message Terminal supports alert communication
according to IEC 61162-450:2018, but only when running the Radiotelex
application. The mini-C application currently only supports NMEA/alert
communication via the serial ports as described in section A.2.1
Either of the two physical Ethernet ports on the back of the terminal can be
used for LWE communication.
The following alerts can be raised by the mini-C:

Datagram types Only "UdPbC" supported.
IGMP version IGMPv3
NMEA 33
Maximum supported input rates:

• The maximum data rate for receiving and processing NMEA - LWE
sentences is 64 kbit/s. This equals 51 datagrams per second.
• The maximum data rate for incoming Ethernet traffic - addressed or
broadcast - not used by the device is 0.9 Mbit/s. This equals 737
datagrams per seconds.
• The system can handle 711 datagrams per second of type b)
datagrams, while handling a 50% load of type a) datagrams.
A.2.2.1 Error logging function

When receiving NMEA - LWE sentences, the system checks the datagrams
for invalid characters, wrongly formatted tag blocks or sentences, incorrect
tag block or sentence checksums, etc. If an error is detected, the datagram
is ignored and the error is logged as an entry in the system error log. The
entry lists counters for each error type detected. The counters are reset
automatically on system startup.
The system error log can be inspected by generating and downloading a
diagnostics report.

A.3.3 Escalation and responsibility transfer
Specifications
All warnings repeated as warnings for each 4 minutes, ie. silent period will
maximum be 4 minutes. Responsibility transfer can only occur for warning alert
in BAM Category “B” and only via incoming NMEA command from e.g. a CAM.
A.3.4 Alert interfaces

For mini-C application, only the serial interfaces (OPT, ACC) support alert
communication as described in section A.2.1 The interfaces are enabled by
default and cannot be disabled.
For Radiotelex, alert communication is also supported via LWE as described
in section A.2.2. Alert interfaces are configurable via System -> Settings ->
Alert interfaces menu.
Changing these settings requires administrator password: >1-2-3-4<

When enabling or disabling alert communication via serial interfaces, the
selection applies to both the OPT and ACC ports. When enabling alert
communication via Ethernet/LAN (LWE), either or both of the two physical
ports on the back of the terminal are available for use.

A.3.5 LWE settings

LWE communication is currently only supported when running the
Radiotelex application and not for mini-C application. The following LWE
related settings are available via the System -> Settings -> Ethernet (IEC
61162-450) settings menu; changing these settings requires administrator
password: >1-2-3-4<

AAAA
Specifications
• SFI / LWE ID: Default value is "CTXXXX", where the numeric XXXX part is
defined by the terminal MAC address. Talker ID part when running the
Radiotelex application is fixed to "CT" and cannot be changed. The
numeric part can be freely set in the range 0000 - 9999.
• Multi cast transmission group: The multi cast group used for all LWE
communication except SRP sentences. Default is BAM1 (239.192.0.17
port 60017). Selectable are all groups defined in table 4 of IEC 61162-
450:2018.
Note The multicast group used for SRP (SFI resolution protocol)
sentences is fixed to NETA (239.192.0.56 port 60056) and cannot
be changed.
• BAM Native cluster: The cluster from which the terminal will accept
ACN commands. ACN commands from other clusters are ignored.
Selectable clusters are Communication (default) or Navigation.
Note If the cluster identification tag block is not included in the
incoming sentences received via LWE, the Navigation cluster is
assumed. The terminal will only accept such sentences
(commands) if Navigation cluster is selected as native cluster.
