Appendix C - IALA Module  

  

The IALA module has been configured at the C-Nav Lafayette office. However, 
this appendix allows the user to send commands to the module if necessary.  It 
is not recommended to make any changes to the IALA module, unless instructed 
by a C-Nav Technician for testing purposes.  The receiver has two ports, P0 is 
the RTCM104 output port and has been configured to be at 9600 baud, 8, N, 1 
and P1 is the configuration port at 4800 baud, 8, N, 1.   

The IALA module  has  been  configured  to  operate  in  ABS  (Automatic  Beacon 
Search) mode by default, selecting and tuning to the most appropriate beacon 
without operator intervention.  ABS mode is ideal for navigation applications over 
considerable areas with various beacon stations available, eliminating the need 
for  operator  intervention  when  traveling  from  one  beacon  coverage  zone  to 
another.    A  continuous  search  for  the  strongest  RTCM  signal  is  always
