2. KGX Control Panel
INTRODUCTION
The KGX 150T/130T models interface to the KGX Control Panel (P/N:
00016--001) used in--flight by the pilot to control output of ADS--B
890 messages. The KGX Control Panel receives power from and communicates with the KGX 150T/130T. The KGX Control Panel consists of the following components:
D Monochrome liquid crystal display (LCD)
D Mode Selection knob
D Code Knob
D Identification (IDT) button
D Visual flight rules (VFR) button
D Function button
D Enter button.
Each of the KGX Control Panel functions will be explained in the paragraphs that follow. Figure 2--1 shows the available control panel components used for operating the KGX 150T/130T.

DISPLAY
The display in Figure 2--2 shows the operating mode of the KGX 150T/130T, the current squawk code, Flight ID/Call Sign, and the reported pressure altitude in hundreds of feet.
The wave symbol (shown in the pictures below) is active when the KGX 150T/130T transmits or receives ADS--B messages and is displayed on the screen.
The wave symbol under the aircraft image traveling upward indicates that the KGX 150T/130T is receiving ADS--B messages.
The wave symbol under the aircraft image traveling downward indicates that the KGX 150T/130T is transmitting ADS--B messages.
The wave symbol traveling both upward and downward indicates that the KGX 150T/130T is receiving and transmitting ADS--B messages. The KGX 150T/130T receives ADS--B transmissions regardless of the transmission mode.
The pressure altitude is displayed as a Flight Level in hundreds of feet. When non--standard atmospheric conditions apply, this may not match the altimeter indicated altitude but will be correctly reported in the ADS--B message

MODE SELECTION KNOB
The left hand mode selection knob, shown in Figure 2--3, controls the power to the KGX 150T/130T and the operating mode.
Figure 2--3
Mode Selection Knob
The mode selection knob rotates between the different operating modes, as defined in the following paragraphs:
OFF -- Power is removed from the KGX.
D201405000060 REV 0 Oct 2014 2-3

ALT -- The KGX 150T/130T is placed in Airborne Transmission Mode or automatically switches between Airborne and Ground Mode if an Air/GND Squat switch is configured and the aircraft
velocity meets the criteria described in DO--282B for the specific aircraft configuration. Pressure altitude is reported.
NOTE: There is no functional difference between the two ALT knob
positions.
ON -- The KGX 150T/130T is placed in
Airborne Transmission Mode or
automatically switches between Airborne
and Ground Mode if an Air/GND Squat
switch is configured and the aircraft
velocity meets the criteria described in DO--282B for the specific aircraft configuration. Pressure altitude reporting is suppressed.
NOTE: When airborne, the control panel should always be set to
either of the two ALT positions, unless otherwise directed by ATC.
CODE KNOB
The Code knob is used to set squawk codes, such as those listed in
le 2--1, and the Flight ID. Push the Function (FN) button until either
Tab the squawk code or Flight ID is highlighted at the top of the screen. Turning the Code knob, shown in Figure 2--4, will highlight the first digit on the display, and the digit can be changed as required by rotating the Code knob. Push the Enter (ENT) button to advance to the next digit. When ENT is pushed on the last digit, the new squawk code or Flight ID will replace the previous value. If the code entry is not completed within 7 seconds, the changes are ignored and the previous code is restored.

The Call Sign/Flight ID should correspond to the aircraft call sign entered on flight plan. If no flight plan is active, the aircraft registration should be used as the Call Sign/ Flight ID. Use only letters and digits. If the Call Sign/Flight ID is less than 8 characters long, entering a blank character will end it.
PUSH BUTTONS
The push buttons are defined in the following paragraphs:
IDT -- Push the IDT button to activate the Identification function. The IDT button on the KGX Control Panel is disabled when the squawk code is displayed in reverse video. See the External Control subsection later in this section.
VFR -- Pushing the VFR button sets the ADS--B to the pre--programmed code and VFR Flight ID. Pushing the button again restores the previous squawk code and Flight ID.

EXTERNAL CONTROL
Control inputs such as squawk code, call sign, and mode control (IDENT, Altitude Inhibit, Transmit Standby) are needed by the KGX 150T/130T. The KGX 150T/130T can receive control inputs from the KGX Control Panel, compatible transponder, and/or MFD. If an external controller is configured and functional with the KGX Control Panel installed, the KGX Control Panel displays status, but locks out user control inputs. When control inputs are locked, the KGX Control Panel displays reverse video of the transponder squawk code, as shown in Figure 2--5.
Figure 2--5
Reverse Video of Transponder Squawk Code
If control inputs are received in ARINC format, then the call sign on the Call Sign/Flight ID page cannot be changed and is displayed in reverse video, as shown in Figure 2--6.
Figure 2--6
Call Sign Displayed in Reverse Video
The KGX Control Panel will remain locked for approximately 70 seconds for Mode A/C transponders and 7 seconds for other controllers each time they are interrogated. During this time the IDENT and VFR buttons on the KGX Control Panel are disabled and the squawk code cannot be changed using the KGX Control Panel. However, the FN button can still be used to view other information.

3. WiFi Module
INTRODUCTION
The BendixKing KGX WiFi module is a complete, standalone embe TCP/IP stack and applications, requiring only four pins (POWER, 232--TX, 232--RX, GND) to design in for basic usage. The module is pre--loaded with firmware to simplify integration and minimize application--development time.
COMPATIBLE APPS
Go to BendixKing.com for a list of compatible apps.
CONNECTING TO THE WIFI MODULE
dded wireless LAN access device. The device has onboard
The WiFi module can be connected from any device that supports an
802.11 wireless solution or chipset. For example, the WiFi module can be connected using a laptop with a wireless chipset or any of the currently available tablets and pads.
NOTE: The following instructions are not limited to a Windows laptop
or an iPad. They are applicable to other devices as well. The figures are examples to aid in connecting to the WiFi module.
1. Ensure that the WiFi module is powered on.
2. To connect to the WiFi system, ensure that there is a valid wireless connection to the system.
