STATUS BOARD

The technical control of the shore station that is NECOS for fill-period terminations and PRI S/S circuits must maintain a status board. The status board should indicate, as a minimum, all systems/circuits that are active, tuned in, or in a standby status. It should also indicate all inoperative equipment. The watch supervisors must verify the accuracy of the information contained on the status board at watch turnover and update while on watch. The status board must show the following minimum information for active and standby circuits:

Functional title of circuit;

Frequency(ies), both send/receive, if fill-duplex operation is used;

Circuit designator, from communication plan;

Transmitter and receiver designations;

For shore stations, keying line designations;

Terminal equipment designation (for example, R-2368/URR #l);

Cryptoequipment, keying material, and restart time;
