USB Extension Slot
This is a USB type A connector. It is available for memory sticks or user extensions. It is fully supported by the internal Linux system.
Power LED
The power LED is green when power is applied to the back side connector.
Mode-S LED
The Mode-S LED is flashing red on each frame that becomes received from aircraft.
If no frames are received (e.g. no antenna connected), it flashes once per second in order to indicate working state.
GPS LED
The GPS LED is flashing green once each second exactly when the second changes. In case of GPS degradation, it occassionally flashes red. It is set quite critical, so that may happen during normal operation, too.

- Mode-S antenna (SMA connector)
- GPS antenna (SMB connector)
