Figure 1: RE Equipment Rack

Visual Verification Equipment Rack

Refer to Figure 1 for an illustration of the equipment described in Table 1. The No. column in Table 1 refers to the number callouts shown in Figure 1.

NOTE: Figure 1 shows those components that are viewable from the front of the rack.

Table 1: RE Equipment Rack No. LRU Description 1 SIPRNet KG-250 The KG-250 is a programmable Internet Protocol (IP) encryptor used to encrypt and decrypt data at the IP level between the RE and the Fixed Element (FE). Currently, the SIPRNet KG-250 is not used.

2 Cisco 2900 Router

The 2900 Series Router directs and controls all data communication throughout the RE. The router serves as the central hub interconnecting the RE components as well as the FE and RE.

3 Local Monitoring and Control

System

(LOMOCS)

(Black) laptop

The LOMOCS (Black) laptop provides control, status, monitoring, and local control of the system. It runs Remote Equipment Management System (REMS) and local management software used for monitoring the system.

LOMOCS (Red) laptop

The LOMOCS (Red) laptop provides control, status, monitoring and local control of the system. It runs REMS, JRE Client, Link 16 Interface Process (LIP) Service, Pro- Logic Instant Message Exchange (PRIME), Popular Secure Socket Shell and Telnet Client (PuTTy), and local management software used for monitoring the system.

5 Command Console The Command Console locally interfaces with the JRE 3G server and Client computers.

INSTRUCTOR NOTE: Explain how to switch between the Server and the Client by pressing the Scroll Lock twice.

6 KG-250 The KG-250 is a programmable IP encryptor used to encrypt and decrypt data at the IP level between the RE and the FE.

7 JRE 3G Server The JRE 3G Server provides Link 16 routing, filtering, and message processing. The software checks link status, manages data forwarding, applies filters, and views situational awareness.

8 STE The STE provides secure voice/data communications.

9 Rackmount UPS Conditions power for the Equipment rack. In the event of a loss of power, power surge, or power line frequency disturbance, the UPS internally disconnects equipment from the utility line and provides a continued, but limited, power supply via an internal battery until the utility line returns to safe levels or the battery fully discharges.

3. RE RADIO RACK

5. JRE CLIENT APPLICATION

The JRE Client Application is the primary user interface for the JRE 3G. This application provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for configuring the JRE 3G Server. The JRE Client Application is used to configure secure data links between the JRE 3G Servers, REMS, and equipment such as the SADL Radio and MIDS LVT. In addition, this application provides routing, filtering, and processing of Link 16 Tactical Data Link (TDL) J Series messages. The interface is used to check link status, manage data forwarding, apply filters, view situational awareness, send and receive chat messages, view link and system status, control Link 16 terminals, monitor Link 16 terminal status, modify Link 16 terminal Initialization Design Load (IDL) and save specific settings. As a GUI, this shows information on a map on the screen: data links, link status, messages, terminals, filters, and surveillance data for situational awareness. For additional information regarding JRE operations, refer to Operation and Maintenance Instructions with Illustrated parts Breakdown Organizational Level Joint Range Extension Gateway 31S5-2TYQ123-8-1.
