Revision History
Date Comment
2/2021 Added new instructions under Flight.
9/2020 Added 50 new pages of information from a new Ink version of the guide.
5/2020 Created a Radixx version of the Ink guide.
1
Introduction
This guide provides instructions to complete common tasks in Radixx Go Departure Control System
(DCS).
Login Page
Navigation
At the top of the page there is a navigation bar, this is used to go to other pages. The icons on the right
help to determine if you are on the development, staging, or production server.
2
Start Screen
When you log in to Radixx Go DCS, the first thing you see is the Start Screen. Before you can proceed,
you must use this screen to set the machine. This associates your location—which is always an airport—
with an actual location in the airport, like check-in or boarding.
Setting the machine does two things:
• It sets the devices that are assigned to that location, such as boarding pass (BP) printers,
boarding gate readers, etc.
• It controls which modules you'll see in the application. For example, if you select the check-in
location, you won't see options for boarding passengers. You'll only have options for checking in
passengers and changing flight statuses.
The information that appears in the drop-down lists is predefined when your airline's environment is set
up.
3
2. When you select the airport, the next drop-down displays the locations that are available in that
airport, such as back office, boarding, or check-in. Select the location.
Typical locations are:
• CHECKIN - Select this machine if you are on a counter checking in passengers. Note that
when the CHECKIN machine is selected, the Boarding section will not be shown in Departure
Control.
• BOARDING - Select this machine if you are performing boarding functions.
• BACKOFFICE - Select this machine if you are on a back-office machine or a computer that is
not running on the airport CUTE platform.
When the machine is set, the selected location appears in the upper, right section of the screen.
4
Mouse
Depending on the selected location, you may have the ability to enable and disable the mouse.
Equipment
When you select Boarding or Checkin as the location and you are using local peripherals connected on
SITA, ULTRA, ARINC, RESA, or INK CUTE, the Equipment section displays the status of any attached
devices along with buttons to test them.
5
Session
You can view information about your session by clicking the arrow next to Session. Click the arrow again
to close the session information.
6

To access your profile, click Start Screen > My Profile.
This option lets you manage your profile, modify your contact information, change the default language,
and change your password.

clicking the down arrow next to the airport.
9
Flights
When you open the Check-in screen, the system displays flights departing today from the airport you
selected on the Start Screen. If there are no outbound flights today, this screen will be empty. If the flight
you want does not appear, use the search fields to find the flight.

clicking Change Configuration or Aircraft. You can also set the registration for the aircraft here.

passenger is selected, a seat will not be assigned automatically, and the agent will have to select a seat
manually for every passenger.
1. Select the Airplane Model. All available airplanes models configured for your carrier will appear in

selected model will appear in the drop-down.
3. If you select Release RQST Seats, it will remove all the previously assigned seats, including paid

the changed BP, and only the changed BP, after the process finishes. The reprint of BPs will be started
by Departure Control only for the user that ran the wizard previously.
If the check boxes Release RQST Seats or Seat RQST in Blocked are unselected, a confirmation
message is shown because it could cause some passengers to be unseated.

checked-in passengers. Blocked seats in the previous configuration are ignored. When the Release
RQST Seats box is not selected, then passenger who are not checked-in with RQST or SEAT SSRs are
included in the count.
If the number of seats is not enough, then the screen below is shown, and you must select the
passengers that will be unseated. The selected passengers are only unseated, not offloaded as they
were in the previous version of the wizard.
35
After you select the passengers that will be unseated, the wizard saves all the setting and starts the
process in background. The next screen is shown immediately to inform you that the process has started.
36
If you click the Finish button, you should see a screen similar to the one below. Note that the Cabin
section shows a warning in red informing you that the process of reseating passengers is running. Once

customer support or your account manager to get the right payment types added. Also, as shown in the
following image, currency can be selected from a drop-down in case a specific country/station accepts
more than one currency for payments.
50
Buy Ancillary First
This is a tool developed by Ink to prevent paid services from being added without having paid for the
service first. The main function is to inhibit processes such as check-in or bag tag printing until the service
is paid.
This example shows a passenger without a baggage allowance and the collection process for a first bag:
Once the payment of the service has been made, the system shows a new allowance for the passenger.
51
52
External Payment Gateway
An External Gateway payment is an online option supported by Radixx Go that allows the authorization or
denial of transactions through different payment gateways.
The selling process maintains the same flow. The ancillary is added, and the system displays how much
the passenger has to pay.
If the External Payment Gateway is available and the form of payment chosen is a credit/debit dard, then
process will be as follows:
53
Once the information is entered, the external payment gateway will display a form with the information of
the service to pay and the amount to pay. This form must be completed with the required information
depending on each gateway. Note that the interface can vary depending on the external payment
gateway in use.
When the information is complete, the external payment gateway will confirm or deny the transaction.
54
Passenger Notes (SSRs)
To add a passenger note, click Show SSR. Select an SSR code, add a note in the right text box if
needed, and select Gate Stop if the passenger needs to be stopped at boarding. A message will appear
when the BP is scanned or when his sequence number is entered.
In this section, it is also possible to delete SSRs.
Itinerary/Audit
The passenger itinerary can be modified in this section. Click Add Onward Flight to add a connecting
flight for the passenger.
55
In the Audit Trail section, you will see all actions made to a specific passenger with the time and the agent
who performed the action.
56
Standby
When a carrier is configured to accept standby passengers, a Standby check box appears on the
Departure Control Flight tab. By default, it is unchecked. Select this box to perform actions with standby
passengers.
On the Departure Control Passenger tab, the Type drop-down lists standby priorities. When one of these
is selected, two additional buttons are displayed in the left panel that allow you to print the boarding pass
for a single passenger or a group of standby passengers.
When the passenger is going to be accepted, a seat needs to be assigned and the Check-In button
clicked to print a new BP with the right seat assignment.
57
APIS
The initial passenger list for interactive APIS is sent to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 72
hours before departure. If the message has not yet been sent, for example if there were no passengers
on the flight at that time, the screen displays a red notice in the DHS field like the image below.
If the flight departure is within 72 hours, but before 24 hours, the messages are sent in one batch. If flight
departure is within 24 hours, the messages are sent individually by AQQ. The message will be red if
everyone on the flight has been pre-vetted by the airline before sending the PNL into Radixx Go.
The system shows the message in yellow if a response has not yet been received. The CBP can
sometimes take more than one day to respond.
58
Once the response has been received from the CBP, a confirmation will be displayed in green.
Once a response has been received, the Watchlist and ESTA statuses of passengers are updated.
Passengers who are not precleared are displayed like this.
59
In addition to the icon for printing the BP being red, the Watchlist and ESTA results are also in red. Click
any of these to show the Advanced Passenger Info subtab that contains more detailed information about
the issue.
60
The screen below displays the Watchlist and ESTA results, the reason the BP cannot be printed, and an
error description, if provided by CBP.
The Manual Settings section is displayed if you have the APIS_MANUAL_SETTINGS permission. The
section allows you to override decisions, as would be the case if clearances are obtained outside of the
system over the phone.
All passenger status changes related with CBP events can be checked in Itinerary/Audit link next to
Advanced Passenger Info link.
61
Any changes to the data solicited by CBP requires you to offload the passenger, amend the data as
required, and check in the passenger again. For a few seconds, you will see the following screen while
the system is screening the passenger.
62
Once the response is received the screen will look like the one below. In this case, the passenger still has
an issue and needs to present a valid US traveler document for ESTA.
The passenger is still able to get a BP, so that can be printed. Once the BP is printed, the icon is shown
on blue.
63
In our example, the passenger needs to present a valid US travel document, so a gate stop was created.
64
If the passenger in our example tries to board, a gate stop will appear indicating that the passenger needs
to present a valid US travel document. An attempt to board this passenger will result in a screen like the
one below.
The passengers checked-in via PNL have a valid, printed BP. But that doesn't mean the passenger has a
positive status from the CBP. In cases where the passenger cannot be boarded because of an APIS or
ESTA issue, any attempt to board the passenger will result in a screen like this one.
65
When a checked-in passenger has incomplete ID data and tries to board the flight, a negative board
response of “APIS problem” occurs and an alert is displayed, “The passenger is going to be selected in
APIS tab to check and reenter APIS data if necessary.”
66
If you click the OK button, the passenger is selected on the Check-in tab with the APIS subtab selected.
Perform changes on APIS data, and click the Reclear button. A positive response (Ok to Board) is
obtained from APIS. The passenger is automatically redirected to boarding, and a new attempt to board is
automatically started.
67
68
Clicking the OK button will return you to boarding and will reclear the passenger automatically. If the
response is cleared, the passenger will be boarded.
69
After reclear, if the response is negative, it will not return to boarding automatically. You must make the
correct ID data changes and click the Reclear button until it generates a good response. After that, the
passenger must be boarded manually again.
70
On the other hand, passengers that receive a positive response and no other issues will be displayed like
this.
71
If CBP responds with a Watchlist status of Advisory Selectee, you will see the following screen when the
passenger is selected.
Notice the Watchlist result and Error description. In this case, SSSS is printed on the BP.
For this passenger, a gate stop will be created as well containing the text code:
SELECTEE_GATE_STOP.
Gate stops are created for some CBP responses:
• Additional valid US travel Document: If the passenger gets an ESTA response from CBP of "B” or
"C," this means that the passenger needs to present a valid additional US travel document. In this
case, a gate stop with text code ADDITIONAL_US_DOCUMENT_GATE_STOP is created.
• Selectee and Additional valid US travel Document: This can occur when a passenger gets a
vetting value of "2" and an ESTA value of "B" or "C." In this case, a gate stop with text code
SELECTEE_AND_ADDITIONAL_US_DOCUMENT_GATE_STOP is created. But only one gate
stop is created, so only one action from an agent is needed.
72
Boarding
The green box on this screen shows how many passengers have already boarded. The red box shows
how many passengers remain to be boarded. Clicking the red or green square will list the passengers in
each group.
The transiting link shows how many transit passengers boarded and how many remain.
Below each box, the counters by MFCI are shown.
To start boarding passengers, click the Boarding box (or Boarding Paused) on the right and enter the
sequence number or seat number. If there is a boarding gate reader (BGR) connected, start scanning
boarding passes while on this screen.
The table on the bottom right shows the status of the gate readers if there are any connected. Green or
red circles are shown to indicate whether the scanner is online or offine.
73
Gate Stops
When a passenger with a gate stop is scanned or their sequence number is entered, the gate stop
message appears in yellow followed by a Gate Stop button. To board the passenger, click the Gate Stop
button. This indicates that the gate stop message is accepted and the passenger is okay to be boarded.
Bags to Unload
Click this link to view baggage that needs to be unloaded from the aircraft because a passenger has not
boarded.
74
Final Figures
Click this link to display the total checked-in passengers. When the flight is set to Flown, it will change
and display only boarded passengers. While the flight is Open, it will show both checked-in and boarded
passengers.
Activity Log
Click this link to display a log with all activity done in Boarding. It details which actions were made by
which agent and includes the method of boarding.
75
Boarding Offline
Radixx Go does boarding offline by taking the decisions locally and sending passengers to the server
every ½ second. When the connection to the server is not stable, Radixx Go Boarding tries to send
passengers in the background to the server. When the passenger is boarded on the server, the
passenger will disappear from the boarding list. In the following screenshot, all passengers were boarded
locally and the approval decision was taken by the browser, but these passengers are not boarded on the
server. You will have to wait for them to disappear from this to know that they are boarded on the server.
When there is no connectivity to the server for a period of 50 seconds, the boarding text area will become
red indicating the loss of connectivity. All boarding pass scans will be rejected with the message, "No
Server."
76
If there are unboarded passengers on the server and the user tries to refresh the page or leave the
Boarding screen, the alert below will be shown. If you click OK, pending passengers will be lost.
77

From this option, all messages can be searched and reviewed.
82
Scheduled Flights
It is recommended that you upload SSIM files by going to INK DCS > Flight Control > Import SSIM or
by sending them via email to the same email address where PNLs/ADLs are sent. However, if a SSIM is
not an option, the manual creation of flights is also possible.
This is all that is necessary in order to implement overflights. Passengers booked in these flights
will be asked for APIS data similar to flights entering/departing from USA. Messages will be sent
in order to get a vetting response. Messages are sent in a similar way as they are for flights
entering and departing the USA.
83
5. For the Routing section, if the flight is only an A to B flight, only Origin and Destination should
be populated. Type the IATA code or the name of the station on the Search box and choose the

and then enter the STD, STA, and cabin configuration.
Once the information is complete, click Save at the bottom of the page, and the flights should be created
and added to the Flights list.
87
US APIS
Implementation in Departure Control
The initial passenger list for interactive APIS is sent to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 72
hours before departure. If the message has not yet been sent, for example if there were no passengers
on the flight at that time, the screen displays a red notice in the DHS field like the image below.
88
If the flight departure is within 72 hours, but before 24 hours, the messages are sent in one batch. If flight
departure is within 24 hours, the messages are sent individually by AQQ. The message will be red if
everyone on the flight has been pre-vetted by the airline before sending the PNL into Radixx Go.
The system shows the message in yellow if a response has not yet been received. The CBP can
sometimes take more than one day to respond.
Once the response has been received from the CBP, a confirmation will be displayed in green.
89
Once a response has been received, the Watchlist and ESTA statuses of passengers are updated.
Passengers who are not precleared are displayed like this.
Note that the icon for printing the BP is in red along with the words “Watchlist” and “ESTA.”
90
In addition to the icon for printing the BP being red, the Watchlist and ESTA results are also in red. Click
any of these to show the Advanced Passenger Info subtab that contains more detailed information about
the issue.
In the screen above, you can see the Watchlist and ESTA results, the reason why the BP cannot be
printed, and an error description if provided by CBP.
The Manual Settings section is displayed if you have the APIS_MANUAL_SETTINGS permission. The
section allows you to override decisions, as would be the case if clearances are obtained outside of the
system over the phone.
91
There is also a Summary section that includes all passenger status changes related to CBP events. Any
changes to the data solicited by the CBP requires you to offload the passenger, amend the data as
required, and check in the passenger again. For a few seconds, you will see the following screen while
the system is screening the passenger:
Once the response is received the screen will look like the one below. In this case, the passenger still has
an issue and needs to present a valid US traveler document for ESTA.
92
The passenger is still able to get a BP, so that can be printed. Once the BP is printed, the icon is shown
in blue.
In our example, the passenger needs to present a valid US travel document, so a gate stop was created.
93
If the passenger in our example tries to board, a gate stop will appear indicating that the passenger needs
to present a valid US travel document. An attempt to board this passenger will result in a screen like the
one below.
The passengers checked-in via PNL have a valid, printed BP. But that doesn't mean the passenger has a
positive status from the CBP. In cases where the passenger cannot be boarded because of an APIS or
ESTA issue, any attempt to board the passenger will result in a screen like this one.
94
On the other hand, passengers that receive a positive response and no other issues will be displayed like
this.
Changing Seats
Changing the seat of a checked-in passenger requires that passenger to be offloaded first.
Pre-cleared passengers are cleared with an allocated seat. Therefore, you cannot just freely move
passengers around without retransmitting AQQ clearance to the US authorities. In order to do this, you
need to offload the passenger, move to a new seat, and check the passenger in again. When the
passenger is checked in the second time, it is that check-in action that re-initiates the AQQ clearance
dialog between Radixx Go and the CBP.
95
Selectees
If CBP responds with a Watchlist status of "Advisory Selectee," you will see the following screen
when passenger is selected:
Note the Watchlist result and Error Description. In this case, SSSS will be printed on the BP.
For this passenger, a gate stop will be created that will contain the text code SELECTEE_GATE_STOP.
96
Other Gate Stops
Gate stops are created for the following CBP responses:
• Additional valid US travel Document: If the passenger gets an ESTA response from CBP of "B" or
"C," this means that the passenger needs to present a valid additional US travel document. In this
case, a gate stop with text code ADDITIONAL_US_DOCUMENT_GATE_STOP is created.
• Selectee and Additional valid US travel Document: This can occur when a passenger receives a
vetting value of "2" and an ESTA value of "B" or "C." In this case, a gate stop with text the code
SELECTEE_AND_ADDITIONAL_US_DOCUMENT_GATE_STOP is created, but only one gate
stop is created, so only one action from agents is needed.
US Overflight
Overflights are flights that transit US airspace but do not have any stops in any of the US stations. The
overflights must transmit MCL and crew manifest. Passenger manifests are not required for flights not
entering or departing the US. However, Radixx Go must submit flight and passenger data to Secure Flight
in order to be compliant.
You must identify that a route is an overflight by selecting the Is US Overflight check box in the
Preferences section of the route edit page at the moment the flights are generated. This option is only
available if the staff member belongs to a group with the permission Overflight Scheduled Flight.
This is the only thing necessary to do in order to implement overflights. Passengers booked on these
flights will be asked for APIS data similar to flights entering and departing from the US. Messages will be
sent in order to get a vetting response. Messages are sent in a similar way as for flights entering and
departing the US.
97
API
Interactive API (APP)
All APIS that are interactive work with the same logic (APP). In the case of Interactive APIS, the
information is triggered every time a passenger is checked in, when a change is made in the information
of APIS, and when the flight is set to flown status.
Non-Interactive API
All APIs that are not interactive (Type B) work the same. In this case, the information is triggered once the
flight is set to flown status.
API Configuration
The configuration is made individually for each country. In the case of interactive APIs, each country
requires a certification that is made directly by INK. Once a country is already certified, it does not require
extra certification.
98
Watchlist Configuration
Radixx Go's passenger watchlist allows your carrier to create a list of individuals or groups that require
special surveillance, typically for legal, political, or documentation reasons. The watchlist can be defined
and managed by the watchlist controller from Setup > Options > Watchlists.
From this menu, the watchlist can be edited or reviewed by applying filters to search for passengers
already included. You can search by:
• First Name
• Surname
• Source
• APIS Name
Once the information is completed, the system will retrieve the passenger profile.
99
Creating a New Watchlist Record
On the Watchlist menu, click Add New to create a new record.
Complete the profile for the passenger. First Name, Surname, and date of birth are required.
The more information you enter, the more accurate the search results of watchlist passengers will be.
The system will create two types of alerts. There is an alert of level 2 which matches the name and date
of birth.
The other defined level is level 1, which matches the name, date of birth, and ID number or ID expiry
date.
These alerts appear when the PNL/ADL is sent or when a passenger is added to the flight matching a
passenger on the watchlist. This alert will be highlighted in red and available on the PNL list from the DCS
and via email. This email address needs to be supplied by your airline to be configured in the alerts.
100
Watchlist Levels
Watchlist Match Level 1
When passenger information (name, date of birth, ID number, ID expiry date) matches a profile on the
watchlist, the system will display an alert for the flight on the New Flight Note.
The passenger will also be highlighted in red on the PNL as a Watchlist passenger.
There is also an email notification that will be received by the email of the personnel assigned by you
carrier indicating the level of the matching.
101
Watchlist Match Level 2
In this case, the alert is made by matching only the name and date of birth. This alert will also appear in
the New Flight Note and on the PNL.
102
Watchlist Check-In Process
Check-In Prohibited by the Watchlist
When the process of check-in is performed on a passenger on the watchlist, an alert will be generated
prohibiting the check-in.
103
When the process is performed by an authorized agent, an alert will be displayed to confirm the
Authorization.
Once the process is completed, the passenger will be available for check-in.
The alert color will change to indicating an authorized check-in process was performed.
If clicked, the system will provide information about what was done.
104
TIMATIC/ICTS
Radixx Go is currently integrated with Timatic and ICTS (Traveldocs). This means you can use either of
these two providers depending on your preference regarding the contracted travel documentation
services.
105
Despite the selected option, the travel documentation can be reviewed after completing the necessary
information and click Check.
Once the process is complete, the system will show the response and status of the travel documentation.

Automatic Check-In
This tool allows you to perform an automatic passenger check-in once the reservation is made with no
action required from the passengers. This reduces counter congestion, improves passenger satisfaction,
and reduces costs to your airline.

If the automatic check-in process is successful, an email will be sent to the passenger(s) with the PNR,
boarding pass image with the respective barcode, and information regarding the flight. If the automatic
check-in process is denied, an email will be sent to the passenger(s) with information regarding the denial
reasons.
Exceptions:
• Passengers with special SSRs listed as restricted for automatic check-in
• Passengers without intervention or additional government clearance
Audit Trail:
The automatic check-in process saves the historical data of the transactions performed on a specific flight
and for the passengers as well.
