1. Create a JSETS Account
JSETS is the national registration database for survival locator beacons. With the assistance of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and non-NOAA satellites, JSETS provides control and timely access to global data from satellites and other sources to promote, protect, and enhance the Nation’s economy, security, environment, and quality of life.
The JSETS component is a web application that enables the registration of Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) for the Department of Defense (DoD). This information database is available to DoD recovery coordination cells to aid in personnel recovery. The information stored in the database associates the beacon to a specific DoD unit facilitating identification of the missing individual(s).
PRMS, to include JSETS, is designed to be a 24-hour operational system that will be available to DoD.

14. Beacon Manager From this window, you will be able to:
Review beacons assigned to you.
Change the status of the beacons assigned to you.
Manage all beacons assigned to your unit.

15. Beacon Manager
As a detachment manager, you will conduct the majority of your work in the Beacon Manager area. If you are a manager of more than one detachment, you may select the unit to manage from the drop-down list after entering your user id and password, and then select the box named Detachment.
To filter the beacons by type, select the drop-down in the field named Type.
Next, select the beacon type you want to manage.
Click on the Filter button (all beacon types will be displayed if not filtered).
Using In Survey Checkbox
The data grid provides all the basic information needed to manage beacons for which you are responsible.
The In Survey checkbox indicates the beacon is lost, stolen, or destroyed in a Report of Survey action and is not available as a registered beacon to the system. Managers should check the box provided for beacons in that status. Eventually, the Report of Survey action is completed and the Beacon Manager should notify the PRMS Help Desk with an to remove the beacon from his/her unit and declare the beacon inactive. The In Survey checkbox is a local use item to use in your shop.

16. Using the Remove (Pool) Button
The Remove (Pool) button (Figure 5-5) removes the beacon from the detachment and places it in the Beacon Pool. When you send a radio in for repair, inspection, etc., you should change that radio’s status to In Selection Pool by clicking the Remove button for that radio. This tells the system that this radio is no longer in your possession and you have placed it back in the Pool. The radio will no longer appear on the beacon manager list. This allows the Maintenance unit to register the radio. When maintenance releases the repaired radio, it returns to Pool status, making it available to a new detachment.
If you double click anywhere on the specific beacon information row, the Edit Beacon page displays.

17. Viewing Beacon Information
This area controls assigning a beacon to a vehicle and is intended for beacon managers to locate their responsible beacons rapidly; vehicles belong to units or detachments (a detachment has the same role as a unit).
In some instances, beacons are permanently assigned to vehicles (i.e. the KC-10 aircraft beacons are bolted on the aircraft) and in some cases the beacons are installed in parachutes, which are then installed in the aircraft until the next regular parachute inspection is due. In such instances, it is easier to track the location of a beacon by the location of the vehicle making sure the appropriate contact information is available quickly.
In the Assign Vehicle (Asset) field, enter a vehicle and assign a beacon to the vehicle by checking the first checkbox.
Use the ellipsis (…) button to search for a particular vehicle by entering the vehicle information.
If you click on the View button, a window displays a non-editable information page for this particular beacon. It is vital that all information in the display is accurate and current. If any pertinent information is missing in any of the fields, you should make updates at this time as described in Section It is the responsibility of the beacon manager to ensure this information is readily available to the Rescue Center or Rescue Coordinator (RC).
