INTRODUCTION
General
Aircell Axxess® is one of the products in the Aircell family of SATCOM systems. It is a multi-channel, SATCOM
system designed for medium-to-large business aircraft. With its “network neutral” design philosophy, Aircell
Axxess equips aircraft with a modular, flexible cabin architecture that serves the operator’s needs today, and
provides the ability to upgrade as new technologies and links become available in the years to come.
Aircell Axxess comes standard with two built-in channels of Iridium satellite communications for quality,
worldwide voice and narrowband data services with full PBX functionality. Also standard are Aircell’s new
Handsets with large-format color displays, advanced noise reduction technology and standard ear bud/headset
jacks. Optional wireless capabilities include a full 802.11b/g WiFi “hotspot” which, when paired with a broadband
connection, can be used to operate personal laptops, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and other WiFi devices
in the cabin.
By using Aircell Axxess integrated expansion ports, additional links can be added to suit an operator’s needs.
These include up to two additional Iridium channels, Inmarsat® broadband connections. Additional system
capabilities are coming on line regularly.
This installation manual (Aircell Axxess manual number D12004) provides the required instructions to install the
Aircell Axxess II (Airborne SmartPhone) Satellite Telephone System. This system allows for two-way
communications from the aircraft, including voice over Iridium or data connection over Iridium (via the Iridium onboard modem). Please refer to Section 2.1. for Block Diagrams.
General Installation Notes (standard configuration consists of a ST 4200, CTR, and Handsets and/or

Page 1-1
D12004-E, March 2010
•
The Cabin Telecommunications Router (Aircell® Axxess™ CTR) must be installed within the pressure vessel;
the CTR will provide the system interface options for up to eight (8) wired Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Handsets, one (1) wired Ethernet connection for system setup, and for WiFi connections.
•
Although designed and packaged for airborne use, the Aircell Axxess CTR is a normal router and will
accommodate most Ethernet printers. Once connected to an available Ethernet port on the Axxess system
and powered on, the printer will receive an IP address and will be accessible from laptop computers
connected either wired or wirelessly to the CTR. Printer driver software may have to be loaded on individual
computers and your IT department can help with that issue.
•
The SIP or Voice over IP (VoIP) Handset (SIP Handsets) must be installed within the pressure vessel; will
provide a voice connection to other SIP HSs and over the Iridium satellite network via the Aircell Axxess
CTR to the Axxess II (ST 4200).
•
Aircell Axxess Call Alerter (ACA and ACA II). The ACA must be installed within the pressure vessel. The
ACA provides ten (10) switch outputs to control external call alerting devices/annunciators which can be
lights, chimes, Sonalerts, etc. The ACA is powered via Aircell Power-over-Ethernet Data Interface (APoEDI)
48 VDC generated by the CTR for APoEDI. The ACA does not provide power to call alerting devices. The
ACA is connected via the CTR. The ACA is controlled by the Aircell Axxess ST 4200 PBX which can
configure and program the ACA. The ACA utilizes one (1) of the CTR’s APoEDI-wired handset interfaces
available. With an ACA installed, Aircell Axxess can operate with a maximum of nine (9) wired SIP handsets.
One (1) ACA can be installed in place of any SIP handset (connected to a CTR).
•
•
ACA II is the same as the ACA except it offers a cockpit handset ringer disable and CTR WiFi functions.
Iridium-approved antennas are mounted on the top of the aircraft to provide the Radio Frequency (RF)
interface for the aircraft-to-satellite connection.
Iridium services are available when the aircraft is in the air or on the ground. The Iridium satellite
communications link is provided using the Iridium LEO (Low Earth Orbit or 485 miles altitude) array of 66
satellites that enable total earth coverage.
General Installation Notes (assumes an optional configuration with AHIs installed)
•
Aircell Axxess Handset Interface (AHI-1). The AHI-1 must be installed within the pressure vessel. AHI-1
can be daisy-chained to provide up to two (2) handsets per AHI-1 unit. AHI-1 contains an Ethernet switch (5
port), internal power supplies, and a power supply for implementation of the Aircell Power-over-Ethernet
Data Interface (APoEDI). APoEDI provides power to handsets or peripheral subsystems. The AHI-1 unit
passes Ethernet/IP-based control signals to/from the Aircell Axxess II (ST 4200) and other peripheral
subsystems. AHI-1 units utilize and pass through aircraft power allowing daisy-chain configurations, i.e. any
unit can be placed downstream. Power for the system is drawn from the 28 VDC aircraft power bus, and
utilized by all peripheral subsystems (AHIs, CTR, etc.). An ACA can be hooked up to an AHI-1 in place of a
handset.
•

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Planning
Careful planning for the install of the Aircell Axxess® will ensure an efficient install with minimum down time for
the aircraft and will ensure optimal system performance and easy maintenance access in the future. Study the
aircraft for optimal antenna location, plan equipment locations with service in mind, and select the proper cabling
before ordering. The Customer will be pleased to get the aircraft back in service promptly as the result of your
planning.
Refer to Aircraft manufacturing guidelines and/or to FAA AC 43.13-1B and 2A. FAA AC 43.13-1B (Acceptable
Methods, Techniques, and Practices) Chapter 11, and FAA AC 43.13-2A (Acceptable Techniques, and
Practices-Aircraft Alterations) Chapters 2 and 3 provide excellent guidelines to ensure a good installation.
A field-approved FAA Form 337 that references a STC as a basis for a follow-on field approval, references to
acceptable approvable data and/or DER documentation (Form 8110-3) approving installation data, is the usual
required documentation path for the installation of this system.
Note
Requirements of the applicable FARs may stipulate that proper DER engineering documents (Form 8110-3) be
supplied or that the installation be performed in accordance with an acceptable STC.
3.2.
Equipment Location
The Aircell Axxess (ST 4200) can either be located in the pressure cabin or out of the pressure cabin (in the
avionics bay, where rain or harsh environments will not be present.) Refer to the Systems Specifications Section
7.4.1., for further details regarding the environment requirements, as the Transceiver is not weather proof. Avoid
a completely “sealed” chamber, as ambient air movement is required to cool the transceiver. When considering
the use of ram-air for cooling, ensure that rainwater will not be ingested and sprayed onto the equipment.
Cooling can extend the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of electronic equipment located in a tightly packed
avionics bay, so a fan may be a worthwhile consideration.
The optional 2-Channel Expansion Transceiver (ST 4020). May be installed outside of the pressure vessel. It is
a convenient way to turn your Aircell Axxess 2-channel Iridium system into a 4-channel Iridium system.
The CTR will need to be installed in the pressurized cabin. Locate the CTR in a non-metallic encloser,
preferably upper cabin area, facing the area intended for WiFi use. This will help with RF data device
communication to the built in WiFi antennas. Optional remote-mounted WiFi antennas are available.
Note
Wi-Fi is not activated on unit’s ship out from Aircell at this time. Refer to Section 4.9. for Wi-Fi activation details.
If this is a new installation of an Aircell Axxess System, select RF cabling as specified in this manual to satisfy
the approved requirements of the system. Keep the cable attenuation as low as possible in the cable run from
the Transceiver to the Satellite Antenna, as the performance of the system will be greatly affected by this cable
attenuation.
3.3.
Cable Routing
Draw a cable routing diagram for the aircraft. Refer to Wiring Diagram in Section 10.0 to determine the required
cables, then measure and record the required cable lengths on a worksheet. Consider the use of straight or 90
degree connectors to satisfy the bend radius requirements of the coax and wiring. Allow for adequate bend
radius, service loops, and stress relief in all cable routes. Follow the cable specifications of Tables 3.1. Clear
Installation Procedures, Section 3

Handset Selection
Five (5) types of SIP HS are available: a standard SIP HS, flush-mount SIP HS, custom-retractable SIP, LEMO
SIP and Wireless WiFi SIP HS. All five HSs will mount and look like the previous versions of Aircell® HSs. The
difference will be with the wiring type and interface connections. It is advisable to install at least two (2) HSs,
one (1) cockpit location and one (1) cabin location.
You can have up to eight (8) HSs (ST 4200 Revision N and subsequent will support 10 HSs) if desired (however,
if an ACA is installed to the CTR, the maximum number of wired HSs is seven (7) from the CTR; if the optional

Notes
Up to eight (8) Handsets (ST 4200 Revision N and subsequent will support 10 HSs) can be connected to
the Aircell® Axxess™ system (if an ACA is installed to the CTR, the maximum number of wired HSs is
seven (7) from the CTR; if the optional AHIs are installed, the maximum number of wired HSs is five (5));
since the CTR will only support eight (8) wired HSs, the additional two (2) HSs will need to be powered
by an AHI-1 or an AHI-2, or the HSs need to be WiFi, or some combination thereof.
Only three (3) HS at a time per Iridium channel can conference to each other, or two (2) HS can
conference to a ground caller. The system also provides an Audio Panel interface from a Standard SIP
HS connection into the aircraft communication system. Multiple RS-232/modem connections are
allowed, but to prevent application malfunction, only one (1) data appliance can be connected at a time
per Iridium channel. The wiring diagrams in Section 10.0 provide wiring definitions for the Handsets,
Audio Panel and RS-232 connections.

1. Turn power on to the Aircell Axxess system and verify that the SIP Handset has power and the display has
stabilized.
2. Using a SIP Handset, place a test call using Iridium to a known local phone number that will be answered,
such as a nearby office phone (a test call to a cell phone should only be used if the cell phone is in an area
of known good coverage). This first call should default to Channel 1 of the Aircell Axxess system.
If the call is not processed through using the SIP Handset, proceed to Troubleshooting Procedures in
Appendix B.
3. If the first SIP Handset call is successful, maintain that call up and initiate a second Iridium call using a
second SIP Handset in the aircraft. This will utilize Channel 2 of the Aircell Axxess.
If the call is not processed through using the SIP Handset, proceed to Troubleshooting Procedures in
Appendix B.
4. If all the test calls are successful, terminate the calls and verify that the system is ready for new call. If data
functionality is to be tested, proceed to Section 4.11. Otherwise, turn off the avionics master switch to

Lift the Handset from the cradle and observe the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Verify an illuminated display and that the display indicates Extension # and the Dialing instructions. (This
usually takes about 70 seconds after power is applied to the system.);
Place a call by entering 9 + country code + phone number on the keyboard and then press SND.
Example: 9 + 1 303 379 0278 SND, this will call Aircell Customer Service;
Verify that the system is providing a clear communications link, and then press END to terminate the call;
If multiple Handsets are installed, repeat the above procedure for all locations; and
Conferencing Handset-to-Handset and or Handset-to-Audio Panel can also be checked at this time.
Audio Panel-to-Handset operations will be per the particulars on how the Aircell Axxess audio is
interfaced to the Audio Panel.

Placing a Iridium call to the Aircraft:
Two-Stage Calling to Aircraft from Ground Phones
Two-stage dialing may be a less-costly alternative to direct dialing.
Calls from USA/Canada
Dial 1 + 480.768.2500 (listen for prompt) +
Aircraft Iridium Telephone Number (8816.XXX.XXXXX).
Calls from Outside USA/Canada
Dial IDD prefix of the country you are calling from
+1 (USA Country Code) + 480.768.2500 (listen for prompt)
+ Aircraft Iridium Telephone Number (8816.XXX.XXXXX).
Direct Dialing to the Aircraft from Ground Phones
Dial IDD prefix of the country you are calling from
(USA/Canada = 011) + Aircraft Iridium Telephone Number
(8816.XXX.XXXXX).
Note
Cellular or ground phones require international dialing capability. Some
cellular and long-distance providers may not recognize the 8816 Iridium
Country Code.
Utilizing Two-Stage dialing will solve this problem in the US, as your call is
placed to a 480 area code (Arizona).

Aircell Axxess® Data Call Functionality Checkout Guide
Aircell Axxess Satellite Telephone System: this system allows for two-way communications from the aircraft,
including voice over Iridium or data connection over Iridium (via the Iridium on-board modem).
There are two (2) Iridium data channels available on the Aircell Axxess II Satellite Transceiver (ST 4200). Two
(2) additional data channels are available on the Expansion Transceiver (ST 4020).
Note
Personal Computers Dial up data service, offered by Iridium is highly recommended. Direct Internet
2.0 offers data compression capabilities, easy Installation and Set Up. The software and ISP service
is free; you only pay for Iridium connection time.
Please visit http://www.Iridium.com/ and go to the Direct Internet 2.0 Sections for the details.
1. Using a standard serial cable, connect the laptop computer configured per above note to the 9-pin Dtype connector wired to Channel 1 of the Aircell Axxess II (ST 4200). Initiate a data call from the laptop
computer. While connecting, Call progress can be monitored on the laptop. Once connected, a
message will show on the laptop screen indicating connection. Open a web browser and bring in a web
page (something simple, Google.com). Note this is a 2.4 Kbps connection that, when using Iridium
Direct Internet, can be enhanced up to 10 Kbps.
2. Terminate the data call on Channel 1 by selecting “Disconnect” on the laptop computer and allowing the
process to finish completely before further steps.
3. Reconnect the laptop computer to the 9-pin D-type connector wired to Channel 2 of the Aircell Axxess
ST.
4. Initiate a data call from the laptop computer. The sequence will be the same as in Step 2 and 3 above.
If any anomalies are observed, troubleshoot as described above. Upon completion, terminate the call
and allow the process to finish completely.
5. If any In Flight Entertainment (IFE) equipment is connected to the Aircell Axxess ST, this is a good
opportunity to attempt an upload/download, as the aircraft does not have to be airborne.
Note
It is suggested that IFE equipment be wired to Channel 2. As voice calls will most likely use Channel 1, this
will allow greater availability of Channel 2 for frequent or automatically scheduled data uploads/downloads.)
Note
It is suggested that Dial up Data equipment be wired to Channel 2. As voice calls will most likely use
Channel 1, this will allow greater availability of Channel 2.
Note
Only one (1) data device can be connected to a channel at a time. If the channel is provisioned for another
data port or another device, please disconnect the device that is not required.
Note
When entering a Dial up Data Call Number, do not use the number nine (9) to access an outside line. The
RS-232 wired data connection is dedicated to the Iridium channel it is wired to.
A typical Dial up data number should be entered as:
00 (Iridium IDD prefix + Country Code + Phone number.)
Example 001-303-XXX-XXXX Colorado phone #, and 008816000025 Iridium Internet Server phone #.
If difficulties are unresolved, contact Aircell Customer Support at 1-888-286-9876.

FOR Aircell On-Go Faxing Service ACTIVATION (applies to the external UCH 100 or UCH 300 fax adapters):
Call Aircell Customer Service 1-888-286-9876, 1-303.301.0278 and provide the following information:
• S/N of the Aircell Axxess® (ST 4200) (Located on the back of the unit)
• The Iridium Channel that the On-Go uniHub™ Fax adapter will be connected to.
• S/N of the On-Go uniHub™ Fax adapter.
• An upFax number will be assigned to the Aircraft.
FOR Aircell On-Go Faxing Service via Iridium (sffax) or Faxing via Inmarsat (classic_rtfax) (applies to the
optional AHI-2 internal onboard fax adapter) (Faxing via Inmarsat requires Aircell AHI-2 Revision C or later and
SIU Revision E or later; refer to Aircell SIU installation Manual D12379):
The following AHI-2 GUI setup pages are from AHI-2 Revision C. Previous revisions have similar GUIs.
Note: Please refer to Technical Bulletin 108 and/or Aircell Axxess Installation Manual D12004, Revision D, for
AHI-2 Revision B and earlier detailed setup and configuration instructions.
All AHI-2 ports must have separate IP addresses and only one (1) port, J5 connection can be activated for
faxing. If these procedures are not followed, there is a high probability of Iridium channel 2 becoming
unavailable, and may additionally cause undesirable data calls and the resulting billable minutes, which Aircell
has no liability.
If POTS Faxing connections are not needed, then nothing is required for Handset operation through the AHI-2.
If only a single AHI-2 (recommended), you will have by default settings a 2-wire POTS connection to port A (J5
connection) and a RS-232 data connection to port B (J6 connection).
The following outlines are the procedure for configuring AHI-2 units for aircraft installation. The procedures are
detailed for single AHI-2 installation.
Configuration Setup
The following setup is required for configuration of the AHI-2 for FAX operations:
1. Connect the Ethernet port of a set-up computer (typically a laptop) to the Aircell Axxess system
configuration and troubleshooting port using an appropriate Ethernet cable (refer to Aircell Axxess
Installation Manual D12004 Section 4.8 (Configuration and Setup) and Section 10.0 (Wiring
Diagrams) for wiring interface requirements).
2. The set-up computer must have an Internet browser installed to view and change configuration
pages (such as “Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0”).
This Section outlines the procedure for configuring an AHI-2. The factory defaults are: Side A (J5) is setup for
use with a 2-wire POTS faxing device (RT-Fax) and Side B (J6) is setup for data device use (RT-Data). Aircraft
installation containing a single AHI-2 unit will work fine with this configuration.
Note: A MAC address (On-Go Device ID) is assigned to each port (refer to Figure 4.32).
