DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION This section describes the system operation and architecture. 2.1  System Overview The Iridium SATCOM System provides multiple voice and data communications functions in the aircraft. The Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRS) provides a satellite voice and data communications (SATCOM) link with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) via the Iridium® satellite network. The system uses a standard ARINC 741/761 SATCOM interface to the flight crew’s Audio Integrating System and ARINC 739A Multi-Purpose Control and Display Units (MCDUs) in the cockpit.   Figure 2-1 –Iridium SATCOM System Operational Concept  The Iridium SATCOM System provides a dedicated safety-services data channel with the capability to send and receive standard ACARS messages between the aircraft’s Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU) and a safety-services certified terrestrial service provider.

 AFIRS 228S Iridium Global Communications System Installation Manual 16 July 2014  L-3 Aviation Recorders Proprietary  Page 32 165E5733-00 Rev. 03 4.  INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS 4.1  Satellite Data Unit (SDU) The SDU is housed in an ARINC 600 2MCU enclosure designed to be mounted in a standard ARINC 600 mounting tray. Although the SDU does not require forced-air cooling, every attempt should be made to install it in a well-ventilated area, preferably on a mounting tray that provides cooling air to the SDU.  Figure 4-1 – Typical 2MCU Mounting Tray for the SDU The SDU tray should be electrically bonded to the airframe (<20 milli-ohms), and installed so that there is easy access to the front panel to facilitate replacing the flash card or connecting to the Maintenance Port. 4.2  SDU Configuration Module (SCM) The SCM can be mounted on or near the SDU tray within 24 inches of the SDU rear connector. The SCM should be electrically bonded to the airframe (<20 milli-ohms). Ensure that the installation location allows easy access to the cover should the SIM card require replacement. Refer to Figure 3-6 for the SCM mounting footprint.
 AFIRS 228S Iridium Global Communications System Installation Manual 16 July 2014  L-3 Aviation Recorders Proprietary  Page 33 165E5733-00 Rev. 03 4.3  Iridium Antenna System The Iridium SATCOM System has a single combined Iridium/GPS RF connection on the rear interface connector, which is to be connected to a single combined Iridium/GPS Antenna. The antenna system is comprised of all the components from the rear interface connector up to, and including, the antenna. The total gain of the antenna system must be greater than 0 dB at 1626.5 MHz (measured at the antenna zenith). Most Iridium antennas have a gain of +3 dBic at the zenith; therefore the maximum attenuation in the rest of the antenna system must be less than 3 dB. 4.3.1  Antenna Specifications The antenna is a low-profile, circular device that can be mounted directly to the aircraft fuselage, and connects to the Iridium SDU through a coaxial cable – see Figure 3-8.

SYSTEM INTERFACE WIRING 6.1  General All wire types and installation practices must comply with the requirements for the aircraft. Unless otherwise noted, minimum wire size is 22 AWG for standard copper wire or 24 AWG for high-strength copper alloy wire. Terminate all shields at ground block or ground stud on SDU tray. Keep shield drains and unshielded conductor lengths as short as practicable (<3”). 6.2  Primary Power, Antenna, and SCM The primary power, antenna, and SCM connections in Figure 6-1 are required for all Iridium SATCOM System installations. The system will start, and continue to operate, whenever power (20.5 – 32.2 VDC) is available at the Primary Power Input pin (J1C-2).  Figure 6-1 – Primary Power, Antenna, and SCM Interface
 AFIRS 228S Iridium Global Communications System Installation Manual 16 July 2014  L-3 Aviation Recorders Proprietary  Page 41 165E5733-00 Rev. 03 6.3  ARINC 429 Interfaces The Iridium SATCOM System has 16 ARINC 429 receive ports and 6 ARINC 429 transmit ports. Each port is software-configurable for high or low speed, and the receive ports are also individually software-configurable for odd, even, or no parity checking. The transmit ports always transmit odd parity. 6.3.1  Receiver Protocols Each of the ARINC 429 receivers can be configured in software for the proper protocol of the external aircraft system to which it is interfaced. Once a protocol (except “None”) is selected for any given receive port, it is no longer available for assignment to any other port. When an input is not connected to an active system (e.g. no connection, or wiring provisions only are installed), the port should be configured as “None” to avoid triggering bus inactivity faults. •  None •  ACARS 1 •  ACARS 2 •  A739 MCDU 1 •  A739 MCDU 2 •  A739 MCDU 3 See Section 0 for the label specifications for each receiver protocol. 6.3.2  Transmitter Protocols Each of the ARINC 429 transmitters can be configured in software for the proper protocol of the external aircraft system to which it is interfaced. Once a protocol (except “None”) is selected for any given port, it is no longer available for assignment to any other port. •  None •  ACARS •  A739 MCDU See Section 3.10 for the label specifications for each transmitter protocol.

 AFIRS 228S Iridium Global Communications System Installation Manual 16 July 2014  L-3 Aviation Recorders Proprietary  Page 43 165E5733-00 Rev. 03 6.5  ACARS ATSU The ACARS ARINC 429 Tx interface provides safety-services data functionality for the Iridium SATCOM System. It is recommended that if the ACARS ATSU ARINC 429 Rx connection will not be used, that the wires be capped and stowed near the connectors as shown. Any Rx port from 2 to 16 may be used (ARINC 429 Rx port 4 is used in Figure 6-3).  Figure 6-3 – ACARS ATSU Interface
 AFIRS 228S Iridium Global Communications System Installation Manual 16 July 2014  L-3 Aviation Recorders Proprietary  Page 44 165E5733-00 Rev. 03 6.6  CFDIU Interface The SDU communicates with the Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit (CFDIU) over two ARINC 429 Low Speed busses, (1) input and (1) output as shown in Figure 6-4.  Figure 6-4 – CFDIU Interface 6.7  Date, Time, and Position The Iridium SATCOM System’s internal GPS provides date, time, and position information to be used in various ways; for example, attaching information tags to various reports and events. 6.8  Rear Ethernet Ports The Iridium SATCOM System has four rear Ethernet ports (see Figure 6-5) that should be set to “none”. Each port can auto-negotiate the best speed (10/100) and mode (full/half duplex). A 4-conductor Ethernet cable must be used. The rear connector pin layout provides slightly better noise immunity with a star-quad cable construction, but a twisted-pair cable construction can generally also be used. •  For star-quad cables, the conductor lay order should be maintained without crossing the conductors when terminating. Examples: PIC P/N E51424 and ECS P/N 422404 •  For twisted-pair construction, the conductor twists should be maintained right up to the rear connector. Examples: PIC P/N E40424 and ECS P/N 922404 In either case, the best noise immunity is obtained by keeping the strip length of the shield as short as physically possible, preferably <0.25 inches. Each of the Ethernet ports can be configured in software for the proper protocol of the external aircraft system to which it is interfaced. Below is a list of the available protocols. •  None •  Not Monitored •  Monitored Unused Ethernet ports should be configured as “None.” A “Monitored” port is one where the system expects an active link and it will generate a fault if the Ethernet link to the external system is not Formatted: No underline, Font color: AutoFormatted: No underline, Font color: Auto, Not Highlight

For example, if the SDU is connected by Ethernet to a Class 2 EFB that is routinely turned off and stowed for take-off and landing, the port should be configured as “Not Monitored” or the system will generate a fault whenever the EFB is disconnected. REPLACE WITH UPDATED DIAGRAM FROM AIRBUS – This was NOT updated when the Non-EFB document was because only the non-EFB drawing was created at that time.   Figure 6-5 – Rear Ethernet Ports 6.9   Discrete Inputs The Iridium SATCOM System has 16 Discrete Inputs, of which 14 are software-configurable for Open-Ground or Open-28V signaling levels, Active High or Active Low logic, and the assigned function. 6.9.1  Landing Gear Control Interface Unit (LGCIU) Input Discrete input no. 1 (Din 1) is dedicated for use as a Landing Gear Control Interface Unit (LGCIU1) input. When there is only one LGCIU input (i.e. the LGCIU2 function is not assigned to a discrete input; see Section 6.9.2) and the LGCIU1 input transitions to the active state, the system is signaled that the aircraft is on the ground, and the inactive state indicates that the aircraft is in the air. LGCIU1 (Din 1) is only an Open-Ground input; it cannot be configured as an Open-28V input. A Hardware Programming Pin (HPP) is provided to set whether the LGCIU1 input is Active High or Active Low. If the LGCIU HPP pin (J1B-11F) is tied low, LGCIU1 is configured as an Active Low input, i.e. Ground = On Ground. If the LGCIU HPP pin is connected to ground, LGCIU1 is configured as an Active High input, i.e. Ground = In Air. If one of the configurable discrete inputs is configured for the LGCIU2 function (see Section 6.9.2), the following logic is used to determine the aircraft’s Air-Ground status: •  When the LGCIU1 discrete input is in the active state (as configured by the LGCIU HPP strapping) and the LGCIU2 discrete input is in the active state (as defined by the ICT setting for the discrete input configured as “LGCIU 2”), the aircraft is considered as “on the ground.” •  When any of the LGCIU discrete inputs are in the inactive state, the aircraft is considered as “in the air.” 6.9.2  Function Assignment The discrete inputs are software configurable. Once a function is selected for any given input, it is no longer available for assignment to any of the other inputs. See Figure 6-6.
 AFIRS 228S Iridium Global Communications System Installation Manual 16 July 2014  L-3 Aviation Recorders Proprietary  Page 46 165E5733-00 Rev. 03 The Mic On and Call Light functions are used in conjunction with the Extension 1 audio interface and are discussed in Section 6.11.1.1 below. •  Discrete input no. 1 (Din 1) is dedicated as a LGCIU input. •  Only discrete inputs Din 2 through Din 15 are software-configurable. •  Discrete input no. 16 (Din 16) is dedicated as “aircraft on ground” (LGCIU HPP). None When an input is not connected to an active system (e.g. no connection, or wiring provisions only are installed), configure the input as “None.” System Reset The System Reset discrete input, when configured, will reset the system only after an inactive to active transition. The system will reset only once even if the discrete input is left active. The System Reset function is independent of the “In-Air” or “On-Ground” status of the aircraft. Landing Gear Control Interface Unit 2 (LGCIU2) A second Landing Gear Control Interface Unit input may optionally be provided to the AFIRS system. Refer to Section 6.9.1 for the logic used when a LGCIU2 input is provided.  Figure 6-6 – Discrete Input Interfaces
 AFIRS 228S Iridium Global Communications System Installation Manual 16 July 2014  L-3 Aviation Recorders Proprietary  Page 47 165E5733-00 Rev. 03  6.10  Discrete Outputs The Iridium SATCOM System has 8 configurable discrete outputs, each of which is software-configurable for Active High or Active Low logic and the assigned function. The discrete outputs use “Open-Closed” signal levels, where the output is either high-impedance to ground (Open) or low-impedance to ground (Closed). Once a function (except “None”) is selected for any given output, it is no longer available for assignment to any of the other outputs. 6.11  SATCOM This section describes the interface and integration requirements for the Iridium SATCOM System with an Audio Integrating System. 6.11.1 Audio Integrating System Extension 1 is generally intended to be connected to the aircraft’s audio integrating system for flight crew use. The interfaces required to fully support this functionality vary significantly depending on the design of the audio integrating system. Generally, the MCDUs are used for control and display of the SATCOM functions for Extension 1. 6.11.1.1  Audio Discrete Signals There is one discrete input and one discrete output that can be used to support the integrated audio interface. Mic On Input The Mic On function is dedicated as a Latched ACP mode; therefore, Voice Extension 1 (Mic/Phone input) will answer an incoming call when the Mic On input transitions to the active state. Once a call is in progress, the microphone audio channel will function as long as the Mic On input is in the active state. If a call is in progress and the Mic On input toggles to the inactive state, the call will be terminated. For outgoing calls when the Mic On input is configured for Latched ACP, the function is dependent on which control source is configured for Extension 1. When an MCDU is the Extension 1 dialing control, setting the “Mic On” input to the active state will initiate the dialing process using the phone number preselected on the MCDU.  Call Light Output The Call List Output is Software configurable for either steady or flashing lights. •  Incoming Call is Ringing = Call Light output will transition to the active state, either in a steady state or flashing at approximately a 1 Hz rate. •  Call is Answered = Call Light output remains active in the steady state as long as the call is in progress. •  Call is Terminated = Call Light output will go inactive.
 AFIRS 228S Iridium Global Communications System Installation Manual 16 July 2014  L-3 Aviation Recorders Proprietary  Page 48 165E5733-00 Rev. 03 6.11.1.2  Latched ACP Configuration If the Audio Integrating System provides a latched Mic On output, the following interface can be used. When an incoming call is ringing and the SATCOM switch on the Audio Control Panel is pressed, the call will be answered and microphone audio will always be live. The SATCOM switch on the Audio Control Panel is pressed a second time to end the call. Calls cannot be answered and terminated on the MCDU screen in this configuration. The following diagram also shows how the Call Light output can be interfaced to an Audio Integrating System that provides SATCOM visual and aural call indications. In this case, a Call Light, Chime and Chime Reset switch are not required.  Figure 6-7 – Latched ACP Audio Interface

Sometimes an error can cleared immediately, and there will be no record of it in the fault log. If a system error cannot be resolved immediately, a Failure, Fault, or Status Message will be recorded and tagged with the specific Date, Time, Position (DTP), and the value will be stored as the ORT Aircraft ICAO Address parameter. During the next periodic Continuous tests the system will determine if a recorded system error is still affecting functionality. If it is not, the Failure, Fault, or Status Message may be cleared. In the event that a condition is cleared, the system will record it as cleared, and tag it with the specific Date, Time, Position and the value of the associated ORT Aircraft ICAO Address parameter. Data Area Checks: Ensures that the various data areas utilized by the Iridium SATCOM system are accessible  Power Checks: Monitors voltage inputs to the Iridium SATCOM system and internal voltage rails of the power supply  Temperature Checks: Responds to system critical temperatures reported by the temperature sensors built into the SDU  Internal Interface Checks: Monitors communication with system devices, including the Internal GPS, ISVM, ISDM, the SCM  External Interface Checks: Monitors communication between the Iridium SATCOM system and external systems  Satellite Link Checks: Monitors the availability of the GPS and Iridium satellite links Formatted Table
