Tests in this section require the use of the MMTI commandedmode screens. See section 9.3 for information detailing navigation and description of the various MMTI commanded mode screens. 9.2.1 Data Cable Pull Check The data cable pull check can be a useful test for finding intermittent cable connectionsbetween CDBRs or between a CDBR and an ARTU. This test is performed using the MMTI commanded~e. This test involves monitoring debug messageson one of the MMTI statusscreenswhile moving the data cables. The performance of this test requires the ARTU to be placed in a "locked offline state" in order to easily rcvicw thc MMTI debug messages.While in the "locked offline state" the "71 PAB_BIT TASK" dcbug screenwill display a messageif the ARTU detectsan intermittent connection. The MMTI will display "AMX_IN_SYNC messagereceived from AMX DSP LAN Adr=xx" on the debug screen if an intermittent connection is detected as shown in Figure 9.2.1. The message"DQ2 DSP_ERROR_CODE rcvd from DSP #14, HDRI=I00 hex" messagewill appearevery 15 secondson the debug screen when the ARTU is placed in the proper mode and the correct debug screenselected. If an intermittent connection is detected, check the cable for proper seating, damage,and bad or broken solder joints. Swapping of a CDBR or AIU may be necessaryto isolate intermittent or damagedconnectors on the units themselves. The steps for perfonning the data cable pull check are as follows: Power up the ARTU and let it complete Built-ln- Test. Connect the MMT cable to the ARTU and the computer. Start the MMTI software and select commanded mode of operation. Select the Goto Radio Installation/f est Menu. Select the Set Radio Locked/Offline command. Pressthe escapekey. Goto Radio Maintenance Operations Menus. Goto Debug Menu. EnablelDisable All Debug Msgs. Enable All Debug Msgs. Select No to Log Debug messages. Pressthe "F I" key three times to scroll to the 71 PAB_BIT TASK Debug screen. The message"DQ2 DSP_ERROR_CODE rcvd from DSP#14, HDRI=IOOhex" messagewill appear every 15 secondson the debug screen.

Q.t7 RevB FCC ID: CDG-ARTU EXHIBIT C MAGNASTAR C-2000 DIGITAL AIRBORNE TELEPHONE SYSTEM 9.2.4 L-Band Interference Tests Becausethe C-2000 system operatesin the 850.900 MHz range, interference between the C.2000 and LBand equipment (i.e. DME, Transponder, TCAS) can occur if there is not enough isolation between antennas. Testing for interference can be done by making the C-2000 equipment transmit. By monitoring the Receiver Signal Strength (RSS) value reported in the Radio Status screenwhile the ARTU is transmitting, it can be determined if the L-Band equipment interferes with the C-2000 system. The simplest test method is to use the MMTI installation test mode and to stop at the Receive Signal Strength test step. By not connecting up the loop around test box, no signal level should be reported above the nominal no signal value. Frequency agile devices like DMEs must be tuned and transmit acrossthe whole operating frequency range to assurethat there are no frequency dependentinterference problems. If any change occurs in the RSS value then there is interference from external equipment. The nominal no signal value of the RSS can be determined by disconnecting the receive coax cable from the ARTU and viewing the RSS value on the Radio Status screen. Seesection 6.3.12 for the Receive Signal Strength Measurementtest procedure. 9.2.5 CEPT -El Communication Verification The MagnaStar ARTU is capable of interfacing to multichannellNMARSA T SA TCOM equipment using a CEPT-EI digital interface. ARTU part number 724855-802 has additional hardware which will support this interface. Calls are routed through the ARTU to the SATCOM over the CEPT-E I interface. The CEPT-E I interface is a 2.048 MHz time division multiplexed data bus consisting of differential serial transmit and receive lines. Communication between the ARTU and the SATCOM equipment can be verified by viewing a MagnaStar digital handset. If a handsetdisplays the word Satcom on the Services menu when the handsetis on hook. or in the bezel, then the ARTU and SATCOM equipment are in communication over the CEPT-E I interface. Also, if the LINK option is available from the handsetMain menu, then the CEPT-EI is operational. If SATCOM is not present at the Services menu, then the SATCOM system has informed the MagnaStar system there are no channelsavailable. If this happensduring initial system installation, verify the Satcom system configuration jumpers (verify that the SATCOM system has been configured for External CTU). It is possible that conditions may exist which will keep SATCOM calls from being placed SATCOM units do provided status information to the ARTU over the CEPT-E I bus which can indicate that the SATCOM unit is either faulted or that SATCOM channelsare not available for use. This information is reported to the user when a call is placed. SATCOM channelsnot being available for use may include items beyond the SATCOM unit including satellite coverageproblems or ground station problems. It is possible to detennine the status of the CEPT-EI interface between the ARTU and the SATCOM unit using the MMT. Figure 9.2.5 shows the ARTU Statusscreen. In the lower right hand comer is CEPT-EI statusinformation. The CEPT-EI statusinformation has three possible states;RR, RNR and DOWN. There are two columns of information. The ARTU column applies to the ARTU and the CMS column applies to the SATCOM equipment. It may be possible to isolated RNR problems to a particular piece of equipment using the column labels. RRRNR This statusinfom1ation meansReceiver Ready. This condition indicates that the CEPT. El interface and equipment is operational. - This statusinformation meansReceive Not Ready. This condition indicates that the CEPT-E 1 interface is operational but that the equipment is not functional. DOWN - This status information meansthat the CEPT-El interface is not operational. This could indicated that either piece of equipment is at fault or no CEPT-E 1 connection. Q.IK RevS FCC ID: CDG-ARTU EXHIBIT C MAGNASTAR C-2000 DIGITAL AIRBORNE TELEPHONE SYSTEM : Aizeraft at.atu.

These text messagesare intended to help the user determine why a call may not be placed or why a call may have been interrupted and what possible action to take to correct the problem There are several handsettext messagethat may be displayed indicating that the ARTU has detected an abnonnal condition and has taken some type of corrective action. Typically the corrective action taken is that the ARTU will reload software. These types of handsettext messagesnormally indicate that the ARTU is not broken and does not need to be replaced. If the problem reoccurs and cannot be cleared, then reboot the ARTU. This can be accomplished by pulling the circuit breaker an removing power for greater than IS seconds. This infonnation applies to the following three handsettext messagescreens: Channel Recovery Limited To One Call Mode switchover Failure Re-Dial Hang Up All Calls And Redial To Acquire Another C~~J,-- h-Dial Service Failure Two handsettext messagesare shown below that may be displayed if a telephone connection is abnonnally tenninated. These messagesdo not nonnally indicated an aircraft system fault unless repeatedoccurrenceof this type of condition exists. There are several reasonshand-off failures or abnormal call tenninations can occur. They may be causedby poor radio link conditions, antennablockage, radio frequency interference, base station coverageproblems becauseoperation is below 18,000 feet, or ground network proble~. If an aircraft is experiencing excessivecall hand-off failures, then it is suggestedto first check the RF cabling and antennainstallation on the aircraft. Check for damagedcoaxial cables shields or loose coaxial cable connectors, especially the SMA connectors on the duplexer. Call Handoff Failure Re-Dial Radio Signal Lost Re-Dial 9-32 RevB FCC ill: CDG-ARTU MAGNAST AR EXHIBIT C C-2000 DIGITAL AIRBORNE TELEPHONE SYSTEM The radio fault handsettext messageshown below will display a three digit code if the ARTU detects a built in test fault. The red fault indicator on the front of the unit will also be illuminated if this messageappears. The fault codes may be an even or an odd number. Even numbered fault codesindicate that the ARTU has experienceda recoverable fault. The fault may clear itself within a few minutes. If the problem does not clear itself, then reboot the ARTU. This can be accomplished by pulling the circuit breaker an removing power for greater than 15 seconds. If the problem reoccurs, then the ARTU should be replaced. Odd numbered faults indicate a nonrecoverablefault and usually indicate an intermittent or broken ARTU. Intermittent problems may be cleared by cycling power for greater than 15 seconds. If an ARTU is replaced, please include the reported fault code and any other relevant information with the unit to explain the reasonfor unit replacement. Radio Fault xxx The waiting on system warm-up handsettext messageshown below will be displayed when the system is first powered up and hasjust completed built in test. The system warm-up is to allow the ARTU reference oscillator to warm-up and meet the frequency accuracy required for the system. This warm-up time lasts for four minutes after the system completes power-up built in test. The radio overternp fault handsettext messageshown below will be displayed if the radio detects an abnormal over temperature problem The ARTU has over temperatureprotection and will shut down if this occurs. The ARTU will automatically recover once the unit has cooled down. This messagewill only be displayed for a short time prior to the ARTU shutting down. Waiting System Warm-up on Radio OVertemp Fault Check 9-33 Fan RevB FCC ill: CDG-ARTU EXHIBIT C MAGNASTAR C-2000 DIGITAL AIRBORNE TELEPHONE SYSTEM The status code handsettext messageshown below will be displayed for abnormal call releases due to software coding problems or unanticipated race conditions. This screen would not indicate a hardware problem Status Code xxx Redial The check CDBR cabling handsettext messageas shown below will be displayed when the ARTU detects a synchronization problem on the LAN bus between the ARTU and the LAN repeaters. Typically this fault condition occurs becauseof cabling problems. The most common causeof this problem are wrong wiring or pinched wiring in the backshell. The ARTU and LAN repeaters can also be damagedif a LAN repeater is inadvertently connectedup backwards, resulting in the sametype of fault. LAN repeaterscan be damagedif no cable strain relief is provided in the installation and may causeintermittent operation or latent faults.

This messageis generatedby the handsetif power and ground are present but the handsetis missing the clock, sync or data. The messagemay also appearif the data to the handsetis corrupted. If this messageappears,check to verify that the ARTU has not detected a fault condition or is running power-up BIT. This can be done by viewing the fault (red) light on the front of the ARTU. If the ARTU fault light is illuminated then a fault has been detected or is running power-up BIT. Power-up BIT should not take longer than five minutes to complete. If after enough time has passedto allow power-up BIT to complete, then the handsettext messagewould be displayed becauseof a fault with the ARTU. If the temporary service disruption handsettext messageis presentand the ARTU fault light is not present, then check the handsetand CDBR cabling in the aircraft..
