Speed Dialing With the MagnaStarsystem.callerscan storeand quickly call frequentlycalled numbersas well as accessservicesoffered by GTE Airfone (hotel, car rental, weather,etc.). Multiple Phones The basic C-2000 system allows installation of up to nine independent(non-partyline) telephone handsets. A system configuration allowing up to fifty handsetsis currently being developed. Fax I Data Modem The MagnaStar system provides RJ.II jacks for connection of caller's fax or personal computer modem equipment. The RJ.II jacks are integral to the handset; they may be remoted so that the fax / modem cable does not interfere with use of the handset. The system is designed to support high quality (low error rate) voice band data transmissions at 2400 bps; 4800 bps, and 9600 bps. Higher rate capabilities are in development by Raytheon and GTE Airfone engineering. TOO Customer supplied TOO equipment is supportedby the MagnaStar system, via the handsetitself or the RJ-II jack. Call Charging Servicechargesfor calls madewith the MagnaStarsystemare billed directly to the equipmentowner'saccount(1 + calls) or to credit card accounts(0 + calls). Direct charged(1 +) calls canbe blocked,for exampleduring charteruseof the aircraft. Privacy The MagnaStar system usesan advanced modulation and signaling schemewhich offers inherent communications privacy. Your conversation is protected from casual listening by others having 'scanners'or by even similarly equipped aircraft. (This privacy is only limited by the normal private-line telephone service through the PSTN. Additional security can be provided with optional features.) 1-2 RevB EXHIBITC FCC ill: CDG-ARTU MAGNASTAR C-2000 DIGITAL AIRBORNE TELEPHONE SYSTEM 1.2 EquipmentDescription The MagnaStar C-2systemis designedwith the businessaircraft in mind. With two airground voice channeloperationsas a standardfeature, the C-2 consistsof an Airborne Radio Telecommunications Unit (ARTU), an antenna, a duplexer, a mounting tray for the ARTU, one or more Cabin Data Bus Repeaters(COBRs), and one to nine telephone handsets. Optional equipment includes one to three Analog Interface Units (AlU), a Call Alerter Switch (CAS), Cell Phone Interface (CPI), Cockpit HeadsetInterface Panel (CHIP), and other specialized devices. A&JJ1: The ARTU provides the private automatic base exchange (PABX) features, controls the C-2000 system. and contains the receiver-transmitter functions for radio transmission. This digital radio has been implemented using state-of-the-art multiple digitaJ signal processor techniques to provide accurate waveform control and noise-free, reliable communications in the noisy, fading. high-Doppler signal environment seen in jet aircraft-to-ground communications. Reliability is further enhanced by the automated assembly and test techniques used to manufacture the high density surface-mount-devicecircuit cards. Should any problem occur, built-in-test identifies the source of the problem for quick circuit card replacementand return of the unit to service. Antenna/ D~lexer: The antennais a low drag, quarterwavelengthdesign swtable for use on high perforDJance jet aircraft. The duplexeris a passivesignal filter-combinerthat combinesthe receiveand transmitlinesto thecommonantenna. ~: The data and control interface to the ARTU is by means of a high speedtime division multiplexed digital bus operating as a local area network (LAN). User interface devices such as handsets,fax machines, modems, etc. connect to the system via this LAN. There are two different nx>delsof the CDBR. The CDBR-l (~ell) provides for physical connection of up to two digital handsets(with their RJ-ll jacks for the fax I modem connections) to the LAN bus. The CDBR-2 (model 2) provides two analog interface connections, each of which can support either a four wire analog handset or two wire data for direct connection of a fax machine or modem Additionally, the CDBR-2 provides a separate interface for connection of a digital handset. Di2ital Handset: The telephone handsetshave been selected for performance and reliability. The handsets contain noise-canceling microphones to overco~ the aircraft noise environment; audio is digitized at the handset to further ensure clear communication. Special function keys and a liquid crystal display allow easy use of all options available to the user. The digital handsets are offered with varied mounting provisions to fit any installation requirement. Handsetsare offered with a) a standard build-in style mount to hold the handsetwhen not in use, with a ratcheting cord reel, b) that version with a bulkhead mounting adapter, c) the handset and cord reel without a mount, for custom mounting, and d) a "curly-cord" (like standardoffice phones) with a plug for the ability to relocate the handsetto various locations wired with the matching jack. Variations a - c also are available with the RJ-ll jack remoted from the handset, to be located where it best fits in the interior design of the aircraft. All variations come in four colors: white, platinum, pepper dust, and black. Develop~nt is on-going for additional telephone handsetoptions. AllJ.: The AIU can be used to connect an analog SATCOM unit, a Cel1 Phone Interface (CPI), a HF radio, or a Public Address (PA) amplifier, and/or other communications devices to the MagnaStar system The AIU bas been designed with electrical interfaces to optimize the connection to any analog-interface SATCOM system selectedby the custo~. Separateconnections are provided to accotmt for variations in audio-line impedanceand level and in the hook switch and status interfaces between SATCOM equip~nt. HF radio connections can be made directly or through the aircraft audio control panel. The varying requirements for the SATCOM and HF interfaces led to an AIU design that offers the flexibility to connect a wide variety of equip~nt and systems to the C-2000. AIUs interface to the ARTU over the LAN, like the COORs. 1-3 RevB FCC ID: CDG-ARTU MAGNASTAR EXHIBITC C-2000 DIGITAL AIRBORNE TELEPHONE SYSTEM ~: The CAS provides ten switches to control call alerting devices (supplied by the installer) such as bells, lights, cabin chime, etc. (Even in the relatively noise-quieted cabins of business jets, the ambient noise can make it difficult to hear the electronic ringer of the standard handset. Increasing the volume of the handset speakercould be annoying should the handsetbe close to a user's ear when it rang. A separate alerter avoids this problem and allows for installation of the handsetsin enclosed compartments.) Single or multiple switches can be assigned to a handset and to multiple handsets; and the cadence of the "ring" pattern can be controlled, giving a great deal of flexibility to customize uplink call notification. One CAS is used per aircraft; it connects to a digital handsetport of any of the CDBRs in the system. The CAS may also be used to signal when Air-Ground, SATCOM or HF services are available or when one or more particular handsetsare in use. Miscellaneous: The MagnaStar system can interface to many other communications equipment. The "-802" modification to the ARTU provides a CEPT-EI interface to connect directly to SATCOM systems or to cabin management equipment. The flexibility is built in to the system to accommodate customerunique requirements with minimum new development. 1.3 Installation Summary The ARTU is installed in an ARINC style mounting tray using two type A hold downs. It is designed for installation in pressurized or non-pressurizedlocations. The mounting tray provides an air plenum and fan for cooling. The fan is quiet enough to allow cabin installation. The duplexer can be mounted in any convenient location between the ARTU and the antenna. The antennacomes with a standard six hole mounting flange. As an option, a four hole flange is available for direct replacement of standard 450 MHz radio telephone antennas. The handsets are designed for installation in any convenient area of the cabin. Custom mounting provisions can be readily provided.
