D. The conditions and tests for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards. Those
installing this article, on or in a specific type or class of aircraft, must determine that the aircraft
installation conditions are within the TSO standards. TSO articles must have separate approval for
installation in an aircraft. The article may be installed only according to 14 CFR part 43 or the
applicable airworthiness requirements.
2 Description and Operation
A. The Dlink+ w/CPDLC provides Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS)
and Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) message capability in one cockpit mounted
Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). The Dlink+ w/CPDLC is a Class 7 transceiver that can be tuned to any
25 kHz channel over the frequency range of 118.000 to 136.975 MHz with a RF output power on all
frequencies shall not be less than 10 watts in the air.
B. The Dlink+ w/CPDLC works in conjunction with a device called the “Personality Module” mounted
separately. The personality module is a serial EEPROM that houses the unit’s configuration and
database. When the unit is powered ON, the unit reads the data from the personality module. The
configuration information determines the aircraft specific information such as tail number and the
hardware configuration (what IO ports are connected and the type of devices connected to those
ports). The personality module is attached to the aircraft in which the Dlink+ w/CPDLC is installed
and connects to the Dlink+ w/CPDLC when installed on the aircraft via the Dlink+ w/CPDLC 11 pin
Mil-Circular connector. Any Dlink+ w/CPDLC that is connected to a given personality module will
operate with the same configuration.
C. The Dlink+ w/CPDLC is cooled through its case and a rear mounted cooling fan. Under normal
operating conditions no additional cooling is required.
D. Figure 2-1 is a perspective view of the Dlink+ w/CPDLC.

Dlink+ w/CPDLC Installation Manual
3 Prepare for Installation
A. Installations must be performed per the requirements of FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 43.13-1B and
43.13-2B or later current revisions of these documents and any applicable documents referenced in
these ACs. The ACs describe installation processes including how to locate the Dlink+ w/CPDLC,
antenna requirements, wiring requirements, cable routing, mounting, circuit breaker information and
other required steps. The ACs also include inspection steps and best practice guidance. Personnel
who perform installations must be qualified and must meet all applicable FAA requirements.
B. The Dlink+ w/CPDLC is designed to fit into a standard, 5.75” (14.6 cm) by 4.5” (11.43 cm) Dzus rail
mounting slot. There are two military circular connectors (one 11 pin connector and one 61 pin
connector) and one RF TNC connector mounted to the rear of the unit. These connectors provide all
input/output connections to the Dlink+ w/CPDLC. Tables 1 and 2 show the 11 pin and 61 pin
connections.
C. Connections:
•
The Dlink+ w/CPDLC RF output is a TNC connector that is used to connect to the coaxial cable
running to an aircraft mounted VHF antenna. Use double-shielded coaxial cable RG400, or
equivalent.
The antenna will be vertically polarized and have a frequency range of 118.000-136.975 MHz.
The antenna installation should conform to the applicable RTCA DO-224, Signal-in-Space
Minimum Aviation System Performance Standards for Advanced VHF Digital Data
Communications Including Compatibility with Digital Voice Techniques. The VHF Communication
antenna must have a 50-ohm RF impedance with a maximum VSWR of 3:1. Maximum loss into
the antenna must be less than 5.5 dB. The maximum VSWR presented to the Dlink+ w/CPDLC
TNC connector must be 2:1 tested per RTCA DO-281.
•
The 11-pin connector provides the power/ground, 5 Volt dimming bus, and personality module
interfaces. The 11-pin connector mates with an MS3476L18-11S connector with appropriate
strain relief. This mating connector uses #16 socket crimp contacts (M39029/5-116).
Non-emergency +28 VDC aircraft power is routed to the connector. This power is provided using
one or two 16 AWG wires. The wires are terminated with MS39029/5-116 contacts. The
contacts are inserted into the connector’s “A” and/or “L” positions. If both “A” and “L” connector
positions are used, they must be wired to the same power bus. A 7.5 amp circuit breaker must be
used for protection.
The 28 VDC return (ground) is provided using one or two 16 AWG wire(s). The wires are
terminated with MS39029/5-116 contacts. The contact is inserted into the connector’s “B” and/or
“K” position.
Chassis ground is connected using one 14 AWG wire into the connector’s “J” position.
The personality module may be tie wrapped to the power cable or mounted to a nearby bulkhead.
See installation instructions below.
•
The 61-pin connector provides the unit’s signal interfaces. The 61-pin connector mates with an
MS3476L24-61S connector. This connector uses #20 socket crimp contacts (M39029/5-115).
Single wires for discretes and paired wires for ARINC 429 signals and for ethernet signals must
be used.
The unit was DO-160E qualified in two configurations.
One configuration used shielded single wires and shielded twisted pairs with the shields attached
to ground at both ends. Glenair backshells from the 40 series were used at the Dlink+ w/CPDLC
for short termination of shields to chassis.
Document Number: INST-14114-1
Rev. -
Page 6 of 25
INST-14114-1
Dlink+ w/CPDLC Installation Manual
The other configuration used unshielded single wires and shielded twisted pairs. The shields
were grounded at both ends. At the Dlink+ w/CPDLC end, grounding was accomplished by
connecting the shields to ground pins of the 61-pin connector. The cable was stabilized by a
strain relief. To achieve passing RF emissions results with this configuration, it was necessary to
install Quell Corp. 18-11.9 and 24-61.35 FilterSeals in J1 and J2, respectively.
Other grounding and shielding schemes may be acceptable.
