1 Introduction
The Dlink+ w/CPDLC unit provides aircraft and flight crews with the ability to send and receive Controller
Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting
Systems (ACARS) messages over Very-High Frequency Digital Link (VDL) Mode A/2 networks. This
document is the user’s guide and is to be used for training purposes only.

1.1
Using the Dlink+ w/CPDLC
The Dlink+ w/CPDLC emulates a 14-line ARINC 739 Multi-purpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU)
using a 9 line display to show the information in two parts called the A and B screens.
•
•
•
The A screen puts the MCDU title line on line 1, MCDU lines 2 through 7 on display lines 2
through 7, and the MCDU scratch line (line 14) on line 8.
The B screen puts the MCDU title line on line 1, MCDU lines 8 through 13 on display lines 2
through 7, and the MCDU scratch line (line 14) on line 8.
When there is any text from MCDU line 8 through 13 on the B screen, the text above the lower
left Line Select Key (LSK) will read “A/B” and the rightmost character of display line 1 will show
the current screen (either A or B). Pressing the lower left LSK (“A/B”) will toggle between the two
screens.

1.1.1 Basic User Interface
When first powered up or restarted, the Dlink+ w/CPDLC will appear as follows:
Note: The 1st line may have the airline name and unit version number.
1.1.2 Keyboard
Entering text from the keyboard will be shown on the “scratch pad” line located near the bottom of the
display. Entered text will start at column 1 and be added left to right. See Figure 1.1.1-1 Dlink+
w/CPDLC Text Line Identificaiton.
1.1.2.1 Alpha Numeric Keys
A standard QWERTY keyboard performs the expected functions. All alphabetic characters are always
upper case so they do not respond to the shift key.
1.1.2.2 Non Alpha Numeric Keys
1.1.2.2.1 User Function Keys
The user function keys are located at the top of the keyboard. Functionality is provided for each of
the keys. Function of each key is dependent on the state of the shift key.

4)
Any other characters normally indicate a variable field for data entry. Pressing the LSK
while the scratch line is blank will cause the current contents of the LSK variable to be
copied to the scratch line for editing. Pressing the LSK when there is data on the scratch
line causes the contents of the scratch line to be copied to the LSK field. The data is
verified before it is inserted and an error message is display for any problems.
5) Text can also be displayed on a line next to an LSK and the LSK will have no defined
function. In this case, pressing the LSK will result in a warning on the scratch line.
1.1.2.2.3 Arrow Keys
The function of the up (^), down (v), left (<), and right (>) arrow keys changes depending on the
circumstances:
1) Normal operation: (Shift is off, no data on the scratch line)
• UP and DOWN move through multiple page menus ½ a screen at a time.
• LEFT is the equivalent of the Return key
• RIGHT is ignored.
2) Edit mode: (Shift is off, there is data on the scratch line)
•
UP and DOWN have the same function as normal operation.
• LEFT and RIGHT move the cursor (an underscore) on the scratch line.
1.1.2.2.4 Clear Key
1) If a message is displayed on the scratch line it clears the message and restores the text
that was on the line.
2) If in edit mode it performs a backspace delete function.
3) If held for more than 1 second it clears the scratch line.
1.1.2.2.5 Enter Key
1) When data has been copied to the scratch line by pressing the associated LSK, pressing
ENTER stores the edited data to the original LSK field.
2) When entering a password the ENTER key enters and checks the password.
1.1.2.2.6 Del Key
The DEL key deletes the character under the cursor.
1.1.2.2.7 Return Key
The Return key returns to the previous menu if there is one. If there is no previous menu it is
ignored.
1.1.2.2.8 +/- Key
This key displays a minus in the scratch pad on the first press and will toggle to + with a second
press. It does not change based on the shift key.
1.1.2.2.9 Shift Key
The shift key operates as a shift lock key. Pressing it toggles the shifted/not shifted lamp (lamp is
on when shifted). Do not hold down the shift key to produce a symbol from the numeric keys.
Simply press shift once to turn on the lamp then press the numeric key to get the desired symbol.
Press shift again to turn it off.
1.1.3 Advisories
The Advisories alert the pilot to messages or problems.

1.1.3.1 Lamps
1.1.3.1.1 MSG Lamp
The MSG lamp illuminates when there is at least one unread message in the ACARS receive
buffer. The user can press the MSG user function key to display the ACARS receive buffer. Once
all the message(s) has been viewed the light will be extinguished.
1.1.3.1.2 Fail Lamp
The FAIL lamp is illuminated when a failure is detected in the Dlink+ w/CPDLC. The Dlink+
w/CPDLC may perform an automatic reset to clear the problem. If the problem cannot be cleared
the FAIL lamp will stay on and the Dlink+ w/CPDLC is considered failed and should be serviced.
The particular failure status can be viewed from the Maintenance Menu.
1.1.3.1.3 Temp Lamp
The TEMP lamp will illuminate when the temperature inside the Dlink+ w/CPDLC is too cold (less
than -41C, -41F) or too hot (greater than 90C, 194F) to function.
The Dlink+ w/CPDLC will stay in reset until the temperature returns to normal operation range.
1.1.3.1.4 CPDL Lamp
The CPDL lamp illuminates when there is at least one unread message in the CPDLC receive
buffer. The user can press the CPDLC user function key to display the CPDLC receive buffer.
Once all the message(s) has been viewed the light will be extinguished.
1.1.3.2 Discrete Outputs
These outputs are available through the 61-pin connector on the back of the Dlink+ w/CPDLC.
1.1.3.2.1 ACARS Discrete Output
The ACARS Discrete output will follow the activity of the MSG Lamp, presenting an output ground
when the lamp is on and an open when the lamp is off on discrete output 3.
1.1.3.2.2 CPDLC Discrete Output
The CPDLC discrete output will follow the activity of the CPDL lamp, presenting an output ground
when the lamp is on and an output open when the lamp is off on discrete output 2.
1.1.3.2.3 CPDLC Chime Discrete Output
The CDPLC chime functionality is associated with the CPDL lamp and drives discrete output 1.
The output will present a ground when active and an open when not active. Characteristics of the
chime, pulse width and pulse spacing are part of the system configuration.
