Installation Checkout for first time installations.
CAUTION
A "Warning" message is shown when the user first attempts an operation
that requires confirmation from the user stating, "Changes should be
done by trained service personnel". The user will need to press the
confirm button to acknowledge this warning.
This message is to warn unauthorized or untrained personnel to stop
what they are doing before they mis-configure or damage the unit.
• If a configuration file has already been created using the MPC (MAT) Backup function, then it may
be used to load the data options. The configuration restore procedure is located in the maintenance
section of this manual.
• Function activation codes are required to enable Diversity, TAS, TCAS, ATAS (see note below),
TAWS, Terrain Display Only (i.e. Terrain Vision), and TAS Ground Filtering Altitude
configuration selections. The function activation codes are typically shipped with the unit. If the
function activation codes are not included, contact ACSS Customer Service to obtain the codes.
Note - For Release 3.2 and later, the ATAS option is always available and no longer requires an
activation code.
• If the MPC (MAT) is not connected or is disconnected the left side panel color changes to a light
grey and the "Not Connected" message is displayed at the bottom of the tool screen. Re-connect by
doing the following - from the MPC (MAT) panel select ConnectNGT9000USB. This is
required each time the unit power is cycled.
• Place the curser over option titles to view tool tips (not always available).
• No configuration changes take effect until they are entered, applied, and the unit is restarted.
• Pressing "Apply" from any setup/configuration/modify screen will apply, or save, all changes from
all screens. Successful saving of data to DCM is indicated by the following message being displayed
in the lower communication bar of the MPC, "Write to DCM succeeded. Write to NVM backup
succeeded"
These procedures assume the following:
• Power is being supplied to the aircraft and unit.
• The MPC (MAT) is active on the MPC. Refer to the General Information section, paragraph 1.9 for
details on the correct MPC (MAT) that must be used for specific software revisions (Release's).
• The MPC is connected to the unit via the USB interface
• The MPC and unit are communicating.
