1.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Lynx MultiLink Surveillance System (also referred to in this manual as the Lynx NGT-9000) is a
Mode S Level 2 dens Class 1 Transponder providing Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast
(ADS-B) out on 1090 MHz with an integrated GPS receiver. The unit also receives ADS-B data via 978
MHz and 1090 MHz. Some models support optional Active Traffic (TAS or TCAS) and/or antenna
Diversity functionality.
Maintenance and configuration setup is accomplished via the USB port located on the front of the unit or
by an optional WiFi connection.
1.2.1 Software Release Summary
Release 2.0 provides the optional functions of ATAS (ADS-B Traffic Advisory System) and Class B
TAWS (Terrain Awareness and Warning System).
Release 2.1 provides the optional function of Lightning Detection, a discrete switch option for setting the
transponder to Standby, additional display interfaces, and an option to display terrain without audio and
visual alerting.
Release 3.0 provides the optional function of Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) that
would be used in place of the TAS function. Note This is a TCAS I system that will be referenced as
“TCAS” throughout the manual.
Release 3.1 improves SBAS GNSS satellite tracking and HFOM reporting.
Release 3.2 incorporates a new ARINC 429 Control Panel interface and an option for dual ARINC 429
Control Panels. Allow ATAS to be enabled without enablement code. See Service Bulletin SB9029000-8
for other resolved issues. New RS-232 Control Panel feature for Reply Rate (not used by the CP-2500).
An upgrade to Release 3.2 requires certain configuration options be selected for the dual Control Panel
feature. If the configuration settings are not made, the unit reverts to Release 3.0/3.1 behavior but with
Release 3.2 fixes. The NGT-9000R cannot meet both Release 3.0/3.1 and Release 3.2 ARINC 429 Output
capabilities because the single ARINC 429 output is used for either Display (CDTI) output associated
with Release 3.0/3.1 or Control Panel feedback associated with Release 3.2.
In addition updates to the MPC (MAT) include removing selection of NY-164 and changing the “save”
button function into a “save all” button.
Release 3.2.1 is a minor software update to fix GPS Epoch Rollover issue that results in the panel mount
versions of the NGT-9000 System (HW Part No. 9029000-20000) with Software Release Versions 1.0,
1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 not providing the full TSO-C157a FIS-B functionality during the period
of 6 April 2019 thru 31 December 2019. See SB9029000-9.
Release 3.2.2 is a minor software update that will reduce Traffic Fail message messages and correct
ground velocity computations. See SB9029000-10. This updated includes an update to the MPC (MAT)
software.
