SECTION 4 – SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
1. ARINC 615A
Software Data Load Process
A. Introduction
As a minimum, APM system configuration files need to be loaded onto the JetWave™ MCS-8562
Terminal.
The JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal LRUs are preloaded with a full software load and there may
be a need to perform a field data load under normal conditions during installation. If a new software
release is desired by means of a Service Bulletin, or if all of the LRUs are not at the same software
release level, then a new data load will be required.
On completion of physical installation and interconnection of JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal LRUs
in the aircraft, it is to be verified that the appropriate version of the JetWave™ LRU operational
data and APM configuration file is data loaded onto the JetWave™ LRUs.
Whenever an LRU is exchanged in a JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal, confirmation is required to
make sure that the replacement LRU contains software that is compatible with the software
configuration of the other boxes. The software upgrade procedures must be rerun for that particular
LRU each time an LRU is replaced, to make sure there is compatibility within the JetWave™
MCS-8562 Terminal.
The JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal does not allow for any mix of Honeywell and non-Honeywell
furnished LRUs.
The JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal LRU operational data files are available from the Honeywell
Portal. The software data load can be carried out when the data load files are issued separately
along with Service Bulletins for any in-service system updates.
Only Honeywell approved software is loadable onto JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal LRUs.
This section of the document supplies information on how to accomplish ARINC 615A data loading
of JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal in the field.
The data loading of JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal is done while the aircraft is on ground. During
the data load, there will not be any RF transmission.
B. System Requirements
For data load, the data loader is to be interfaced with Modman through the ARINC 600 Modman
AV1 Ethernet port unless APM configuration does specify other port / IPs settings. The AES
JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal Modman is designed to enter into data load mode when the
discrete signal interface for Data load Enable is asserted (grounded) by ARINC 615A compliant
data loading utility. The discrete input electrical specification is in accordance with the specification
in ARINC 763 Section 2.9.6.
It is recommended that the Modman AV1 Maintenance port and Modman Data Load Enable discrete
interface be wired for JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal AES data load and AES log extraction.
An ARINC 615A compliant data loading utility is recommended to be used for JetWave™ AES
data loading. The data loading software-based utility may be hosted on a PC architecture device
such as an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) or other portable computing device, an on-board portable
device, or an avionics device. Since the Aircraft loading procedures can vary due to different type
of uploading means, it is recommended to refer to the appropriate Aircraft Maintenance Manual
before attempting data loading of JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal AES system.
