TSO Functions
(1) VDL Mode 2 - Ref: TSO-C160, DO-281A, ARINC 631
Supports the requirements contained in TSO-C160 and MPS DO-281A. The UL-801
is equipment class F (VDL Mode 2 receiver used in a 25-kHz channel separation
environment) and 7 (VDL Mode 2 transmitter used in a 25-kHz channel separation
environment, intended to operate with a range of 200 nautical miles) and architecture
class W (CMU) and Y (VDR). The UL-800 is architecture class W (VDR).
TSO Supporting Functions
(1) Data Loading of Software and Databases - Ref: ARINC 758, SRD
Application-level functionality may be field-modified by the transfer from portable
media (disk or flash memory) of the UniLink and VDR software programs as well as
databases that define the cockpit presentation, air/ground message types and formats,
as well as the geographic location of VHF ground stations.
(2) Config Module Interface - Ref: ARINC 758, SRD
An aircraft "personality module" is integrated with the UniLink to hold configuration
data unique to the aircraft installation. This includes the physical connections as well
as customer-specific operational preferences.
(3) BIT/Maintenance and Status Reporting - Ref: ARINC 758
Built-in-test and continuous health monitoring functions detect health of both internal
components (memory, I/O devices, S/W validity, etc.) as well as external systems.
Maintenance and Status reporting provides periodic output of the status of other
connected aircraft peripherals. Errors are presented to the cockpit and logged
internally for service and troubleshooting.
