6.2.1
ABR Power On Self-Test (POST)
At power up, the ABR automatically runs a Power On Self-Test (POST) in order to
perform basic system level tests. The system status LED’s on the front of the ABR will
begin a flash sequence indicating that the ABR is cycling through the self-test process.
Upon completion of a successful POST, the system is ready for operation and the
status LED’s will illuminate according to the diagram shown in Figure 7.2.2-1 below. In
the event the POST is unsuccessful, consult Section 7 – Troubleshooting for additional
guidance.
6.2.2
GPS Verification
The WSS 4G system requires no connection to the onboard avionics to assist with
aircraft location information. System position is derived from the system GPS,
embedded within the HPB antenna. The built-in GPS is verified during POST and
monitored thereafter by the ABR monitoring software.
1)
Locate the aircraft outside and away from hangers and other obstructions with a
clear view of the horizon.
2)
Apply power to the ABR and allow the POST to complete (approximately 180
seconds)
3)
Verify the status of the Digital Card LEDs on the front panel of the ABR as
indicated below:
PASS: Digital Card Yellow LED – Off
FAIL: Digital Card Yellow LED – Flashing
A flashing Yellow fault indicates that a GPS lock could not be established at that time.
In the event this test fails, consult Section 7 – Troubleshooting for additional guidance.
6.2.3
Service Activation
The WSS 4G system requires activation of service prior to flight testing and after
system installation. System activation must also be performed after Aircraft Base Radio
(ABR) exchange as unique system details will need to be updated for continued service.
Satcom Direct provides Service activation and billing support for WSS’s Business
Aviation Customers and should be contacted directly to discuss options and to setup a
Customer Service Agreement.
Please contact your specific Service Provider as applicable for other market segments.
Each ABR contains a unique, fixed Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card and the
International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI). This identifier is tracked by ABR Serial
number which will be required for provisioning and activation.
