3-3.5 Discrete Outputs
Two ground/open type discrete outputs as defined by ARINC 763-2 are provided via I/O connector
J1. Discrete output 1 (on/off status) is low when the CAP is powered up. Discrete output 2 (RF
status) is low when wireless operation is enabled.
3-3.6 Reset Input
The CAP reset function is accessible via I/O connector J1 pins 2 and 3. Connecting pins 2 and 3
together will cause the CAP to reset as follows:
• Momentary (less than five seconds) connection causes the CAP to restart;
• Connection for more than five seconds and less than ten seconds (LAN ACTIVE and
RF ACTIVE indicators flash slowly, one flash per second) causes the CAP to reset all
configuration parameters to the factory default settings;
• Connection for more than ten seconds (LAN ACTIVE and RF ACTIVE indicators flash rapidly,
two flashes per second) causes the CAP to enter Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) mode for
loading new firmware.
The reset input is not intended for connection in normal operation. The reset input is for
maintenance operation only. Compliance with specifications is not guaranteed when the reset input
is connected.
