CHAPTER 4
OPERATION
4-1 INTRODUCTION
The Cabin Access Point (CAP) does not require day-to-day management for successful, efficient
operation. The most you will want to do is inquire about status and statistics.
4-2 INDICATORS
Figure 4-1 illustrates the CAP indicators. Table 4-1 describes the function of each indicator.
4-3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The CAP is designed for unattended operation. Avionics level discrete inputs enable remote control
of CAP operation. Discrete inputs are provided to enable or disable CAP operation, and to enable or
disable RF transceiver operation. Chapter 3 of this manual provides information on use of the
discrete inputs.
4-4 POWER UP
The CAP powers up automatically when power is applied provided that ground signals are applied at
the on/off control and the RF enable/disable discrete inputs. When the POWER and RF ENABLE
indicators are lit green, the CAP is fully operational. If either indicator is lit amber, CAP operation is
disabled. Refer to Chapter 3 of this manual for information on use of the discrete inputs.
NOTE
The CAP takes approximately 45 seconds to
power up and enable the RF (configuration
dependent).
4-5 CHECKING THE STATUS OF YOUR CAP
Checking the operational status of the CAP requires access to the management tool. Refer to the
applicable operating software operator’s manual for instructions on accessing the management tool
and checking CAP operational status.
