Confirm that the SDU front panel ETHERNET LEDs for the connected ports are green. Flashing
green indicates data is being transferred.
Perform any tests specific to the connected system to confirm that it is communicating with the
SDU over the Ethernet port.
8.1.2.5 Discrete Input Tests
For each discrete input connected (1-16), confirm the correct aircraft system interface as
follows:
1. Using the Maintenance User Interface (MUI), click on the Discrete In tab on the Home
page.
2. Select the discrete input to its inactive state. Confirm proper operation of the interfaced
aircraft system.
3. Select the discrete input to its active state. Confirm proper operation of the interfaced
aircraft system.
8.1.2.6 Discrete Output Tests
For each discrete output configured and connected (1-8), confirm the correct state is detected
as follows:
1. Manipulate the system providing the discrete output as required to indicate the output
active state
8.1.3 Operational System Tests
Note:
The tests in this section require the aircraft to be powered and outside the hangar in a location
that has a clear view of the Iridium and GPS satellites. Aircraft systems that interface with the
Airbus Iridium SATCOM System must be installed and operational.
These tests also require the AFIRS system activated on the Iridium network by FLYHT, and a
valid SIM card installed in the SCM. Ensure that the ORT configuration ATS Enabled (Yes/No)
matches the SIM card type installed.
8.1.3.1 Date, Time, and Position Tests
1. Open the MUI to display the AFIRS Home page.
2. Confirm that the correct date, time, and position (UTC) information is displayed.
3. If the Internal GPS is configured as Active, the MUI display is showing AFIRS GPS and
the GPS Link is displayed green.
8.1.3.2 Datalink Tests
1. Confirm on the MUI that the ISVM and ISDM Links are green, and the MCDU SATCOM
STATUS page displays LOGGED-ON.
