How do I make peace with the Aircell BroadBand in Roberts Falcon 900 SN 143?

Dassault F900 s/n 143 N24FJ

F900 s/n 143

ATG 2000 P/N     P15864-002    S/N 1586400214543

 

First of all….The WIFI SSID that shows up on the face of your phone MUST BE N24FJ_WIFI.  If the network shows up as LINKSYS on your Wireless on your phone>>>> Do not waste time troubleshooting the system.   Any fix you implement now will soon be lost and you will be stuck in a endless circle.  Order a CTR exchange and configure it correctly.

 

When you are ready to get into the system:

Hint s and tricks about logging into the units:

 

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS  ____Turn OFF_____ the wireless connection on you laptop before you attempt to connect to the WIRED connection on the ATG or CTR.

Try a connection with the wired connection.

If you have trouble hitting the units from the wired connection at the 500JT Panel:

Try setting up a laptop with a Static IP address of 192.168.1.50 for the LAN connection.  This will be required if there is a problem with the ATG….beccause the ATG ____ONLY____ provides DHCP services to other devises on the network.

 

___DO NOT ALLOW the CTR to provide DHCP services___
REMEMBER: If you do set the laptop to STATIC IP, you will not be able to use the laptop as a normal user on the network.

After a reboot, the ATG takes 7 minutes to come up. During that time you will have no DHCP Services on the network.  So a STATIC IP connection will come up fine, but a DHCP request connection will take the full 7 minutes or more…..frustrating.

How could ASCB wires break at the splices?

 

Here is the one with heatshrink strain relief after the splices.

here is the failure due to rough handling throughout the years. The ASCB buss splices are so strong they do not flex at all.  All flex occurs right at the beginning of the 24 AWG wire after the splice

Here is another example of a environmental splice broken due to hard manipulation of the harness over the years.

what are a few thing that should occur on the flight to input into maintenance

I cannot remember if I sent you the details for the crew….

Some time during the final flight before maintenance…..

Before takeoff be sure to set the FDR gmt and trip number.

1.
fly the autopilot on LAFCS master, and some portion of the flight fly on RAFCS master.

2.  Press FDR event at any time while in flight.

During the final 20 minutes of flight, transmit to atc from the pilots side as well as the copilot side.

After landing

1. Pull “CVR” (or “VOICE RECORD”) and FDR (Or “FLIGHT RECORD”) circuit braker when clear of the runway.

2. For a F900 B, try to retrieve the autopilot fault codes from the ID802.

How do I make peace with the broadband in VP-BMB

Aircell

VP-BMB Broad band QuickGuide:

The Airstream AOC Router is found at 192.168.0.1 user admin pw flightstream

I modified the Proxy and so-on with Jo Krimsrieter on the phone. Screen captures below.

The 5040 box is found at 192.168. 1 . 10  user: admin: PW 1234

as I left it June 20, 2014, the DHCP SERVER is OFF in the 5040 box. That is contrary to the wishes of Chis Habina.

Back on, now that we understand that the 5040 connection is on the WAN side of the AOC Wireless router

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Access the 5040 through the face…. Under the 3rd floorboard.

Or through the  VIP right drink ledge.

192.168.0.1 brings you to the splash screen.

Notes

Here is the 5040. Dashboard

While in the 5040 box I set ADMINISTRATION> LAN>     DHCP  > DISABLED……that is contrary to Chris Habinas wishes.

Here are craigs notes after getting started on the Cobham 5040

Here is the screen shots while configurng

 

Here is some notes while Jo had me button clicking inside the FlightStream

DNS to 192.168.0.1

Static IP to 192.168.0.200  /24

Gateway to 192.168.0.1

 

Not sure if I entirely follow that logic.

How to I troubleshoot a Honeywell 880 radar

Here are some example faults

 

880 has RS 232 troubleshooting port out of the RT base.

Roll Cal proceedure

To exit force standby , STAB button 4 times in 3 seconds. Remember a 870 is different, some combination of push and hold 3 buttons.

Pilot Event Marker

(1) A pilot event marker is created by operating the switch on the GAIN control for two

cycles (pull out, push in, pull out, push in). A full set of parameters at that instant is

stored in the fault log. This can be useful if the pilot senses that there may be

something abnormal with the radar operation, but no fault code is being shown. This

data must be read using the RS–232 port.
