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.

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 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.

How do I make peace with Baker Audio switching….MHE

The software is called MHcom

 

In BMB the 9 pin test port is in the right mid-cabin cabinet.

 

Buss terminators are there also on the Tstrip.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The buss at any/every pin 3 to 4 must read 60 ohms, that is 1 120 OHM resistor on each end of the buss.

 

THEN go to MH com

 

here is the initial hookup
