Abstract
The invention relates to an easy-to-transport avionics test server for on-site (without removing from the plane) testing of IFE (In-Flight Entertainment) servers, which are components of in-flight entertainment systems, containing counterparts of all the interfaces on the IFE server, capable of generating all the signals the aircraft sends to the cabled IFE server and analyzing the responses.
Claims1
A portable avionics test server for on-site testing of in-flight entertainment servers, which are components of in-flight entertainment systems used on passenger aircrafts, and it is characterized in that;
- it comprises:
- a processor, to which all the components are connected, and which can control all the interfaces,
- discrete signal switches generating “Weight on Wheels”, “Parkbrake Set”, “Door Closed”, “PA Amplifier” signals generated by the plane,
- USB ports used for keyboard, mouse, USB memory connection,
- Ethernet ports with 1 Gpbs speed used for testing high speed Ethernet lines,
- ARINC 419 ports generating speed, altitude, latitude, longitude, location etc. data generated by the plane and transmitting the same to the unit to be tested,
- ARINC 717 ports generating and receiving the ARINC 717 signals generated by the plane,
- an RS-232 port for testing RS-232 signals,
- an RS-485 port for testing RS-485 signals,
- an RS-422 port for testing RS-422 signals,
- analog audio ports for testing analog audio input/output ports.
