GENERAL

COMM MENU
The air-ground communications functions and services are active as soon
as their initialization is complete.
NOTE: The AUDIT PRINT PAGE SET OFF function is used to disable
this function directly from this page without having to get access
to the AUDIT page.
COMM CONFIG
The initialization through COMM CONFIG menu is considered as
completed when the Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU) has received a
valid aircraft registration number, airline identification and scan mask.
The aircraft registration number and airline identification are used in
the air/ground communication as aircraft addressing means. The VHF3
SCAN SEL gives an ordered list of authorized service providers usable
for data communications.
VHF3 DATA MODE
The VHF3 DATA MODE page shows the various regions, which can
be selected. Each region is associated with a data link service provider
and a frequency.

VHF3 VOICE DIRECTORY

The VHF3 VOICE DIRECTORY page fulfills the following functions:
- display a voice frequency directory,
- activate one of these frequencies,
- select the data mode,
- activate the voice frequency contained in the last received CO CALL
message,
- manually enter a frequency.

COMM STATUS
The COMM STATUS pages are used to verify the communication
status of ATSU:
- the air/ground communication media status; VHF3, SATCOM (if
installed) and HF 1 only (if HFDR installed),
- the communication (router) status of the on-board peripherals.
MAINTENANCE STATUS
The MAINTENANCE menu is composed of three functions:
- TEST, which is used to test the link between the communication
media (VHF3, SATCOM and HF if installed) and the ground,
- STATISTICS used for media and router statistics: number of up
linked messages, number of down linked messages,
- AUDIT to print out exchanged messages per media and router
depending on selection.

AOC MENU
The AOC MENU can be customized and gives access to the hosted AOC
applications loaded in the ATSU. The CONFIG function gives access to
a SYSTEM CONFIG page to verify that the correct AOC software (S/W)
and data base Part Number (PN) have been successfully loaded into the
ATSU.

ATSU ROUTER INIT & TESTS THROUGH MCDU (2)

INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE OF THE ATSU ROUTER
GENERAL
This procedure, called initialization of the Air Traffic Service Unit
(ATSU) router, enables the air-ground communications functions and
services of the ATSU to be activated. Four essential parameters are
required:
- A/C ICAO CODE (24bit address sent by the ATC Transponders),
- a valid airline identification (ACARS and STANDARD A/L ID),
- a valid A/C registration number (A/C REGISTR) and,
- a valid scan mask.
Otherwise, the DATALINK ATSU FAULT+ ATSU INIT FAULT
amber warnings are displayed on the Engine/Warning Display (EWD).
NOTE: According to the pin programming activated on the Flight

Warning Computer (FWC) ("ACARS installed" or "ATSU
installed"), the ACARS STBY green memo is displayed
instead of the DATALINK ATSU FAULT+ATSU INIT
FAULT warning.
A/C REGISTRATION NUMBER AND FLIGHT
IDENTIFICATION
UG913131 - U4UT1M0 - UM46Y1000000001
The A/C registration number is sent by the Centralized Fault Display

Interface Unit (CFDIU). The ATSU creates the flight identification
by concatenating the airline identification parameter and the flight
number parameter coming from the Flight Management and Guidance
Computer (FMGC). The airline identification is not available and
must be entered.

(continued)
SCAN MASK VALIDATION
The last parameter required is the scan mask validation. The three
VHF SCAN SELECT pages give an ordered list of service providers
usable for VHF data communications. TEST TLS and TEST HAM
are activated only for test and shall not be selected for airline
operations. The NEW SCAN SELECT function is used to erase the
previous selection. The VHF3 SCAN MASK is compulsory for the
router operation.

INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE OF THE ATSU ROUTER - SCAN MASK VALIDATION

(continued)
SCAN MASK VALIDATION (CON'T)
The scan mask must be a prioritized list of VHF service providers
contracted by the airline. Select one or more service providers in the
appropriate priority order to compose the scan mask. SITA EUR/AFR
and ARINC AFRICA are selected as an example. The SCAN SEL
ACTIVATE allows the new selection to be loaded into the ATSU.
To finalize the initialization the CONFIG ACTIVATE LSK in the
COMM CONFIG menu must be pressed. When the initialization of
the ATSU router is completed, the DATALINK ATSU FAULT +
ATSU INIT FAULT warning goes off.

VHF3 DATA MODE PAGE
A last check in the VHF3 DATA MODE page is required. The VHF3
DATA MODE page displays the data link service providers selected
in the VHF3 SCAN SELECT menu. The initialization of the ATSU
router is completed.

OPERATIONAL TEST
VOICE MODE TEST
This procedure, called operational test of the ATSU, serves to check
the ATSU router configuration and test the voice mode. The
initialization of the ATSU router is completed. The ATSU
automatically controls data frequencies in the order defined in the
VHF3 SCAN SELECT menu, but a service provider can be manually
selected. The VHF3 VOICE DIRECTORY page serves:
- to activate one of the displayed frequencies configured by the Airline
Operational Control (AOC) application,
- to activate the voice frequency requested by the ground (CO CALL),
- to manually enter a frequency and,
- to go back to data mode.
When the OPS frequency is activated (132.225 given as an example),
the ATSU controls the VHF3 frequency in VOICE mode. On the
Radio Management Panel (RMP), the DATA indication stays in view
in the active window. In this mode, communication tests with the
ground can be done.

OPERATIONAL TEST (continued)
CONFIGURATION CHECK
The modified configuration through the VHF3 DATA MODE is
checked. Then, a come back to the DATA MODE is performed. The
COMM STATUS pages are used to verify the communication status
of ATSU:
- the air/ground communication media status: VHF3, SATCOM (if
installed) and HF (if HFDR installed),
- the communication (router) status of the on-board peripherals.

VHF3 LINK TEST
ATSU INITIALIZATION CHECK
This procedure, called VHF3 link test of the ATSU, checks the VHF3
link between the A/C and the ground. A check of the ATSU
initialization is done through the VHF3 DATA MODE menu, the
VHF3 VOICE DIRECTORY menu and the COMM STATUS menu.
VHF3 must be operational, the VHF3 link available and in DATA
mode.

result of this test confirms that the communication link between VHF3
and the ground is operational.
