TABLE OF CONTENTS
The AVIONICS DOMAIN is accessible from the cockpit, from the cabin
and from additional areas on the A/C, through various interfaces, which
are:
-The CAPT and the F/O Onboard Information Terminals (OITs) with
their keyboard and Additional Control Device (ACD) mainly dedicated
to the flight crew,
-The Onboard Maintenance Terminal (OMT), including a media drive
(Compact Disk (CD) reader/writer and Digital Video Disk (DVD) reader),
dedicated to the maintenance staff,
-The PMATs dedicated to maintenance staff (PMAT is a ground support
equipment),
-The main and upper deck Flight Attendant Panels (FAPs) dedicated to
the cabin crew,
-And the Printer-1, installed on the pedestal, dedicated to flight crew and
maintenance staff.
Two switches called "OIT SIDE" switches are used to display on each
OIT data, from applications hosted either in the AVIONICS or FLIGHT
OPERATIONS DOMAINs.
Two Units called OIT-Terminal Processor Unit (TPU) are dedicated to
process the data coming from OIT keyboard and Additional Control
Device (ACD) and the data coming from the FLIGHT OPERATIONS
DOMAIN.
The OITs display the OIS applications hosted either in both ANSUs-OPS
or CAPT and F/O laptops.
The PMAT, located in the upper avionics bay, gives access to OIS
maintenance applications through 9 dedicated network plugs installed in
the A/C (forward Lower Deck Cargo Compartment (LDCC), main
avionics bay, upper avionics bay, refuel panel, nose landing gear, aft
lower LDCC, aft avionics bay, OMT rack and APU compartment).
A "GND CONNECTION" P/B allows:
-In ON position (P/B pressed in), the PMAT to be connected to the SIRU,
-In released out position, the PMAT to be disconnected from the SIRU.
The main and upper FAPs give access to the CCOM and the cabin
logbook.
Two NSS Control Units (NCUs) are dedicated to control the power up
and power down of certain NSS LRUs.
A FAN is mounted on the ARU-OPS, 2 and the ANSU-OPS, 2 to provide
backup ventilation in case of loss of the main avionics bay ventilation.
The main protocol of communication used in the open world is the
Ethernet.
SCI-CDAM
The AVIONICS WORLD and the OPEN WORLD need to exchange
data to each other. Depending on their type, data are sent either through
CDAM or SCIs.
The CDAM fulfills an unidirectional gateway function for A/C parameters
coming from LRUs and LRMs and going to specific OIS applications.
This gateway function converts AFDX and ARINC 429 data into Ethernet.
The SCI fulfills a bidirectional gateway and security functions for various
data, exchanged between various LRUs and OIS applications.
These LRUs are:
-PDMCs for the control of the Electronic C/Bs. This is in Ethernet format,
-LRUs for OMS data, Ground/Flight data, etc. These data are converted
by both SCIs from discrete or ARINC 429 format into Ethernet format
and vice versa.
-LRUs and LRMs, through the ADCN, for OMS data. These data are
converted by both SCIs from AFDX format into Ethernet format and vice
versa.
There are two SCIs for redundancy purpose. Only a single SCI at a time,
the one declared "active", exchanges data between AVIONICS WORLD
and OPEN WORLD.
The SCI toggles between passive and active status in two conditions:
after 6 hours of operation and in flight phase number 12.
Both SCIs exchange their health data in Ethernet format and their
active/inactive status in discrete format to each other.
A "NSS DATA TO AVNCS" P/B allows:
-In pressed in position, data to flow in both directions between the OPEN
WORLD and AVIONICS WORLD,
-In OFF position (P/B released out) data to flow from the AVIONICS
WORLD to the OPEN WORLD only.

OIT Switching
The display of the OIS applications running either in the AVIONICS or
FLIGHT OPERATIONS DOMAINs requires various components, which
are:
-An OIT to process, convert into Digital Video Interface (DVI) standard,
and to display on its screen OIS applications, keyboard and ACD input
data.
-An OIT keyboard to edit data and select parameters with its included
touchpad.
Note that the output data of the keyboard, touchpad and ACD are coded
in Proposed Serial 2 (PS2) standard.
-An OIT ACD to perform basic operations with the OIT.
-An "OIT" potentiometer to switch the OIT and OIT-TPU ON or OFF
and to adjust the brightness level of the OIT screen,
-An OIT TPU to process and convert into digital video format (DVI
standard) OIS applications data and OIT keyboard and ACD input data.
-An "OIT SIDE" switch to display AVIONICS DOMAIN OIS application
when the switch is in the "NSS AVNCS" position or to display FLIGHT
OPERATIONS DOMAINs OIS application when the switch is in the
"FLT OPS" position.

NCU
The "NSS AVNCS" C/B are used to fully reset:
through the NCU 1:
-The ANSU-OPS 1,
-The ARU-OPS 1,
-The CAPT OIT,
-The OMT,
through the NCU 2:
- The ANSU-OPS 2,
-The ARU-OPS 2,
-The F/O OIT,
-The SIRU.
The "NSS FLT OPS" C/B are used to fully reset through the NCU 2:
-The ANSU-AFMR,
-The ARU-AFMR.
The power down lasts 120 seconds and the power up 140 seconds
approximately.
To carry out maintenance operations, the NSS servers can request, through
the NCUs, the power up and power down of the NSS LRUs (called:
"REMOTE ON/OFF REQUESTS").
In case of NCU unavailability, the ANSUs can do the same operations
through the routers (called: "BACKUP ON/OFF REQUESTS").
Each NSS LRU sends, through the NCU, their 115 VAC status (presence
or not of power supply) to the dedicated ANSU for maintenance need.

System
On ground, on battery and the "REMOTE C/B CTL" P/B pressed in, the
AC EMER BUS supplies:
-The SCI 1,
-The ARU-OPS 2,
-The ANSU-OPS 2,
-The NCU 2,
-The OMT.
This configuration gives the mechanics access to the Power Distribution
Control System (PDCS) on the OMT in order to control the remote C/Bs.
The "NSS MASTER SW", when released out, activates a hard shut down
of NSS LRUs installed in this upper avionics bay 2900VU (in case of
smoke detection).
The AC BUS 4 supplies the nose landing gear, aft LDCC and aft avionics
bay plugs.
On the OMT rack and in the APU compartment, the PMAT is powered
by its own battery.

NETWORK SERVER SYSTEM & ONBOARD INFORMATION SYSTEM (COMMUNICATION & CABIN
DOMAIN) DESCRIPTION (3)
Each leaky line is connected to both CWLUs through coaxial links. The
four leaky lines cover the total length of the main and upper deck cabin.
An airline cabin laptop may be connected to dedicated plugs, one located
at the door M1R, and one at the front face of the CNSU-PAX, for
maintenance purpose (e.g. to access to the LMF application).
The type of connection between this airline cabin laptop and these plugs
is RJ45 at the door M1R, and RJ45 or USB at the front face of the
CNSU-PAX.
A "NSS CABIN" C/B is used to reset the CNSU-PAX, the CRU-COM
and the CWLUs.
The "PAX SYS" P/B, when released out, activates a hard shut down of
all CWLUs (in case of smoke detection).
The COMMUNICATION and CABIN DOMAIN routes data coming
from the AVIONICS DOMAIN for the CVMS (e.g.: flight number) and
the (IFE) system (e.g.: airshow data).
