Where Does The Data Go? Previously, we only discussed what happens inside the WQAR But what happens when the data leaves the aircraft? What obstacles does it have to cross? What environment needs to be set up to properly receive the data? How does it get over to the engineers for analysis? Do you need the cooperation of your IT department?

Wireless Groundlink® ACARS over WGL

What is ACARS? Enables the aircrew to send and receive reports and other important data Primarily uses the aircraft VHF radio Line of sight Not all airports are in a good location Can use SATCOM Wider coverage but more expensive Not everyone has it Examples: Destination weather reports Aircraft maintenance & operations reports Other important news Use shall be in accordance with the title page of this presentation

What is ACARS over WGL? The WQAR uses Cellular Technology Replaces SATCOM or HF radio ACARS will primarily use VHF The WQAR will kick in . . . Only works when the aircraft is on the ground When the WQAR is in the middle of a “phone call” Use shall be in accordance with the title page of this presentation

WGBS: Last download more than 10 hours for remote ID 0012. ‘TDYTEST’ Data Options: Allows simulated data to be forwarded to Airfase 16 10 mailserver.yourcompany.com BaseStation1 <enter> ‘Send ’ Options: How often Tracked by Aircraft To Whom Clock Options: Sends Time to WQAR Allows for Lag Time Use shall be in accordance with the title page of this presentation

Use shall be in accordance with the title page of this presentation

General Configuration
Each Base Station in your company has an ID number. Most companies have one base station. The Base Station PC must have a static IP address set. You set the Base Station to that same IP. The TCP Port used to talk to the Monitoring module which can be on a different computer. Base Station Settings The speed of your companies’ internet connection goes here. This number is used for load handling purposes. NOT USED AT THIS TIME If checked, the PC will reboot if the service or PC crashes for any reason. If data transfers exceed this amount of your data rate, the base station will tell the WQAR to call back later. If checked, Base Station will log any significant messages during down/up loading. If told to call back later, the WQAR will call back in this many minutes. Use shall be in accordance with the title page of this presentation

GFTP Configuration WQAR Settings
UDP ports used to communicate with the WQARs. This Teledyne proprietary flavor of FTP is called GFTP or WFTP. After the specified number of days, any stalled data will be automatically deleted. After the specified number of days, any completed downloads will be deleted. While data is down/up loading, it will be stored in these folders. Every communiqué between the Base Station and the WQARs is numbered. WQAR Settings Various Network Settings Requires that a WQAR keeps the same IP address during the entire transmission. Once the data completed down/up loading, it is moved to these folders. Use shall be in accordance with the title page of this presentation

Use shall be in accordance with the title page of this presentation

WFFTP Configuration AirFase Settings
The Base Station and AirFase send messages (not data) to each other through this TCP port. This messaging protocol is called WFFTP. Specifying the IP address will help the Base Station keep track of transmissions. This enables the Base Station to talk to one AirFase PC. AirFase Settings Selecting this will enable the Base Station to keep track of two AirFase PCs. Selecting this tells the Base Station to dump a copy of its data into a resident web server. The web server folder is specified here. Use shall be in accordance with the title page of this presentation

WFFTP Configuration Remember: You must stop and restart the Base Station Service for any changes to take effect AirFase Settings Use shall be in accordance with the title page of this presentation
