1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 The AEROCOM 1000 CTU (Cabin Telecommunications Unit)

The AEROCOM 1000 is an intelligent and independent telephony switch that provides
features typically available only through a telephone companies' "Central Office" facility
or large switching platform. This product maintains many of the features of the
commercial models of ICG Communication Integrators while providing additional
features and capacity to support aeronautical applications. This device has been
developed for the small to intermediate size executive aircraft market. The devices’
capacity is limited to support of 8 user devices (Extensions) and up to 4 analog bearer
channels (Transceiver connections). For applications requiring additional circuits the
AEROCOM 3000 CTU may provide the correct solution.

The primary feature of this versatile platform is it contains all of the necessary telephony
building blocks and components to support virtually any custom configuration or
requirement that a customer may have in the future.

1.2 Major Assemblies

The AEROCOM 1000 CTU design is based upon the latest in Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) technology. The device is a totally digital system, which provides a host of
enhanced telephony features and functions. It operates under a customized operating
system similar to a PC style computer, yet has no moving parts or drives.

1.2.1 Chassis

The AEROCOM 1000 chassis is a standard 2 MCU size chassis. All wiring connections
are via an industry standard Arinc 600 Size 1 connector on the back panel. An additional
standard DB-9 male connector resides on the front of the chassis to support local
programming, diagnostics and monitoring.

1.2.2 CPU

The AEROCOM 1000 utilizes the latest in Z80 processor technology. In addition to the
processor, the device also provides serial port control and parallel port control. The
AEROCOM 1000 system also contains RAM memory and “Flash” memory that stores
the configuration and system software.

During the start-up routine the AEROCOM 1000 will load the system operating software
and the customer configuration settings from the "Flash E-Rom" to the RAM for
operation.

Section 1 - Page 1
V1.1 Dec ‘01

1.2.3 Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

Each AEROCOM 1000 has several DSP devices to provide facilities for progress tone
detection, call progress monitoring, DISA, DTMF tone decoding and generation, specific
tone generation and detection and digital echo suppression.

1.2.4 Telephone Circuits

The AEROCOM 1000 provides connections to many telephony devices and transceiver
circuits. The circuits are designed to meet the industry standard EIA 465 specification.

1.2.4.1 Subscriber (Extension) Circuits

The AEROCOM 1000 provides up to 8 circuits for connections of telephony devices. The
circuits are a 2-wire tip and ring circuit.

1.2.4.2 Trunk (CO) Circuits

The AEROCOM 1000 CTU provides 4 circuits for connection to transceivers or

outbound circuits. Each circuit can be configured for a standard 2-wire telephone circuit
or 4-wire circuits with discreet hook switch and incoming ring signaling. Digital echo
suppression is available when required for applications involving geosynchronous
satellite networks or other systems with inherent transit delays.

1.2.5 Power Supplies

The AEROCOM 1000 has a single internal power supply that operates with 28VDC
aircraft power. The supply provides: +5 vdc, +12 vdc, -12 vdc and -24 vdc. The -24 VDC
supply is installed to provide "loop battery" for the telephone circuits and provides the
supply voltage for the ringer assembly.

1.2.6 Ringer Circuit

The AEROCOM 1000 has a high voltage ringer circuit. The ring signal is a North
American 20 Hz at 80 vrms but can be configured for other ring frequencies to support
connection of telephony devices that require other ring signal frequencies. The ring signal
is derived from the -24 VDC supply. The ring signal is a sine wave with “0” crossover
providing operation with all types of devices.

1.3 Features and Functions

Following is a list of functions and features offered by the AEROCOM 1000 CTU:

- Multi- Media Integration and Support

- Cross Point and Custom Switching
- Call Progress and Answer Supervision Detection

Section 1 - Page 2
V1.1 Dec ‘01

- Bi-directional voice prompts

- PABX Features: CDR, DISA, Ring-down, Outbound, Inbound and Ext. to Ext. Calling
- Voice or Fax tone (CNG) recognition and switching.
- Class of service restrictions to support third party billing.
- Restoration, Automatic Media Selection and Least Cost Routing
- Common dialing structure regardless of network or medium
- Call accounting, reporting and billing services
- Three-Party Conference Calling.

1.3.1. Unattended Operation

The ICG devices eliminate the complexity of selecting and operating various mobile
communications systems. The call initiator, whether a person, fax machine or data
modem, dials any familiar format, the standard North American or European dialing plan.
The ICG devices perform the necessary special dialing codes to support the various
communications media. Incoming calls are routed directly to the proper pre-determined
extension, fax machine, or data terminal without manual intervention, providing true
unattended operation.

Incoming calls can be transferred to other extensions and the unit can be configured to
automatically transfer an incoming call to a particular extension if an incoming call is not
answered within a designated number of rings.

The devices provide Direct Inward Selection Access (DISA), whereby incoming calls are
answered and a new dial tone is presented to the ground-side caller. Optionally, a voice
prompt is incorporated to instruct the caller which extension to dial, if not known. All
incoming faxes are automatically routed to the fax extension. If no extension is selected,
the call will be routed to whichever extension is designated as the default. Once
answered, incoming calls can be transferred to other extensions. Selection of the most
appropriate medium, optimal call routing, fine-tuning of all transmitters and receivers to
accommodate the selected circuit and type of communication; logging the date, time,
duration, destination, and the name of the call initiator; logging essential data for
incoming traffic; prohibiting unauthorized use of certain channels, and authorizing use of
other channels: all these functions are now performed automatically.

1.3.2. Call Accounting ( Option)

The ICG devices have an option to retain and print accurate and complete records of all
communications, which are routed through them. A typical print-out will show:
Who initiated the call
Medium selected to process the call
Destination number called
Call duration
An Account code ( PIN number, CC Number, Folio Number, Debit Card )
Incoming Calls (medium, when, length)
Answer Supervision with response

Note: this option is typically not used in aeronautical applications. If this feature is
required, contact ICG for set-up and use of this feature.

Section 1 - Page 3
V1.1 Dec ‘01

1.3.3. Call Management

To authorize, preclude, constrain, monitor, control, or limit the use of communications

circuits, the ICG devices provide a highly sophisticated array of managerial software
configurations. Each extension can be individually programmed with an infinite
combination of features to provide the exact administration desired. Configurations range
from unrestricted access to complete prohibition of outbound or inbound calls. Other
levels of control can be incorporated, such as requiring Personal Identification Number
(PIN) use, credit card or debit card insertion, or collect calling.

For example, by assigning only "Ring on Incoming" an attendant’s extension can be

limited to receiving calls, as no authorization is given for outgoing calls. It is also
possible to restrict communication circuit access so that certain extensions will allow
cellular or NATS calling but not satellite.

The CTUs can even be programmed to disallow access to all communications systems, a
useful feature that enables the operator to close off all communications facilities during
periods of hanger-work or in military application.

Extensions requiring the use of PIN numbers provide a "Bong" or voice prompt,
requiring the caller to enter a valid prearranged code before continuing. This not only
restricts use of that particular extension to authorized personnel, but also accommodates
call accounting and third party billing.

1.3.4. Least Cost Routing

The Communications Integrators incorporate algorithms, which automatically scan all

available communication mediums and select the least expensive, unless configured to
select a specified route for a specified extension. However, if least-cost routing is desired,
the Integrator algorithms determine the most cost-effective circuit. A combination of
customized routing situations can be implemented.

1.3.5. Call Supervision

Safeguards are provided for all aspects of operation. The ICG Integrators provide
protection against misrouted and no-connect calls to preclude unwarranted charges and to
assure that automatic devices or human callers do not tie up the communication circuits
unnecessarily. These safeguards are in place both for outbound and incoming calls.

Detection of speech, answer, and tones are separately provided in each ICG CTU. These
constitute the criteria for continuing a call. In the absence of all three, time out
parameters, configured to meet the customer's needs, are activated to "tear down" the
circuit, thus making it available to others.

Largely as a result of the complex suite of sophisticated equipment and communications

systems now available, knowing which circuits, methods, routing, and equipment to use
for optimal efficiency presents a challenge to the operator. As no single blend of circuits,
methods or routing is best for all objectives, the operator's task is further complicated by
the need to adjust the communications equipment to perform effectively each time a new
combination is selected.

Section 1 - Page 4
V1.1 Dec ‘01

The ICG communications devices, all share a common formula: any number of
subscribers, whether human, fax, or computer modems, are automatically and optimally
connected to any number of communications channels, such as satellite, cellular, or
NATS circuits.

1.4 Interface PCBs and Communications Networks

2.0 OPERATOR’S GUIDE

2.1 User’s Guide

The AEROCOM 1000 Communication Integrators offer many features and

configurations designed to make aircraft communications systems convenient and easy to
use.

The following pages describe the AEROCOM 1000 capabilities and offer examples of
their operation. These should assist the user in understanding the operation of the system
and make it as easy to use as an office telephone.

2.2 Dialing Instructions

OUT-GOING CALLS

AEROCOM 1000 devices automatically route outbound calls via the least expensive
communication medium (unless special medium is specified). AEROCOM 1000 detects
the presence of various services available to the aircraft and will route the call via the
least expensive medium.

The AEROCOM 1000 devices offer simplified dialing so that it is not necessary to dial
special codes for differing communication mediums. The AEROCOM 1000 uses the
North American Dialing Plan (NADP), European Dialing plan or a Custom-dialing plan
and the devices automatically convert the dialing scheme to that required by the various
available communication mediums. All dialing is continuous and there is no requirement
to recognize any special satellite tones or associated special dialing. If an error is made
in dialing or the area code format or the number plan is incorrect, AEROCOM 1000 will
not complete the call.

2.3 Special Dialing Codes and Tones

2.3.1 BONG Tone - This tone prompts the caller to enter a valid PIN number, or in some
cases a credit card number, before the call is routed.

2.3.2 CALL PROGRESS Tones - The AEROCOM 1000 devices produce the standard
set of telephone tones such as busy, ring back, reorder, dial tone, etc.

2.3.3 Dialing Restrictions - All of the above dialing formats may not be available to all
extensions. In many instances the AEROCOM 1000 device is set up to provide
restrictions to all or some of the outbound communication mediums. As an example, the
flight-deck handset may require a PIN number entry prior to allowing an outbound call,
or a particular extension may allow only credit card or operator assisted calling with no
direct select capability. A third example is an extension, which may allow outbound calls
via lesser expensive communications mediums such as NATS or Aircell but not more
expensive Aeronautical satellite service.

Section 2 - Page 1
V3.0-010310

These varying levels of restriction are referred to as the "Class of Service" (COS)
restrictions. The COS restrictions are defined by the COS table and can be assigned to
any extensions. When calling from an extension, if re-order tone (fast busy) or a voice
message disallowing the call is heard, that extension is configured to disallow your
selected type of call.

2.3.4 Digit Edit - The AEROCOM 1000 devices recognize misdialed numbers, invalid
country codes or inadequate digit length to support different types of calls. If you
misdial, the AEROCOM 1000 device will pass reorder tone or a voice message to the
caller as a prompt to hang up and try the call again.

2.3.5 Extension-To-Extension Dialing - To call from one onboard extension to another,

simply pick up the phone and dial the two-digit extension you wish. You will hear the
ring signal on the selected extension or receive a busy signal if it is engaged.

2.3.6 Defined Extension Assignments – extensions on the Aerocom 1000 CTU can be
assigned a Class of Service that defines the equipment connected to the particular
extension. The three choices are: Voice (telephone), Fax (fax machine) or Data (PC
Modem). When a device type is assigned via COS, the special dialing codes required by
various communications mediums are automatically inserted so the user only dials a
familiar dialing convention and is not required to know the special codes required.
Facilities are available to over-ride the defined extension type and permit identifying the
type of call to be placed via a single prefix digit. As an example a telephone extension
will permit fax or data calls by dialing an “8” or “9” single digit ahead of the normal
dialing structure.

2.4 Ground to Air Calling

There are three methods of inbound access: "Ring-In", DISA or Auto-Fax Detect.

2.4.1 RING-IN - In Ring-In mode, incoming calls will ring the telephone that is
programmed to be the direct ring phone for the trunk line that the call is received on. For
example, if Ext. 11 was programmed to ring on all calls incoming on a trunk line, an
incoming call would ring Ext. 11. If it were engaged it would ring an alternate extension.

2.4.2 DISA - Direct Inward Station Access allows ground-side callers to directly call an
extension or device onboard. The procedure is simple; the shore-side caller hears three
ringbacks from the communications system through which they are calling and,
depending on the desired configuration, they will either receive a new dial tone or voice
prompts. The dial tone or voice prompts are produced by the AEROCOM 1000 devices.
The caller can directly select extensions: it is not necessary to wait for the speech or dial
tone to complete. Naturally, once the call is answered by an extension there is no further
selection available. The call must now be transferred by the answering party to another
extension. If no digits are received and the AEROCOM 1000 detects a fax CNG tone, it
will automatically route the cal to the Fax extension.

2.4.3 AUTO FAX DETECT - in this mode, the incoming call is answered by the
AEROCOM 1000 and fictitious ring backs are sent to the calling party. During a brief

Section 2 - Page 2
V3.0-010310

period the device will interrogate the inbound call for fax CNG tone (Beep transmitted by
the calling fax machine every 3 seconds). If CNG tone is detected the call is switched to
the fax extension. If CNG tone is not detected, the call is switched to the default
telephone set determined to receive inbound calls.

2.4.4 DEFAULT PHONE - In DISA mode, an extension is assigned as the default

phone. If the calling party does not initiate digits to select an extension within ten
seconds, or is dialing from a rotary/pulse phone or selects improperly, this extension will
ring. (In Ring-In mode, there is no default extension as the extension assigned to a
particular CO rings on the incoming call.)

2.4.5 CALL TRANSFERRING - If a call is answered on one extension and must be

transferred to another, the party answering the call simply flashes the hook switch
(momentarily depress the telephone hook switch for less than 1 second) and upon
receiving new dial tone, dials another extension. Hanging up his extension will
automatically transfer the call, or he can wait on the line for an answer and announce the
call before he hangs up. If he has hung up and the extension he has transferred the call to
does not answer within 5 rings, the call will transfer back to him and ring his extension.
If he does not hang up and no answer is forthcoming, he can flash the hook switch again
to reconnect to the ground-side caller.

2.4.6 FAX TRANSFER - Incoming faxes are automatically connected to the onboard fax
machine, as the AEROCOM 1000 detects the fax identifier tones transmitted by most
GRPIII fax machines (1100 hz Beep every three seconds). Aircraft personnel should be
aware that no rings may be heard but the fax machine will start automatically.

NOTE: Automatic fax transfer is possible only, when direct machine-to-machine

connections are made.

Ground-side parties sending faxes to the mobile unit should be made aware that fax
machines only transmit their CNG identifier tones if the fax is originated from the
sending fax's keyboard and not from the fax telephone handset. If the fax is initiated
from the fax's telephone handset, no identifier tones are produced and the AEROCOM
1000 device will regard the call as a voice call. In this case, the sender must dial the fax
extension when DISA new-dial tone or voice prompts are received.

2.4.7 Default Software - ICG provides the aircraft with software for the AEROCOM
1000 that is compatible with the communication equipment onboard and with the
customer's requested method of operation. This default software can be changed during
installation but it is intended that, should a problem arise, the AEROCOM 1000 will
always provide reliable communications operation for the aircraft without wholesale
programming to make the factory software compatible with the onboard equipment.

2.5 User Programming

During installation, all previously undefined programming parameters are accomplished

by the installer. This programming is done to define what Satcom model is used, routing
sequences, audio levels for data, DISA, classes of service restrictions, and a number of
other installer-specific items which do not need to be changed after the installation has
been completed. The user has access to recording voice prompts, only.

2.6 Aircraft Internal Features

Voice Prompt Recording and Playbacks

The AEROCOM 1000 is capable of providing voice prompts for a variety of uses. Voice
prompts are used to alert the caller to errors in the dialing process, to prompt for
accounting information, to provide instructions and announcements and to notify callers
of equipment status or failures relative to the transmission facilities. These voice prompts
are pre-recorded or can be recorded using a handset on the aircraft. The voice prompts
can be changed as often as the aircraft owner/operator desires. The prompts are cataloged
in the AEROCOM 1000 by a message number that identifies when the prompt will be
used. Below is a list of frequently used messages and their uses. It is not advisable to
record any messages that are used for equipment or network status, diagnostics or alarms.

Many of the following messages are pre-recorded by ICG. Messages which are unique
and customized for the aircraft installation such as “the DISA greeting message are only
pre-recorded if they are intended to be used. The user or installer can record or change
any message as required. If a message is not recorded, this event is ignored by the system
at the time the message should be playing and call processing continues unabated.

Recording a Voice Prompt -To record a voice prompt, pick up a handset and dial “#5 xx
“ where “xx” is the message number to be recorded. At the sound of the “Beep” begin
speaking and hang-up when recording is complete.

Playback a Message - To play a message, pick up a handset and dial “#6xx”, where “xx”
is the message number. Listen to the message and hang-up when complete.

Section 2 - Page 4
V3.0-010310

EXAMPLE:

You want a voice prompt to announce your aircraft and direct the caller to dial an extension
number if it is known. This is called a DISA prompt. Pick up a handset and dial “#505” and
listen for the tone. After the tone, you say “Hello, you have reached the ABC Company
aircraft. If you know your party’s extension, dial it now, otherwise, standby and your call
will be answered.” Hang up the handset.

To play the message back, pick up a handset and dial “#605” and listen for the message.

2.7 USER DEVICES- the AEROCOM 1000 system supports a variety of telephony devices
to include handsets, modems, fax machines, etc. Essentially, any 2-wire standard telephone
device will operate with the AEROCOM 1000 system. ICG also provides various styles of
telephone handsets that may vary in their operation.

NOTE:

Though the ICG AeroCom systems support virtually any make and model of commercial
telephony device available, standards and designs vary significantly between countries and
regulatory agencies. As an example, one of the major variations between handsets is the
duration of the flash signal in telephones that have “Flash” buttons. The North American
phone system specifies a flash as a momentary on-hook of less than a second, usually
around one half second. The European flash is 100ms and a longer on-hook signal will
disconnect the call. The AEROCOM 1000 system will support either Flash signal. However,
when selecting handsets, it is important to notify ICG of the type and manufacturer of the
equipment to be installed to insure the configuration in the AEROCOM 1000 system is
correct for the types of devices that will be connected.

“Flash Description”: Depressing the Hook Switch on a telephone for a short period, usually
less than a second is called a “Hook Switch Flash”. In the AEROCOM 1000 like many
PABX systems, this places any existing call “on hold” and provides new dial tone to the
handset. The caller can then take some appropriate action like dialing another extension to
which to transfer the call or to consult with someone before restoring the call. To reconnect
to the call, Flashing the Hook-Switch again will reconnect the call.

2.8 ICG JET-PHONE

2.8.1 ICG JET-PHONE – the ICG Jet-Phone is a special handset approved for aircraft
installation that operates essentially the same as a standard handset with some special
function buttons. Operation is as follows:

2.8.2 To Place an outbound Call

• Remove the handset from the cradle by pressing up on the two release tabs on the side
of the handset.

• Dial the destination telephone number and wait for the call to connect.

Section 2 - Page 5
V3.0-010310

2.8.3 Answering an Inbound Call

• On an inbound call the telephone handset will ring. To answer the call simply remove
the handset from the cradle and the calling party will be on the line.

2.8.4 Call Transfer

• To transfer a call on the line to another extension, press the special “Flash” button on the
handset (this places the calling party “on-hold”) and new dial tone will be received.

• Dial the extension number to which the call is to be transferred and then hang-up by
placing the handset back into the cradle or by pressing the “New Call” button. The ground-
side caller will automatically be connected to the transferred extension.

• You may want to confer with the party to which the call is being transferred before
hanging up. If this is the case, wait until the extension answers and after announcing the
call, perform the hang up procedure.

• To retrieve the ground-side party, simply press the “Flash” button again at any time and
the calling party will be on the line.

2.8.5 Conferencing

• To conference one or more parties into the conversation with a ground-side party, press
the “Flash” button on the handset. This places the ground party on-hold.

• User then dials #714” to add extension14 to the conference. He can talk to Ext. 14 and
when he presses Flash or Hook Flash again, all parties will be connected. The last station
to hang up clears the conference and call.

• Any extension can add other extensions into the conference, to add other conferees into
the conference follow the same procedure as described above.

Note: the AEROCOM 1000 system comes with standard 3 party conferencing. Expanded
conference facilities are available as an option. If it is not possible to establish more than a
3 party conference, contact ICG for the expanded service.

2.8.6 New Call

• The ICG Jet-Phone has a special function button labeled “New Call”. This button when
pressed will disconnect a call in progress and after 2 seconds, provide dial tone to permit
a new call. It obviates the requirement to hang up the handset after every call.

2.8.7 Pilot

• This button when pressed will dial the extension for the cockpit. This button operates as
a speed dial button and must be programmed with the cockpit extension to operate
correctly.

Section 2 - Page 6
V3.0-010310

2.8.8 Hold

• The “Hold” button when pressed, places a call on-hold and mute’s the audio so that no
communications is possible between the handset and the other party. To release the
“hold” feature, press the Hold button again to restore the call.

2.8.9 Last Number Re-dial (LNR)

• The “LNR” button when pressed will redial the last number that was dialed form the
handset.

2.8.10 Speed Dialing - Speed Dialing is typically programmed into the user handsets. For
handsets that have this feature, other than the ICG provided devices, please consult the
user guide provided with the handsets. Instructions for programming the ICG Jet-Phone
are described below.

• To dial a pre-programmed speed dialing number, press the “Speed Dial” button and
enter the two digit memory location that contains the destination telephone number that is
to be dialed.

• The number will be displayed on the LCD display. If this is the number to be dialed
press the “#” button and the handset will dial the destination number.

• To scroll up and down the stored numbers, press “3” to scroll up in the speed dialing
directory and press “9” to scroll down in the directory.

• Pressing the “#” key will dial the number displayed on the screen at any time.

2.8.11 Programming Speed Dialing Buttons and Numbers - the ICG Jet-Phone has
two facilities for storing speed dial numbers. A single button, typically labeled, “Pilot” is
used to speed dial the extension for the flight deck handset. This needs to be programmed
with the extension number assigned to the cockpit handset. The other facility is to store
up to 99 telephone numbers into the handset that can be recalled by entering a two digit
code and then dialed.

2.8.11.1 Programming Pilot Button - this button is programmed as speed dialing

location “99" and pressing this button will automatically dial the digits programmed into
this speed dialing address. The procedure is as follows:

- Determine the extension number of the flight deck telephone.

- Take the Jet-Phone handset off-hook and press the “New Call” button.
- Once new dial tone is received, press the “Speed Dial” button.
- Dial the two digit short code “99”.
- Dial “*” and monitor that the “New Number” prompt is displayed.
- Enter the three digit code for the flight deck extension followed by a “#”.
- Hang up the phone or press the “New Call” button.

Section 2 - Page 7
V3.0-010310

The handset is now programmed to dial the flight deck extension once the “Pilot” button
is pressed.

2.8.11.2 Programming Speed Dial Locations - as mentioned up to 99 numbers can be

stored for speed dialing purposes. Each number is assigned a two digit code, example
“01,02,03…99”. Programming these numbers is as follows:

- Take the Jet-Phone handset off-hook and press the “New Call” button.
- Once new dial tone is received, press the “Speed Dial” button.
- Dial the two digit short code that you wish to program“01, 02, 03, etc..
- Dial “*” and monitor that the “New Number” prompt is displayed.
- Enter the complete telephone number that you wish to enter including dialing prefix (1,
011, 00 as required) followed by any country code requirement, city code, telephone
number, etc. followed by a “#”.
- Hang up the phone or press the “New Call” button.
- Either hang up the handset or proceed with the next speed dialing memory location.

2.9 ICG Jet Phone with credit card reader

ICG offers the standard Jet-Phone with a credit card magnetic stripe reader attached. This
is typically installed where outbound calls are to be billed to the caller or other account
and not to the aircraft. The operation of the telephone is as described above except that
after the destination number ids dialed, the caller will be prompted to swipe a credit card
through the card reader.

The procedure is very simple, simply swipe the card from top to bottom. If the card was
swiped correctly a small green LED will light. If the card was not read correctly, both a
voice prompt will request that the card be swiped again and a red LED will light.

2.10 Standard handsets, modems and fax machines

As mentioned earlier in this manual, the AEROCOM 1000 system will support
connection and operation of virtually any telephone handset, modem or fax machine.
Following is a description of placing calls using standard telecom devices. Essentially,
the operation is the same as calling services offered by any office PABX or phone
system.

2.10.1 To Place an outbound Call

• Lift the handset from the cradle.

• Dial the destination telephone number and wait for the call to connect.

Section 2 - Page 8
V3.0-010310

2.10.2 Answering an Inbound Call

• On an inbound call the telephone handset will ring. To answer the call simply lift the
handset from the cradle and the calling party will be on the line.

2.10.3 Call Transfer

“Flash”: Depressing the Hook Switch on a telephone for a short period, usually less than a
second is called a “Hook Switch Flash”. In the AEROCOM 1000 like many PABX
systems, this places any existing call “on hold” and provides new dial tone to the handset.
The caller can then take some appropriate action like dialing another extension to which to
transfer the call or to consult with someone before restoring the call. To reconnect to the
call, Flashing the Hook-Switch again will reconnect the call.

• To transfer a call on the line to another extension, depress the Flash the Hook Switch
momentarily (less than 1 second) or if the handset has a special “Flash” button, press the
Flash button on the handset (this places the calling party “on-hold”) and new dial tone will
be received.

• Dial the extension number to which the call is to be transferred and then hang-up by
placing the handset back into the cradle. The ground-side caller will automatically be
connected to the transferred extension.

• You may want to confer with the party to which the call is being transferred before
hanging up. If this is the case, wait until the extension answers and after announcing the
call, perform the hang up procedure.

• To retrieve the ground-side party, simply Flash the Hook Switch again at any time and the
calling party will be on the line.

2.10.4 Conferencing

• To conference another party into the conversation with a ground-side party, press the
Hook-Switch momentarily or press the “Flash” button on the handset. This places the
ground party on-hold.

• Dial “#7xx”, where “xx” is the two digit extension to be added to the conference. Pressing
the Hook-Switch or “Flash” button again will connect all three parties. A three-way
conference has now been established.

• Any extension can add other extensions into the conference, to add other conferees into
the conference follow the same procedure as described above.

Note: the AEROCOM 1000 system comes with standard 3 party conferencing. Expanded
conference facilities are available as an option. If it is not possible to establish more than
a 3 party conference, contact ICG for the expanded service.

2.11 DIALING PLANS

The AEROCOM 1000 is capable of supporting many types of outbound dialing.

Predominately, two main formats are used; the North American standard or the European
standard. The AEROCOM 1000 will automatically; add, strip or change digits to
accommodate the communications network through which the call is being processed.
The caller dials a single format and does not need to change dialing formats required by
disparate communications transceivers.

2.11.3 SPECIAL DIALING CODES

The AEROCOM 1000 also supports special dialing to access various circuits or services.

2.11.3.1 Inmarsat Aeronautical Services

The Inmarsat aeronautical network uses several codes to access the Ground Earth Station
(GES) to perform special functions or call types. Not all GES’s support all of the
functions associated by the short codes. To dial short codes, the user directly selects the
sat-com trunk by dialing the “direct Trunk Select” command, and when dial tone is
received from the sat-com dialing the two digit code., The standard short codes are as
follows:

User Dials Service Follow On Dialing

#x GES Operator 11#

#x Operator Information Service 12#
#x Technical Assistance 33#
#x 1004Hz Test Tone 91#
#x Commissioning Operator 92#

Note: “x” is CO channel, 1,2,3 or 4.

2.12 SPECIAL TRANSCEIVER DIALING AND CONVERSIONS

Different communication mediums require special prefix codes to instruct the

transceivers and network on the type of call and the bandwidth requirements. The
Aerocom device usually inserts these or adjusts the dialing format automatically to
accommodate these requirements.

Section 2 - Page 11
V3.0-010310

2.12.1 Aero H+, Aero I and Aero M Dialing

Service Dialing Prefix

Voice Call 00

Fax Call 01

Data Call 02

The Aerocom will automatically change the prefix code regardless of what the user dials,
for extensions and devices that are configured as exclusive fax or data ports the Aerocom
will insure the correct codes are sent in the call set-up.

2.12.2 Magnastar GTE Airfone Service

As with the Aero H+ and Aero I prefix requirements, the GTE Airfone service requires a
similar type of short code addressing to instruct the ARTU transceiver to set up a wider
bandwidth channel. The codes implemented in the Airfone network are as follows:

Service Dialing Prefix

Voice Call 1followed by Area Code or 1+011 followed by Country Code

Fax Call 2 followed by Country Code

Data Call 3 followed by Country Code

Again the Aerocom device will automatically insert these codes for ports identified as
exclusive data of fax ports.

2.12.3 Special Aerocom Dialing Codes

2.12.4 Direct Trunk Seize – Cut-Through

(# x is the trunk identification number):

Dialing the “#” followed by the two digit trunk number (x is the trunk identification
number), will instruct the AEROCOM 1000 to process the call without any call routing
or automation and to connect the caller directly to the circuit selected. The AEROCOM
1000 will cut-through to the selected trunk directly and the caller will be required to

Section 2 - Page 12
V3.0-010310

manually dial digits into the transceiver in the format required by the communications
network..

Example - If a caller dials “#1” the caller will be directly connected to the analog
transceiver circuit connected to trunk “1” and should receive dial-tone or audio from the
transceiver.

Note: this feature is only available when selecting analog communications channels.

2.12.5 Direct Sat-Com Trunk Select (∗)

This feature permits pre-selecting a satellite trunk and bypassing any other service.
Dialing a “∗” ahead of any dialing sequence will force the call via the Aero satellite only
and will ignore any other services.

2.12.6 Direct Sat-Com Cut Through (∗∗)

Dialing “∗∗” will bypass any automation and directly connect the user to a satellite
channel. Any call automation is eliminated and the caller must dial the correct dialing
format to access a satellite channel.

2.13 SPECIAL OVER-RIDE CODES

2.13.1 Exclusive over-ride – it may be required to place calls from ports that are
dedicated as exclusive voice, fax or data extensions. Dialing a single prefix digit will
over-ride the predetermined setting to place another type of call. The dialing prefix’s are
a s follows”

7- Voice Call
8- Fax Call
9- Data Call

These codes will typically be used only to over-ride a station setting. As an example to
send data from a PC via a telephone extension, the user dials a “9” ahead of his normal
dialing. To make a voice call from a fax extension, a user would dial a “7” ahead of
normal dialing.

2.13.2 Command Codes – currently we use a “#” to direct select a trunk and “*” to force
the call satellite. We will use the “#” as a command signifier for the following
commands:

#1 – Cut Through to CO1

#2 – Cut Through to CO2
#3 – Cut Through to CO3
#4 – Cut Through to CO4
#5 xx – Record Message xx

Section 2 - Page 13
V3.0-010310

#6 xx – Playback Message xx
#7 xx– Set Up Conference call, xx is the extension to be added.

3.0 CONFIGURATION PROGRAMMING

The AEROCOM 1000 is delivered pre-configured for the intended operation as defined
during installation by the completion center or aircraft manufacturer. Frequently changes
must be made to the operation of the system as directed by the aircraft customer or
because of changes in equipment or cabin layout. ICG provides a facility that permits
changing the system operation as required. This facility is the “ICG Configuration
Manager”.

ICG provides to each AEROCOM 1000 customer, floppy disk(s) that contains; the
configuration editor and the Aerocom utility for uploading and downloading the
Aerocom configuration.

Aerocom Utility – this software module permits communications with the CTU via a
serial link. Communications to the AEROCOM 1000 is via a serial link between a PC
and the device. The primarily reason to connect to the AEROCOM 1000 is to upload or
download configuration changes and new software and files.

Configuration Utility – this module is an editor in which configuration changes are

made to the AEROCOM operation. Typically, the procedure is to download the current
configuration from the CTU into the manager, modify the configuration with any
required changes and upload the new configuration back into the AEROCOM CTU.

Functions Provided by Utility:

- Downloading current configuration from Aerocom 1000 CTU

- Uploading new or edited configuration to Aerocom 1000 CTU
- Editing and initiating changes to configuration
- Loading new executable applications software for upgrades
- Editing PIN number and accounting tables

Since the AEROCOM 1000 has no external facilities for a monitor, keyboard or pointing
device, it is necessary to connect to the AEROCOM 1000 via its’ serial link maintenance
port with a note-book or other PC. ICG provides a service, at no charge, where it will
load the software and test the operation of a customer’s computer providing the customer
delivers the PC to ICG’s facility.

ICG provides the communications utility and the configuration editor on a 1.44MB
floppy disk. When requesting these utilities the part numbers are as follows:

3.1.2.1 Loading Software (New Installation)

Following is the procedure for loading the Aerocom Utility The installation process
creates a directory called “Aerocom” and also creates several sub-directories to permit
exchanging files and uploading new executable software versions. The Aerocom Utility
is a “DOS” based program but is accessed via an Icon created on the desktop.

1) Close all other programs running on the target PC.

2) Insert the Aerocom floppy disk into the floppy drive.
3) From the “Run” directory of the operating system, run the install utility from the “A”
Drive and select “Setup”.

The install utility will automatically load and create a directory called “Aerocom” with
one or more sub-directories. It will also create a short cut to access the utility from the
desktop via an Icon displayed on the desktop.

3.2 System Architecture

The AEROCOM 1000 is delivered from the factory set-up for the intended operation, if
known. In instances where the configuration of the transceiver circuits need to be
changed from 2-wire to 4-wire audio circuits, it is highly recommended that the device be
returned to ICG for reconfiguration and Quality Assurance testing.

Section 3 - Page 2
V1.1 Dec ‘01

Note: the Aerocom 1000 has pre-installed jumpers internally that configure the CO
(Transceiver) ports for either 2-wire or 4-wire audio operation. These are not field
changeable, therefore it is very important that ICG be informed as to the transceivers to
be connected prior to delivery of the Aerocom CTU.

3.2.2 Standard Configuration

Though the Aerocom systems support many types of transceivers, there are typical
standard configurations and conventions implemented within the system. They are as
follows:

3.2.2.1 4-Wire Circuits

Analog Sat-Com Channels, PA, HF Radio

Though transceiver channels can be assigned to virtually any AEROCOM CO circuit, a

standard convention is used to assign 4-wire audio channels to the following types of
connections.

HF Radio Selection

By dialing the direct trunk select code for the HF radio, a caller will be connected to this
circuit. In the case of call set-up, the HF radio operator (Pilot) must initiate the call by
dialing "#X", where “X” is the CO port assigned to the HF Radio (1,2,3 or4) and once
connected can transfer the call into the cabin.

PA System Announcements

By dialing the direct trunk select code for trunk "#X" the caller is connected to the
onboard public address system and can make announcements. This connection is usually
used by attendant or pilot telephone stations though it can be accessed by seat handsets
when permitted.

Section 3 - Page 3
V1.1 Dec ‘01

3.3 CONFIGURATION EDITING

As mentioned earlier, the AEROCOM 1000 is shipped to a customer pre-configured for

the hardware configuration and for the intended operation. Often, changes must be made
to accommodate specific customer requirements. Though the “Configuration Utility”
gives an in-depth description of it’s operation, it should not be necessary to start from a
blank configuration. The AEROCOM 1000 has many features and attributes that can be
changed or enabled.

Note 1: it is not possible to apply configuration changes in a real-time manner while the
AEROCOM 1000 is performing telephony functions. The operator must first exit
communication operations prior to uploading configuration changes or downloading the
current configuration.. Telephony operations will not be restored until the
upload/download functions gave been completed.

The AEROCOM 1000 configuration is structured around several modules (class of

service, CO port parameters, Extension Port parameters, Outbound transceiver selection,
etc.). These modules are effectively inter-related such that changes in one module affect
operations and require accommodations in others. As an example, changing the
assignment for a station port from a telephone circuit to a fax port would most likely
require a change to the inbound hunt group so that this port does not ring on an inbound
voice call and only on an inbound fax. Additionally, changes may be required to classes
of service to remove calling restrictions and changes to outbound hunt groups to select a
preferred fax channel or circuit.

To enter the configuration editor:

1) Click on the Aerocom Utility Icon on the desktop.

2) A password prompt will appear, enter the default password, which is “MASTER”.
3) The Aerocom Utility should appear on the display.

A screen will appear as shown on next page.

Section 3 - Page 4
V1.1 Dec ‘01

3.3.1 Loading Configuration to be Edited – typically, each AEROCOM 1000

installation has a different configuration. Though the hardware configuration may be
identical in specific installations, call routing, extension layout, and customer defined
methods of operation will vary.

1) Download AEROCOM 1000 Configuration to be Edited – using the arrow keys on

the PC keypad, place the arrow on the “Download Configuration from Aerocom to
Editor”. The utility will then download the current configuration into the editor.

2) Upload Configuration File From Floppy or Other Location – a pre-edited

configuration can be edited prior to upload to the Aerocom or a configuration can be
downloaded and saved to a floppy or hard-drive. Placing the arrow keys on “Save/Load
Configuration to/from disk from/to editor and pressing <Enter> will permit saving a
configuration or uploading a pre-edited configuration from a floppy or hard-drive
location. Once this is selected, prompts will appear requesting the path and file name to
save to or to import the configuration.

Section 3 - Page 5
V1.1 Dec ‘01

3.3.2 Sample Configuration and Editor Operation

This chapter covers the basic requirements for running the configuration editor for the
AEROCOM 1000 Series Communications Systems. The configuration editor is required
for making any changes to the system parameters that controls the functions of
AEROCOM devices. The software necessary for running the configuration editor is
installed on the target PC to be used in conjunction with servicing of the AEROCOM
device. The configuration editor is broken down into several sections. For explanation
purposes of this manual, a configuration has been selected that is an actual aircraft
installation that typifies a popular configuration. In this configuration we have the
following:

i) CO1 and CO2 set up as 2-wire Aircell transceivers.

ii) CO3 and CO 4 set up as 2-wire Aero I sat-com channels.

This configuration supports connection to two AirCell transceivers and two channels of a
single Aero I system. Usually, when two channels of an Aero I are implemented, one
channel is assigned for inbound fax calls. Both channels are assigned for outbound voice,
fax or data calls.

3.4 Trunk Ports

Trunk ports are ports typically connected to transceiver devices to deliver outbound and
accept inbound communications.

Trunk # - is the CO (Central Office) designation number assigned to the trunk. Typically
the numbers are consecutive in the Aerocom 1000 from one (1) to four (4).

Using the arrow keys on the keyboard, select the “Edit Current Configuration”. A new
menu will appear as shown below.

Section 3 - Page 6
V1.1 Dec ‘01

Select the “Set CO Ports” option by setting the arrow on this line and pressing enter. A
new menu will appear as shown.

To edit trunk (CO) circuit 1, select using the arrow keys, “Trunk 1” and press <Enter>.
This will bring up a new menu as shown below.

Several attributes will appear that can be edited as follows:

Trunk: the two options are enabled or disabled. This permits activating or deactivating
trunk lines as required. Press <Enter> to toggle between the options enabled or disabled.

Type: this attribute selects the type of communications medium that the trunk line will be
connected to. The options are:

Aircell
Sat-Com
GTE Airfone
Iridium
AMSC (Cal-Quest Sat-Com)
VHF / HF Radio

Section 3 - Page 7
V1.1 Dec ‘01

Class of Service: this determines the calls of service assigned to the trunk. This is
primarily used for trunk to trunk calling not typically used in Aero applications.

Device Type: the device types define parameters for the trunk lines and how they should
operate. They are similar to “printer drivers” used in PC applications. For trunk lines the
options are typically various communication transceivers and services compatible with
the Aerocom device. This attribute is set to the type of transceiver connected to the trunk
port. Setting this attribute will determine how the Aerocom 1000 will perform outbound
and inbound calling. The Device types are as follows:

Device Type Medium Transceiver 2W or 4W Circuit

00 Sat-Com Aero H 4W
01 Sat-Com Aero I 2W
02 Sat-Com Aero I 4W
TBD Sat-Com Aero M 4W
03 Sat-Com Aero M 2W
06 Sat-Com Cal Quest 4W
26 Sat-Com Iridium 4W

10 Cellular AirCell 2W
11 Cellular Ground Cell 2W

30 HF Radio HF Radio 4W
31 PA System PA 4W

Note: pressing the “F1” key when in the device type entry field, will display a list of
Device Types for review.

RXD Level: this attribute sets the received audio level to a predetermined level
regardless of the incoming level for data calls. This is similar to an AGC circuit. The
Aerocom 1000 will sample the inbound modem level and adjust the level to, in this
example “-20dbm0”. The level options are –15 to –40 dbm0. The level though entered as
a positive integer is interpreted as a negative value.

DISA (Direct Inward Station Access) Enabled-When this attribute is enabled, the
Aerocom will answer an inbound call (ground to air) and present either a dial tone or
voice prompt to the caller. Once prompted the inbound caller can select an extension.

Direct Ring: this entry will determine which extension is to ring when an inbound call is
detected on this trunk line. This attribute is set when DISA is not activated and is referred
to as direct ring-in mode.

Section 3 - Page 8
V1.1 Dec ‘01

Blind Dial: this feature when selected instructs the Aerocom internal dialer to dial the
DTMF digits to the transceiver without first looking for dial tone or other indication of
transceiver availability.

The options are:

OFF – dial tone always required from the transceiver prior to outbound dialing.
ON - dial digits regardless of presence of dial tone
Initial Dial Tone not Required – dial preamble or prefix but wait for dial tone before
dialing destination number.
Dial Tone never Required – Dial any prefix code or any digits without dial tone.

Prefix: this permits adding up to 5 special dialing digits to support particular services that
may be provided by various service providers providing air to ground communications
services.

Advanced: this feature permits customizing of a dialing string and command structure
for prefixes and suffixes.

3.4.1 DIALING TABLES

The Aerocom 1000 uses dialing tables that are automatically assigned to a trunk circuit
by the device type connected to the CO circuit. These tables are specific to the different
aeronautical communications mediums and devices. A copy of the dialing table is listed
in the appendix.

Section 3 - Page 9
V1.1 Dec ‘01

3.5 SETTING SUBSCRIBER PORTS

This menu permits programming of the subscriber circuits (Extensions) for various
attributes.

Using he arrow keys, select the extension to be edited and press <Enter>.

Extension – sets the extension enabled or disabled. Use the <Enter> key to toggle
between the two options.

COS – this sets the class of service and associated level of restrictions for each
extensions as well as identifying what type of device is connected to an extension circuit.
Often a communications system will require a special prefix code t notify the system as
to the type of call associated with the extension device. As an example, the Inmarsat aero
network requires a prefix of “00- voice, 01- Fax and 02- Data. Since the Aerocom 1000
can automatically adjust the prefix dialing digits, the COS attribute is used to identify the

Section 3 - Page 10
V1.1 Dec ‘01

device connected to an extension. Also, attributes such as credit card calling, pin number
requirements, etc. can be set using the COS option. The following class of service table
identifies restriction levels and device types.

COS Device & Restriction Aero H+.I,M Prefix

00 Unrestricted Access
01 Unrestricted Voice 00
02 Voice with Pin Required 00
03 Voice with Credit Card Required 36
04 Unrestricted Fax 01
05 Fax with Pin Required 01
06 Fax with Credit Card Required
07 Unrestricted Data 02
08 Data with Pin Required 02
09 Data with Credit Card Required
10 (1) Fax with Incoming Fax Alert (Relay 1)
11 Fax with Incoming Fax Alert Pin Required
12 Fax with Incoming Fax Alert CC Required
13 (2) Voice with Flap Restriction
14 Voice with Flap Restriction and PIN Required
15 Voice with Flap Restriction and CC Required.

Note: pressing the “F1” key when selecting the COS, will display a list of the Class of
Service types.

3.5.1 Fax Alert– the Aerocom 1000 offers a Fax Alert” feature to announce an incoming
fax via a relay contact closure to an audio or visual device. When COS 10 ,11, or 12 is
assigned to an extension with a fax machine connected, Relay #1 will close when the fax
machine answers. When this feature is used, the relay contacts “Relay 1” must be
connected via the Arinc connector to an alerting device. Consult the wiring information
for the correct pin designations I “Section 4, 4.7”..

3.5.2 Flap Restriction– often during critical flight operations such as take off and
landing, certain handsets such as the flight deck handset should not ring on an inbound
call. When assigning COS 13,14 or 15 to an extension this extension will not ring if an
input signal to the Aerocom device indicates the flaps in a landing or take-off position.
For this feature to operate a signal must be received (ground) from the flap relay or other
device via the Arinc connector. Consult the wiring information for the correct pin
designations on the flap sense input signal.

Sat-Com Level – this permits adjusting the audio level to the sat-com transceiver. Up to
12 db of gain or attenuation can be applied to the audio level. This feature is typically
used to adjust transmit levels from modems or fax machines for data transmissions for
calls via the satellite networks.

Section 3 - Page 11
V1.1 Dec ‘01

Cellular Level - this permits adjusting the audio level to the cellular transceiver. Up to
12 db of gain or attenuation can be applied to the audio level. This feature is typically
used to adjust transmit levels from modems or fax machines for data transmissions for
calls via the cellular networks.

Routing – determines which transceivers for outbound calls the extension has access to
and in which order they are selected. When this feature is selected, a prompt will appear
“Select Trunk Sequence 0”, at the prompt, enter the first trunk to be selected. After
entering the choice, a second prompt will appear for “sequence 1”, enter the second
choice. The sequence prompt will appear 4 times for the 4 trunk circuits. (Note: the
selection is 0 justified, where selection o is in fact trunk circuit 1).

3.6 SERIAL PORT CONFIGURATION

This set of options permits setting up the serial ports for communication devices. There
are two serial ports, one is used to access the Aerocom CTU for programming purposes
and is available via a DB9 connector on the front of the Aerocom Chassis. The other
serial port is available to permit logging of outbound call records should this be required.

Using the arrow keys on the PC, select which serial port to edit. Press <Enter>.

Section 3 - Page 12
V1.1 Dec ‘01

Warning – the programming port should be left at its default setting, 9600Bps, N, 8,!.
It is possible to enter parameters where the port can be made inoperative resulting in
inability to access the Aerocom 1000 device for programming purposes.

CDR Port 1 – keying on Port 1 permits setting the baud rate, parity, data word length
and number of stop bits. If an external device is connected to log call records such as a
serial printer, PC or call logging device, the link parameters must be set the same on both
devices.

Terminal Port – this is the serial port used to access the Aerocom CTU for programming
configuration changes and for software updates.

Output Ports - this determines which port will be used for output of call records.
Typically the only choice is the CDR port but the programming port can also be used for
this function though it is not recommended. To turn on the ports for output of call
records, use the space bar to place an “X” on the port selected.

CDR Requirement – this option determines if call records are mandatory for each call.
If this feature is activated, a printer of logging device must be connected to receive call
records. If the device becomes inoperative, the Aerocom will permit up to 20 outbound
calls before its internal call buffer fills. Unless the buffer is emptied to the external
logging device, the Aerocom will disallow any further outbound calling until the problem
is rectified.

CDR Format – this entry determines which calls are to be logged. The options are; all
calls inbound and outbound, outbound only or completed outbound calls only. If logging
is required for rebilling purposes, usually outbound completed calls are the only ones
logged.

Section 3 - Page 13
V1.1 Dec ‘01

3.7 DISA OPTIONS

DISA is “Direct Inbound Station Access”. This feature permits a ground side caller to
call the aircraft and direct a call to an individual extension onboard the aircraft. During
this process, the Aerocom also monitors the inbound call for fax machine “CNG” tone
(1100Hz beep every 3 seconds generated by fax machines). IF CNG tone is detected the
Aerocom will automatically route the call to the onboard fax extension.

DISA Board - the DISA voice PCB is internal to the Aerocom CTU.

DISA - Disabled – DISA feature is not turned on.

Dial Tone – DISA is ON and dial tone is extended to an inbound caller.
Vox Prompt – DISA is ON and a voice prompt greets the inbound caller.

DISA Default Voice Extension – If digits to select an onboard extension or fax CNG
tone is not received, a default telephone, such as the flight deck handset will ring for a
specified time. This assumes that the ground side caller is not familiar with the procedure
or may be dialing from a rotary telephone. The default extension will usually ring after 10
seconds of the call be answered by the Aerocom and no digits or fax tone received. A
default DISA voice extension must be programmed if the DISA feature is used.

DISA Default Fax Extension – this is the extension to which an onboard fax machine is
connected. If fax CNG tones are detected during the DISA cycle, the Aerocom will

Section 3 - Page 14
V1.1 Dec ‘01

transfer the call to this extension automatically. There must be an entry for a default fax
extension if DISA is used.

3.8 DATE / TIME AND SYSTEM TIMERS

Several configurable timers are provided in the Aerocom 1000 CTU. These timers
typically time events used in call set-up similar to those implemented by telephone
companies and in office PABX systems.

Date – this permits setting the date as prompted.

Time - enter the time. Typically GMT is used as the time standard.

Timers – this programming step permits setting up the various Time Outs used be the
system. In the case of expiration of the “No digit, Interdigit and No Connect” timers, a
reorder (fast busy) signal is provided. In the case of the DISA “ring-no-answer” timer, the
Aerocom will disconnect the call if telephones go unanswered for the duration of the
timer.

No Connect Timeout - a no connect timer is started for every outbound call to insure the
call is answered at the far end. This is to insure that the communication resources
onboard the aircraft are not unnecessarily occupied with calls that are excessive ring no
answer and busy or cannot be connected such as calls that are mis-routed by the network
resulting in dead air connections. The default for this timer is 120 seconds. If during this

Section 3 - Page 15
V1.1 Dec ‘01

time the Aerocom has not detected speech, modem or fax tone at the far end it will
disconnect the call.

DISA Ring No Answer – if an extension is selected or the default extension rings for a
period without being answered, the Aerocom will disconnect the circuit. The default for
this timer is 60 seconds.

DISA No Selection – this timer permits the entry of digits by the ground caller for a
limited period. If digits selecting an extension are not received or fax CNG tone detected,
within the timer interval, the Aerocom will ring the default phone after the timer expires.
The default for this timer is 10 seconds.

Section 3 - Page 16
V1.1 Dec ‘01

3.9 OPERATING OPTIONS

This set-up menu is very important. It permits entry of attributes that determine how the
device will operate and how specific events are handled.

Outbound Calls Enabled – toggling this function with the <Enter> key will enable or
disable outbound calling, globally for all mediums.

Roll to Sat-Com – this feature determines under what conditions the Aerocom will roll
calls to the Sat-Com transceiver. The options are as follows:

Disabled – No automatic access is allowed. When set, access to the satellite transceiver
may only be achieved by dialing a “*” ahead of the telephone number. Dialing the “*” is
intended to remind the caller that a more expensive medium is being used for the call.

Always – in this mode the Aerocom will route calls to the satellite transceiver if less
expensive mediums are unavailable or engaged in outbound calls.

Section 3 - Page 17
V1.1 Dec ‘01

Conditional – in this mode, the Aerocom will route calls to the satellite transceivers if
other services are unavailable. However, if other services are available but engaged in
calls, the Aerocom will pass reorder tone to the caller. The caller can try their call later
when a circuit becomes available or try their call again preceding the call with a “*” to
force the call via satellite.

Absent Transfer – this command makes it possible to automatically transfer a call from
the unanswered default extension or from an unanswered extension selected via DISA
mode to another extension. As an example, an inbound call may ring in the cabin but not
be answered. The Aerocom would, after five rings, ring the handset on the flight deck.

Absent Transfer Extension – this is the extension to which calls will be transferred if
incoming calls are not answered on the default extension.

NOC Timers – this feature enables or disables the “No Connect” timers for particular
mediums. When the NOC timer is disconnected for a particular medium, the Aerocom
will not disconnect the call if answer has not been detected when the NOC timer expires.

Sat-Com Dialer Levels – different transceivers may be sensitive to DTMF tone levels
used in dialing sequences. The Aerocom 1000 dials DTMF tones at a –6dbm0 level.
However, it may be necessary to raise or lower these levels for different manufacturers
transceivers. This facility permits raising this level to 0 or –12 dbm0.

Section 3 - Page 18
V1.1 Dec ‘01

3.10 PIN ACCOUNTS

The Aerocom 1000 permits entry of up to 200 PIN numbers where restrictions to
communications access or third party billing is required. If PIN number requirements are
set in the COS for stations, the Aerocom CTU will prompt the caller with either a voice
prompt or ‘Bong” tone for all outbound calls. The Pin number entered will be compared
to the numbers resident in the table and if a match is found, the call will be processed.

PIN numbers can be either 4 or 6 digits. PIN numbers can be entered manually or can be
generated by the Aerocom CTU using its random number generator. Along with the PIN
number a user can be defined and a department to which the calls will be debited.

Section 3 - Page 19
V1.1 Dec ‘01

3.11 BAD CARD BUFFER

The Aerocom 1000 has facilities to enter and store bad credit card numbers. For any
credit card call, the received number is compared to entries in this table. If a number
match is found the call is disallowed.

CC Acceptance – when this feature is selected, a list of commonly used credit cards
appear. By pressing the spacebar, acceptance is toggled on and off.

Section 3 - Page 20
V1.1 Dec ‘01

3.11.1 Save Configuration for Upload to Aerocom

Save for Upload to Aerocom -the software provided by ICG for use on a PC
automatically builds two sub-directories: “upload and download” in the Aerocom
Directory. These have the path defined as “C:\aerocom\upload” and
C:\aerocom\download”. When configuration changes have been completed and are to be
uploaded to an AEROCOM device, clicking o the “File” button and choosing “Save for
Upload to Aerocom” will place the configuration into a file called “database.ini” into the
“Aerocom Upload” directory for uploading.

Note: performing this function will not automatically upload the new file into the
AEROCOM system. This must be accomplished from the Desktop display by using the
“Aerocom Utility” once the PC is connected to the Aerocom unit via a serial link.

3.11.2 Save Configuration for Upload to Floppy (A:) or Hard Drive – clicking on the
“Export” button will permit saving the ‘Database.ini” file to either a floppy or directory
on the PC’s hard drive. The procedure is the same as for any others file to be saved on a
PC. This file can be renamed to reference the tail number of the aircraft or placed in a
directory that identifies the aircraft. Alternatively, the “Backup utility described below
can be used to save the file on a floppy under a specific name and directory.

3.11.3 Save Configuration to Backup – if a ‘Backup directory resides on the PC,

configuration files can be stored under this directory using the “Backup” directory
feature. Click on the “Backup” icon and enter a name for the “Database.ini file. The
configuration will be stored in the Backup directory under that name.

4.0 INSTALLATION, WIRING AND CONNECTIONS

The AEROCOM 1000 CTU is pre-configured at ICG’s facility prior to shipment with the
correct interface circuits configured to accommodate the required transceiver devices and
user telephony devices

Note: for description of circuit characteristics, see“ Section 1.0, General Description”.

4.1 EQUIPMENT MOUNTING

The AEROCOM 1000 is designed to mount in a 2 MCU short rack provided by ICG as
part of an installation kit.

The rack must have bottom ventilation holes in the rack to insure proper ventilation and
airflow around the devices. Also, provisions should be made to permit unrestricted access
and clearance for removal of the AEROCOM 1000 from the front of the rack.

Though the AEROCOM 1000 has been tested for various conditions under DOC-160D
guidelines, it is recommended that the AEROCOM CTU be mounted in an E-Bay or
location that maintains temperature between 0 and 50°C.

4.2 AEROCOM 1000 CONNECTORS

The AEROCOM 1000 has a standard Arinc 600 Size 1 connector located on the rear of
the unit. The connector has three sections: “C” Bottom, “B” Middle and “A” Top.

C Bottom Connector Insert (Power Connections) – this 3 pin connection

accommodates connections for the aircraft power (28VDC). Three signals are required;
+28VDC, 28VDC return and chassis ground. The chassis ground pin is connected to the
chassis internal to the AEROCOM 1000 and must be connected to the aircraft frame.

B Middle Connector (CO Interface Connections) - this 60 pin connector

accommodates connections to transceivers and external communications devices. It also
accommodates connections for special inputs and outputs such as hook switch and
discreet ring signals when 4-wire transceiver devices are connected.

________________________________________________________________________

A Top Connector (Cabin Devices Interface Connections) - this 60 pin connector

provides connections for cabin telephony devices such as telephones, fax machines,
modem ports, etc. It also provides connections for a serial device such as a serial printer
or other call logging device, 12VDC utility voltages for external devices requiring power

Section 4 - Page 1
V1.1 Dec ‘01

such as the ICG Mag-stripe readers and Jet Phones, and relay and TTL circuits for
providing external utility signals.

4.3 INPUT POWER CONNECTION

The AEROCOM 1000 provides connection for aircraft power through connector “Arinc
Connector Bottom Insert”. The AEROCOM 1000 operates only with 28VDC power,
preferably through a power circuit breaker located in the cockpit.

Circuit Breaker: Minimum 3 Amps

Power Connections PINS:

Insert C (Bottom) PIN 2 - 28VDC Power (Positive)

PIN 4 - 28VDC Return (Negative)
PIN 3 - Chassis Ground

4.3.1 Utility Output Power

The Aerocom CTU provides 4 circuits of 12 VDC on “Connector Insert Top”. These
circuits are used to power external devices such as the ICG Jetphones and magnetic stripe
readers.

These circuits are fused to protect the external devices and the Aerocom power supply.
The AEROCOM 1000 has automatic re-settable 500ma thermal fuses that when tripped,
will automatically reset once the problem is removed.

When these utility voltages are utilized, they are done so in pairs. As an example, Pin
A09 and Pin A10 would comprise a circuit, Pin B09 and Pin B10, etc.

4.4 TELEPHONY DEVICES

The AEROCOM 1000 CTU provides connections for various types of contemporary
communications devices. Devices supported are as follows:

• 2-wire telephones
• Cordless Handsets
• Fax machines and multi-function machines with fax capabilities
• Data Modems (Note Book Computers, PCs and File Servers
• Air Show modem for data updates
• Magnetic Stripe Readers

4.4.1 Standard two wire devices – devices such as 2-wire telephones, fax machines and
modems are connected to connector insert A (Top Insert). Each circuit has a three wire
connection; “Tip, Ring, and Shield. This connector has a standard pin-out for up to 8
Extension connections.

When wiring station circuits for connection to a POTS (plain old telephone system)
device, typically a 2W Tip and Ring circuit is utilized. Polarity issues are usually not a
concern with simple telephones but can be an issues with some fax machines or other
polarity sensitive devices. It is recommended that good telephony practices be adhered to
and correct signaling be maintained. The AEROCOM can provide 2-wire Tip and Ring
stations with 24VDC loop battery and 80 VRMS, 18 to 50Hz. ring signals. The
AEROCOM 1000 is typically delivered with the telephone ringer frequency set to 20Hz,
the North American standard, if other ringer frequencies are required, contact ICG
to program the ringer circuits for the correct frequency.

Wire Recommendation – 2-Conductor, 22AWG Stranded, with over all shield and drain
wire. Wire length are not a concern as the ICG telephony circuits provide reliable
operation for cable length in excess of 400 meters.

4.4.2 ICG 2-Wire Jetphone

The ICG 2-Wire Jetphone is essentially a 2-wire telephone but has special features such
as lit DTMF dialer pad, speed dialing, Flash button etc. This phone requires power to
operate. The AEROCOM 1000 CTU provides +12VDC to power the handsets from the
Top insert connector. The Telephone can be connected to any of the two wire telephone
ports listed above for the tip and ring telephone circuits. The power pins for the telephone
must be wired to one of the utility 12VDC circuits located on the Top insert utility power
connections.

Section 4 - Page 4
V1.1 Dec ‘01

The 2-wire Jetphones come in two models, either 12VDC or 28VDC versions. The
12VDC version is provided power from the Aerocom CTU, the 28VDC version receives
power from the 28VDC aircraft supply. Connections to the Jetphone are made to a 9-Pin
Male “D” Connector attached to the telephone.

Extension Connections

Refer to Figure 14 Section 6 for wiring connections when installing 12VDC Jetphones.

Note: the 12VDC circuits in the Aerocom are fused with resettable fuses. Fuses trip at
500ma. The 2-wire Jetphone draws approximately 150ma on power up and 100ma when
operational.

4.4.3 ICG Magnetic Stripe Reader

ICG provides a magnetic stripe reader that parallels a telephone device and permits entry
of credit card information. This device reads the magnetic stripe and converts the
information to DTMF digits that can be read by the Aerocom CTU or other device. This
permits restricting of devices to credit card entry.

The ICG device requires a telephone connection and +12VDC power. It has two RJ-11
connector sockets labeled “In” and “Out”. The mag reader is paralleled across the
telephone device and transmits the credit card information on the same circuit. In a 2-w
circuit the mag-reader sends the CC digits via DTMF tones on the tip and ring telephone
pair.

4.5 TRANSCEIVER DEVICES

The AEROCOM 1000 CTU provides connection and operation with a multitude of
various transceiver devices. These devices typically connect via one of the following
circuits:

• 2-wire Tip and Ring Telecom Loop

• 4-wire Audio Circuits with Discreet Hook Switch and Ring signals

4.5.1 Analog 2-Wire Connections

This interface provides for connectivity of standard telephone circuits that provide 2-wire
loop current and high voltage ring signals. The AEROCOM 1000 provides connections
for up to 12 two wire ports for connections to transceivers.

Note: in this application the transceivers provide the loop battery and current into the
circuit. Ring signals from the transceivers are via high voltage 20 or 25Hz ring signals.

4.5.2 Four Wire Circuits

The AEROCOM 1000 supports connections to various types of transceivers requiring a

4-wire audio connection and usually discreet signals to control on/off hook status and
incoming ring signals. Also, often the CTU is required to provide echo suppression for
these circuits.

The AEROCOM 1000 CO ports can be configured either for 2-wire or 4-Wire operation.
When configured for 4-wire mode, the circuits provide for a 2-wire transmit and 2-wire
receive audio pair, a discreet hook signal and a discreet incoming ring detection signal for
each CO circuit. It replicates the connectivity of a WH-10 hand set. As stated above a
device driver must be associated for the ports in-use in the system. The “∗” beside the
various services above indicates that these service require the AEROCOM 1000 to
provide digital echo suppression for these geosynchronous satellite services. Turning this
feature on for these services and not for other 4-wire services is determined by the device
driver

Usually, the AEROCOM 1000 provides an off-hook (Ground) to the transceiver to signal
an off-hook condition. An incoming ring signal (Low or Ground provided by the
transceiver) is recognized and converted to a high voltage 20hz ring to the telephone
devices on the station (extension) side of the AEROCOM 1000. These signals can be
configured to accommodate virtually any voltage state required by the transceiver.

Iridium – Analog
HF Radio (Automatic PTT)
PA System
Crew Intercom system 4-wire

Typically these channels are numbered as CO 1 to CO 4.

4.5.2.1 Circuit Characteristics - though these types of circuits are typically referred to
as 4-wire circuits, this refers to the audio path only. Typically, if we count the control
signals, these are actually six wire analog circuits comprised of the following signals:
- 2 wire TX Audio Pair
- 2 wire RX Audio Pair
- Discreet Hook-status signal
- Discreet Incoming ring signal

This circuit carries the audio in the air to ground direction on the “TX audio” pair and
receives the audio in the ground to air direction on the “RX audio” pair. The Hook-status
line is a virtual open in an on-hook condition and goes to a closed state (Ground) when
the trunk goes off-hook to the transceiver. The impedance of the TX and RX audio
circuits are a standard 600 ohms.

Note: the transceiver sources the voltage and current for this signal not the AEROCOM
unit. All voltages and signals are referenced to chassis ground. Therefore both the
AEROCOM unit and the transceiver must use the same chassis ground reference.

The AEROCOM unit identifies an inbound ring via signal transitions (Ground), usually
at a normal ring cadence on the discreet lead that monitors for a ring signal generated
from the transceiver.

Note: in this case the AEROCOM provides a voltage (+12vdc) to the transceiver. On an
inbound ring this signal is usually transitioned to ”Ground” at the ring cadence provided
by the transceiver.

4.5.2.2 Analog Sat-Com When connecting a 4-wire circuit to a transceiver such as a

4-wire sat-com circuit, the wiring is as follows: See Figure 3 in Section 6.

4.5.2.3 HF RADIO

The AEROCOM 1000 provides connections to the HF radio via one of the CO circuits
configured in 4-wire mode. This is not an automatic system. The pilot must set up the
channel on his HF or VHF radio via 2-wire handset in the cockpit and then transfer the
call to the user in the cabin. In this application, the AEROCOM 1000 senses the speech
direction and will provide automatic PTT to the radio when the user speaks in the air to
ground direction. In this application, the hook signal in 4-wire mode is used as the PTT
signal to key the radio microphone circuit.

Device Type: (30) HF Radio PTT

Circuit Characteristics: 4-wire audio with Voice Actuated PTT
Medium Type: HF Radio

4.5.2.4 PA SYSTEM

The AEROCOM 1000 provides connection to the aircraft PA system to permit

announcements from the cabin telephones. In this application, a 4-wire CO port is used
and the signal typically used for the Hook Signal is now used to key the PA system. The
receive audio circuit is not used in PA mode.

4.6.3 MAGNASTAR ARTU TRANSCEIVER

The interface to this system requires two components from the Magnastar
communications suite: i) a CBDR-2 to provide two ports of analog access into the system
and ii) a CAS unit to provide an out-of-service signal to indicate loss of GTE Airfone
service. This interface requires either a 4W CO or a 2W CO connection in the
AEROCOM unit. It also requires a TTL signal connection to monitor the “out-of-service”
signal provided by the CAS device.

Note: if connection to the CBDR devices is via 2-wire mode, a software patch is required
for the ARTU to permit incoming voice calls on the 2-wire CBDR port to be switched to a
telephone device instead of a fax or data port only. Consult your Magnastar
representative for details.

4.6.3.2 CAS Signals

The Call Alerter Switch (CAS) device has several output signals used for incoming call
alerting and other functions. For presence or absence of GTE Airfone service, CAS
Output “00” is used.

The Aerocom CTU provides +5VDC which is connected to the CAS HI signal. The other
side of this CAS port is connected to ground. With Airfone service available, the CAS
switch is in a “closed” state connecting the Aerocom 5V (TTL signal) to ground. If the
aircraft flies out of the Airfone service, or the transceiver is shut off, the CAS output
“opens” and the Aerocom CTU recognizes this state change.

4.8 RECORDING VOICE PROMPTS

The AEROCOM 1000 has several event-driven voice messages that will provide
messages or instructions similar to those provided by contemporary terrestrial telephone
systems. These messages can be recorded in any language at time of installation or they
can be changed at any time. Messages are recorded through one of the device extensions.

4.8.1 Voice Prompt List

The following table provides a list of voice prompts and the associated voice file name.

List of Aerocom Voice Prompts

Message Event Message #
0 Message Not available
1 Invalid Number Dialed 01
2 No Outbound Circuits Available 02
3 Invalid Credit Card Number 03
4 Re-enter Credit Card Number 04
5 DISA Greeting Message 05

4.8.2 Recording a Message and Playback – when recording voice prompt messages, it
is necessary to record all of the voice prompts in a single session once the command is
activated. Voice prompt messages are separated by performing a “hook-flash” between
messages. This “hook-flash” increments the recording to the next messages. If it is not
required to record all of the messages, a hook-flash may be preformed and then another to
skip a message and move onto the next message. If a message is changed at any time, it
will be necessary to record all of the messages again.

Tips on Recording:

1) Record in a quiet area to avoid background noise or conversation being recorded onto
the message.
2) Use a handset with a “Flash” button to permit inserting the “hook-flash” when
required.

Recording

Section 4 - Page 19
V1.1 Dec ‘01

1) Pick up hand set and dial “#500”. This will bring up message #1
2) Record the messages and when finished, perform a “Hook-Flash” and begin recording
message #2.
3) Continue until all of the messages to be recorded are complete. Upon completion,
hang up the handset.
4) If only a single message is to be recorded, as an example the “DISA” greeting
message which is message #5, after the #500 command, perform a “hook-flash” wait
approximately one second, perform another an repeat the procedure 4 times to
increment to message 5. Record the message.
5) Playback the message using the procedure below. If you wish to change the message,
re-record using the above procedure.

4.8.3 Playback

1) Pick up hand set and dial “#6XX, where “XX” is the voice prompt number. Voice
messages are numbered as follows:

00 - Message 1
01 - Message 2
02 - Message 3
03 - Message 4
04 - Message 5

Example: to listen to the DISA Greeting Message, dial #604.

The message will play. If no message is heard, one has not been recorded.

4.9 Flap Discreet Feature

The Aerocom 1000 CTU has a feature where particular handsets can be assigned via a
“Class of Service” (COS) where the will not ring on inbound calls during flight critical
operations. Typically, these handsets are the flight deck handset where the crew does not
wish to be distracted during take off and landing procedures. When a discreet signal is
provided by the “flap relay” of the aircraft to the Aerocom 1000, the phones will be
disabled for inbound calls until the flap position is restored to normal flight.

To activate this feature the procedure is as follows:

1) Identify the flight deck extension or other extensions where this feature is to become
active.
2) Using the configuration manager, assign COS 13 to the extension(s).

Section 4 - Page 20
V1.1 Dec ‘01

3) Insure that the flap relay is connected to Aerocom 1000 Utility Input #1. The flap-relay
must provide a “GROUND” on this connection when the flaps are extended. Wiring is as
follows:

5.7.3.0 INBOUND CALLING

3.1) Which telephone extension is designated to ring on inbound voice calls? _________
3.2) Which extension will ring on inbound fax calls? _________
3.3) Which extension will be the “Absent Transfer” extension? _________
(Absent transfer permits another phone to ring if the primary ring-in phone is not
answered after 7 rings.)
3.4) Does the customer wish to use DISA (Direct Inward Station Access)? _________
(In DISA mode the AEROCOM device will answer an inbound call after 2 rings and
provide a greeting voice message that permits a shore side caller to direct a call to a
specific extension. It also recognizes the fax CNG tone and will route fax calls to the fax
extension automatically. The voice prompt is an option.)

5.7.4.0 CALL ROUTING

The customer will need to specify how they wish each extension to route for outbound
calls. Typically ICG configures the system to hunt for least expensive medium to most
expensive medium. Example: landline, cellular, AMSC, Inmarsat. This may not always
hold true to fax or data modem calls as they require a higher performance medium to pass
data. For each service below (voice, fax, data) enter a 1 through 4 for the sequence
desired to route the traffic. In the case where an extension is to be restricted to particular
mediums only, do not enter a number for the restricted mediums.

5.7.4.1 Inbound Calling – incoming calls must be directed to particular extensions both
for inbound voice and fax calling. There are three modes of operation for
incoming calls. Each mode can be assigned to all trunk circuits or to individual
trunk circuits.

i) DISA with voice prompts- in this mode the AE1K will answer an inbound call,
play a voice greeting message and look for fax CNG tone. If fax tone or DTMF
digits to select an extension are not received, the call will default to a telephone. If
this mode is utilized, a telephone(s) must be assigned as the incoming ring
default. _____, ______, _______, ______.

ii) Voice / Fax Switch – in this mode the AE1K will answer an inbound call and
pass ring backs back to the caller. During this period the device will monitor for
fax CNG tone. If CNG tone is received it will ring a fax extension, if no CNG
tone is received it will ring a designated telephone. This is the preferred method
of operation as all circuits (except CBDR 4W ports) can be used for voice and fax
on in bound calls.

iii) Ring-In Mode – in this mode each inbound trunk is designated to ring a
particular telephone or fax machine. If this mode is utilized, each CBDR2 circuit
and CEPT-E1 must be assigned to ring particular telephones. They can be the
same telephone or several telephones. More than one telephone must be assigned.
If a device is in use the inbound call must ring alternate telephone(s).

5.7.4.2 Dialing Plan – the AE1K will support either the standard North American
Dialing Plan (NADP), or the European dialing plan or both. Indicate which
standard is to be used:

NADP - ____________
European - __________
Both - ______________

5.7.4.3 Voice Prompts – the AE1K is provided with standard voice prompts similar to
those provided by the North American telephone system. Messages to alert a
caller to misdialing, no service available, etc. are installed. These messages are
provided in English. If a customer requires another language, they can record
them at time of installation. Determine if the messages are required or not:

Messages On - ____________
Messages Off- ____________

5.7.4.4 Classes of Service – differing levels of restrictions can be applied to each

extension or to a group of extensions as required. Identify any restrictions that
will be required to control outbound communications access. Features such as
restricting to credit card or collect calling, requirements for PIN or Account
numbers, and access to mediums can all be defined. List any restriction or
operational functions below:

5.7.5.0 INMARSAT SERVICE PROVIDERS

If known, please list the Inmarsat service provider to be used for each ocean region. Also
is a different carrier is to be used for credit card or special services calling, identify the
carrier. Example: Comsat, Sat-com Direct, Arinc, Honeywell One, etc.)

extensions that are to be Pin number restricted for outbound calls. In the following table
list any Pin numbers that you prefer and the title or name of the user. ICG will assign
arbitrary Pin numbers if the customer has no preference as to the numbers requested.

Pin numbers are typically four digits in length however 6 digit numbers can be assigned.
Up to 200 numbers can be assigned.
