Overview The Aircraft Data Gateway 400 (ADG-400) acts as the gateway for all data that flows into and out of the avionics and/or cabin system. ADG-400 also provides mass storage functionality for storage of avionics bus data, maintenance data, databases, operational software and other data the avionics components may choose to store. The ADG-400 unit provides a wireless access point for the system, via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which enables short-range connectivity of wireless mobile devices such as a pilots EFB or a maintenance laptop. This external connectivity to avionics data and functions allows applications on these devices to provide additional functionality for the flight and maintenance crews. Since this data logging functionality is off-

board in uncertified equipment, it can be easily updated with fixes or new functionality. The wireless access point will be available for both in-air and on-ground operation. The ADG-400 also provides connectivity to ground-based access points, via Wi-Fi or Cellular, which enables data transfers through the Internet to and from data center servers. This functionality allows the automatic (based on configuration) on-boarding and off-boarding of databases, reports, and data files. These interfaces are available while on-ground only. Accessories There are no accessories bundled with this product. Any cabling required to operate the device will be supplied by the end user. Operating Environment Installation Environment The ADG-400 is designed to be installed in a pressurized compartment of an aircraft, typically the cockpit or avionics bay. The ADG-400 is operational within the temperature range of -15C and +55C. Input Power The ADG-400 is designed to operate with an input power between 18 VDC and 36 VDC. The nominal input power is 28 VDC. Product Dimensions Figure 1, 2 and 3 provide the dimensions of the ADG-400. The ADG-400 is designed for 3 different mounting configurations. The base enclosure dimensions are shared between all configurations. The 2 DZUS mounting options both weigh 2.95 lbs +/-5%, while the flange mounting option weighs 3.15 lbs +/-

5%. Rev. 1.0 Page 2 of 9 Figure 1: DZUS Mount Dimensions Aversan Inc. Figure 2: Flange Dimensions Rev. 1.0 Page 4 of 9 Aversan Inc. Figure 3: Flange Rear View Suggested Fastener Specifications for Flange Mount to Aircraft:

Both the Client Wi-Fi and Cellular modems are disabled in air and are operational only on ground. The External WiFi and Cellular RF signals use the same antenna connections on the rear of the ADG-400 through a software controlled RF switch. Two SIM card slots are provided in the ADG-400 to support cellular operations in different regions. This means that only one is possible at a time, requiring the configuration file to include which method of communication contains priority. The ADG-400 client connection first attempts to connect using the connection type (Wi-Fi, Cellular SIM Card 1, or Cellular SIM Card 2) specified by the configuration files priority and retries the connection to the client connection type as many times as specified in the configuration. It also retries the connection based on the retry interval specified in the configuration. If the ADG-400 Client Connection cannot connect to the client connection type after the number of retries specified, the ADG-400 attempts to connect using the next connection type in priority. The priority list connections are attempted sequentially. The ADG-400 will loop indefinitely through the connection list if no end-point exists to create a successful connection to. If the client connection is lost involuntarily, and not due to aircraft take-off or loss of power, the client will retry the highest priority connection method first. All client connections are secured with certificate-based encryption. WiFi and Bluetooth The WiFi and Bluetooth module can operate while in-air or on ground. This module may operate simultaneously as the WiFi client and Bluetooth connection. This module can use internal antennas located on the front panel of the ADG-400 or through the rear antennas using a software controlled RF switch. RF Parameter Control The control of RF parameters will be up to the application software and maintenance personnel. Due to the limited power of the devices, it is unlikely that the power of the device will be altered. For certification testing, assume device is always operating at maximum power. Aversan Inc. RF Access Internal Antennas (Front Panel) The internal antennas are located on the front panel to either side of the access door. Figure 4: Front Panel Antennas Location The front panel antennas used are Laird FlexPIFA U.FL Antennas. A custom Laird part number was required due to the length of the antenna cable (250mm) required to reach the PCB. The custom part number EFB2455A3S-25MHF1 originated from the COTS FlexPIFA 001-0016. External RF Connectors (Rear Panel) The external RF connectors are shown below. This allows external aircraft antennas to be connected to the ADG-400s External WiFi, Cellular, and WiFi & Bluetooth modules.
