ATSU
The ATSU has been designed to take provision of all

foreseen evolutions. The modularity concept for
software permits to ease data link capability during
all Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic
Management (CNS/ATM) transitions.
The ATSU software is partitioned into two main parts:

- Aircraft interface / host platform and
- Data link applications.

AIRCRAFT INTERFACE/HOST PLATFORM SOFTWARE
The aircraft interface/host platform is composed of

four services :
- Air/ground communication, used for the
management of the air/ground communication
media,
- Human machine interface, used for the
management of the CNS/ATM cockpit interfaces
(MCDU, printer and alert function),
- On-board peripherals, used for the management
of the communication with the on-board
peripheral units (Data Management Unit (DMU),
CFDIU, FMS and Cabin Terminal (CT)),
- System management, used for the acquisition of
the aircraft parameters for application
software use and monitoring of the system
(power supply and BITE functions).

DATALINK APPLICATIONS
The data link applications include only Airline

Operation Control (AOC) for the pre FANS configuration.
The AOC applications are dedicated to data

communication services between the aircraft and the
airline facility.
The AOC is composed of :
- Remote AOC applications and
- Hosted AOC applications.
For the remote AOC applications the ATSU only routes

data to and from AOC peripherals. This routing is in
charge of receiving ground messages and routing them
to the right AOC peripheral and acquiring messages or
reports from these peripherals and sending them to the
ground.

The ATSU software is uploaded via the Data Loader.

If a complete software uploading is required, a
deselection of the ATSU data loading must be carried
out, for each type of software, so that a
re-initialization of the ATSU can be made (until the
COM ACARS FAULT warning goes off).

service providers usable for data communications.
VHF3 DATA MODE

The VHF3 DATA MODE menu displays the various regions
which can be selected. Each region is associated with
a datalink service provider and a frequency.
VHF3 VOICE DIRECTORY

The VHF3 VOICE DIRECTORY allows the following
functions:
- to display a voice frequency directory,
- to activate one of these frequencies,
- to select the data mode,
- to activate the voice frequency contained in
the last received company call,

- to manually enter a frequency.

INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE OF THE ATSU ROUTER
This procedure, called Initialization of the ATSU

Router, enables the Air-Ground communications
functions and services of the ATSU to be activated.
Three essential parameters are required :
- a valid flight ident,
- an A/C Registration Number (ARN) and
- a valid scan mask.
Otherwise, the ACARS STBY green memo is displayed on
the ECAM .
Let’s check the present configuration.

INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE OF THE ATSU ROUTER (Cont’d)
The A/C Registration Number is sent by the CFDIU.

The ATSU creates the flight ident by concatenating the
airline ident parameter and the flight number parameter
coming from the FMS.
The airline ident is not available and must be entered.

The last parameter required is the Scan Mask

validation.

providers usable for VHF data communications.
Test AS and Test DA are activated only for test and
shall not be selected for airline operations.
The operator can define two service providers by
entering a password in the scratchpad and by pressing
the line keys 2R and 3R.
The All Inputs Erase function is used to erase the

previous selection.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The avionics computers are Electrostatic Sensitive

Devices (ESDs). These components are susceptible to
damage by electrical sources that would not damage
conventional components.
The low energy source, that most commonly destroys
ESDs, is the human body which generates static
electricity in conjunction with the ground.
The precautions to follow are to :

- de-energize all power and signal sources,
- place the unit on a grounded conductive work
surface,
- ground any tools that will contact the unit...
When it is specified on the maintenance manual.
