CPAS-3000 Data Loader OVERVIEW
Data Loading Software For Windows Introduction
OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
The Collins Portable Access Software (CPAS) Data Loader is a
software application that provides external media upload and download
capabilities to Ethernet based Line Replaceable Units (LRU), like
Rockwell Collins’ File Server Unit (FSU). The FSU provides the added
capability to allow uploads and downloads to other LRUs, like the Flight
Management Computer (FMC) and Maintenance Diagnostic Computer
(MDC), which are attached to the FSU. The CPAS Data Loader is
designed for use on a standard Windows-based PC with Ethernet
capability.
Overview of File Server Unit (FSU)
The FSU is part of Rockwell Collins’ Pro Line 21 Continuum architecture
that provides an advanced, highly integrated cockpit environment.
The FSU provides the storage and processing platform for advanced
features, like electronic airport and procedure charts, up-linked
graphical weather and enhanced map overlays.
The FSU provides data load connectivity to other Rockwell Collins’ Pro
Line 21 and Pro Line 4 LRUs, like the FMC, the MDC and Aeronautical
Radio, Inc (ARINC) 429 based LRUs. These LRUs are loaded over
the same Ethernet connection that is used to load the FSU. Thus, the
CPAS-3000 supports loading of all (aircraft loadable) LRUs using the
same user interface and a single Ethernet connection, while relieving
the operator of having to understand what data load type corresponds
to what LRU.
Overview of Data Load Types
The CPAS-3000 automatically manages the type of data loads and
only provides a list of data and software loads that are appropriate for
the selected target or LRU. This alleviates the operator from having to
understand and manage the different data load types. The following
paragraphs provide an overview of the various data load types that
CPAS supports.
The CPAS supports ARINC 615A loads for Ethernet based LRUs,
like the FSU. ARINC 615A loads must be formatted per ARINC 665
standards. The CPAS does not support ARINC 615A download
capabilities.
2nd Edition
6 Jun 08 2-1
OVERVIEW CPAS-3000 Data Loader
Introduction Data Loading Software For Windows
When connected to the FSU, the CPAS also supports ARINC 615-3
loads for ARINC 429 based LRUs and Rockwell Collins proprietary
RS-422 DBU (Data Base Unit) based loads to the FMC and MDC. The
CPAS does not support ARINC 615-3 download capabilities.
The CPAS supports two types of RS-422 DBU based loads, normal
DBU mode and enhanced DBU mode. Normal DBU mode functions
similar to a normal DBU – once the data load has been started on the
CPAS, the operator must then initiate the actual upload or download
operation through the appropriate FMC or MDC interface. In enhanced
DBU mode, the CPAS can initiate the actual upload or download,
thereby bypassing any required interaction through the FMC or MDC
interface. If a FMC or MDC does not support enhanced DBU mode,
CPAS will revert back to normal DBU mode, which is supported by all
FMCs and MDCs. CPAS will prompt the operator (through a message
in the status window) when FMC or MDC interaction is necessary.
On some aircraft that contain an Avionics System Local Area Network
(LAN), the CPAS also supports ARINC 615-3 loads for ARINC 429
based LRUs over the Avionics System LAN. On these aircraft, the
ARINC 429 based LRUs are connected to a data load switch attached
to an Input/Output Concentrator (IOC) that is connected to the Avionics
System LAN.

SELECTING PC NETWORK ADAPTER
INTRODUCTION
For the Data Loader to properly communicate with the FSU or other
Ethernet based LRUs, the Internet Protocol (IP) address, subnet
mask, MTU size, connection speed, and duplex mode of the Ethernet
network connection must be properly configured. The Data Loader will
automatically configure the network adapter on application startup and
restore the network adapter to its original configuration upon application
exit.
In order to provide this capability, the installation program attempts
to automatically select the Local Area Connection network adapter
and determine the appropriate configuration settings during software
installation. If a Local Area Connection is not detected, the installation
program selects the first available network adapter, excluding Wireless
and 1394 (FireWire) network connections. If multiple Local Area
Connection entries are detected, the user will be prompted to manually
select the PC network adapter and appropriate configuration settings
that will be used by the Data Loader.
NOTE

Data Loading Software For Windows CPAS-3000 Data Loader Limitations
PROGRAM LIMITATIONS
CPAS-3000 DATA LOADER LIMITATIONS

The CPAS-3000 Data Loader is designed to transfer data/software,
with the following limitations:
• The CPAS-3000 will not run under the Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows ME, or Windows NT operating system.
• Downloading data/software (from a target/LRU to the Data Loader) is
currently not supported for the 615A and 615-3 data load types.
• Only one upload from a CD-ROM may be performed at a time.
• Multiple loads can be performed simultaneously, but only a single
load can be performed for a given target (e.g., can load the navigation
database into all FMCs at the same time but cannot load both the
Charts and Enhanced Maps databases into the FSU at the same
time).
• The FSU and the LRUs attached to the FSU (i.e., FMCs, MDC
and 429-based LRUs) cannot be loaded simultaneously. Although
loads for the FSU and the LRUs attached to the FSU can be started
simultaneously, they will be loaded serially.
• The CPAS-3000 will store only one pilot route file, one disk route
file and one pilot waypoint file for each FMC. The CPAS-3000 will
store only one checklist file and one test and rigging file for the MDC.
CPAS will overwrite any of these downloaded files that may already
be stored in the \DBU\Output directory.
• Importing Navigation databases from floppy disk is not supported.
If a Navigation database is contained on floppy disks, it should be
ordered on a larger media type (e.g., CD-ROM) or electronically.
• Importing data/software with individual files split across media
members (floppy disk, CD-ROM, etc.) is not supported. If a file does
not fit on a single media member (e.g., floppy disk), it should be
ordered on a larger media type (e.g., CD-ROM) or electronically.
• If the user does not have sufficient rights to modify the network
parameters and enable/disable the network adapter (e.g.,
administrator rights), then the PC will require a reboot at startup and
exit of the CPAS-3000 Data Loader program.

Figure 9-11 Acquire/Refresh Targets
While a load is in progress or the Data Loader is waiting for targets to

response to the query command, the ACQUIRE/REFRESH TARGETS
button remains grayed (disabled).
SELECT TARGET/LRU TO BE UPDATED

The SELECT TARGET/LRU TO BE UPDATED drop-down box (Figure
9-12) is a list of targets or LRUs that are currently available for data
loading via the Ethernet network. In order to generate this list, an
Acquire/Refresh Targets query must be sent by the CPAS. This list is
then generated using the type name and position of all targets that reply
to this query command. When one or more targets reply to this query
command, the drop-down portion of the drop-down box is automatically
displayed. The Acquire/Refresh Targets query can be sent automatically
when CPAS is started, or manually through the ACQUIRE/REFRESH
TARGETS button or the VIEW and then ACQUIRE/REFRESH

If importing 615-3 compatible data/software that is not in the ARINC
665 defined format, a prompt will appear allowing a name to be
specified for the data/software. A suggested name will be displayed
based on the location of the data/software. The specified name will
be used to identify the imported data/software item.
The imported data/software item is stored as a subdirectory within the

data load type directory (i.e., \615A, \6153, or \DBU). The data load
type directories are located in a \Loadsets directory stored in the same
directory as the application executable. If the default installation path is
used, the loadset directory path would be C:\Program Files\Rockwell
Collins\CPAS-3000\Loadsets.
The name of the directory storing the imported data/software files
depends on the data load type. 615A and 615-3 data/software
directories are named after the data/software item part number, and
DBU data/software is stored in sequential directories \0.dbd, \1.dbd,
etc., in a directory named after the database type (e.g., \Navdb,
\Routes, \Perfdb, \Vspddb, \MDCData, or \Output).

Beware! Logging of detailed load information may dramatically
slow down a dataload and in some cases prevent the load from
completing successfully.
• DELETE LOG FILES OLDER THAN: This box determines whether

or not log files located in the log file directory that are older than the
amount of days specified should be deleted. When checked, deletion
of the old log files occurs on application startup. The number of days
must be between 1 and 365, and the default number of days is 60.
The DELETE LOG FILES OLDER THAN box is checked by default.

closing the CONFIGURATION window.
FSU TAB
The FSU tab (Figure 9-36) contains parameters involving the interaction
of the Data Loader with the FSU.
2nd Edition
6 Jun 08 9-39
Figure 9-36 Configuration Window: FSU Tab
The parameters and controls contained on the FSU tab are:

• PRIMARY TARGET NAME: This value specifies the name of the
FSU target expected in the response to the Acquire/Refresh Targets
query. The CPAS will use the IP address from this target to establish
the port connections of the LRUs connected to the FSU (i.e., FMC,
MDC and 615-3 targets). The default primary target name is FSU.
• REFRESH TARGETS TIMEOUT (SEC): This value specifies the
amount of time that the Data Loader should continue to issue
Acquire/Refresh Targets queries on application startup if no
responses are received. The default timeout value is 30 seconds.
2nd Edition
9-40 6 Jun 08
NOTE
N
The Refresh Targets timeout value is only applicable if the
AUTOMATICALLY ACQUIRE/REFRESH TARGETS ON STARTUP
box is checked on the DATA LOADER CONFIGURATION window.
• WAIT TIME FOR PORT CONNECTION (SEC): This value specifies

the amount of time, in addition to the FSU-specified reboot wait time,
that the Data Loader should attempt to connect to the FSU ports
listed in this tab. The default wait time is 30 seconds.
NOTE
N
The FSU port connections are only established when the
AUTOMATICALLY INITIATE DATALOAD MODE ON FSU box is
checked on the DATA LOADER CONFIGURATION window and the
FSU target specified by PRIMARY TARGET NAME is first returned
to the Acquire/ Refresh Targets query.
The six port controls allow the port numbers to be specified for each of
the FSU ports. The default values for each are:
• ARINC 615-3 LOW SPEED PORT is 8351
• ARINC 615-3 HIGH SPEED PORT is 8352
• FMC #1 PORT is 8353
• MDC PORT is 8355.
Icons in the PORT CONNECTED column indicate the connection status
of the port in that row. A green circle icon indicates the port is connected
and a red X icon indicates the port is not connected. For example, in the
FSU tab shown in Figure 9-36, the ARINC 615-3 HIGH SPEED PORT
icon indicates that the port is not connected, while the FMC #1 PORT
icon indicates that port is connected.
There will only be one ARINC 615-3 port connected at any one time.
The CPAS will connect the appropriate ARINC 615-3 port based on the
bus speed being used for the data load.
Icons in the LRU RESPONDING column indicate whether or not the
target connected through the port is responding to poll bytes sent by
the Data Loader. A green circle icon indicates the target is responding,
a green circle icon with a black plus sign (+) inscribed in the circle
2nd Edition
6 Jun 08 9-41
indicates the target is responding and supports the enhanced DBU

mode, and a red X icon indicates that the target is not responding. For
example, in the FSU tab shown in Figure 9-36, the FMC #1 PORT
icon indicates that the target is responding, while the MDC PORT icon
indicates that the target is responding and supports the enhanced
DBU mode.
NOTE
N
Poll bytes are only sent for the DBU data load type, so the 615-3
port icons for the LRU RESPONDING column display N/A to
indicate this column is not applicable to these ports.
Connected ports may be disconnected by clicking on the boxes next

to the port numbers and clicking on the DISCONNECT SELECTED
PORTS button. Any disconnected ports will not be reconnected until
the CPAS-3000 is restarted.

CPAS-3000 Data Loader TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
INTRODUCTION
This section provides a few troubleshooting tips for various common
problems.
CPAS-3000 DATA LOADER INSTALLATION

FAILS
Data Loader installation may fail if there is not sufficient hard drive
memory available on the PC. Additionally, if the user has restricted
rights on the system, a failure may occur while attempting to register
application-related COM objects. The user must have administrator
rights to install the CPAS-3000 Data Loader.
INSUFFICIENT HARD DRIVE MEMORY

Exit the installation program. Remove any unnecessary program files
stored on the PC hard drive and uninstall any unused programs using
ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS from the CONTROL PANEL. Run the
CPAS-3000 Data Loader installation program to retry the installation.
UNABLE TO REGISTER THE COM OBJECTS

Exit the installation program. Contact your local system administrator
for further instructions on how to access or obtain an account with
administrator rights.
NO TARGETS AVAILABLE TO UPDATE

If no targets are shown in the SELECT TARGETS/LRU TO BE
UPDATED drop-down box, ensure the FSU and all other LRUs are
operating and are properly linked to the PC through the Ethernet
connections. If any LRUs are attached to the FSU, ensure that
the connectors to the FSU are fully tightened. Also, verify that
the appropriate Ethernet network connection was selected during
installation and that the network connection is properly configured for
the PC. Refer to the Network Tab under the Advanced section of the
2nd Edition

TROUBLESHOOTING CPAS-3000 Data Loader
Target/LRU Missing From the Update List Data Loading Software For Windows
Data Loader Configuration Window topic for information on viewing and

changing the network connection parameters.
Disable any internet security software, like firewalls and Virtual Private
Network (VPN) software, that may be running on the PC, as these
programs can block network traffic needed to communicate with the
LRUs. These programs should be re-enabled before connecting the PC
into any internet or office network.
After checking the connections, and disabling all internet security
software, refresh the target list by clicking on the ACQUIRE/REFRESH
TARGETS button. If no targets appear within a few seconds, exit the
CPAS-3000. Wait for at least a minute to allow any attached LRUs
to reboot into normal mode, then restart the CPAS-3000. If the Data
Loader is not configured to refresh targets automatically (refer to the
General section of the Data Loader Configuration Window topic), click
on the ACQUIRE/REFRESH TARGETS button.
If targets still do not appear, uncheck the AUTOMATICALLY REFRESH
TARGETS ON STARTUP box on the DATA LOADER CONFIGURATION
window (refer to the General section of the Data Loader Configuration
Window topic). When prompted upon closing the DATA LOADER
CONFIGURATION window, save the modified settings for all future
Data Loader sessions. Exit the CPAS-3000.
Wait for at least one minute to allow any attached LRUs to reboot
into normal mode, then restart the CPAS-3000. Click on the
ACQUIRE/REFRESH TARGETS button. If targets now appear,
there is a problem with the driver software for the network adapter
that does not allow the AUTOMATICALLY ACQUIRE/REFRESH
TARGETS ON STARTUP feature to work properly. Please contact
the laptop manufacturer or the network adapter manufacturer to see
if a newer version of the driver software for the network adapter
exists. The CPAS-3000 will still function properly except that the
ACQUIRE/REFRESH TARGETS button needs to be manually clicked
every time the CPAS-3000 is started.
TARGET/LRU MISSING FROM THE UPDATE

LIST
If a particular target/LRU is not shown in the SELECT TARGETS/LRU
TO BE UDATED drop-down box, ensure the corresponding target

hardware is operating and is properly linked to the PC through either an

Ethernet connection or the FSU.
If the missing target/LRU is a target attached to the FSU, verify that
the FSU is listed in the SELECT TARGETS/LRU TO BE UDATED
drop-down box. If the FSU is present in the list, open the FSU advanced
configuration settings to view the connection status of the particular
target/LRU port (refer to the Advanced section under the Data Loader
Configuration Window topic for information on accessing the FSU
settings). If the port is not connected, refer to the FSU operator’s
guide for further instructions on how to handle unsuccessful LRU port
connections.
After checking the connections, refresh the target list by clicking on the
ACQUIRE/REFRESH TARGETS button. If the missing target/LRU does
not appear within a few seconds, exit the CPAS-3000 and cycle power
on the missing target/LRU. Wait for at least one minute to allow the
target /LRU to reboot into normal mode, then restart the CPAS-3000
Data Loader.
INSTALLED DATA/SOFTWARE NOT SHOWN

If data/software previously imported (successfully) onto the CPAS-3000
does not appear in the DATA/SOFTWARE INSTALLED ON CPAS list in
the MANAGE DATA/SOFTWARE window, restart the CPAS-3000 and
open the MANAGE DATA/SOFTWARE window. If the data/software
still does not appear in the list, the data/software files may have been
corrupted. If the original data/software files are available, attempt to
import the original data/software files. If the import is also unsuccessful,
refer to the Unable to Import a Data/Software Item section under this
topic.
UNABLE TO IMPORT A DATA/SOFTWARE ITEM

Import problems can occur when a data/software item is not supported
or not recognized by the Data Loader, or when an error occurs during
the import operation.

Unable to Import a Data/Software Item Data Loading Software For Windows
DATA/SOFTWARE NOT SHOWN

If a data/software item is not shown in the AVAILABLE
DATA/SOFTWARE list in the SELECT DATA/SOFTWARE TO IMPORT
window, importing the data/software item may not be supported. Refer
to the Program Limitations topic for information on what types of
data/software imports are not supported by the CPAS-3000.
If the data/software import is not listed as unsupported, the
data/software item may be corrupted or missing files. Verify that the
data/software files are still valid, restart the CPAS-3000, and retry the
import. If the problem persists, refer to the Support Information topic for
support contact information.
ERROR OCCURRED DURING THE IMPORT

An error can occur while importing a data/software item if the import of
the data/software item is not supported from the media members that
contain it (e.g., multiple disks) or if the data/software item is corrupted
or missing files. If the import of the data/software item is not supported
from the media members that contain it, an error will be displayed
describing the incompatibility. Refer to the Program Limitations topic
for information on what types of data/software imports from media
members are not supported by the CPAS-3000.
If no specific error message is displayed during the import, the
data/software may be corrupted or missing files. Verify that the
data/software files are still valid, restart the CPAS-3000, and retry the
import. If the problem persists, refer to the Support Information topic for
support contact information.
A failed integrity check indicates that one or more of the files in a
data/software item have been corrupted. If an integrity check fails for a
data/software item stored on the hard drive, the data/software should
be removed from CPAS and re-imported from the original media (i.e.,
CD, DVD, USB memory stick, etc.). If the integrity check still fails for the
re-imported data/software item, please obtain an updated (valid) version
of the data/software item. Refer to the Manage Data/Software Window
topic for information on performing the remove and import operations.
If an integrity check fails for a data/software item stored on media other
than the hard drive (i.e., CD, DVD, USB memory stick, etc.), please
obtain an updated (valid) version of the data/software item.

DATA/SOFTWARE FAILS AN INTEGRITY CHECK

A failed integrity check indicates that one or more of the files in a
data/software item have been corrupted. If an integrity check fails for a
data/software item stored on the hard drive, the data/software should
be removed from CPAS and re-imported from the original media (i.e.,
CD, DVD, USB memory stick, etc.). If the integrity check still fails for the
re-imported data/software item, please obtain an updated (valid) version
of the data/software item. Refer to the Manage Data/Software Window
topic for information on performing the remove and import operations.
If an integrity check fails for a data/software item stored on media other
than the hard drive (i.e., CD, DVD, USB memory stick, etc.), please
obtain an updated (valid) version of the data/software item.
DATALOAD FAILURE ENCOUNTERED

If a dataload fails, load status messages can help diagnose the cause
of the failure. Click on the status tab for the load and make sure
the DISPLAY LOGGED STATUS INFO box is checked. If this box
is checked and no status information is displayed while the load is in
progress, cancel the dataload. Close the status tab for the load, click
Acquire/Refresh Targets, and retry the dataload.
If an ARINC 665 formatted or Navigation Database data/software item
is involved in the failed dataload, the integrity of the data/software
files can be checked by selecting VIEW and then CHECK INTEGRITY
OF SELECTED DATA/SOFTWARE from the main CPAS-3000 Data
Loader menu bar. If an error is encountered during the integrity check,
refer to the Data/Software Fails an Integrity Check section under the
Troubleshooting topic for more information on performing the integrity
check.
FILE MISSING
If the load status messages indicate a file is missing from the
data/software item, exit the CPAS-3000 and verify the data/software
item is still valid and all data/software files are located in the item’s
loadset directory. Restart CPAS-3000 and retry the dataload.
2nd Edition
6 Jun 08 10-5
Dataload Failure Encountered Data Loading Software For Windows
TIMEOUT/COUNTER ERROR
If the load status messages indicate a timeout value or a retry counter
was exceeded, verify that the advanced configuration settings and
any stored load parameter values for the data/software being loaded
are set to the default values. Refer to the Properties section under
the Manage Data/Software Window topic for information on viewing
stored load parameter values, and the Advanced section under the
Data Loader Configuration Window topic for information on viewing
advanced configuration settings. Exit CPAS-3000 and disable any
screen savers or virus protection software running on the PC, as these
items may inhibit performance of the CPAS-3000. Restart CPAS-3000
and retry the dataload.
COMMUNICATION/TRANSMISSION ERROR
If the load status messages indicate a communication or transmission
error occurred, exit CPAS-3000. Verify the FSU or other Ethernet
based LRU is operating and is properly linked to the PC through the
Ethernet connection. Also, verify that the Ethernet network connection
is properly configured for the PC. Refer to the Configuring the Network
Settings section under the Setup topic for information on configuring

2nd Edition
10-6 6 Jun 08
Data Loading Software For Windows Other Notes
LOAD ABORTED
If the load status messages indicate the load is aborted by the target
hardware with either a LUH received failure or file received failure,
the network adapter may be misconfigured. Verify that the network
parameters are set to the default values (or to the appropriate settings
for the target/LRU being loaded). Refer to the Network Tab under the
Advanced section of the Data Loader Configuration Window topic for
information on viewing the network parameters.
WIRELESS OR LOCAL AREA CONNECTIONS

NOT WORKING
If wireless or local area network connections are not working properly
during CPAS-3000 operation, this may be a result of CPAS-3000
disabling active network connections on startup. If CPAS-3000 exits
abnormally during program operation and the active wireless or local
area network connections are not working properly, please restart
CPAS-3000 and exit to re-enable the network connections. Refer to the
Network Connections Detected Window topic under Program Operation
for information on how CPAS-3000 handles detected wireless and local
area network connections.
OTHER NOTES
• Disable any internet security software, like firewalls and Virtual
Private Network (VPN) software, that may be running on the PC, as
these programs can block network traffic needed to communicate
with the LRUs. These programs should be re-enabled before
connecting the PC into any internet or office network.
• Disabling virus protection software before starting CPAS-3000 is
recommended, as it may inhibit the performance of CPAS-3000
dataloads.
• Software that might cause the PC to enter a sleep mode if no
keyboard or mouse activity occurs, such as screen savers or power
savers, may inhibit the performance of CPAS-3000 dataloads.
Disabling this software before starting CPAS-3000 is recommended.
