This page allows the operator to select/deselect VHF, SATCOM, or HF
transmission of data. ACARS is set with all three selections enabled at power-up
or data communication system reset. Normally, this permits ACARS to
automatically use VHF, SATCOM (if VHF is unavailable), or HF (if VHF and
SATCOM are unavailable). If one or more boxes is deselected, those systems lose
the capability to send downlink messages, but can still receive and display uplink
messages.
The lower portion of the ACARS page displays system status messages.
