If the Built-In Router option is activated in your system you can connect
several PCs and other IP devices to the AVIATOR 200/300/350 system.
Then the system operates as a router. It handles IP data traffic so the
AVIATOR 200/300/350 system can be used with multiple computers for e-
mail, Internet access, VPN, intranet and other applications that use the
packet switched connection.
If you have purchased the Wireless Option you can connect multiple
computers and other IP devices to the system via the Wireless Access Point.
For more information on these options see Built-in router and Wireless
options on page 5.
To connect a computer to the AVIATOR 200/300/350 system you have
several possibilities:
• Use one of the six LAN connectors (Ethernet) to connect user
computers or other LAN equipment. Check how many of the LAN
connectors are available in your installation and where to find them in
the cabin.
• If available, use the Wireless Option to connect computers and other

There is also the front Maintenance connector on the front plate of the
SwiftBroadband Unit. This connector may not be accessible during flight. It
is reserved for service and maintenance purposes.
