Verifying the installation
4-30 Chapter 4: Installation 98-145168-A
4.4.8 Recommended cable between the SCM and the CSDU
Use the following cables to connect the SCM to the CSDU:
• Communication cable (LAN). Data to and from the SCM: Carlisle (Tensolite) 100Base-T
Ethernet Cable, 100 Ohm ±10%, 13 pF/ft, AVG24
Part number: NF24Q100-01
• Twisted pair shield cable for power source and power return: Carlisle (Thermax)
M27500-22 WJ 2 S 24 (MIL-DTL-22759/86 wire), silver plated shield
4.5 Verifying the installation
You must perform certain check procedures during and after installation of the
AVIATOR 200S system. The first check procedures are performed after wiring, but before
inserting LRUs.For information on the required and recommended check procedures, refer
to Verification on page 6-1.
4.6 Activation of airtime services
Before the AVIATOR 200S system becomes operational, the aircraft owner or operator
must establish a contract with an Inmarsat Service Provider (ISP) so the system can be
activated. The airtime provider handles terminal activation, billing and technical support
that is related to the communication network.
The activation process may take some time, so to make sure it is ready in time, start the
activation procedure some time before the installation on the aircraft begins.
4.6.1 ID numbers for the AVIATOR 200S system
ICAO address / AES ID
The ICAO address (International Civil Aviation Organization) is unique and assigned to an
aircraft by the civil aviation authority of the state in which the aircraft is registered. This
number is the same number used for the Mode S transponder and the TCAS system and in
some countries it's calculated from the tail no. In the Inmarsat world, this is also referred to
as the AES ID (Airborne Earth Station ID). The ICAO is normally noted in Oct (octal), but in
some cases Hex is also used. The CSDU has an ARINC-429 compliant AES ID input for
reception of a unique aircraft identification code.
• ARINC 600 connector, rear receptacle, middle plug: MP07A, MP07B.
• Label 275 and 276
The ICAO address can also be received from the CMU (label 214 and 216).
IMSI
The IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) is the ID for the SwiftBroadband
service and is tied to the SDU Configuration Module (SCM).
